It's not all been good:
Didn't say they were "good," did I?
I said "transformative."

You said transformed for the better. Those milk carton things have not done that.

Tough crowd here.
No kidding...
IMO, there's no doubt about the value of cultural influences from "non-Western" civilizations.
But, I repeat my question: What have you done for me lately?
Electricity
Printing press
Internal combustion (yeah, I know)
The list goes on and on.These are non-cultural advances. They have transformed humanity.
For the better.
Though culinary achievements, musical and literary achievements are not to be dismissed, they are not transformative. They are evolutionary, not revolutionary.

I think that climate was factor in this. Cold weather people are forced to innovate more than hot weather people.
