Universalism, concretely apprehended, is planetary cretinization and subsequent human extinction. http://www.unz.com/article/dysgenics-and-low-creativity-why-china-cant-save-civilization/ …

Isn’t nick deeply sinocentric? Btw i’m reading your post about bioleninism and it’s

-
Thank you. We may appreciate China without making it the center of our worldview.
-
Ok, i’m gonna reformulate the question, since china appears to have the same flaws that the west has and in the long run they will make it collapse, how does it change your view regarding china? Or is it something that you already took for granted?
-
It has some of the same flaws, but by no means all of them. They also have plenty of flaws of their own. Our views (I think) are basically that China is not giving its country away to dumb foreigners, so that gives them a huge advantage right there.
-
“They also have plenty of their own”, like what?
-
Blind obedience, sycophancy, lack of scientific culture (Chinese medicine is still mostly granny tales), a fairly parochial outlook, etc. Enough to fill many books. Plenty of books out already.
-
The major one for me is that, from a Western perspective, expansionism seems inevitable, but the Chinese are content to stay within their bounding mountains.
-
"...but which are you saying is the flaw?" Well, yes.
