If you understand this single principle you will understand what separated the west from the rest: the sovereignty of individual men (warriors) in a kin group, who compete against others by the use of empirical truth regardless of its impact on the dominance hierarchy.

@sapinker Only bad mothers think their children have a right to their illusions – they do so as a means of reducing motherly costs of high investment parenting: Subjecting children to a continuous stream of challenges they overcome by the development of agency using will over intuition.

@sapinker When Judaism, Christianity, and Islam produced the Dark Age by the replacement of the Trial of Achilles the Agrarian Aristocrat with the trial of the Pastoralist Underclass Slave, they did so by false promises. The most obvious is Islam’s demand for respect without being earned.

The west survived the Abrahamic Dark Age by restoring that central property of ancient western indo european law: The Truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, regardless of its impact on the dominance (status) hierarchy. Status defense isn’t a virtue, IT’S A CRIME.

@sapinker I’ll repeat this in case it’s lost **The West developed faster than the rest in both ancient and modern worlds, because we speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, regardless of its impact on the dominance (status) hierarchy.** That is the Secret of the West.

@sapinker If one’s style and philosophy matter then it is not truth we espouse, but deception. If we can end the century of 1/2 truths with devastating externalities that would be better than to continue the course that is breeding civil war and the filling of power vacuums by other means.

Westerners for reasons that predate our written history, always and everywhere solve for the production of consent. The rest of the world does not. The rest of the world solves for production of compliance.

6) Arts, Poetry, literature, and Wisdom Lit, are only via positiva means of providing the mind opportunity within the bounds of truth and law. Wester civ has a philosophy: the common law of reciprocity under sovereignty. Wisdom lit is just our religious mythos. @jordanbpeterson

What Is A Term Or Phrase That Describes A Civilization That Is Open Minded About Philosophical And Metaphysical Concepts, Rarely Abuses Science For Political Or Industrial Goals, And Values Fine Craftsmanship More Than Marketing Or Celebrities?

“Wealthy Enough To Practice Folly”
That’s actually the answer.
I debated a famous communist painter back in the 80’s.
He was angry when I explained to him that every work of art he’d mentioned was the product of an expansionary empire that practiced slavery, serfdom, and suppression of local custom in order to increase general wealth by increasing the opportunity for commerce.

How Do Current British History Textbooks Portray The American Revolutionaries? Are They Considered To Be Rebels And Traitors To The Empire, Or As Enlightened Men Who Fought For A Just Cause Against An Unfair And Despotic Government?

The British wanted to (rightly) recover the high cost of defending the colonies – the recent war had nearly emptied the treasury – and the colonies didn’t want to pay for it. This process escalated to the point of civil (revolutionary) war. This was extremely foolish for both parties, as creating a house of the colonies would have allowed Britain to govern the entire world at lower profit margins, but suppress her ability to maximize current revenues. Our ancestors in the colonies had governed well on their own, and saw europeans as war-mongering greedy troublemakers. But the cost of maintaining the power to expand and manage the empire and drag mankind out of backwardness was expensive, and The Crown needed to feed the machine.
In other words, the americans (my ancestors and maybe yours) were wrong, and the british were just over confident that the peasantry could be that ungrateful.
