No, not very much, for several reasons:
1. A proton is for me what it is for an ancient Aztec. Physics transcends culture. So does rationality and critical thinking. A particularly smart Aztec could have questioned the significance of human sacrifice, even though he was cultured within it. Etc.
2. All human societies have shared a number of universals that is not hard to find via google search.
3. Whatever a human's "conceptual scheme" is isn't particularly relevant, but rather somewhat superficial. Happiness is happiness (biologically) regardless of the "about" behind it. That's deep similarity.
er. yes.
but then objective things are viewed subjectively. again, basic human neurology...
you're also saying that:
- people don't hold different beliefs
- humans don't possess different physiological temperaments/dispositions
- humans don't see colours differently
- humans don't feel pain differently
- humans don't experience joy and other emotions uniquely
Seems you see things too literally. When I said (and presumably others in the world, though I can only ever speak for myself) that everything is subjective, it's part fact and part rhetoric. the fact is humans see and perceive things in unique ways, it doesn't mean there are no facts.
Nobody in his or her right mind, unless s/he could cite evidence of course, would say that Antarctica is a tropical continent. It's nowhere near the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, so of course cannot be by definition.
