How did being protestant as a religion make people more economically successful than catholics?

There’s a whole book on that.

I was asking Andrew to articulate and not Max Weber. And to clarify over what timeline. 15th century? Now? Or 100 years ago when Weber wrote the book?

Which part of the religion itself was so influential to make Protestants more successful?

You need to one up them. The locals like to sleep in on Saturdays and Sundays. So get a bagpipe and blast it on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 6am. When they complain to you, you have something to negotiate with.

I saw some folks in TV complaining about a temple parade using airhorns at 9am on a Sunday. Dont they know we were sleeping!!!

Times are changing. My neighbours would complain about noise from my kids in the apartment in the daytime. Grumpy farts.

Yes I distinctly remember Martin Luther’s treatise on pulling out. This spurred the advent of capitalism and spread the ideas of European culture throughout the world.

Protestant work ethic = too tired for sex.

I thought that was the Catholics.

Coitus interruptus is literally Latin, so it had to be them.

Got something great to offer as a startup like technology or something. Fail. Lots of that already apparent or disappear.

Most startups disappear regardless of where they are. Taiwan is a great place to start certain businesses. If the startups fail here it’s usually because of the founder not the country.

Taiwanese soldiers, Taiwanese don’t seem to bothered about re procreation.

Every sperm is sacred.

Anyway, I thought it was the pope who encourages Catholics to pull out, at the last second.

EDIT: beaten to the punch with the obvious joke.

I think the religious stuff could be moved to a new thread.

This one is about Taiwan being a shithole.

@tango42

Taiwan is not even really an alternative of something better. But they advertise it and market it so well so it seems like it is to those that don’t know.

Taiwanese are badass at consumer marketing. That’s why they produce so many consumer name brands.

And that’s why Taiwan’s export profile is dominated by finished goods.
