The Zimbabwean cultural tone that my peers adopted toward each other was about celebrating a zany, off-kilter sense of reality in an unstable situation. Apart from this nuance, another is the lack of sub-text, such as using direct questions to imply nothing more than a need for knowledge. In the broader sphere of Western culture, asking questions can lead others to view one with deep suspicion, as if one had been making an insinuation or implicit moral critique. Most probably this narrower view of things in the industrialized West is because of the Judeo-Christian ideology having much more sway as well as having deeper historical foundations in the the West. In this video, I also address psychoanalysis as a theory of knowledge.
