This chapter documents that the CW-Condition’s determination of emancipatory outcomes has constantly declined since the decolonization period, thus dissolving human emancipation’s spatial limitation. A key explanation of this decline in the geo-climatic determinacy of societal development is the worldwide quantity-to-quality shift in people’s lifetime investment, which replaces high fertility rates with high schooling rates: what we call the “fertility-to-schooling transition”—a development that capitalizes on our species’ most valuable quality, which we interchangeably address as agency, individuality or personhood. As we document, this fertility-to-schooling transition is the most indicative manifestation of humanity’s cognitive mobilization, moral liberation and aspirational ascension—a psychological process of self-empowerment that deserves no humbler label than Enlightenment.
