(Greece and rome built western civilization, and the rest was germania in general (holy roman empire) and england in particular (the modern rule of law state).)

It’s neither false nor retarded.
There is no reason we didn’t hit the industrial revolution well before the year 1000, and we didn’t recover from the christian destruction of the ancient world until the time of napoleon.
I’m not hostile to the church. But the truth is what it is. The faith did in the ancient world what marxism did in the modern world, and for the same reason and by the same methods.

That’s false. Before christianity was imagined we had conquered the despotisms of the middle east. It was our foolish tolernance of an effeminate superstition that prevented our recovery from invasion and plague. Christianity resulted in the dark ages of ignorance and superstition that only a reserve of northern germanic peoples were able to overcome, restore greco roman reason and empiricsm, birth science, and conquer the world.

Sr Fellow Luke Weinhagen on the West:
–“The West is a responsibility engine confused as a freedom engine. It’s an understandable confusion, as responsibility spread a widely as possible across a population facilitates the greatest freedom for that population. But the existence of this confusion enables all manner of exploitation. It’s tragic.”–
@LukeWeinhagen
Brilliant. True.

I would think that a small homogeneous northern european population, with existing traditions and institutions would sort so thoroughly that social mobility was limited simply because there was so little resistance to it in the first place

The age of art you recall destroyed the age of art I recall as the VP of the world’s largest supplier of commercial art supplies. And I recall it clearly.
The day I saw early desktop publishing and typesetting I told the CEO to sell the company immediately. I left and bought an office supply company and computerized it. His 230-odd location company shrank to five stores barely surviving. But millions who were not skilled or talented enough to produce art by hand were able to vastly scale in numbers by producing so called art digitally.
At present vast numbers who could not and were not skilled enough to produce digital equivalents of art are creating the post-hollywood industry. Just when that industry is dying of economic and conceptual exhaustion.
At present gaming is trying to figure out how to add AI to games further competing in the attention economy.
It takes time, but it just means we all have multiple careers.

Modern sense as a science of cooperation, but whether the enlighenment, the scholastics, aquinas, or Aristotle much of it is consistent and difers only in attribution of causality.

It sounds good until you realize that it’s a short term possibility like spending down your inheritance, but it’s committing civilizational suicide.
