    THE IMMORALITY OF THE WEST VS OUR INSTITUTIONS OF GOVERNMENT AND LAW
    –“Democracy isn’t defined by the West.”–President of Rwanda

    Well, that’s largely false. While…
    1. Science was invented and defined by the West
    2. Natural Law was invented and defined by the West
    3. Rule of Law was invented and defined by the West
    4. Commonality and Concurrency were invented and defined by the West.
    5. Republican government was invented and defined by the West.
    6. and Democracy was invented and defined by the West.

    BUT…
    Those are rules, procedures, and methods of producing the consent of the people, by legitimate governance, through the requirement for concurrency in legislation and voting, commonality in court resolution of disputes, including a market (court) for the prosecution of both the private sector and members of the government, thereby limiting the criminality of the private sector and the corruption of the public sector.

    BUT THAT’S JUST A UNIVERSAL ‘HOW’ – NOT A PARTICULAR PEOPLE’S WHAT!!!…
    The interest of different peoples in different geographies, with different resources, and different constraints, with different demographic compositions, and different stages of development, with different historical traditions, surrounded by different allies, competitors and enemies create different needs for different moral, ethical, and practical policies and laws to right past wrongs, solve past present and future problems, and bring security comfort and prosperity to the people.

    THE WEST IS ONLY POLITICALLY DEVELOPED – NOT MORAL IN POLICY BY ANY MEANS
    The West is going through an attempt by the postwar marxist-to-feminist-to-woke movement to undermine the civilization from within. The USA in particular, is at war internally and has been since the 1950s with the movement of postwar Marxists into the country, where they set out to use our racial conflict as a means of division. Then they converted to using women. Then to immigrants. They are trying to create the problems rampant in less developed countries in the west so that they can be ruled by corrupt, parasitic, privileged elites that the rest of the world so desperately wants to escape from.

    So, the world should ignore all american and European ‘values’ that are obviously immoral and harmful and instead focus on the Anglo invention of the technologies used by our institutions that have made the people wealthy and safe: rule of law by the natural law of individual sovereignty and universal demand for reciprocity.

    The USA had a mission at the end of the world wars: to end the age of empires and prevent another world war, by the use of US temporary industrial technological economic, institutional, and military superiority to create free trade, prohibit empires, promote nation states, limit governments to the improvement of the condition of their people (human rights), and prohibit the breaking of borders (aggressions).

    This strategy was imperfectly executed, of course. But the result was that mankind for the first time in human history was largely raised out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering, child mortality, and early death. And the truth is people still hate the west for our many flaws in doing it, rather than the miracle that we managed to do it at all.

    That said, and the macro level, Americans sought a moral ambition for the world.

    But, domestically? Americans watched TV and played video games while the enemy with in set about the destruction of our culture, our history, our schools, our universities, our institutions, our religion, and worst of all – our families and our morals.

    How moral is a civilization (anglo or European), any country in it, any people, so morally weak, decadent, and corrupt that they allow sedition and treason from within? Are Americans cowards? Lazy? Incompetent? Stupid? Ignorant? Foolishly optimistic?

    In everything: take the West’s technology.
    Government is a technology like any other.
    That’s all.

    DEFINITION?
    Aryan: (those who ride horses, those that are wealthy, those that rule, those that are nobles, nobility. In some cases such as turkic: ‘soldier’.)
    (a) the genetic spectrum referring to the indo europeans and the indo european languages, with higher concentrations of European in the West, and higher concentrations of iranic in the East, both with some Caucasian contribution.
    (b) the political, military, cultural, religious, and linguistic traditions of those indo European people as they spread west to Spain and east to the borders of China, and south into Persia, and east and south into India.
    (c) the values of those people that persist today as metaphysical biases in present populations as Aristocratic-egalitarian, heroic, militaristic, expansionist, hierarchical, technological, and trifunctional.
    (d) the culture and values of the pre-Christian people of Europe, such as the Spartans in particular, the Greeks more generally, the Romans at scale, and early Germans in mythology – in the western branch of Indo Europeans.
    (e) Or the remains of the eastern branch remaining India(some) and Iran (little),
    (f) with the primary difference being the empiricism of the Western branch and the mysticism of the Eastern branch, given that the Western branch was able to conquer and assimilate the low population density of Europe, maintaining rule of law, but not the higher population density of the northeast south Eurasians centered south of the Caspian ad Iran, or the vast territory and population density and diversity of the Indian subcontinent.
    (g) note that the 19th-century hypothesis of a conquering race (or at least sub-race) that was physically superior (larger) and technologically superior (horse, bronze, wheel), that killed all the men, and kept all the women, as they gradually exterminated and replaced the agrarian and hunter-gatherer Europeans, turned out to be roughly true. And that the formation of their culture in western Poland, northern Germany, Denmark, and southern Norway and Sweden has been genetically and archaeologically determined to be true. The southward migration of these people into the Mediterranean appears to be the source of the pressure creating the age of the sea peoples. (A set of historical information which I’m sure is frustrating to the anti-nazis, and encouraging to those who understood nazis were a counter-revolution against communists on one and and the liberals (France) that under Napoleon had destroyed most of Europe including the thousand hear holy roman empire of the german people that was the core of Europe and her ancestry – and nothing more. However, the apolitical problem of the nazis was the industrialization of their suppression of the ‘internal communists’, the socialization of it by propaganda, and the conversion of their ideology into a religion, and the resulting overreach of starting so wars on so many fronts. Historically this is just the conversion of the state into total war but a reflection of how the French first and the communists second had weaponized all capital in the state for total war.) lol

    History is obvious once you have enough data. πŸ˜‰

    If you’re not intelligent enough to understand this with the explanatory spirit intended you have no capacity or right to public utterance – so save it for someone who assumes you’re not an NPC bot. ;).

    I hope this was helpful to someone. Otherwise, the past ten minutes are time I won’t get back. πŸ˜‰

    THE WHEN AND WHY OF CIVILIZATIONAL DIFFERENCES IN WAR FREQUENCY

    —“I studied European history. It is all about European wars. (vs Islam).”—

    1) That’s because China and Europe went through the ‘warring states’ period of civilizational consolidation thousands of years apart – and Islamic civilization is just going through it now.

    2) It’s also because the conflict between the spread of the curse of Abrahamic religions and the resulting regressive ignorance, superstition, and authoritarianism, versus the rise of modernity in Europe – and Islam is just beginning that transition.

    3) It’s also because (a) in an otherwise tedious consistency of life, wars are the only noticeable occurrences (b) europeans were pervasively literate during our ‘warring states’ period of development. (c) europeans alone solved the problem of government, and the problem of government involves the acts of government – including war.

    4) It’s also because Europe’s rapid technical innovation is due to the pressures created by the use of technology to defeat the southern authoritarian Abrahamic vs the northern germanic libertarian instead of religion, ideology, or population size – because europeans are the produce of the west indo european expansion who united horse, bronze, and wheel and by accident invented good government because of it AND the objective, empirical and finally scientific mind.

    5) there is no comparison between the number, and constancy wars of MENA, vs the other civilizations of Europe, China, and India, especially India’s natural peace, and Europe’s great Pax-Romana, and Pax-Americana for the simple reason that MENA is at the axis of four continents, and four races with the agrarian revolution beginning in the levant anatolia and Mesopotamia, and being conquered by wave after wave of barbarians each of whom replaced the previous generation of barbarians – and unfortunately cost the world the Persians and NW Indians.

    6) There is no comparison between the Muslim destruction of the great civilizations of the ancient world and the reduction of them to ashes: north African, Egyptian, Levantine, Anatolian, Mesopotamian, Persian (3 times), northwest Indian, and even the simple people of the steppe, and the destruction of the advancement of old Europe, and the destruction een of the high culture of the Byzantines. Nor the degeneracy that Islam imposed on each after the recidivism of fundamentalism beginning in the tenth century.

    7) Europeans, with the age of sail, caused by the mulsim destruction of Constantinople and closure of the ports, ended the viability of the overland silk road, ended middle eastern possibility of wealth, and (poorly)unified the world with transport, science, accounting, law, institutions and trade – by dragging primitive peoples into modernity kicking and screaming. But the evidence is obvious that those who were so ‘dragged’ are better off than those not today.

    Compare that to Islam, that has had a devolutionary effect on everything it touches. Even today, nearly all terrorist groups are Muslim, nearly all failed states are Abrahamic, and nearly all instability is either Islamic or the threat of Islam.

    SUMMARY Ignorance in Islam is pervasive and self-justifying because of that ignorance. And, in other words, people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. The greatest cancer in human history is the abrahamic religions that taught men how to lie – and in doing so evade the one law of the universe, and the one law of god if there is one: discover, adapt, evolve – or die.

    No, it’s that wikipedia as a source of the measurements is biased for european history. And that’s because we know more of recent conflicts thanwe do about very distant Chinese, and nothing at all about Harappan.

    It doesn’t matter who is first. It matters only who is the fastest. Anyone can stumble on a technology, but the measure of a society, polity, or civilization is its application to evolutionary velocity – not its discovery.

    This is the least intuitive and most important evolutionary law that is most difficult to teach people today, precisely because of the many traditions we have of ‘being first’ because ‘being first’ is a contribution of innovation to the commons.

    However, the rate at which one can recursively innovate, adapt and evolve the commons determines the impact of the discovery or innovation, and who was first is largely irrelevant.

  • “Is it really true that European cities were bigger than cities in China, Egypt

    –“Is it really true that European cities were bigger than cities in China, Egypt and India?”–

    Yes, though it might be ‘a city’ instead of ‘cities’. But the reason is obvious.

    The neolithic land could support more people in the fertility of Europe’s ecology until the river valley peoples invented and (quickly) shared flood river irrigation, and which place the land could support more people (and still does) than any other until the age of petroleum. At which point the fertility of greater arable surface area surpassed the fertility of land with close proximity to irrigation. Egypt, despite its borders, for example, is really just x-distance from the banks of the Nile.

    Secondly, flood river valleys are basically highways, so trade accelerates, and the concentration of productive capital allows cheap and easy conquest and taxation. Taxation and trade lead to urban development, and out of necessity of the complexity, the development of writing to manage inventory, trade, and taxation – and the beginnings of the debt-credit cycle which allows greater agrarian risk and survival.

    At which point the combination of climate, transport cost and speed, trade volume, policing, government and taxation – especially given the proximity of egypt, levant, Mesopotamia, and Indus (and finally ganges and yellow river) created the opportunity for overland and coastal sea trade that held the advantage until the european Mediterranean age of good government, and then finally the european age of sail, and the european age of industrial and scientific revolution.

    Thanks for the rare intellectual honesty and interesting interaction. πŸ˜‰
