The Secret of European Civilization is our common, Natural Law of tort under individual sovereignty, reciprocity, contract, warranty, testimony (truth regardless of face), before judge and jury of our peers, creating no option for survival other than competition in markets in all walks of life: association, cooperation, production, reproduction, commons, polities, and war, at the cost of limiting reproduction of the underclasses such that surpluses can be directed to the production of high cost, and high return, normative, cultural, institutional, and physical commons. This is the optimum strategy for defeat of Nature’s Red Queen, Group Competition, and achieves the most rapid transcendence of man, maintaining the optimum condition of man, by institutionalizing the development of agency: human capital. And no other people has, or demonstrably can, or even desires, to do it.
