Bryant McGill's [[wiki/Neo-Westernism|neo-Westernism]] is a different framework about Western renewal and prospective machine-mediated inheritance. Neither term should be used as a casual synonym for the other. ## Related [[wiki/Ancient Greece|Ancient Greece]] · [[wiki/Greek Nation and Diaspora|Greek Nation and Diaspora]] · [[wiki/Hellenic Cultural Inheritance|Hellenic Cultural Inheritance]]
