The West and Progress
Of course, all of humanity
has contributed to progress. Just think of Greco-Roman culture and especially
the agricultural revolution in the Middle East.
However, we Westerners created modern science, from physics to medicine; we
built machines, an economic system that led to widespread well-being, and in
recent years, we created information technology and now even artificial
intelligence.
The world we live in was created by us: those peoples who essentially imitated
us (such as those in the Far East) have also achieved prosperity.
