Awaretheory in many ways solves the problem of cultural relativism which might be stated as is there a right or correct culture that we as conscious beings should strive for or are all cultures equal in value? There are many different ways to determine value for a culture. It appears that most naturally occurring cultures have value of some sort (like survival ability up to some point until another culture takes over). It is also possible to imagine many different cultures some of which have no value at all. An itofazpaducer has the ability to create an entire culture for one conscious being. That cultural experience can be either positive, negative, or both for that being. It appears that most cultures have lifetimes that are positive, neutral or negative over all. So an itofazpaducer can create awarepaths that are positive over all for a particular culture, without the negative awarepaths that come with its culture. A specific example is reproducing the awarepath of hitler in an itoawarepaducer without all of the suffering that hitler actually produced. There would be no suffering because the reality has no actual humans or other conscious beings connected to it they are just part of the sensepath.
Since awaretheory allows for many different consciousnesses to be produced and reproduced with the same ixperiencitness, consciousnessses with the same ixperiencitness can decide what consciousnesses (awarepaths) should be produced and reproduced within a culture. This can not happen if all controlling cultures are equally strived for. Caveman, dogmatic religious, supernatural, and other non-science or anti-science cultures will not be able to produce the complex science and technology required for making the most types of itofazpaducers that are needed to produce their own and other cultures. It not only takes a pro-science and pro-technology culture, it take a expansive culture willing to produce many different types of awarepaths in efficient itofazpaducers that do not destroy the universe (earth) that they reside in.
There thus should be for actual multiculturalism to exist a culture that has the ability and desire to produce other lower level cultures and the ability to set positive goals for these cultures like producing culture based awarepaths without the extreme suffering that a life in a culture can produce. Itoawarepaducers can produce culture based awarepaths that can see the suffering of other conscious beings (humans) without there actually being that extreme suffering.
If you believe in a religion where life after death and immortality is promised for correct behavior, the concepts that Awaretheory proposes will seem alien. This is because people have a very limited view of themselves and what they can do. Consequently, the idea that you can make many different versions of yourself in many different cultures will seem crazy in the sense that it will have no real value to you from your perspective. There are likely versions of you that can see the value in doing this and this might be why you are currently experiencing what you are. You may not in reality be a human body but a itocomponent in an itofazpaducer that is creating a culture based awarepath. The culture being your religion or belief system, the way people around behave, and the environment that they have created.
There is the difference in the consciousnesses that are experienced in a culture and the actual culture that exists itself. Is the goal to have consciousnesses to exist about the cultures or the culture itself to exist? It is assumed that a culture will be full of conscious beings experiencing the culture, but can a culture exist without having any conscious beings in it. It can if it is being studied or simulated to develop knowledge about it but then it has conscious beings that are the ones that are creating the simulation and being conscious about the results.
It appears that there are many cultures that can not develop naturally. There many be no natural path for their creation. However, an itofazpaducer could create the expereinces (awarepaths) that conscious beings would have experienced if they did exist. there are
There can be many awarepaths that experience just one culture and then there can be many that experience many different cultures like many people partially do now days through trips, television, books, etc. Should conscious beings only be able to experience one culture? Should they only be able to experience a limited set of cultures like ones that can naturally occur on earth or only one that have occurred on earth? The problem with different cultures is they can clash and destroy each other. In an itofazpaducer the cultures can experince being distroyed with out the ultimate negative consequences of their destruction because there destruction is sensepath produced rather than reality produced.
If we value a culture by the value of the consciousnesses that it produces then there are many different cultures that can make many good and positive awarepaths. We can also make a percentage comparison of the good awarepaths that a culture makes compared to the bad awarepaths. When making the decision of what is good or bad in terms of awarepaths, length of life and perspective come to mind. Awaretheory makes length of life less important because there are many consciousnesses (produced by different bodies) that have the same ixperiencitnesses so death is not a major concern. From the modern perspective a caveman's life might seem very difficult but from the perspective of the caveman his life might seem good. Between cavemen there will be better caveman awarepaths and worse caveman awarepaths. A normal human caveman except through spite or compitition would not want other cavemen to needlessly suffer. They would know better experiences from worse experiences. According to awaretheory different types of awarepaths can be combined in many different ways. So a cave man perspective can be combined with a modern perspective to form a better judging awarepath of what actually is a good caveman awarepath that then can be created in an itofazpaducer.
Some Itoculturalrelativism principles:
1. A culture can be evaluated by the awarepaths that it produces.
2. Itofazpaducers can produce culture based awarepaths, awaresections, and awaremoments.
3. A culture has to be scientifically and technologically advanced enough to produce itofazpaducers that are beyond self reproducing reality based itobodies (human bodies).
4. Culturalrelativism is basically that all cultures are equally good, but not all cultures can produce as many or varied cultural awarepaths.
5. Not all cultures have the same number or degree of enjoyable awarepaths or awaresections.
6. To make the most of all cultures and the awarepaths produced by them, some cultures are better than others at doing this.
7. Each culture has positive and negative aspects for different individuals and for different conscious beings so a culture can be viewed as negative or positive for an individual or a grouping of conscious beings.
8. If as awaretheory predicts the same ixperiencitness can contain many different cultural awarepaths ( many cultural awarepaths can have the same ixperiencitness), there are very personal reasons that some cultures are better than others to deliberately pursue.
