almost accidentally invented this modern West because they were trying to get the colonists to confederate and they needed to level the playing field sufficiently that the colonists had their fears put to rest enough that they were willing to sign.

And it's not a question of putting competition aside, but it's a willingness to agree that competition should not involve combat, that it should involve the innovation and the production of superior ways of being. to compete with each other in a nonviolent fashion, which is simply better.

And so to get back to the Middle East. We are caught in a tension between these two modes of collaboration. You've got the ancient mode, which involves lineage against lineage violence, in which, you know, you can find this in The Old Testament, you can find it in the Quran, right?

We've actually got a name and a location and a description of this upgrade.
