The Uniqueness of The West
Mar 8, 2020, 10:52 AM by Martin Štěpán West is unique due to genetics of people that comprise it. Martial culture, harsh winters, plagues, manorialism, ban on cousin marriage and executions of 2% of the population every year left around only intelligent conscientious entrepreneurial cooperative people who, very much unlike the rest of the world, feel telling the truth is more important than saving their face and maintaining harmony. The result of this has been faster adaptation to every situation, having geniuses that discover new laws of nature and invent new technology, propelling the whole civilization forward. Answers from everyone else aren’t really explanations but various symptoms of this. Unfortunately, we took some terribly wrong turns in the last two centuries, enfranchising too many people, letting in foreigners and letting the decisions be done by majority despite terrible historical record. This will have to be reverted or else we’re heading into the second dark age.

The Banning of Cousin Marriage as The Creation of Subservience
Mar 8, 2020, 12:05 PM THE BANNING OF COUSIN MARRIAGE IN THE WEST BEGAN EARLY – BAN COUSIN MARRIAGE, USE PROPERTY RIGHTS, CREATE A UNIVERSAL MILITIA
—“In September 506 C.E., the fathers of what would later become the Roman Catholic Church gathered in southern France to draw up dozens of new laws. Some forbade clergy from visiting unrelated women. Others forbade Christians from marrying anyone more closely related than their third cousin. The authors of a sweeping new study say that last, seemingly trivial prohibition may have given birth to Western civilization as we know it. “If the authors are right, or even in the vicinity of being right, it couldn’t be bigger,” says Stephen Stich, a philosopher and cognitive scientist at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, who wasn’t involved in the work. “What they are offering to explain is the emergence of democratic institutions, of individualism in the West.” The church’s early ban on incest and cousin marriage, the researchers say, weakened the tight kinship structures that had previously defined European populations, fostering new streaks of independence, nonconformity, and a willingness to work with strangers. And as the church’s influence spread, those qualities blossomed into a suite of psychological traits common today across Western industrialized nations, they argue.”—

The Rest of The World Can’t Comprehend the West’s ‘game’
Mar 9, 2020, 1:09 PM A universal militia, using Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Duty, Markets, Rapid Adaptability, Meritocracy, and Class Harmony at the cost of the reproduction of the lower classes, and the direction of surpluses to the production of high-returns commons, has no ‘authority’ other than the law of sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, and duty and markets in everything. So we must solve all problems by creating rules (laws) that apply to all equally. Western civilization requires we solve problems with rules of the game, NOT COMMANDS. The rules preserve the west’s strategy of adaptive velocity using sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, duty, jury and markets in everything with constantly rotating natural aristocracy(military), nobility (commercial), and priesthood(public intellectuals). So, to everyone else in the world, solving problems is easy, because they think in terms of commands not game rules. And because they choose the ‘easy way’ they stagnate. It’s a lower risk for them. They pay the cost of stagnation, in exchange for the ease of administration and adoption of norms. But this difference is greater than the difference between western truth before face, and asiant face before truth, or asian harmony and western adversarialism, or asian emphasis on verbs and composition and western emphasis on nouns and shapes. It is literally inconceivable to the semitic peoples (and even to our own western women) that the secret of our success is the high cost of norms and institutions of ‘continuous recursive adaptation to circumstance’ – we are not always first, but we are always fastest. And evolution cares about fastest.
