RE: East vs. West: China to dominate the world

in #globalization5 years ago (edited)

More elaboration than could fit into Steem’s 16KiB limit for my prior comment post to which this comment replies:

[…] And negentropic, holier-than-thou atheists misinterpret as the Christian God being evil because even with their self-claimed “152+ I.Q.” they’re incapable of understanding […]

I blogged two years ago in Geographical Cultural Ethos → science is dead (Part 2):

[…] Yet for more than a thousand years prior, the morality had a significant, beneficial impact on minimizing the defection of clannism.

The idealism of truthfulness and honest work fostered science:

You will notice that these features of Christianity support a world where truth is spoken, promises are kept, and science is actually scientific. Which is a big part of why it was Christians that made the scientific and Industrial Revolutions, not Jews and not Muslims, why it will be Christians that settle space and conquer the universe.

Tangentially it’s not surprising that the Pope[False Prophet] and many in the Catholic church have turned further towards extreme social justice. Ressentiment was always their fulcrum and there’s no political capital on the righteous side of idealism. For laughs I may have a numerological stake in this.

But Western atheism can’t survive long-term because it’s negentropic (i.e. normal distributions should be bell curves not U-shaped):


IQ distribution of atheists in the U.S.A.

Yet the religion that rises might not be Christian because Islam in the West is reproducing faster than the native Westerners. Or if somehow the West merges with the Chinese who are predominantly atheist.

Hajnal line and manorialism

Western Roman Catholicism enforced a ban against cousin marriages which discouraged clan bequests and encouraged neolocal households.


Manorial system

The Hajnal line (aka Western European marriage pattern) was likely significantly the result of the aforementioned familial system which was symbiotically interlinked with manorialism forming a geographical distinct culture and economy for Western Europe:


Traditional family systems of Europe

This weakened paternalism and diluted clannism defection in favor of the power of the Catholic church (which stepped into the power vacuum created by the rapid spread of Christianity that reduced the divine right mandate of emperors) and its alliances with kings, which fostered economic growth and military alliance. Some of the effects on the gender roles in relationships remains until present day.

The neolocal and non-paternalistic bequests pattern forced young men and women into the workplace instead of being nurtured collectively by the patrilineal clan (extended family) as in cultures east of the Hajnal line […]
