From Robert Sapolsky's "Behave"."By definition, collectivist cultures are more comfortable than
individualistic ones with people being used as a means to a utilitarian
end. Moreover, moral imperatives in collectivist cultures tend to be about
social roles and duties to the group, whereas those in individualstic
cultures are typically about individual rights.""Mothers in individualistic cultures show a cartoon of a school of fish
with one out front, and she'll describe it to her child as the leader."Mothers in collectivist cultures show the same cartoon of the school of
fish, and the fish out front must have done something wrong, because no one
will play with him."When China says "we don't want a war, but....Has Trump underestimated the staying power of his collectivist adversary?What will be his response to China's move today, raising fresh tariff's on 75 billion?
