Well, we count stop stealing all their talent

Just close immigration.

im not for that, either though

it's their choice to immigrate

but yeah, that has something to do with it

probagbly a pareto distribution thing 😃

Well, smart people leave because they will get killed. We take them because we want them.

It's not much of a choice

probably because the governments are corrupt and/or the country is ruled by barbarians basically.

Francis Fukuyama makes an argument that the reason why South American countries are generally unsuccessful has to do with the differences in the colonizing cultures.

Spain didn't really embrace enlightenment values.

Egalitarianism, rule-of-law, universalism, etc.

spanish/portugese vs french/english/dutch?

That's his argument, yeah.

I mean.. its not like there isn't a blueprint for success that these countries could follow easily since the general populace has every increasing knowledge of the outside world

Fukuyama was wrong on a lot of stuff, but he is thought provoking at least.

It's easy to say they should emulate more successful countries. It's hard to actually make that a reality when doing so upsets existing interests.

oh I know
