14. Yet today, technology is globalized
And whilst the USA may own some patents, there are no particular
technological advances owned by any group of homo sapiens over any
other group of said "neanderthals" so that political-economy
argument presented by shraby here, is the progress myth.

This myth conceals in practice, ethocentricsm that allows 1 culture
to say, because they are more "technologically advanced" in their
own opnions... that they have some superior rights to government...
what i call "the divine right of kings.".

It sounds so sweet and appealing that progress myth... yet the
reality is that the progress is a fantasy, and humanity is as
barbaric as it was during the decline of the neanderthals.
