It is fairly common to struggle to understand why different cultures think the way they do.

Ugh.

Edit: Parent changed their comment significantly, from something quite unpleasant to what it is now. I'm not deleting my comment as I'm not that kind of person.

I did. I initially said that Europeans often struggle to understand other cultures too. Which was an immature way to point out that the cultural dissonance works both ways. I realized that I was obfuscating my point and rewrote my comment to be clearer, but now that you gave me a chance to think on it some more, I wish I would have said what I wanted to say more directly still.

What I wanted to say is: I like EU's regulation and I find it interesting how other people have different world views.

I live in Europe.

Cool, which regulations exactly stopped you from doing cutting edge AI?

Décret sur la Pause Goûter Universelle (PGU).

Is that the regulation that says you need to allow someone to take a 20 minute break after 6 hours of work?

regulation-culture breed a certain type of risk-taking culture. So, you can't blame a specific regulation for lack of innovation culture

Im not sure about that, Europe has plenty of starups. Also, IIRC it has larger number of small businesses than US as in US huge companies employ huge numbers of people.

What Europe does not have is scale ups in tech. The tech consolidated in US. By tech I mean internet based companies. Remove those and EU has higher productivity.
