Cultural cores (China, India, Arabia, Europe) spread ideas to neighbors, but geography—mountains, rivers, seas, climate—shapes how each region adapts them. Same roots, different customs. 🌏✨ #CulturalGeography #History #culture #religion

Not related to demographics, culture and linguistics but I need my followers opinion :
Do you think the IB program is better than IGCSE or CBSE ?
I am checking my options as my child is entering primary soon.
What are the pros and cons ?

High education ≠ progressive politics.
Singapore, South Korea and Japan have some of the world’s most educated populations, yet remain socially conservative and right-leaning.
The Guardian’s claim confuses a Western correlation with a universal rule #education

Conservatives have higher tfr than progressives. Interesting enough
Is there a correlation with religion ? I know a lot of people on the right wing side of the political scale being atheist
A nice graph i wanted to share with you. #conservative #religion #tfr #progressist

In Muslim-majority Indonesia (~87%), a quiet Hindu revival continues: Javanese restoring ancient temples, Dayak embracing Hindu Kaharingan roots, and even former imams converting after spiritual visions. A fascinating "return" to pre-Islamic heritage! #Hindu #indonesia #balik #bali

Projected the global religious landscape in 2030 that i tried to extrapolate (based on Pew Research Center models)
Christians: ~2.5–2.6 billion
Muslims: ~2.2 billion
Religiously unaffiliated ("nones"): Likely 2.0+ billion
May i ask @conradhackett.bsky.social and others for opinion on this ?
