over recent history, maybe

Well let me ask you a question

look up the Flynn effect

Is IQ all that matters to a society's direction and decisions?

nope

no, I think personality is a factor as well

as well as a host of other things, like the historical narrative and philosophy which may form the basis of those decisions

however those two not necessarily independent of those traits

Yeah so they are factors

But how big a factor?

well, for example, Asians have higher IQ than Caucasians, but they are likely more collectivist due to a personality difference

because I'm pretty sure that the existing environment (society, economy, local land's resources) are bigger

well... the existing the environment was developed to a great extent by the people that live in it

that's a unique aspect of humans, we affect our own environment

to such a degree that it affects our evolutionary direction

what about the fact the communism is wide spread in Asia while orginating from eroupe.

it did not originate from Europeans.

It did

marxs?

but that's a side point

Marx was Jewish

wew

lad

but did the jews not inhrate a lot of europen genes by being there for a longtime.

The Ashkenazi Jews kept to themselves mostly

within other societies

to preserve their ethnicity and culture

k

leaving that point asside

Why did western Europe develop into the "western world " while eastern Europe fall behind following the black plague?

long story

@Apotheosis Still another race being able to set the princibles of another, showing how confinding to your race is ilogical to spread your princibles.

if I had to guess, one big factor is tech advancement

no

yes china had all of it too, but they didn't need to learn to use it, develop it, and exploit it as much as we did

It can be greatly simplified

the big thing was losing the thirty years war

Not really

and not forming unified states

for a long time

because europe was at war all the damn time, there was a constant armsrace in every category
