How terrible can it be without culture?

Without culture (here refers to the broadest culture, including knowledge, ideas, beliefs, etc. It really limits your imagination and makes you pay IQ tax in your life, so you are left behind by time. No culture leads to all kinds of IQ taxes. In fact, the real imagination lies in spiritual culture and three views (values, world outlook and outlook on life).

In fact, it is not poverty but illiteracy that really limits our imagination. For example, the same poor families in rural areas, some parents desperately provide for their children to go to school, and some parents let their children go home to farm early. The reason behind this difference is not only that poverty limits imagination, but that the understanding of culture determines the emergence of these two different decisions. This cultural understanding allows the former to retain the hope and imagination of changing poverty, while the latter is likely to pass on poverty from generation to generation.

Without culture, imagination is really limited, life can only be with the present, and there can be no poetry and distance. Without culture, you won't know the importance of knowledge. You will ask: Why can't you find a job after graduating from college? He will equate going to college and learning cultural knowledge with finding a job, and then constantly spread the old joke that the classmate with the first grade finally works for the classmate with the worst grade and regard it as a classic.
