Tidbits to add:
a) class is a rough approximation of “capacity for radius of responsibility:
b) ‘hot’ economies raise people in every class beyond their capacity for responsibility faster than they can learn to adapt to those responsibilities. (Most hot economies are windfalls not sustainable increases as with the scientific and industrial revolutions)
c) the exhaustion of the opportunities of the hot economy made possible by such differences in consumption lead to said inequality and conflict higher than previous inequality and conflict.
c) This creates a conflation in the perception of the population of their false presumption of their own competency, agency, and resources, when their condition is just momentum created by a windfall in production or from conquest.
d) Causing leadership to externalize blame and responsibility driving nationalism as the means of coherence, and militaristic expansions externally or civil wars internally if such nationalism and externalization fail.
e) The west is in demographic and cognitive decline. Our cognitive decline is exacerbatted by pervasive ideological lying in the behavioral pseudosciences. Though mathiness (mathematical pseudoscience) in physics is preventing progress in that field as well. We are still maintaining the most capital directed to investment in SOME innovation, creating a motivational lottery effect, but false promise of sustainable redistribution (our false windfall) is diverting state capital investment away from commons and infrastructure to support questionable consumption.
