Topix Underground

It's all based on superstition and religion.  I spent a lot of time going through the kinds of enormous churches they have in Europe. The architecture and craftsmanship is insane. That was also motivated by religion and superstition. Amazing what a belief in magic can do. Classical music too.  European culture (including American)  is vastly superior to all others. It's not even close. Other cultures have brief blips, but not an unbroke continuum like us.  Pre-islam Egypt, Persia etc...flash in the pan.  China, Japan, mostly unremarkable with a few exceptions. Aztecs, Maya, etc...basically less heavily armed versions of the Mexican cartels...a bunch of coke heads.
