—“[a roman general said european barbarians were …]– Some Poor Fool That Studied Critical Theory (Jewish Pseudoscientific Theology)

And …. you’re forgetting that the same roman general, the greek equivalent, the thousands of european chieftains and warriors that proceeded them were all europeans practicing indo european languages, european religions, and the group evolutionary strategy of european peoples.

I am quite sure I have read more than you have, and that i’ve read more science economics and law than you have. When you read literature it’s the slow version of thought, history a bit faster, economics, law a bit faster, science a bit faster, and mathematics the fastest. The paradigm (grammar) that you read tells us everything about your abilities and susceptibility to error. Error increases rapidly as we depart from economics, and if you read opinion you’re just reading fiction. And you read ‘fiction’. 😉 I read fact.

And, well, you know, you are making a number of rather sophomoric errors here:

(a) all peoples develop similar norms given their states of development – because a primitive people practice cannibalism doesn’t tell us much other than their state of development.

(b) all peoples develop some grammar of arguing and persisting their group strategy in their environment, and strangely enough this strategy doesn’t change much over the centuries.

(c) That grammar (logic) varies from european science, to chinese wisdom, to hindu myth, to greek (platonic) idealism, to abrahamic critique and deceit by supernaturalism pseudoscience and sophism , to african magic.

(d) that strategy varies from european productivity, to chinese harmony, to hindu castes, to semitic parasitism, to gypsy petty parasitism, to the endemic interpredation of een more primitive peoples.

(e) the consequence of those strategies and grammars results in vast differences in consequences.

(f) europeans have practiced soverignty, testimony, jury, law, and materialism (because of metallugy) of some sort since the beginning of the Indo European expansion.

(g) hindsight is a sophism. moral equivalency across time is a sophism and a deceit. Islam christianity and judaism are a cancer on this earth.

So, those very basic roots a civilization lays grow trees then forests of dependent ideas behaviors and results.

Every civlization has erred. West african civilization was just about to enter it’s consolidation phase and the european age of sail had the same effect on west africa as it did on spain and portugal: it created a misallocation of capital by making greater profit from slave trading by africans than by empire construction; greater profit from slave trading and gold import, and conquest by spanish and portugese that was directed to wars of conquest rather than national improvement. And the british lucked out because their focus on commercial development, trade, and colonization instead of slave trading and gold importing, had longer institutional and civilizational consequences – even if, the small percentage of slaves in the USA led to our civil war, our near civil war in the 1960s and the civil war we will likely have shortly.

You see what happens when you study science, economics and law instead of literature? You discover that the group strategy of a people, the language and wisdom literature of a people that they persist that strategy with, and the organization of the people by military, commercial, theological, or ‘corruption’ determine everything that happens to them – and everything they do – becaues people do what they can in the circumstances with the knowledge that they have.

And by and large european and east asian civilizations practiced better group strategies, better wisdom literatures, and better EUGENICS than did the people who cannot keep up with them.

The rest is just ‘noise’ as knowledge and trade work their way through populations and spread across land masses and seas.

I am very, very good at what I do. And while we all make mistakes I very rarely make errors.

You will find very few public intellectuals like me who grant access to ordinary people.

Use it wisely and learn something.
