Oh, and I should add, the conditions in Europe were way different

2018-10-11 02:34:09 UTC  

I don't know terribly much about Kilwa, Mali, Nubia, Great Zimbabwe, or other mighty African empires

2018-10-11 02:34:14 UTC  

it's not my historical speciality

2018-10-11 02:34:15 UTC  

So one liking ships and the other liking canons makes the whole race retarded

2018-10-11 02:34:26 UTC  

But I know in the instance of China and Europe

2018-10-11 02:34:35 UTC  

China needed mobile warfare to combat the mongols

2018-10-11 02:34:41 UTC  

Europe needed more land because the continent was a shithole

2018-10-11 02:34:48 UTC  

Not a shithole

2018-10-11 02:34:50 UTC  

Thus, leading to emphasis on fast-firing weapons... Gunpowder weapons didn't offer that initially

2018-10-11 02:35:00 UTC  

However, in Europe, with stagnant targets like castles

2018-10-11 02:35:04 UTC  

Gunpowder weapons were viable

2018-10-11 02:35:16 UTC  

As I was mentioning

2018-10-11 02:35:20 UTC  

This advantage within warfare

2018-10-11 02:35:26 UTC  

africa used bows.

2018-10-11 02:35:28 UTC  

led to exploitation

2018-10-11 02:35:35 UTC  

Ok how did Europeans reach Africa

2018-10-11 02:35:38 UTC  

Which harmed prosperity

2018-10-11 02:35:39 UTC  

For trade

2018-10-11 02:35:44 UTC  

No

2018-10-11 02:35:47 UTC  

They reached it with ships...?

2018-10-11 02:35:50 UTC  

Again, not the lateen sail

2018-10-11 02:35:53 UTC  

Who controlled the seas

2018-10-11 02:35:54 UTC  

for slaves and mass murder

2018-10-11 02:36:00 UTC  

According to you

2018-10-11 02:36:03 UTC  

middle east

2018-10-11 02:36:04 UTC  

You can have galleys and caravels without more advanced seafaring technology

2018-10-11 02:36:41 UTC  

Also, fun fact: Many of the technologies Europeans used were discovered through trade and interaction with other continents

2018-10-11 02:37:06 UTC  

Europeans stole and improved anything they could

2018-10-11 02:37:14 UTC  

Do you agree that there are intelligence differences between races

2018-10-11 02:37:14 UTC  

^^^

2018-10-11 02:37:22 UTC  

No

2018-10-11 02:37:24 UTC  

I don't

2018-10-11 02:37:27 UTC  

Why

2018-10-11 02:37:28 UTC  

key word improved

2018-10-11 02:37:33 UTC  

I believe wealth leads to differences in intelligences

2018-10-11 02:37:45 UTC  

I believe intelligence leads to wealth

2018-10-11 02:37:48 UTC  

Improved is debatable even then

2018-10-11 02:37:52 UTC  

everyone can achieve any IQ

2018-10-11 02:37:57 UTC  

false

2018-10-11 02:37:59 UTC  

anyone*
