I’m simply acknowledging the evolution of polities and cultures in truth, responsibility, and agency. The high point of western civilization was either england pre-war or the USA, with germany cut off from achieving her potential. And I acknowledge the far greater challenge of that evolution on the continent vs on the seas. We know the rate at which these capacities spread. From west to east. Just as we know how the steppe influence spread from east to west.

Not sure what ‘being a man’ means in your statement. And it could be that I take the scope of responsibility and agency as the measure. But even if I do, that’s probably correct.
