Respectfully, you are incorrect, Richard. Science is the product of Western man

Respectfully, you are incorrect, Richard.
Science is the product of Western man because it evolved exclusively from the application of our law, which formed on the steppe.
(Yes, really)
Combine metalworking with Steppe economics and politics and then convert it to settled agrarianism, and we get unique Western thought: empirical.
Because that’s all that’s possible when your law prohibits authority (among the men who fight) thereby requiring a means of decidability.
So any civilization may adopt any technology. But the intersection of civilizational differences in thought (premise, bias, logic) is difficult to overcome, and we still see it in the world differences in publication quality without indoctrination into scientific thought.
Why?
Science consists of the production of testimony. And Only Europeans – at least until the marxist to woke sequence – practice truth before face.
And that is a very rare legalistic behavior for a general population.
And it’s under assault in the West.
-Cheers.
