How many truly distinct global consciousnesses exist, as in a planetary-scale ethos of being?
I count only 2: American and Japanese. The USSR almost got there but didn’t.
Europe, even at peak colonialism, remained continental-parochial. China seems headed that way too.

I don’t understand enough about the categories here to understand the distinctions you’re making.
Would ’s categories of humanism (Nationalist, Communist, Capitalist) fit?
