—“British culture(vs Islamic) is 80% based on Greco-Roman values, about 20% on Abrahamic values (variations on Judeo-Christian-Islamic). Look at mainstream British movies, money-making, cosmopolitanism, open debate discourse, science, technology, individual choice in romance, etc.”– Stephen R. C. Hicks ( @SRCHicks )

I’ll add to that list:
– Self Determination, Individual Sovereignty, Rule of Law, The Natural Law (Reciprocity), The Common Law, and Concurrent Voting – all are empirical.
– Truth Before Face. (Asia uses Face Before Truth, MENA uses Facelessness (endemic lying))
– History (vs Mythicism)
– Trifuncationalism (vs Religious Monopoly)

If you understand evolution at all, you’ll recognize why Europeans, despite small numbers on the edge of the bronze age, evolved faster than all the rest – and why Islam after consolidation and turn to fundamentalism not only regressed but could not, and still cannot, suffer modernity because of the high trust required to organize people into governments, viable militaries, and capital into large scale organizations.
