(Worth repeating)
The Enlightenment:
———————-
The Anglo-Empirical.
The Counter-Empirical:
————————–
The German-rational.
The Cosmopolitan-pseudoscientific
The French pseudo rational.
Each tried to perpetuate its cultural strategy.
The Anglo island universalism of seafarers.
The German particularism of landed walled fortress of armies.
The Jewish un-landed separatists.
Burke took England into universal export of anti ignorance.
The Germans reinforced their walls both intellectual and organisational.
The Jews manufactured sold their pseudoscience as an alternative to empirical science to a population hungry for products that bridged the old and new.
The French tried tyranny then slowly retreated behind isolationist walls where the could preserve their illusion.
Unlike the majority of reactionaries I give much more weight to institutional reproduction of behaviour than genetic. I don’t discount genetic. It’s too obvious. It’s that I think institutions are actionable and genetics are not.
