> it’s objectively done better than all other known systems (in longevity and impact)

I think the US is probably the country which has had the greatest positive impact on the world in the last 150 years (purely a personal opinion). But even so, we’ve only been around like 300 years total. It’s crazy to say that we have _objectively_ had the biggest and longest impact, when there are civilizations that existed for so much longer, and which made massive contributions to the world.

You might want to re-read my comment.

I made no such long term or meta claims.
