—“How does western value fit in a non globalized world? Or do you think your answer lies in a new rendition of re-western globalization?”—Justin Fortune

The west ceases attempting to colonize other civilizations in the name of commerce (and democracy), prohibits its own colonization, and we continue the re-emergence of the balance of civilizations and balance of powers that has been the norm in all history aside from a few similar periods of rapid technological change.

I mean, that’s whats happening now. The west’s technological advantage is dissipating rapidly, and therefore its economic advantage, leaving only its institutional and demographic advantage.

Given that technological advantages are easily transferrable, institutional more difficult, and demographic and cultural advantages nearly impossible to replicate, then this is the only method of maintaining the western relative standard of living.
