Topic: European and American arrogance though
Anonymous A started this discussion 1 week ago #132,312
Europeans and Americans think they’re superior because they have technology that was designed in Europe and the United States, assembled in China, with raw materials sourced from Africa.

There’s the whole "we have the technology they don’t because they’re stupid so there’s nothing they can do" attitude, but when you actually look into these supply chains, not very deeply, but at a shallow shallow surface level… I just don’t see how they don’t see what the problem is here. lol

I guess the simplest way to put why I feel optimistic, is because the world is the way it is now, because of hundreds of years of white supremacy. But white supremacy was possible because black people were a minority. There were fewer black people in the world, so white people could exploit them. But the west has low birth rates, Asia has low birth rates, and Africa doesn’t.

China has 1.4 billion people, they have one child per woman, Africa has 1.5 billion people, they have closer to four children per woman. You need women to have slightly more than two children on average to keep the population stable. The United States can avoid that problem through immigration.

It’s also not really going to cause an overpopulation problem since because birth rates are below replacement in Europe, the Americas, and Asia, a lot of people are going to start dying off, so Africa will make up for the population loss elsewhere.

Japan has experienced economic stagnation due to their declining population.
Japan’s GDP over time (notice how it stops increasing in the 1990s)
https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/jpn/japan/gdp-gross-domestic-product
You can compare that to Japan’s population
https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/jpn/japan/population
There’s a correlation between when Japan’s population stopped growing and when their economy stopped growing. The rest of the developed world is going to probably experience the same thing.

It’s not a genetic or a cultural thing, the same pattern repeats in a lot of places. Cities are built near water, colder climates force people to build infrastructure, more people and better infrastructure results in a better economy.
Europe is wealthy, they have seas everywhere, Britain is an island, Japan is an island, Korea is a peninsula. These aren’t coincidences. How many islands and peninsulas and seas are there in Africa?

There are also some countries that either are building nuclear power plants or planning on building nuclear plants. Egypt is building one, and I think Ethiopia is planning on building one but I don’t think they’ve started construction yet. As long as they find something to do with the waste, nuclear is also much better for the environment than fossil fuels.

From a quick google search, from what I can find, it seems like there are some countries in Africa that have the technical ability to create a nuclear reactor but not the funding required to build one that generates a significant amount of electricity. So some countries like Ghana just have research reactors and no nuclear power plants.

But in theory, I don’t see any reason why they couldn’t eventually scale that up into something productive if at some point in the future they can gather the funds for it.

You’re not supposed to take an IQ test multiple times because each time you take it you’ll score higher, so they consider it to be "inaccurate" if you take it more than once.
But that fact sort of undermines the entire premise of an IQ test, which is that intelligence is some innate measurable thing that can’t be changed, when that’s not really the case.

> But that fact sort of undermines the entire premise of an IQ test, which is that intelligence is some innate measurable thing that can’t be changed, when that’s not really the case.
There’s also not really any particular reason why some people would be significantly smarter or dumber than other people. Early "race scientists" (not a real science) used to try and argue that some races were less intelligent because they had smaller brain volumes. So it is true for example, that women have smaller brains on average than men, but women are shorter on average than men. So once you factor in height, there’s actually not really that much variance in human brain size. So the old fashioned European "race scientists" that were going around saying that people from poorer parts of the world had smaller brains, sometimes they were lying, but that isn’t necessarily incorrect. Malnourished people tend to be shorter and shorter people tend to have smaller organs. But that’s not really groundbreaking, that’s just blatantly obvious.

For example, in Africans are shorter on average than Europeans. So you would obviously except Africans to have smaller brains on average because they’re smaller people. But white people say all the time that basketball is dominated by black people, because black people are tall, which is true. Black people are genetically tall, so they’re not short because of genetics. So the brain size thing and the IQ thing aren’t genetic. It’s circumstantial.
So you could imagine back in the 1800s, when circumstances in Africa were much more dire because of European colonial rule, this effect would have been even greater, because Africans would have been even more malnourished. But Europeans convinced themselves they were superior by measuring brain volumes, but just assumed the size of a skull is just genetic and nothing else.

Of course, now the population difference would more than offset that. Even if the IQ scores racists cite were true (they’re not) 1.5 billion * 70 = 105 billion IQ points, 750 million * 100 = 75 billion IQ points. Of course, Africans don’t have average IQs of 70 because by definition if you score lower than 98% of people you have an IQ of 70, but Africans are 18% of the population so it’s necessarily impossible for them to have an average IQ of 70. But even if hypothetically they did, the biological determinist argument wouldn’t be sufficient for Europe to remain dominant in the future even if it actually were true.

put solar cells in airtight thicc glass domes on top of one/ two storey towers. no sand grinding away at solar cells, no sand burying solar cells, plus towers provide shade.
africans are retarded.

Climate change would also negatively impact Europe. Europe is as far north as Canada but has a much warmer climate due to the AMOC ocean current system. There’s evidence that the AMOC has been weakening in recent years due to climate change (although there’s debate about he rate of weakening). If it were to collapse, Europe would become colder.

London in England has the same latitude as Calgary in Canada, but Calgary gets to -30 Celsius in the winter.

For some reason people think the US and Europe are level with each other, but the closest US state to Africa is actually Maine.
