I think that nurture culture also doesn’t interact well with ‘typical culture’. If someone expresses an idea that I disagree with, and I start offering them things like “Huh, I’m curious what’s the cause of your belief that x?” or “Interesting, I disagree. Here’s a picture of what it’s like to be me in relation to that claim, does any of it resonate with you?” in many of the above situations the other person is just getting weirded out and not really sure what I’m doing. They were just saying words, they’re not sure what game I’m trying to play, and they’ll try to change the topic.
Loosely define nurture and combat culture as different truth seeking methods and typical culture as the absence of truth seeking. Then using nurture or combat won’t work in typical culture as only one of you is truth-seeking. If the other person is “just making conversation” then any attempt to change their mind will be seen as weird.
My hypothesis is that when someone who defaults to typical culture realises that truth seeking is required, nurture culture will seem less weird to them.
This is only based on my own experience of applying nurture and combat. In my work I often have to get people willing to seek for the truth together and be willing to disagree. Nurture is generally easier for newbies to cope with.
Getting people interested in seeking the truth in the first place is an even harder problem.
