I wrote a post today on why no single system of government alone sufficed. Likewise, no wisdom literature on its own suffices.
The reasons are simple: precision, potential, adaptability, and rate of innovation and adaptation.
So in the hierarchy of wisdom literatures, and their underlying paradigms and logics, the rate of innvation and adaptation is determined by the precision potential and adaptability of that paradigm.
|Logical Paradigms|: Embodiment > Anthropomorphism > Mythology > Theology > Proto-philosophy > Rational Philosophy > Empiricism > Science > Operationalism. With each more precise and explanatory than the previous.
Conversely, the degree of neotenic evolution (IQ) of the population limits the precision and potential and adaptability they can tolerate and as such the paradigm and logic they can make use of.
So Africa has the lowest IQ and relies on disorganized magic. MENA has the next lowest IQ and relies on organized supernatural mythology (theology). India has the next lowest IQ and developed class based religion mirroring the distribution of duty in a military order. China and Europe broke the 100 IQ barrier. So China developed Proto-philosophy and bureaucracy but failed at science and law. Europeans developed law and government, and from there, philosophy proper, geometry, empiricism, science, calculus, operationalism and computation.
There are only three means of coercing and therefore organizing people: 1) seduction/ostracization(social, religion), 2) remuneration/boycott (trade, property law), 3) defense/force (state, military).
And all civilizations demonstrate path dependence – the first is the most influential institution, the second less so and the third either fails or has the least influence.
But of these, religion is the least adaptive, state the next least adaptive, and property law the most adaptive.
So, the combination of (a) the IQ of the population (b) the founding institution (c) and the sequence of institutions determines the destiny of the civilization.
The indo european revolution was the most important since the agrarian revolution. It ended the primitvism and stagnation of the flood river valley civilizations.
The european people were largely replaced because of the small size and population of europe. The eastern indo europeans conquered the indus and India but had to create the cast system to preserve their genetic advantage. The persians were able to create victory and repeatedly expand but the ‘old’ civilizations had ‘lesser stock’ to work with, and already had a religion and institutions so the Indian method and the European method could not work.
So no. The Indo europeans, then the europeans alone, dragged mankind out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, child mortality, early death, tyranny, and victimization by nature that tries to exterminate mankind with disturbing regularity.
And you are ungrateful for the vast gifts we have given you.
That is why we are going home.
That is why, like before we will send you home.
That is why like the Chinese we will build a wall.
Because the Chinese are right.
You are a curse upon this earth.
A mental disease.
The source of ignorance, superstition, deceit, decline, and dysgenia.
If there is a devil.
His name is Allah, Jehova, God: cancer.

Cheers.
