to increase their freedom, doin'da dunk even more, avoiding da weel etc libertine philosophers were coming-up with cultural references to dismantle their entourage's ethnocentrism ("the idea that one culture is superior to another and the idea that one culture has the right to impose the tenants of one's own culture onto another culture.")

i would like to read more of these "shockahz"

here are 2 examples taken from contemporary anthropology (unfortunately i don't remember the name of the tribes for now...they were from oceania i think. maybe someone knows?)


  • a tribe have a rite of passage for young men: they got them to drink the sperm of their maternal uncle so they'll get sperm for themselves.
  • another tribe is all about apparences outside their hut but once inside it's ok for teens to turn into orgy freaks. a teen girl not soaked in sperm during these encounters have less prestige than the ones who do.

new "aliens=humans" answers

Those tribes sound suspiciously like fraternities/sororities

"i don't remember the name of the tribes for now...they were from oceania i think." = not a very good job of dismantling ethnocentrism

the 2 examples from contemporary anthropology were taken from a listen of drunk talk of a room mate.
