    (It hurt watching it because when it came out, the programmers and engineers and such that were dense in new england, were cast out in vast numbers, as the pc revolution exploded on the west coast (because east coast idiots couldn’t imagine why anyone’d want a computer at home.)…

    That’s obviously not true. Here, in this map, is where those enormous ships, far larger than european ships, went before discovering enough of the world that they decided exploration wasn’t worth it. There was nothing good to be found.

    Their ships were VERY slow compared to… https://t.co/3DmrNdwkUT

    “Q: Why have observers questioned the viability of the United States-led global order?”

    THE ONE CORRECT (UNPLEASANT) ANSWER
    (repost)
    “Despite trying to create a Smithian world order of peace and trade, the authoritarian civilizations governments will not surrender their corruption and rent-seeking, and so we are reverting to the conflict of civilizations and the high cost of trade.”

    1 – The US global order, requires the USA (a) to sacrifice its middle, lower middle, working, and laboring classes (b) and its industrial base (b) to pay for policing the world’s transport and trade (the seas, the air), (c) and to provide a world currency eliminating the frictions of currency trade (d) creating relatively stable prices (e) insulating as much as possible against local crises (f) in order to raise the world out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering, child mortality, early death.

    2 – (g) thereby ending the claims that (h) authoritarian governments (i) authoritarian economies (j) empires, are superior to (k) rule of law of reciprocity (property), (l) participatory governments (m) federations of nation-states (n) long enough to complete the transition from agrarianism to industrial technological modernity.

    3 – The USA can no longer afford to do this, because (o) the American middle, lower middle, working, and laboring classes have run out of tolerance for redistributing their wealth and reproduction to the developing world. And ( p) the economic advantage of the american economy has been eliminated sufficiently that we can no longer afford to police the world system of transport and trade.

    4 – And this is because just as we learned from colonialism, we learned from globalization “ all other peoples can’t do ‘whiteness’ because it’ requires too much individual responsibility for peoples other than Europeans”. As such, as demonstrated by the middle east, Russia, China, and now retrenching India, that we can only distribute our technology, but we cannot distribute our cultural institutions.

    5 – Domestically the Class Marxists moved from Europe and Russia to America in the 1950’s and converted Class Marxism to Race Marxism, and Cultural Marxism (neo-marxism-postmodernism) and began the march through the institutions of cultural production as they destroyed those institutions in Europe and Russia. So America is now as internally unstable as other countries. That instability is only ameliorated by debt spending. And America is running out of the capacity for debt spending, now that the world order that Americans created is collapsing.

    6 – The answer is that (q) the world is rejecting our rule of law, because of the decadency it tolerated under race and cultural marxism ( r) the world is retaining what western technology that they can adopt. (s) the world is reverting to their traditional forms of government (t) the world is returning to each ‘civilization or state’ will need to police its own trade (u) the world economy will collapse into starvation on a scale not seen since the great plagues and famines (v) America will be fine because it’s an island, and resource-autarkic. (w) and America will begin to benefit from world disorder, trade problems, and warfare.

    That’s really what’s going to happen.

    Realistically: other cultures are not able to ‘do whiteness’ because they cannot create the rule of law necessary to create the trust necessary to overcome historical cultural norms traditions and values.

  • No. MENA is a not a truth before face, or face before truth, but a faceless soci

    No. MENA is a not a truth before face, or face before truth, but a faceless society – low trust – where family clan and tribe take prescendnce over comons and state. In fact our intelligence services, our military, and our commercial training organizations have to teach westerners that you can’t trust anything said in the middle east, a contract isn’t binding and won’t be respected or observed and a hundred other thigns. The result is that there are no successful governments, an no large scale international corporations, because for all intents and purposes MENA culture is ‘polite’ but untruthful, dishonest, familial, and pervasively corrupt. Islam teaches politeness, and mindfulness, and ‘feelings over reason’. Yet, when the hyper intolerant conformity is broken the muslims resort to violence. And this demand for conformity and feeling, and non-adaptation is the reason muslims are outcast in more advanced civilizations – and prohibited from many especially in theeast, wehre they lack an abrahamic religion. This problem is extensively studied by a range of economists and behaviorists.

    WHY MUSLIM ‘PRETENSE OF INTERPERSONAL AND SOCIAL PACIFISM’
    If we did as you suggest we would be still as poor and ignorant as the MENA instead of having dragged the entire world out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, hard labor, starvation, disease, suffering, and early death. We did it. We did it because you don’t realize what you’re saying is that you want to avoid work, avoid competition, avoid the conflict that comes from competition, avoid the inequality that results from successful competition, and avoide the prosperity that results, and the education in aristotelian empiricism and european science, economics, politics and law that would be required to have that prosperity.

    THE MIDDLE EAST PAST AND FUTURE
    The middle east (MENA) was the product of four forces that ceased to be useful when the muslims conquered constantinople, ending byzantium, and forcing the European age of sail that ended the silk road, the value of flood river irrigation, and the utility as a nexus of the four continents, with the transport, commercial and financial revolution just as surely as european capture of petrochemicals created the industrial revolution and ended the utility of farming.

    Ancient World Benefits:
    1. Four contients (trade)
    2. Flood river valleys (food)
    3. The Silk Road (trade)
    4. Resulting population (energy)
    Became a resource curse.

    In other words, while an early advantage, the ME fell into the resource curse. The arab expansion destroyed the great civilizations of the ancient world and the dynamic between them, so despite the multiple attemps fo the persians to resurrect learning, fundamentalism had effectively ended the middle east’s potential by 800 despite it taking to 1000 to manifest, and the 19th century to die.

    The arab expansion and islam were as bad locally as islam was for every primitive people it spread to. We cannot even resurrect persian civilzation now. And NW indian civilization is lost. China is trying to stop it’s spread and I suspect will succeed. Russian, European, and expecially subsaharan african civilization are still vunlerable.

    Each iteration of abrahamic cult of deceit is just a drug of increasing power of addiction: judaism christianity islam and their repetition in the marxist to woke to new-islamist sequence are all the same strategy of providing an alternative to the stress of indo european civilizations and east asian civilizations which require self regulation, responsibility, and trust that appears impossible to the family, clan, tribe and cult nature of the middle east, that prevents the formation of economy and nationalism which requires abandoning of fundamentalism. however the fundamental problem of the MENA world is with an average IQ of 84, it’s not possible to form a modern industrial civilzation with mass employment. So if MENA could not transform to 18th century technology and society how can it transform to 21st? It can’t. That is what the west discovered in our attempt to finish the modernization of the middle east, bringing about the end of our experment with neo-conservatism, and our hope to end world poverty. It can’t be done. 🙁
