>>11038480A major obstacle is language. White culture values "ornate" speech where minimal amount of information is stretched and filled with lot of ambiguity and fluff. Virtually any other culture values the opposite, so people have to re learn to speak the other wa round to get accepted in academia. That was a problem when translating the three body problem, which would sound almsot childish when translated word for word. (basically, most cultures put the burden on the speaker and perceive as elegant speech that is brief without sacrificing clarity, while western culture puts the burden on the listener to decipher language that is vague and often obscures what is really meant)
