Why white men spread and made colonies? It was the food it seems

Or, white men spread and made colonies?

Yes, we are.

some english guy claimed it was because of english women…how homely they all looked so they HAD to get out THERE ya know?

That! coupled with english FOOD and that was it.. time to go sailing boys.

yeah its been a case of “our chinese” are better than “your Chinese” when it comes to math. Look at pics of all the math teams ?

That’s a factor.

And killed millions with the diseases they brought and enslaved many black people but spread them all over the world and caused two world wars etc etc

Much like the mongols and others

So it seems a lot of people here are OK with the idea that some races and ethnic groups are naturally smarter than others. There’s a bit of controversy over the Bell Curve to put it mildly.

How do you define smarts? And how do you account for culture?

Good point. Some cultures value study over others, some cultures encourage debate over others. Some cultures have better support networks.

Hmm, give examples.

They got lucky and found coal deposits.

So some cultures are superior to others ?

No, different cultures place different values on things.

Smarts? IQ score is a common method.

Culture? Learning helps one be culture I think. How people learning changing though, like less in-person school, more online learning.

Taiwanese driving culture
:nerd_face:

You learn. You learned how to avoid a crash, like me? (The car has no dings; the scooter a few)

Never had one until I moved to Taiwan. There’s a whole thread of high IQ people doing not smart stuff

Yeah, lots of book smart, street dumb people.

Hope your ok, did someone ram into you? I tend drive slow in the city, try avoid the macho drivers.

They’re just being “cultured”… you wouldn’t understand.
