Proposes a single cause.
Whereas neoteny creates potential.
Institutions are necessary to enforce it.

That’s the science. The summary of the first principles of civilizational differences. And it explains why conservatives are right and moral and why paternalism (adulting into responsibility) is necessary, and why maternalism (caring into infantilization) is a crime against humanity.
Liberals are the archetype of the sick mother who seeks validation by perpetually infantilizing her children so that she is constantly recieving approval and attention.
The most destructive force in civilization.

1) Western civilization’s disproportionate success in the bronze, iron, and steel ages, is due to the rate of discovery of the laws of the universe, including the formal(logical), physical, behavioral, and evolutionary, and our utilization of, adaptation to, and evolution in response to those discoveries. And we have nearly single handedly dragged mankind out of superstition, ignorance, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering, child mortality, early death, the vicissitudes of a nature hostile to our existence, and which has nearly exterminated us with disturbing regularity.
2) This rate of discovery, innovation, and adaptation is possible because of an accident of history, where our ancestors combined(Science, Techne) horse, cart, wheel, and bronze as steppe cattle raiders (Pirates, Vikings), and the entrepreneurial government between those raiders, as the only government possible between them: one that prohibited authority, preserving sovereignty, thus generating demand for contractualism, reciprocity, truth before face, duty before self, and excellence before adequacy, and directing dominance expression to the production of commons. (Self Determination, Sovereignty, Rule of Law, Legislature, Democracy, Meritocracy: Natural Aristocracy.) With a religion and cult universal heroism (Heroic, Militaristic, Hierarchical, Meritocratic, Technological, Expansionary, Sky Worshipping). This is the most rapidly evolutionary and adaptive social, political, economic order available to man. Today we call this “OODA” loop. In the past we called it Manuever. And infrequently, we call it ‘initiative’. And the cost of participation is “responsibility”.
3) There are only three possible means of human influence: social(inclusion-exclusion) in norm and religion, economic(trade-boycott) in weights and measures in contract law, and physical(force-defense) regulation legislation and command via the government or state. These three institutions will develop in an order and priority. All civilizations are anchored by their first institution, which is permanent, followed by a second weaker institution, followed by a third weakest or failed institution. As such civilizations adapt given the rate of adaptabiility of their primary institutions: religion slowly if at all (MENA, India), the State(government) faster but calcifying (Sinic), and the law of contract or competitive cooperation via markets the fastest possible (Europe).
4) But the physical, emotional, and psychological cost to the individual of these institutions, priority of these institutions, and rate of change permissible by these institutions varies by their adaptivity, and *individual responsibility*. With religion the lowest, the state next lowest, and the market the most burdensome. Why? Because the radius of religion is the self and family. The radius of responsibility under the state as dicated. The radius of responsibility under markets is ‘the maximum you are capable of’ because otherwise you are forcing costs upon others in the polity by the absence of your responsibility: equality of responsibility.
5) The ‘liberal’ project in its prewar christian form was merely duty of care for the unfit, in exchange for training the unfit into greater moral fitness (religions). But the postwar ‘liberal left, socialist, equalitarian program’ ‘sells’ personal irresponsibility, dependence, and infantilization, and promises freedom from the logical(postmodern), physical scarcity(marxist), behavioral(neoMarxist, Feminist, Woke), and Evolutionary Laws(Darwinian explanation for all of existence) to authoritarians.
6) Conservatives deny the equality of moral willingness, ability, and fitness for moral responsibility.

They are not neotenous. Khoisan are a very old people, ad perhaps the best example of the earliest peoples to leave africa. (iQ under african norms)
Pygmies like many isolated people adapted to their environment. (World’s lowest IQ)

Youve conflated two different factors:
1) High Context Low Precision Language (Chinese) vs Low Context High Precision Language (english).
2) High Trust vs Low Trust Culture.
Spectrum:
… Face Blindness (Africa)
… Facelessness (MENA)
… Face before Truth (Asia)
… Truth…

Q: EXPLAINING CIVILIZATIONS: EAST ASIA: SINIC
(reformatted)
East Asians had just about the ideal geography of climate, rivers, and coastline insulated by mountains deserts and uncrossable terrain. Both the chinese coast, and the european peninsula have the benefit of climate and trrade, but sufficient insulation from african, south eurasia, and less so from the steppe, to prevent the challenges of MENA Africa, Oceania, and the Americas.
They produced the deepest neotenic evolution of all the other population groups (races). Neoteny is the principle direction of all human evolution since it produces a delay and dept of maturity, permitting the longest period of development(adaptability), where such ‘domestication syndrome’ trades aggression and persistence for cooperation and patience (non-aggression) necessary for reducing the cost of trust formation. (and increases in intelligence, that are far larger than we assumed.)
They produced rice instead of wheat which supports higher populations, but requires 360 days of labor instead of seasonal wheat labor. The combination of rice production, the rigorous behavior of the population under that rigorous production, the surpluses it produced, the armies, bureaucracy, and state it could fund.
They succeeded in producing bureaucracy (authority) but not rule of law (decidability independent of authority). They converted from an empirical bureaucracy to a philosophical (secular clerical) one. (institutional failure)
They could not solve the problem of politics (for complex reasons) so confucius directed them to operate as an extended hierarchical family.
The produced philosophy instead of theology, but reasonablenss over logic, and agreement over truth for the purpose of agreement, and as such face before truth instead of truth before face. As such their language remained high context low precision, instead of high precision low context, when the more complext the civilization the more important high precision and low context, because the human brain uses langauge to organize increasingly abstract knowledge.
They chose harmony and confict evasion over conflict and dispute resolution. They chose order and certainty over liberty and uncertainty. They failed to produce a high trust culture (polity). They failed to produce a majority middle class because of it.
They failed to win the race of scientific, technological, commercial, financial, trade development against the west who solved the problem of politics – and activily discarded instead of allowing the ‘disruption’ of new technologies to spread.
The answer to the group differences in civilizational rates of evolution computation and adaptation and evolution is, like anna karinena’s families: many things must go right for a happy family or for an advanced civilization to evovlve (mature) from an agrarian to an industrial, and if any of those things goes wrong, especially in the distant past, then ‘you can’t get there’.
Trust matters.
The purpose of the left is to destroy trust.
If they destroy trust they can produce demand for authority – an authority they claim they will provide.
