There are around 7,000 languages spoken in the world, but that number is shrinking. Unesco estimates that half could disappear by the end of the century. So how are languages lost, and what does that mean for the people who speak them?

    How do we improve society, if all societies are equal? It’s nonsense!!!

    By evaluating individual stats, not entire societies, and by letting societies determine what they value.

    No those are stats EVERYBODY should value

    You don’t need to share other people’s values. But you have no right to determine what other people should value. Big colonizer energy from you.

      That’s an oxymoron, societies are collectives of individuals. If you can evaluate4 on an individual, you can collect it to evaluate a society.
      You are talking like culture is some sort of religion, where it’s all made up, and completely disconnected from evidence and reason.

      So you maintain that good health and long life are just a subjective values?
