Europeans and colonial Europeans have become unique in the world and through history. We did not used to be so unique, but the two world wars of the early twentieth century broke us. They gutted us. Men and women not feeling or knowing they are broken and empty can still be broken and empty, when being broken and empty is their only experience.

This final book in the non-fiction collection The West seeks recovery and progress. To reverse our decline, we need again to be like other races, as we were before the Great War. The peace we need most is peace of mind.

No knowledge is more important than knowledge about people. To know human fulfilment, we need again to know what being human means and how human nature feels: tribalism; territoriality. Rather than trying to fill ourselves with other races' roots and cultures, knowing they are not ours, we need to find again our roots and cultures.

Connectedness and collective self-respect bring morality and purpose. Our human instinct is to survive, individually and collectively.

We need to be rational, to deal in reality. Repeating what everyone else says is pointless. We need to discuss, debate, and be willing to dissent.
