Individual incentives and self interests lead individuals into groups, because they can obtain more in groups than they can on their own. Kinship just happens to be a sensible criterion around which to organize a group, for a variety of evolutionary reasons. Individual incentives also lead people to group others into groups and consider them in terms of statistical, rather than individual, criteria. People will consider each other as individuals when they have individual information at hand. But sometimes, in light of statistical data, the cost of obtaining the individual information, or the risk of getting it wrong, do not outweigh the expected benefit from doing so.”— Ely Harman

All Peoples Can Adopt the Best of The European Civilizational Technologies
Only europeans could invent sovereignty, rule of law, reason, low context, high precision language, and markets in everything. And as such only europeans dragged humanity kicking and screaming out of superstition, ignorance, poverty, starvation, hard labor, child mortality, early death, disease, and the vicissitudes of nature in a universe hostile to life. But that said, *Any people willing to adopt the Government of the Universal Militia of Sovereign Men, and constrain the base impulses of the under classes can make use of that european civilizations technology.* Any group willing to do so can adopt it. It’s difficult. But it will work.

Group Genetic Indifference at Scale
Our group genetic differences are indifferent at scale as long as our distributions of the classes are indifferent at scale. The problem facing all groups is the size of their underclasses: THEY ARE NEVER SMALL ENOUGH.
