Yes, I am. The question is not, why did "liberal values" emerge in NW Europe? That's an interesting question that we actually discuss. The question is, why didn't "liberal values" emerge in NW Europe earlier *if you believe that the genetic component is the key determinant*?

Gregory Clark's work is precisely about this, i.e. the process of genetic modification that underpinned the emergence of capitalism in NW Europe. So, as I say, your argument is with him.

... Anything I'm saying on the subject is downstream from people who know what they're talking about (such as Gregory Cochran, Gregory Clark, and Steve Hsu). Tell me why any of them are wrong, and I'll fold like an origami kit.

I find that doubtful, because your beliefs don't appear to be based on scientific evidence; you appear to use scientific evidence to validate your pre-existing beliefs.
