This map is from 1940
(This fits with what I wrote in my last edition of The Bitcoin Capitalist, about the factional rivalry between the intellectual descendants of Samuel Huntington (“The Clash of Civilizations”) vs his former pupil, Francis Fukuyama (“The End of History”) I posted an excerpt here.
Fukuyama thought the entire world would become one big Neo-Liberal circle-jerk.
Huntington said future conflict wouldn’t be between countries, but between cultures. And some cultures were less compatible with how we live here in the West, than others (Palantir’s point #21).
Overall, the project didn’t change. The faction driving it did.
Driving what? The inexorable drive toward post-Democratic technocracy.
