Well Europe has “culture” too. What is unique about Anglospheric culture is that during a brief moment in time the culture of a small group of people on an island off the coast of Europe contributed the framework for liberal modernity. The reality is that “generations of trial and error experimentation and a bit of chance” produced only ONE culture out of thousands to make such a contribution. That doesn’t speak well for “culture” as the engine of civilizational advance. In fact I think we can conclude that the trial and error experimentation of culture will inevitably give us an illiberal result. So we have basically two options: we resign ourselves to this (the conservative option) or we decide to distill out of Anglospheric culture the liberal elements and choose as free people to exercise our creativity and agency to further its development (which is the option the American Founders chose).

I’ve noted that myself. I think someone called the economic version of the idea, “economic creationism.” I suppose we should add political creationism.

More generally, I believe the difference between the Anglosphere and Europe is that in the Anglosphere liberty springs from culture and in Europe it springs from ideology. Culture is an evolved standard, emotively programmed into us from childhood. Ideology is fabricated and articulated. Culture is rich, complex and nuanced. Ideology is spar, simplistic and schematic. Culture evolves through generations of trial and error experimentation and a bit of chance. Ideology exist because it wins a popularity contest in the span of a few years.
