Why did india produce the premier work of political science, and a religion that isn’t – and a wisdom literature in mythological prose? And what happened to them and why? Why did the Arab conquest lead to destruction of five great civilizations leaving ignorance and dysgenia?

@scprsp @razibkhan You want me to produce an argument of that scope in a tweet? Why do our laws, metaphysics, political, social, orders differ? Why does only the west practice truth before face? Why europa=geometry/science vs china=math/ wisdom(reason), vs semitia=algebra/astrology/theology?

@curtdoolittle @razibkhan Are you honestly going to make something that, if incorrect is the most racist thing imaginable, the most powerful othering in the entire range of possibility today and not back it up with anything?

Well, the hypothesis is going to hold up, of that I’m certain. Whether Europeans can preserve it, whether others can adopt it, whether we have another dark age (islam again), or whether current demographic reversal will have even worse effects, is a job for speculators, not me.

This is a stasis mindset, it might look like that at this point in human history, fast forward a 1000 years, how confident are you that this will remain to be so? https://t.co/nfockwvMs7

We have always been a planet of cops. Germanic speaking peoples most of all. And try kissing your wife in Turkey. I had to ‘discipline’ a Colombian family in a cafe today who thought phone and Facetime (loud) was appropriate in public.

No I just study the evolution of methods of argument, law, economics, and organization. Every civ laid its argumentative foundations with its group strategy during the age of transformation. Forensic genetics & language sure. Same for institutions. Rather obvious in retrospect.

We cannot find ONE OTHER CULTURE that can, growing up in european civilization, speak truth-before-face regardless of cost. Research scientific papers and look how many cultures can’t reduce analysis to realism and naturalism. (And it’s dying in our universities too.)

@razibkhan HOWEVER, it is looking very, very, very, unlikely that any people can do so without some form of market (or non- market) eugenics. So the problem we ‘get wrong’ is race rather than class. AFAIK, the bottom is six times as costly as the productivity made possible by the top.

Hypothesis: Only “white” people could invent sovereignty, reciprocity, testimonial truth (regardless of cost), realism, naturalism, reason, science, jury, markets-in-everything, market eugenics, and our subsequent rate of development. BUT any group *MAY* copy them if they can.

His audience is made up mainly of disenfranchised young men who have no luck with women or prospects and blame minorities for it. Unfortunately for the rest of us, there’s a lot of guys like that around—and they’re real easy marks for any self-declared thought leaders. https://t.co/tSW63DPQzs

The 20th Century Industrialization of Lying through social construction (Propaganda) is almost over. Boas, Marx, Freud, Cantor, Bohr, Adorno, Friedan, Derrida reintroduced the Abrahamic method of lying into western civilization by sophism and pseudoscience instead of theology.
