I produced the following table to show, roughly, the differences between Western and Eastern civilization.
The West is the world of patriarchal White people of pastoralist descent. We thrive on milk and meat. We maximize our wealth and quality of life rather than our numbers.
The East is the world of communes, of matriarchal non-Whites who descended from grain (Asia) and fruit eaters (Africa). Their numbers are so huge because the energy needs of their smaller bodies are much lower.
