@Baker_RidgeLine @realpatriotM @VladTheInflator No, religion held it back

@realpatriotM @VladTheInflator What characteristics are common to this region's population, to the population's intellect, to the region's shared value structure, its religious and social systems? Yes -- that's why this region is the birthplace of Western Civilization and the foundation of the modern world.

@IdunAmalieWang @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest Just cause you can bring up another factor does not mean other factors such as intelligence cant exist. What you brought up is in no way a rule and there are countless exceptions

@Righteousalpha7 @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest No, because even institutions gets affected by geography. Professor Terje Tvedt covers this in great detail. Water that can be controlled centralized tends to form authoritarian institutions. Where water is more distributed you get more egalitarian institutions.

The best striker on earth and the best chess player on earth both come from a tiny nation of just 5 million people. That same nation also happens to have the one of the most billionaires per capita in the world. Norway is truly exceptional.

@IdunAmalieWang @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest The middle east had major rivers (Nile, Tigris-Euphrates) for irrigation / transport, functional ports and coastlines for trade. and coal/iron deposits

@Righteousalpha7 @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest 4. Britain had large coal deposits, iron, a lot of coastline, deep water harbors, ease of building canals due to geography, climate that allowed steady water flow and transport through the year. Middle East lacked all of this. Deep harbors tend to form in areas that had ice age.

@d5js5ks6425 @NusklesaleMegre immigrants absolutely no because they'll vote for more immigrants ending up in an infinite loop until the country turns to shit

@NusklesaleMegre 🟩 Fat people 🟥 Non-taxpayers 🟨 Women 🟨 Homosexuals 🟨 Trans people 🟥 Minors 🟨 65+ 🟩 Unmarried 🟨 Immigrants 🟥 Criminals

Should they vote? 🟥🟨🟩 🟥 Fat people 🟥 Non-taxpayers 🟥 Women 🟥 Homosexuals 🟥 Trans people 🟥 Minors 🟥 65+ 🟥 Unmarried 🟥 Immigrants 🟥 Criminals

@IdunAmalieWang @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest Institutions and politics explain it way better according to ai. Those will be affected by the intelligence of the population

@IdunAmalieWang @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest Not everything has to happen the way it happened to happen. Life forming on other planets doesnt necessarily need the same foundations as it needed on earth. england industrialized with what they had and there were other ways the middle east couldve industrialized w what they had

@BadShipAdvice @ALifeAfterTech @usuallypregnant Its so delusional to think this would work

@ALifeAfterTech @usuallypregnant Or we can just keep the trend of hypOgamy take over and continue to evolve so that men can feel comfortable being SAHDs and women can be even more comfortable with non/low-earning men. That way, roles aren't assigned by genders, but by individual proclivities.

If women left the workforce, men’s wages would rise.

@IdunAmalieWang @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest How exactly could they not industrialise because of their geography?

@Righteousalpha7 @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest Why would they? The middle East lacked the geographical conditions for industrialization. See you don't know the history and technical requirements. You jump to conclusions based on ignorance of how industrialization happened.

@IdunAmalieWang @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest I never said its all genes. You cant know how much of it is geographical circumstances and how much is the genes no matter how much analysis you do. Maybe if the middle easterners averaged 105 iq they wouldve industrialized and went to the moon while they were ahead

@Righteousalpha7 @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest Not cherry picking. Thorough and broad analysis. The same cannot be said for the "it is all genes crowd." They cherry pick like crazy, and leap to conclusions on the most flimsy foundations.

@irrlicht_lefrog @toudai there is a -0.06 correlation between gdp per capita and population of countries, thats almost nothing. if you excluded india alone itd be a positive correlation

@Righteousalpha7 @toudai Size is a multiplier, not the baseline. Good institutions, geography, and education come first. But once those exist, a small population makes them vastly easier to manage. It's much simpler to build a flawless safety net for 5 million people than it is for 500 million.

ドイツ　人口　8350万人 イギリス人口　7000万人 フランス人口　6910万人 イタリア人口　5890万 スペイン人口　4915万人 日本もこのくらいでいいじゃん なんで1億2000万人なんてあまりにも多すぎる人口から減っただけで少子化だ少子化だ騒がれるんだ 適正値に戻るだけだろう

@jesususuaj16307 @Skeletal_Chap2 Im pakistani but my grandmother is swedish so STFU

@Righteousalpha7 @Skeletal_Chap2 nigga you look like a block of shit

Tier list of all Ethnicities!

@IdunAmalieWang @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest You can always cherry pick advantages and disadvantages of certain regions to fit how they developed throughout history, even if it was caused by a difference in intelligence.

@Righteousalpha7 @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest No because that has varied all through history immensely. Look am a history geek so I know why countries developed. And there is nothing from what I read that points to IQ being the reason but clear historical and geographic advantages.

@IdunAmalieWang @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest a minority of the world is developed

@Righteousalpha7 @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest Not by developed country standards. Just totally average. Would seem a bit odd to me to compare us to a poor country.

@IdunAmalieWang @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest You only look at it like good nation -> high iq but you dont consider that you could just as easily argue that high iq -> good nation

@Righteousalpha7 @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest There are no good test for what countries actually are. Anyone making claims about national IQs are engaging in half-way pseudo science. You have to compare countries of similar development level. For other developed countries, Norwegian IQ score is totally average.

@IdunAmalieWang @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest i didnt say norway had the highest just that they were very high

@Righteousalpha7 @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest It is meaningless to compare really poor countries to rich ones though. I would say China stands out far more than Norway, as it is not that rich yet and yet has higher average IQ score than Norway. That is quite an achievement.

@ErikErikss5ols @IdunAmalieWang @__cousin__ @dissidentwest Iran no, east asians are the exception. but most of the world isnt east asian or european

@Righteousalpha7 @IdunAmalieWang @__cousin__ @dissidentwest Dosent Iran and china sit on most around 100?

@IdunAmalieWang @ErikErikss5ols @__cousin__ @dissidentwest This is based off voluntary online tests. Nobody seriously thinks iran has over 100, it became a trend on their social media to take as many tests as possible to inflate that study. Similar thing happened in india in reality norway is far above average worldwide

@ErikErikss5ols @Righteousalpha7 @__cousin__ @dissidentwest Yeah and anyway IQ score for a whole country should be taken with a grain of salt. IQ tests were never made to be compared between countries. x.com/IdunAmalieWang…

@irrlicht_lefrog @toudai Thats because europe is full of White high iq western countries. If europe was united as one single country it would still be wealthy. Africa is 50 countries, many are small and all are poor.

@Righteousalpha7 @toudai Look at the %. Out of ~15 giant countries over 100M people, only the US is at the very top of wealth metrics. Meanwhile, nearly 100% of small Western European nations are highly prosperous. If it were just random numbers, small countries would dominate the bottom of the list too.

@IdunAmalieWang @__cousin__ @dissidentwest average only counting white countries, but majority of the world are south asian and african with average iqs between 70-90

@__cousin__ @dissidentwest As a Norwegian and flattered by but that is imply not true. Our IQ score is just normal. Even a tiny bit below average. Highest IQ scores are in Asia. We just have very sensible policies. We aren't super smart.

@nguhujjjhhh @MirceaV123 @__cousin__ @dissidentwest you're not east asian

@MirceaV123 @__cousin__ @dissidentwest Bullshit. Learn history. I’m Asian btw. But I give credits to all human races
