Although I do think Islam does teach some relatively harmful ideas

You could do genetic screening

Wouldn’t that be a lot easier

Like

Genetic testing

There are companies that do it in mass numbers

It wouldn’t be hard

If your so concerned about genes that make you more violent

Or at least prone to it

Although imo the government should be more libertarian then that

Yes they can assimilate

What about gay saudis?

Do we deport them to a place where they will be killed

Excuse me?

You don’t chose to be gay

As far as I know, yes

Whether they are born gay or not

They never made a conscious decision to be gay

Regardless you still never make a choice to be gay @Shadowstitcher11

Really

I never remember doing it

How did you decide

No

I’m curious now

How did you chose to be straight

Wait

@Shadowstitcher11 that was a decision on whether or not you were gay, not whether or not you were going to be gay

Well then when did I make a decision to be gay?

I frankly don’t remember it

And I would never want to chose it

When

And how

Welp I gtg

Can we continue in dms later?

Shadow mind if we can continue in dms later?

K cya

Hold up

There is a fairly simple explanation that explains a lot of success

They were always extremely divided so countries always had to invent and innovate new technologies for warfare

Also especially since the north sea was rough, Europeans who lived in that area who could sail through it could sail nearly anywhere else

So the naval technology was also great

Especially after the renaissance

Before it the Europeans weren’t really better than anyone else

Perhaps their navies has a slight edge but eh

Also @Shadowstitcher11 the roman empire could never have existed in Africa

Aside from the north coast

Where they did exist

How are we superior at all?

I’m just explaining why we were the dominant historical force

Not that we are genetically superior or anything

Arts shmarts

All cultures have their own interesting forms

So there isn’t really an “ahead”

Well

No

Not really

Just a universal one

Which can be explained by Europe being the furthest along in technology historically

Well

Thinking of how to put it into better words

Europeans were furthest along in scientific progress historically

And

Post renaissance

Since the 1600’s

They formed organized scientific communities which needed universal methods

It has very little to do with race

Well I’m offering up an explanation

In which race isn’t a factor

Whats shakey about it?

Im in class atm

Wanna dm me later and we can debate some stuff one on one

I certainly do not support communism btw

Not even socialism

Capitalism is best imo

Wha

Can you provide a source?

Nonono

Correlation does not equal causation

Yeah but it also lines up with a income map for the most part

Again

Correlation does not equal causation

There could be other factors at play

Has a well controlled study actually been done?

He’s correlating it with race

You do get what I’m saying, right?

No

Wait

That doesn’t make sense

Wym?

Oh

Well yeah I guess

But it appears to be a pretty minimal impact in my experience

I guess

Can you guys show anything besides correlation

Like perhaps a credible study?

Like something other than just showing correlation

It shows really poor scientific literacy if you can’t provide anything else
