The reason prior gen. lacked solutions, was that the truth is hard to face: West’s rapid progress largely result of eugenics.

Governance by ideology is an admission of empirical and institutional failure. See the Chinese and Muslims. Both Stagnated.

Every civilization’s core state tries ideology of one kind or another. But all expansion occurs under empirical governance.

(more ammo for you: the half life of resource-restricted offspring is shorter than the half-life of the tribe.)

https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-key-differences-in-business-culture-between-Western-and-Eastern/answer/Curt-Doolittle?share=fa2e63d0EASTERN PHILOSOPHICAL BASIS
Sinic (Eastern) :
Basis of Sinic philosophy is Sun Tzu: Deception and delay until opportunity to defeat. We are strongest when we have total control, and cannot be victimized by the other, and no longer need to compromise.
Falsehood is expected.
Preserve Face, avoiding offense.
Information Hiding, is expected.
Self benefit rather than symmetric benefit is not only expected but desirable.
Decisions are made outside the room by those in authority.
Agreements are temporarily useful for the moment, but open to revision and circumstance at all times.
Differences are to be hidden until they can be used to produce asymmetric benefits.
Disagreements are to be used as opportunities for asymmetric benefits.
Corruption is expected and even ‘understood’.
Asymmetric benefit is expected and ‘understood’
Non Performance is expected, and ‘understood’.
Changing the terms of the agreement is expected and ‘understood’.
WESTERN PHILOSOPHICAL BASIS
Germanic (Western):
Basis of western philosophy is Aristotle: Truth, transparency, and cooperation leading to mutual benefit – we are strongest when we cooperate together, and we preserve our cooperation through constant compromise.
Truth, even if unpleasant.
Directness, even if offensive.
Information transparency, even if disadvantageous.
Objective is mutual benefit – and non parasitism, developing long term trust.
Decisions are made in the room between the negotiators.
Agreements are binding contracts not subject to revision or circumstance, even if risky.
Resolve differences quickly, and move on.
Disagreements must result in mutually beneficial compromise.
Corruption is inexcusable.
Asymmetric benefit is inexcusable.
Non performance is inexcusable.
Changing the terms of the agreement is inexcusable.

Australia and Canada both suffer from extraordinary privileges that they attribute to their own actions or own beliefs rather than the windfall produced by their ancestor’s conquest of primitive lands, using science, guns, germs, steel, accounting, and rule of law.
None of us take Australia or Canada any more seriously than we take the girl whose father pays for everything seriously. It’s nice that she gets to live that way but it has nothing to do with her or her judgements and everything to do with the aggressive use of dominance in business, industry, war and politics by her father and his father, and his before him.
It’s actually painful to listen to Australians, Canadians, and american Urbanites, (As well as many urban brits). All trust fund babies trying to signal their high mindedness because they have no achievements to point to of their own.

Gunpowder armed the lower classes, and toppled nobility.
Consumer capitalism armed the lower classes and outbred meritocracy.
Democracy armed the lower classes and destroyed the civilization.

THE INCENTIVES OF A CIVILIZATION
With the advent of the industrial revolution we converted from a moral political philosophy – of accumulation – to a commercial one – of consumption.
Instead of adding commercial consumption to moral accumulation, just as we failed to add a house of the commoners to the house of commercial producers, and the house of the territorial managers(lords), and the house of the territorial judge (kings).
We replaced moral full accounting with pseudo-empirical, pseudoscientific selective accounting.
We created excuses to justify our profits at the expense of the civilization, our ancestors, and all generations that follow.
