Silver,
Nope no one said anything about sacrifice. It was said they would share and understand each other. EDI says they will recover the greatness lost and surpass it. I can share and understand you without sacrificing my culture. Again, all you are doing is jumping to conclusions that the game never states. The Reapers are flat out said to share the knowlege of previous cultures. A photo shows Geth and Quarians talking. What a crime, lol.
And nope you don't have to believe anything. I am telling you why I believe the Catalyst. You are free to form your own conclusions so again, you guys just make up sh*t I never said. Once again, you are free to believe what you want. Just don't try to act like the game says it 100% based on photos of two groups talking. That's just silly.
P.S. My cousin is color blind. I am not not. We both have the same culture having grown up in the same environment.
AGAIN, you ignore what I posted. Hyper-jumping them to that point skips past all the natural aclimitization and evolution their cultures could use. It takes generations to reconize the changes and
accept them. Once again, you have confused "understand" with accept. Understanding each-other is NOT assurance of eternal peace or cooperation. Trying to hop-scotch that many steps ahead is practally begging to mistep and fall flat on your rear. end. And AGAIN, I feel compelled to remind you that EDI isn't infalible, if the incident with the Reaper IFF is any indacation.
And I AGAIN, remind you that this was NOT the case for the drell, who had to basically sacrifice their culture when they became a client race of the Hanar. Thane tells you that most of drell culture has vanished, since few still follow the old drell parthanon of Gods. Instead of getting a new world, they sacrificed their identity to become the shadows of the Hanar.
And AGAIN, "sharing" can be either volintary, or
forced. "You're
going to learn, weather you like it or not," basically. After all, the Catalyst is still alive in this, and still driving the galaxy to his vision of perfection. As are the Leviathans. Once again, you
FAILED to present anything that diffinitively disproved my assertation. When you DO have something that proves your point, come and talk to me.
And based on how you constantly try to call everyone a headcannon user, forgive me if I call BS on that. You keep trying to tell everyone that they are wrong, even though you never have any proof to back it up.
And in regards to your brother, he doesn't see in ultraviloet. You COMPELETELY missed the point. The point is that you would not be able to comprehend an entire SEPERATE culture based on seeing different light spectrums. If your borther saw in UV, and was part of a culture that was BASED on how you see in UV, THEN it would be relevent. As it is, your brother being color-blind is
completely irrlevent, since he and you were part of the same culture since birth, and born into the culture your family was part of for generations. So NO, not the same at all.
And look how culture HAS been affected by genetics in the Mass Effect universe itself.
Salarian culture was affected by their genetics, because of their breeding policies and their short emotional states.
Korgan culture was affected by their genetics, based on how only those that had the most evoloved genes and survival instincts survived to carry on the krogan race.
The yahg developed as a dominating race because of their predatory roots, and their leadership system is based on the "leader of the pack" mentality because of their history as pack-hunters.
Vorcha culture (if you can call it that

) is based on their short life-spans, meaning that their culture is based on smal tribal groups and blood feuds.
Early asari culture was enamored with the unique parthonogenisis form of reproduction they had, as well as how those with rare
genetic conditions, like the vampiric Ardat-Yahshi, were worshiped.
Say what you want, but Genetics DOES play a part in culture, and can be impossible for others to pick up without that genetic memory providing the mindset. The fact that Shepard needed a Prothean Cipher - a blueprint of the
GENETIC ancestoral memeory natural to a prothean - to understand the visions provoded by the Beacons, is PROOF that genetics DO indeed play a large part in culture and understanding it.
