The disproportionate influence of the west is exactly why the leftists want to clamp down on western power and obliterate western civilization. They will point to the author’s chest-thumping essay above as the reason for their work.
Very interesting
I don’t think there is a slackening of the rate of innovation in human conflict. Military technology in the form of drones and autonomous weapons systems is rapidly advancing. Artificial intelligence, combined with advances in social networking, is enabling greater conflict among ideologies.
So if competition and conflict are the mainsprings of Western Civ, we appear to be entering a new golden age. I hope the body count isn’t too high.

The West is either ever expanding and expanding, or it’s cringing in the corner full of guilt and self-hatred. It has had problems finding a middle way or a different way.
Because, the best jobs were in government so their brightest boys took the government exam. They then proceeded to chop their balls off.
There was nothing outside the government. They ran everything. And it was being run by people who had no future generation to care about.
Not a great plan.
I think the Golden Age of the West is over. And we’re going to head in the Dark Ages. We won’t see much advances in technology. Just take a look at Saudi Arabia.
