Culture, REligion, aesthetics, dress, manners, morals, norms, traditions, values

Culture, REligion, aesthetics, dress, manners, morals, norms, traditions, values are COMPETING group strategies. They are not ‘equal’. Europeans are just ‘first’ in discovering the highest cost but highest return. If you reject and are separate that’s multiple polities not one.

I’m saying Peter is right at local scale, and that I’m saying the same thing at global scale. Modernity exploded out of england-netherlands and like agrarianism, organized religion, or bronze. It’s spreading across the world at higher velocity.
We resist adaptation at all times.

Religion and culture are not inherent characteristics. They are learned. If they can be learned they can be learned differently. Sex, Race, and Class cannot be modified. But we can all seek to imitate middle class (high trust) manners, morals, dress if we wish to.

So, anything that can be changed can be (must be) discriminated against, if it varies from the high-trust norms, traditions, values, laws, institutions, of european peoples – otherwise it’s destructive to those norms (as we have seen over the past seventy yrs of this experiment)

Yes, it is because normative behavior is capital. Now, your culture is extremely hostile to the degree of responsibility and duty that made western civilization possible, and you’ve undermined it (as you’re doing now), at every opportunity as women have. Why is that? We know. 😉

Note that Fukuyama does not necessarily answer the question of high trust with natural law and rule of law by the natural law, but with the evolution of institutional frameworks and resulting incentives. Both are true. Variation from NL determines the limit of trust and velocity.

So 1.Religions and empires create “common weights and measures” and 2.federations reap the benefits of resulting cooperation.

Commensurability reduces frictions that produce velocities. What’s perfect commensurability? Reciprocity.
It’s just evolution at civilizational scales. https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1600132327257956352

We are seeing the final conversion of low-trust agrarian empires to high-trust industrial federations.
