WILL THE ENGLISH, THE UK, CONTINUE TO DRAG MANKIND KICKING AND SCREAMING INTO THE FUTURE?

Nigel (all);

We all, everyone, need broader knowledge of why the English invented the modern rule-of-law state, dependent upon (a)the natural law of cooperation, (b)the empirical process of discovery of the common law (“commonality”), (c) a constitution of processes and procedures under that rule of law (organization of cooperation), (d) a monarchy as judge of last resort given the perpetual regularity of the failure of republican political processes to fall to fashions and follies of the moment, (e) a cabinet of professional ministers serving at the pleasure the monarchy, houses of parliament reflecting the regions and classes (“concurrency”), and (f) the preservation of self determination by self determined means by reciprocal insurance of individual sovreighty in demonstrated interests (g) by the requirement for reciprocity in display word and deed, (h) limiting us all to adversarial markets for cooperation (markets), and resolution of conflict (courts).

Mother England gave us revolutionary sequence of the rational, empirical, agrarian, commercial, financial, scientific, industrial, and technological revolutions in rapid sequence that dragged mankind kicking and screaming out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering, child mortality, early death, and victimization by everything from tyrants to the vicissitudes of an nature uncaring nature that has nearly exterminated us with regularity, and the irradiated hostile wasteland of the galaxy and our universe itself.

Mother England, our traditional law, our parliaments and our monarchy, ableit for the mistake of making parliament sovereign rather than the people uderr the. natura law, in a written constitution, is the optimum possible political order for human beings – and as close to a science of coperation for our varied and fragile human minds and characters as is humanly possible.

In this perfect government, the role of government is to act far more as a venture capitalist measuring returns in the population than a priesthood that in suppression of inequality produces stagnation, decay, decline, and dysgenia as we have seen elsewhere the world over.

The question is, can any body of people other than the anglosphere, or perhaps the broader germanosphere we are descendents of, accomplish this government of continuous development given the requirement of combining respect for the law, self determination, truth before face, duty to the commons before the self, the high trust that results, and the intergenerational institutions, traditions, norms, and habits required for its persistence? It’s only the british who can decide.

Or will England, the UK, the Anglosphere, the Germanic Europeans, the mass of other Europeans, and broader mankind that we have arisen albiet inoptimally at times, suffer, even so horrific as another dark age, because the English lost their invention of moral modernity as readily as the Romans lost concrete, arts, and letters, and their very existence?

Choose wisely please.
Everything good in this world depends on that leadership.
