Knowledge is temporary and ever changing, aesthetics are forever

Hellenes used to think volcanoes were from angry gods but they're still immortal
>>
knowledge IS culture
>>
>>8260630
No.
>>
>>8260630
define 'culture' without using the word, or making any allusions to, 'knowledge' before presupposing that they are mutually exclusive concepts

Knowledge is a part of culture, and vice versa. Your question is a waste of time.

>is up more important than south?

this is how stupid you are
>>
>>8260712
I'd say up is more important than south. Southern hemisphere is pretty shit. If you go up you're in space, and we're probably going to need space for its resources.
>>
>>8260733
what if you're at the north pole
>>
>>8260733
>>8260712
That's a retarded comparison anyway since north and south are human concepts and you can revert them if you feel like it, lots of old maps were "upside down".
>>
>>8260675
>The way of life
>general customs
>beliefs
and in what way are these aspects not established, practiced, and involved with the application of knowledge?
>>
>"define" define
>Also customs and knowing is the same thing
>South is shit tier

i/lit/erates at their finest
>>
>>8260735
Then I guess you better go up

>>8260742
Everything is a 'human concept' if you want to be retardedly abstract about it. If we're talking about south and up as they're used today, up is undoubtedly superior to south.

>>8260771
How is south not the objectively shitiest direction? The North, West, and East have admirable civilizations and up and down have plenty of valuable resources. I mean sure, you could say South has plenty of valuable resources too, but it's also filled with smell brown people.

>up is superior

i bet you read books from bottom to top too you backwards motherfucker

>>8260630
are u retarded???

Culture is for bacteria
>>
>>8260630
Culture is knowledge.

Knowledge of traditions, customs, wisdom, science, religion, styles, technologies, architecture, ...
>>
>>8260630
if you define knowledge as knowledge that isn't part of your culture then culture is more important
>>
>>8260647
Other way around, and culture is more than knowledge.
