What are “European values”? I was born in Europe, been here all my life, and I don’t think such thing exists - values that are shared among all Europeans AND that set us apart from other regions.

Europeans are much, much more culturally segregated than people from outside Europe seem to think.

You don't see it, like the fish who does not see the water.

Very philosophical and completely empty. (Like almost everything in philosophy)

It just means that those values are easier to see when you live in or at least travel to other places and compare.

It's not empty. It often happens that you don't notice things that you've seen all your life. It's only when you go somewhere that you notice the difference.
