The West - The Universal civilization

In the 17th-18th centuries, the West invented science, democracy and capitalism. After 5,000 years of ignorance, superstition, tyranny, war, genocide and poverty, the solutions to mankind's fundamental problems were at last discovered.

There are no other solutions to ignorance and superstition, other than science. There are no other solutions to tyranny, oppression, racism, war and genocide, other than democracy. There are no other solutions to poverty, disease and famine, other than capitalism. These three ideas are universal, and will work for the whole planet, and should be adopted by the whole planet.

Mankind's tragic history will only end when that happens. If these ideas are adopted by the whole planet, then war, terrorism, genocide, poverty and famine will end forever. No other utopia will work. But this one will.

Blocked on Twitter by the regressive left and Islamists: I love debate. I love ideas. But the Western left and their friends the Islamic right do not return the favour. Their response to opposing ideas, whether expressed politely or robustly, is often to block. See Who blocks me on Twitter.

I like debate. But I do have rules. See Who I block on Twitter.

Twitter is broken, 2016 to 2022: I am on Twitter at markhumphrys. Twitter was a great place for debate before 2016. You could meet everyone in the world, and argue about ideas. Starting in 2016, Twitter became increasingly broken. It became full of reporting and bans and censorship. In 2019, Twitter even started shadowbanning me for no reason that was ever explained, or could be appealed. By 2022, everyone was looking for a better place to debate.

Twitter is saved, 2022: In 2022 Elon Musk bought Twitter and started to end the censorship. It looks great so far. Twitter seems to be saved.
