Theory If a military conflict lasts longer than 3 yrs, economic strength determines outcome. If an economic conflict lasts longer than 30 yrs, ideological superiority determines outcome. If an ideological conflict lasts >300 yrs, technological generativity determines outcome
Newer plurality can replace an older, smaller one. Mass extinctions = dinosaur plurality getting replaced by mammal plurality for eg. Punctuated equilibrium theory of ideological evolution.

stratification / heirarchy of ideology implies a universal metric to guage competing ideologies. plurality of absolutes means "we can and must live within disagreements over what is true". can we believe in both the latter and the former? is plurality it's own universalism?

No you're confusing evolutionary success with hierarchical ranking. Ascent-of-man fallacy. Mammals just out survived dinos
