English isn’t just a language, it’s the world’s root OS — cope and seethe
history isn’t random, but the result of two hidden forces:
LANGUAGE (software of thought) + GEOGRAPHY (hardware of thought).
Language = the Operating System:
- English = stripped grammar, clear rules, modal verbs (“must / should / can”).
Perfect for contracts, instructions, programming, global organisation.
- German/Russian = too many cases, slows down.
- Chinese/Japanese = high-context, great for harmony, weak for explicit instruction.
- Romance langs = poetic but clunky for precision.
Sapir-Whorf: your language literally wires your brain. English makes you think like a bureaucrat/engineer no wonder the Anglo world runs the global system.
Geography = the Processor:
- Mountains = isolation, survival stress, thin air. Breeds mystics, rebels, philosophers.
- Plains = connectivity, trade, easy conquest. Breeds empires, armies, bureaucracies.
- Climate/fields = shape time-horizons. Harsh winter? You plan. Fertile flatland? You expand.
The land itself sculpts neural patterns over generations.
History proves it:
- Inca/Tibet/Ethiopia = highland minds, unique cosmologies.
- Mesopotamia, Chinese plains = bureaucratic mega-empires.
- Britain = island buffer + English language OS first truly global system.
- USA = inherited the OS + continental flatland = empire at scale.
So maybe it’s not just “guns, germs, and steel.”
It’s LANGUAGE + LAND.
The hidden geo-linguistic computer of history.
Civilisations don’t just rise.
They are *programmed*.
