A BROADER CONTEXT TO THE POSTWAR STRATEGY
The broader context @PeterZeihan doesn’t quite summarize with enough clarity for average folk, is that the postwar era strategy is to end *empires* that privatized territory, trade and trade routes, and to replace it with nation states (the natural evolution of empires) with relatively free (market) trade.

So in evolutionary sense we went from imperial agrarian religious, to imperial industrial ideological, to our ‘ambition’ of federated empirical nation states in the hope that the Smithian vision would end the ‘age of empires’ and their endemic wars.

When we position the postwar program as just ‘against communism’ which evolved into “against islamism” this converts the framing of our understanding from (scientific) natural evolutionary progress of mankind to some pseudo-religious or philosophical context that is an arbitrary preference.

And in my work this is a common human cognitive failure – we are missing the evolutionary causality that reminds us that we are just another extension of the physical world operating and evolving by the same principles.

What my hero PeterZ and many others fail to emphasize sufficiently for my taste, is that different civilizations practice group evolutionary strategies that evolved during their first agrarian governments.

And the result is we are entrenched in civilizational projects that vary increasingly from the laws of nature, and as such, determine our rate of growth.

From the economic historian’s perspective, all other civilizations recovered from the bronze age collapse, developed their core strategies, and between 800bc and 800ad, completely exhausted the opportunity of agrarianism – and descended into stagnation.

Where the europeans, had they not fallen to overreach, christian sedition, and wars of migration and innovation, that we could quite easily have had the industrial revolution by 500-800ad, and saved humanity from a thousand years of muslim destruction of seven great civilizations of the ancient world, and the european dark ages, and all the suffering that both included.
