The way I write will not appeal to those who have not yet broken beyond the bounds of enthnocentrism (The Cave Walls of Culture). It is the job of culture to inculcate enthnocentrism. Most people are under its spell. That is why empire building has been so successful over the last 5000 years.

Basically. A civilization's path can be traced through it's branches, each branch is a major choice/happening. If we are here, right now, 200 thousand years after the beginning of the tree, we are on one of those branches. What I was commenting on twitter was that you cannot simply jump from one branch to another, you cannot ignore the culture that is established and with a revolution go down another path and with that revolution change the world. you cannot do that. what you can do, is with a revolution keep evolving the culture that we already have. It must be built upon what you call the judeo-christian-islamic complex and keep evolving until we are in a place *similar* to the path you want it to be. Another problem is that you are just one man. To make relevant changes in culture you need a large mass of people to generate enough energy to change what you want. The third problem is that you make the assumption that something is wrong in our culture. The world is what it is, it is not right or wrong. I'm starting to think that I need to write a book about this. Look at the picture of the tree you have up there on your post. Basically.
