THE VERY VERY GOOD

Their religion if you want to call it that is wonderful. Partly because it’s not really a religion but like buddhism more a way of life. It’s what I wish we had for europeans – our natural religion.

THE VERY GOOD

They have the no-hostility thing down.

They have non-aggression down.

They have presumption of kindness down.

They have pretty good impulse control

THE PROBLEM IS NOT AN UNSOLVABLE

It’s the honesty-responsibility thing.

They have approval before truth (non-offense)

They don’t take any responsibility for commons

So look at the kind of crime they have and it tells you what kind of culture they have.

Pervasive familism – even in indian mafias

Pervasive corruption

Telephone scams.

Indirect crimes

Petty crime

Robbery

Less violent crime.

They have the usual organized crime problem too, and they do have organized crime that escalates into terrorism.

I would rather fix the problem of india than the middle east.

The problem is that the country is an empire or civilization and it’s too big to centrally govern.
