Well, most historians blame it on the Warring States period. Just like we blame vulnerability to Marxist-Pomo-pc/woke on the world wars, and the western attempt at global govt on our world wars. Add rice farming, and fewer competitors and that probably enough.

The Chinese have never had respect for human life, the human form, or the human experience – only harmony of the collective at any cost. No matter what govt, it will be authoritarian.

It appears that method of food production determines method of warfare. Method of warfare determines who and how society is organized. First institution appears to be the relationship between who organizes and the ‘peasantry’. So geography, military, homogeneity vs Heterogeneity.

nope. The recent publication was only confirming that it was the organization more so than the size of specific regions.

The answer is obvious. Separate, Prosper, Speciate, and leave them all behind.

It was founded as an anglo, German, rule of law, nation, in the tradition of the 1000+ years of the Holy Roman Empire.

THE ORIGINS OF THE FATE OF CIVILIZATIONS (really)
(If you liked my explanation of western civ, here is a comparison of the origins of civilizations and their institutions and why it was and is deterministic.)

Coercion (Organization): There are only three means of human coercion:
1. Political: Force/Defense, 2. Remunerative: Bribe-Trade/Boycott-Deprivation, 3. Social: Insurance(Inclusion)/Ostracization(Canceling)Institutions(Scale): All civilizations develop those institutions in one order or another:
1. Europe (Oligarchy and Law): Militia -> Empirical Law -> State -> (Philosophy, but Fail at underclass religion) 2. China (State and Bureaucracy): Military(State) -> Philospophy(Religion) -> Fail At Empirical Law – Stagnation 4. India: (Caste and Culture) Military -> Informal Religion -> Fail At State Formation -> Fail at Empirical Law (Stagnation) 3. Middle East: (Tribes and Formal Religion) Religion -> Military(State) ->Fail at Law – Tribalism (Regression) (African empire formation and American continental empire formations were truncated – they were behind. )
And each civilization naturally produced excellence in its original or core institutions. The problem is the long-term consequences of those foundational institutions are extremely different. Because the rate of evolution depends on the rate of experimentation, and the possibility of retention of improvements because of the possibility of eliminating regression to the mean – continuing natural selection). You can reduce the difference in group evolutionary strategies, and choice of their first institution, between civilizations to their use of the underclasses:
4. Exploitation(middle east) – reversing natural selection 3. Limiting their Damage(India) – castes for natural selection 2. Reducing their Number(China) – bureaucracy for natural selection 1. Or sifting them via merit, limiting the reproduction of the rest (Europe). – markets for natural selection So, yes. Ouch: That one hurt a bit. Because it’s so simple. Peasant “Domesticated Human Animal” treatment drives demand for institutions. You would naturally get bias to each culture’s institutions, by that choice alone. This means civilizational differences originate in how the military (ruling classes) demarcated ‘humans’ and other domesticated animals:
1. Law (Europe @100): Rational: Empiricism, Science, Law: Europeans (market) achieved it from a position of middle neoteny. 2. State (China @105 ): Reasonable: Wisdom and State: Chinese (bureaucracy) achieved it from a position of greater neoteny. 3. Culture(India @100/85), Allegorical: Myth and Culture (unorganized religion). The Indians used a caste system because of the sheer number of the underclass – which is why the Indian upper class has such startling IQ numbers despite national averages. 4. Religion (middle east @85 ): Fictional: Falsehood and Religion (organized religion). The middle east – from a position of lower neoteny – particularly Islam – went the opposite direction, of lionizing and creating a religious monopoly for the underclasses – that they can’t escape.
5. ( ?? ) Africa (@75) Delayed formation because of west African geographic isolation. And in the face of lowest neoteny 6. ( ?? ) Americas (@85) Delayed formation because of geographic isolation. And (Get ready for another ouch) This appears to have been necessary given the homogeneity or heterogeneity of the regional populations, and the degree of evolutionary neoteny (we call IQ and aggression of the populations). Ergo, we the institutions evolved that needed to evolve for the degree of evolution of the regional population AND its means of production AND means of warfare.

@Rhodok of course. Yarvin has correct a diagnosis (cathedral), written as jewish critique (which is why its fun), but he doesn’t address the cause (jewish war against western civlization for the second time), and he doesn’t have a restorative solution – he recommends a jewish solution – becuase he’s cognitively jewish.
I just do the science. I’ve done it. I know what made us hyper competitive. I know how to restore it, govern it, and continue it. The romans pretty much mastered the need for sliding government: fascism in war, oligarchy in peace, democracy in windfalls, and ‘buying into the franchise by defending it”. The Romans over extended because of the low productivity of ancient agrarianism, and egypt could ‘feed the world’ at that time. They didn’t account for the vast differences in the east – nor the vastly lower intelligence, lower trust, petty tribalism, and superstition of those people. So the ratio of ethnically european (roman)people to the conquered was too thin, and they had to rely on foreigners of alien cultures, and they didn’t have the population sufficient to even administer the territories they’d conquered. And having killed off the celts in the celtic holocaust, the opened the door for the less domesticated germans from the north, at the same time as the huns from the east. Instead if they’d stayed european, they were on the verge of the industrial revolution, and we’d still be romans today.
