+4. I just got around to reading this post that I had heard was very good but also a slog. Well, it wasn’t much of a slog after all (apparently it’s been edited), and it was indeed quite interesting.
I was commenting on another post to a colleague, and I said “It made all the wrong choices, but it did paint a whole picture”. I was saying there’s a virtue in trying to actually answer ambitious questions. Similarly, here for instance, I don’t think I’m sold on the lead/follow as being a stand-in for big/small, or its relationship to dominance/prestige, but it did feel like it was explaining some parts of the world. The parts on culture clashes also felt like gears I will be keeping in mind when meeting other cultures.
Also the diagrams were all great & helpful.
Overall I am pretty confident that this is in the top 50 posts of the year, and I will move my vote to a +9 if I feel concerned that it isn’t being given enough attention.
