Can these models be saved if we change their shape from a triangle to a circle, or are they so hopelessly flawed by eugenics and hero’s-journey myths that they need to be abandoned completely? That would mean eradicating somebody’s culture, though, and I’m not too keen on ethnocide as a solution for anything. When I see people trying to decolonise their developmental models without eradicating their cultural inheritance completely, I can’t help but have sympathy for their cause, although it may trouble me for reasons I am unable to express coherently.
