If you were a man with land?

How would you set about demonstrating this? Why is the universe intelligible? Why should it follow regular laws? What is it that would cause us to suppose that it does, or to investigate it systematically?

It doesn’t matter it was land owners. You said that anything but monarchy was unheard of. It wasn’t.

I wound demonstrate that the West is based on liberal science by simply observing it is. To your other questions - pass the joint.

I think you may have assumed someone else was replying to you. The idea of democracy certainly exists in ancient times, but not in the modern sense.[1]

I guess I'm a little confused: what is "liberal" science? Is there a specific observation to which you could point to show that the West is "based on" it?

The other questions are, I think, relevant, but I'm content to pursue this one as it's where I'm most interested in your thoughts.
