The world has developed because of Western culture. It didn't just magically develop where Western Culture happened to hold sway.

That was true to a point, but lots of countries have chosen to develop around Western values/institutions pretty late in the game, especially in Asia. I mean we're talking post-WW2 (in China's case, from like the 90s).

There are, theoretically, other systems that could have developed the world, but they're incompatible with the world as, is. And I'm not referencing Communism, because that's a spinoff of Western culture and not something separate.

It helped we had a bunch of cheap energy to grow. We'll see how civil, virtuous, and creative we are if that comes to an end.
