Great: Not in Character: It is in Geography

Contemporary discourse strains to find value in all people and all places. Another mode of valueing is to look at character.

Here is a counter to those ways of thinking. Great is in power, and power is rooted in material reality. Material reality in the form of technological supremacy, and technological supremacy relying on ubiquity of the source materials. Geographic advantage is the ultimate root of this materialist perspective.

1. A loving and sharing culture versus one with ubuitious material advantage.
2. A loving and sharing person versus a person with ubuitious material advantage.

Ubuitious material advantage wins.
