Far more people are mentally ill than is obvious from daily discourse. The principle reason is that they are vastly under socialized and their less than able minds are not constrained by continuous training under pressure of peers. Americans are de facto crazy, where other peoples are de facto escapist, religious, or superstitious. This is because we have attributed to and demanded from ordinary people the agency of the middle, upper middle and upper classes. And the fact is that the reason people are in the middle and upper classes is precisely because they possess agency that others do not.

The Dirty Secret of Western Civilization
The dirty secret of western civilization is that while we invented Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Natural Law,and Market Politics that gave us reason and science, we started out as cattle raiders, pirates, and conquerors, and all the ‘goods’ that we gave the world were an accidental byproduct of the only means of governing voluntary organizations of warriors, raiders, pirates, and conquerors: entrepreneurs.

International Justice Systems…
So let me get this straight: you get beaten to near death with sticks for stealing in india, and completely to death boards and bats in Brazil, and the africans one up the rest of the world by lighting them on fire? And the chinese rip close off adulterers,while the rest of south america does a mag dump on you for screwing their daughters? The arab world just makes up random excuses to line people up and shoot them in the head – for entertainment purposes – and then compensates for it by accidentally shooting people in the head at wedding celebrations? (i dig the whole light em on fire thing. Wow.) That’s what I’m learning about international justice systems…

I … I don’t know what ‘equality’ means. No human group circumvents interpersonal status. Westerners are just very good at paying cost of ‘loss of face’ as an act of social good. I suspect you do not grasp what I refer to. There is much equality in chinese culture in many ways.

The united states was (and is not any longer) a great experiment that was ended
The united states was (and is not any longer) a great experiment that was ended in the 1960’s because of vast underclass immigration. Most of the ‘good’ was from german and dutch immigrants. I admire the swiss and japanese. The rest are all ‘less’. I dislike chinese dishonesty.

@Superhero_sky I prefer Corporate government in the Chinese (or German) model, insular strategy in the Han model, but northern european ethics, legal system, value of human life, arts – particularly our speaking the truth regardless of impact on the status hierarchy – and Slavic family culture.
