(by “lamenting” I mean “lamenting the supposed loss of.”) Anyhow this ends your semi-annual rant that “enlightenment values” is ahistorical and that a lot of people use those “human progress” charts to make deeply misleading arguments about where progress is occurring and why. — PolitiTweet.org

The irony is that people touting/lamenting “enlightenment values” as the driver of human progress place those values in the West but then their evidence is graph charts about global child mortality and life expectancy where the actual progress is all in India, China, and Africa. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias This gets the causation backwards. Europeans didn’t just borders around preexisting, homogenous ethnolinguistic communities. The borders came first, then the language was homogenized and the ethnic identity created. In 1789 France only 12% of the population spoke French fluently. — PolitiTweet.org
