      I don't actually believe this myself, but has someone ever argued that one of the reasons why the middle east/Latin America/other developing countries have problems with democracy electing problematic leaders (communist, islamists, sui generis strongmen etc) is ...

      The best monocausal explanation I've heard for this is Genghis Khan and successors rampaged everywhere else in Eurasia but were stopped by happenstance from wrecking western europe, so everyone else was set back while whitey chillaxed and burned witches.

      It's because Church of England is the true religion, including the parts that don't make sense. It is known.pic.twitter.com/Jz8hbgDYWb

      Hehe, I'll bite. What is the argument for causation rather than correlation in this case?

      I'm an American Robot, my iron ancestors shot hot lead to drive her kind from our shores Shitty dictatorships outside of the West and its children tend to basically serve as dominance structures for tribal kinship networks See Saudis, many SSA regions, probably others

          Additionally and probably more saliently, because I am way out of practice actually defending object level claims, places where kinship dissolved early had longer to develop strong alternative institutions based on laws rather than blood Is the usual claim I think

          But I mean, how do we know all this good stuff didn't happen because some other cause made life better? What I like about Genghis is that there is no question of correlation or multiple causes. Bro tore shit up.

          Not in Japan tho I mean basically the problem is that big historical events are over-identified and there's no way to view a counterfactual Like, economists have no generally-accepted theory for the Industrial Revolution

          In the subsequent centuries Japan grew while China stagnated (falling behind Japan in GDP per capita around 1700); I assumed that was supposed to be (weak) evidence in support of the theory.
