@Roninso in other words.... nothing significant

2020-03-26 14:52:19 UTC

can't really have a digital revolution without optical media

2020-03-26 14:53:04 UTC  

apparently we also invented casette tapes and laser discs

2020-03-26 14:53:22 UTC  

So after 2000 years of humanity all you people made was a jar and a c.d ?

2020-03-26 14:53:26 UTC  

also major contribution to wifi

2020-03-26 14:53:38 UTC  

leiden jar was something related to electricity

2020-03-26 14:54:25 UTC  

I can name more black american contributions in 300 years than the Netherlands have in 3000 years

2020-03-26 14:54:28 UTC  

we were also one of the two European nations that traded with Japan.

2020-03-26 14:54:45 UTC  

Trade is not contributing

2020-03-26 14:54:52 UTC  

it's worth mentioning

2020-03-26 14:55:00 UTC  

especially when the Americans had to bully to establish trade routes

2020-03-26 14:55:12 UTC  

then again success breeds jealousy

2020-03-26 14:55:33 UTC  

I guess that's why no one is jealous of the Netherlands

2020-03-26 14:55:51 UTC  

man I'm actually surprised to see some of the things on the lsit

2020-03-26 14:56:12 UTC  

That list is a shitshow.

2020-03-26 14:56:14 UTC  

like EPROM
WiFi
optical media in general.
without most of those things you would still be using punch cards

2020-03-26 14:56:52 UTC  

Hardly true.

2020-03-26 14:57:15 UTC  

One west African man contributed more to civilization than all of the Netherlands

2020-03-26 14:58:20 UTC  

Btfo by an African.

2020-03-26 14:58:24 UTC  

Lol

2020-03-26 14:58:34 UTC  

In STEM too

2020-03-26 14:58:35 UTC  

>studied in France

2020-03-26 14:58:44 UTC  

Not the netherlands tho

2020-03-26 14:58:46 UTC  

>Not Netherlands.

2020-03-26 14:58:51 UTC  

again he wasn't educated in Africa

2020-03-26 14:58:51 UTC  

Lol

2020-03-26 14:59:02 UTC  

the only reason he got so far was due to European education

2020-03-26 14:59:05 UTC  

These are the same people who believe magnets disprove homosexuality.

2020-03-26 14:59:28 UTC  

He got primary and secondary education in africa I think

2020-03-26 14:59:30 UTC  

And they still contribute more to STEM.

2020-03-26 14:59:44 UTC  

And usually africans study in colleges in africa, America and europe

2020-03-26 15:00:31 UTC  

making them dependent on the west for education.

2020-03-26 15:00:57 UTC  

But does that discredit his accomplishments?

2020-03-26 15:01:07 UTC  

*Im going to study in the Netherlands.*
- Nobody ever.

2020-03-26 15:01:09 UTC  

The netherlands is in the west, so why didnt they do what he did?

2020-03-26 15:01:14 UTC  

Lol

2020-03-26 15:01:22 UTC  

@Iron you would be surprised how many annoying Americans come here
