Cultural Incest
Noun. /ˈkəlCH(ə)rəl ˈinˌsest/ ]
- When culture reinforces its own ignorance. Cultural isolation and the resulting inbreeding of ideas and distrust of outsiders. The state of isolation often becomes austere and ultimately toxic to social outcomes.
Ex:After a few generations of cultural incest, the group’s relationship to truth is opaque to the point that pursuing it, as a means to lead them, is futile.
