Any cultural, political or ethical arrangement that predominates in a given society, in a specific generation, follows one of two forks. If the right-hand branch is followed, then individualism is the primary social affiliation practiced among people, so good things follow: constitutional republicanism, rationalism, egoism, free markets, people with self-esteem that love good deities as rational religionists.
If the left-hand fork is followed, then collectivism is the dominant social patten of interconnection practiced among people, so less favorable conditions develop: authoritiarianism, emotionalism, socialist economics, and the masses and elites of low self-esteeming, worshiping good deities through the lens of altruist ethics.
