1) India is fascinating because while the west IE’s chose ‘society as army, with class duties etc’ the East IE’s (hindus) took the concept to an extreme, without rotating ‘promotion’ of the classes. In retrospect, it’s obvious because the inequality was so great on one hand, and the ability to govern so vast a population and continent was impossible given the European method. I mean, the steppe people murdered before colonizing only the women.
2) I can’t suggest reading materials on Indian history, but if you ask @WhatifAltHist I’m sure he can narrow it down to a top three list for you, and his recommendations would be better than mine.
3) If you ask me a specific question RE Holland’s work I can probably answer it.
As a general rule, I’d argue he’s part of the tradition that’s now skeptical of all Abrahamic content from the transitional period at the end of the ancient world brought about by the plagues, wars, and Abrahamic destruction of the civilizations of the ancient world. His questioning of Muhammed I agree with just like I agree with the questioning of Jesus. MENA is a fictionalism based civ, particularly in Mythicism, and not philosophical, historical, or empirical. Making it up is to be taken for granted.
If you mean his rather obvious observation that the west is a Christian society that’s true. If you ask me it’s a trifunctional one, with the three traditions roughly reflecting personality and class values.
Like Holland I”d classify myself as an Anglican and a Burkeian, but there is no yet ‘clear’ distinction between Anglo thought in general as radically more empirical than al other civilizations and nations and traditions combined. We are aware of the anglo vs continental (german) tradition, but we do not (as I do) arrange all civilizational differences in intellectual bias as deviation from the laws of nature and by what means, and to preserve what ‘lie’ or ‘comfort’.
Truth is that metaphysical value judgments are WANT to survive innovations in the frame we use to describe the world. And other than anglos not too many if any in the world have done it. The question is only whether other civs CAN do it. And I think it’s because it’s a class disposition in the anglo elites, that was an odd side effect of the status competition in England during the high to late middle ages, and especially into modernity.
You could say I’m struggling to capture as science the uniquely scientific approach to the government of man created by the anglo aristocratic invention of the modern rule of law state, and their ‘correct’ assumption that they were the most virtuous rulers in history, even if only doing the best they could. And the USA’s founders were attempting more so to formally codify that as a majority cultural rather than aristocratic subcultural ideal.

It’s just because you don’t have the knowledge base. So it’s rational you’d take that position.
1) Agrarian revolution -> Steppe Revolution -> Bronze Age collapse -> Indo-european Revolution -> Semitic counter-revolution.
2) Italian-anglo restoration of europeanism > anglo invention of the modern rule of law state, industry, trade, federations (replacing agrarian empires territory) > french counter-revolution > German counter-revolution > Jewish counter-revolution(mendolsohn, then the Marxist sequence) > Islamist counter-revolution > Western Trade/Federalism Exhaustion > Imperial Reassertion (Iran, China, Russia and those countries that failed the transformation)
3) All human differences originate in sex differences, from empathizing(prey)-systematizing(predator), to the four personality clusters, to the moral bias clusters, and especially the IQ vs Neoteny distribution, and you see a rather obvious means of explaining all human behavior. We are all some admixture of sex differences, and the population shows a pretty normal distribution of abut 1/3, 1/3, and 1/3 sex bias in perception, cognition, valuation, want, advocacy, and negotiation. What’s difficult for most of us, is that while we acknowledge the spectrum of means of ‘calculating’ from math to recipes, to rigorous arguments, we are less willing to ‘science’ our methods of lying. And how the sex differences in anti-natural law behavior, anti-social behavior, are facilitated by sex differences in methods of lying.
4) All civilizational differences originate in agrarian founding institutions and their path-dependent sequence of development. There are only three means of human coercion (Religion/Verbal: seduction/ostracization, State/Force: Order/Defense, and Trade/Boycott: law/commerce. With Religion(strong) > State(weak) > Law(fail) the worst (MENA) and Law(strong) > State (weak) > Religion(fail) the best (Europe), and State(strong) > Law (weak) > Religion (fail) the compromise (China). Combine the institutional sequence, with the geography, means of production, your homogeneity or heterogeneity, number of competitors, the technological difference between you and the competitors, the relationship between your aristocracy (military) and peasantry(producers), and you get all human civilizations as relatively obvious survivors of what’s possible in geographic, racial, and ethnic circumstances.
Now I’ve done all that work and more. So where you see moral conflict I see a bunch of bots – barely conscious children really – running around with flashcards of lies taped to their heads – trying to get attention so that they obtain some sort of status so that they can find allies, to maybe, possibly, feel less alienated in modernity, and somehow change their condition.
So I see a very childish world. Why? Because while what I do (what our institute staff do) is basically a mathematics – a formal logic. Now it’s ordinal and operational math (like computation and actions) and not cardinal math (like statistics and language) but it’s till math. And it’s rational for all you normals out there with your emotions alienation and flashcards on your foreheads to think we’re like you.
We aren’t. It’s just math to us.
We don’t often like what we find either.
And we know how Darwin and Galileo were treated.
And we don’t expect any differently.
Because the entire postwar pseudoscientific war against western civilization’s ‘science’, is a war against the Darwinian explanation of all existence. Not just biology – but everything. Including everything we intuit, feel, think, say and do.
So no I don’t expect people to accept or like that the postwar intersection of Jewish thought, women in the workforce and politics, the television-cable-internet-social media revolution, hyperconsumption, debt capacity, and downregulation of education is just an expression of the lag institutional suppression of female antisocial behavior as it propagates through the civilization.
But it’s true. 🙁

MARX AND HUMAN NATURE.
Preamble: Technically speaking, I’m a genius by every known measure. But that doesn’t covey omniscience or omnicompetence. But it does mean I can entertain myself by slumming with you common folk, now and then. ;). With that out of the way, let’s get on with Mr. Marx.
MARX ON HUMAN NATURE
Marx just repeated Feuerbach, by claiming that human nature was predominantly socially constructed. Which like every other pseudoscientific fraud Marx attempted to impose on us, we know is false, since we understand the origin of human behavior as the sex differences, the genetics of class differences (lower class genetic load), the race differences (neoteny, and pre-neotenic genetic load), and that civilizational differences were the result of about eight or so local environmental influences, and social differences the result of economies possible under that strategy, at present levels of technology, and with present levels of trade.
ORIGINS OF INSTITUTIONAL DIFFERENCES
Unfortunately, the path dependence of institutional formation anchors on the first institution, so religion first, state first, contract (law) first, civilizations are stuck from their origins and slow, medium, and fast rates of adaptation, which explains the rates of development of different (primary) civilizations: Africa > MENA > India > China > Europe.
MARX’S DECEPTIONS
Marx’s strategy, and one of deception, was to create the pretense that society consists of interpersonal debts as do families, so that he could argue that members of a society are somehow obligated to one another, instead of a collection of families clans tribes, classes and sometimes nations, that cooperated for common interest despite that they had no obligations to one another as do families, because only relations do and only relations need to practice kin preference and kin selection.
This deception mirrors is his other deception: the labor theory of value instead of, as we understand, marginalism and subjective value. In fact labor has almost no value (as we have seen) since the value is almost entirely created by the organization of speculation, inputs, production, outputs, sale, distribution, and transaction.
If we go through Marx, we see consistency in the effort of trying to create parasitic relations out of voluntarily cooperative relations. There are cultural reasons for the difference between Jewish diasporic traditions, and European territorial traditions. Since we are unaware of these differences we assume they are natural to mankind rather than accidents of history that merely modify our relations despite human nature.

THE CAUSE AND CONSEQUENCE OF THE ANGLO POSTWAR MODEL OF CREATING A WORLD OF FREE TRADE
The United Nations > NATO > The Anglosphere > The USA > Responding to: The Threat [of the moment] to the Postwar Order to Prevent WWWIII.
That’s the hierarchy we used to prevent another set of world wars. World wars occur because without global free trade empires monopolize resources, trade routes, and colonies.
The Anglo postwar order sought and succeeded in building a Smithian moral order, where states were limited to their borders, human rights, economic modernization, and free trade, and were prevented from wars of aggression.
The greatest threat to the restoration of empires, was first communism, and second islamism. And now restored Russian Iranian and Chinese imperialism.
That’s the postwar strategy. We raised mankind out of poverty, starvation, disease, and war. But it didn’t stop everyone from wars of aggression. And it required ‘policing’ wars of RETALIATION for their aggression. You will find no case where that’s not true.
Now, Americans largely profited from this order. Though with the Rise of Chinese manufacturing, it’s hollowed out the working, lower middle, and middle classes. And it’s distorted our economy through excess financialization.
Now you can criticize that hollowing out, and Dear Mr Trump tried to fix that. But you can’t claim it’s not moral, or it’s aggression, or it’s been other than the greatest improvement in the condition of mankind in all of human history.
What we DID learn is that Islamic civilization can’t be saved because they created a political religion that states they’re the perfect will of a divine being. When in fact, it’s the most stagnant civilization with the worst possible religion that’s ever been created by man. And it spreads like cancer because of the lie that we can ignore reality, escape from it, and restore equality by producing ignorance and poverty.
So no. You’re trying to claim that the unseen cost of NOT doing what we’ve done is lower than the cost of what we’ve done with this strategy. Failing to recognize all the goods created by this strategy instead. And like the left, you’re claiming the equivalent of the space program could be better spent on subsidy of reproduction of those who simply increase the number of poor who are unfit for participation in post industrial, technological economies.
Maybe grow up a bit and learn something?
