    Western society was founded on a recognition of limitations - as you would expect from a people who had to survive winter. Near-infinite govt debt and money printing create the illusion of a “tropical abundance” fundamentally at odds with the limits that birthed our culture.

        Interesting thesis, but a claim as large as this one requires a lot of explanation. You should write a longer piece on this.

        Here you go again with this ridiculous and unfounded claim that people from Africa are genetically addicted to the welfare state because they had “tropical abundance”. Every corner of the world tries to kill humanity, Europeans don’t hold special claim to that.

        Western society was founded on storing for winter, hunting and ALTRUISM working together, admittedly with a warrior based caste system. But the weak and old were looked after. Also big on Slavery but that's a bad idea too...

If you overvalue possessions, people begin to steal. The Master leads by emptying people's minds and filling their cores, by weakening their ambition and toughening their resolve.

        He helps people lose everything they know, everything they desire, and creates confusion in those who think that they know. Practice not-doing, and everything will fall into place.

        They had abundant natives to kill, steal from, and learn to grow food from, then George W. Carver had to teach them crop rotation

        The fundamental reason Ponzi schemes like government debt and inflation create problems like boom and bust cycles are because they are expecting increased value out of valueless initiatives. The illusion of new resources in the form of more money in our pockets will fail soon

        I don't think so, monetary policy is considered to be the leading cause of Japan's sudden economic failure (バブル景気), with following lost decades. This had a huge impact on the Japanese people.
