That's a huge generalization for something that differs so heavily even within countries. Cities vs rural, east vs west, catholic vs protestant... Compare Poland and the Czech Republic, both V4 countries, neighbors, former Eastern Bloc

Pythagorean Theorem is "digging hard" and "not interesting"? Mind explaining? The language that contains all Turing Machines that halt on all inputs is not decidable. Or e^(iy) = sin(y) + i * cos(y) Are those uninterest
