lesser homonoid the "ghost species"

I admire baby got Bach for presenting his thoughts to opposing sides while being outnumbered

jamal doesn't know the price of diamonds on the global market

@Deleted User Explain china's precipitous fall in the first place.

so he gets paid a dollar a day to mine them

Right or wrong that’s a difficult position to be in

the second reason, and these are not distinct, is that the Chinese have a much higher G-potential than the sub-saharans

@BabygottBach no

9000 year old civilization built independently by high-iq people vs 200 year old civilization built by foreigners

@Nerthulas, what is China's g potential compared to western European?

probably higher

they apparently have a higher IQ

so

though there's reason to believe those are falsified

why did Europeans outstrip the Chinese utterly?

or at least suspects

*suspect

one theory is the black death caused labor to become very expensive, necessitating the industrial revolution

fuck china

The marxist view of history relies on tabula rasa with respect to inter-human-differenceces which has been roundly debunked so why are you even arguing?

at my job, i get to put the "made in the USA" sticker on the shit i make

Of course you'd question Chinese IQ stats. I'm assuming you think China had these IQ lead for quite a while.

china also has a very brutal and repressive history of purges, and is highly traditional, which makes it harder for them to innovate

well discovery and colonization of the Americas was a huge economic boost too

the Europeans outstripped the Chinese probably because of a combination of material and cultural factors, and possibly that at high levels, IQ does not properly predict the developmental potential of a society

@Roko, show me this debunking. Also, it does not require tabula rasa. You don't know historical materialism.

@Nerthulas, yet it does in the case of China and Africa?

think of genetics as your PC hardware... having a better PC will help you play a game better, but thats not the only factor

so

think of culture as the players skill

@BabygottBach so you admit that differenceces in ability between humans (and races) are largely heritable/mediated by genes?

are asians the best gamers

Which other continent was subjugated by another continent, @DOGPILLED?

think of other factors as starting position, teammates, luck, etc

they all matter

@BabygottBach

@Roko, it's mostly envrionmental.

zzzz

but over time, luck will average out

yes, its possible that there is a complexity to intelligence which exists at a very high level which does not exist at lower levels
