Do you have some sort of evidence about this?

Sure, Europe and America dominated the research world in the 20th century, but for most of the 20th century (especially including the gigantic math/physics boom from 1900~1960) Japan and Korea were still trying to become first-world countries and China was a communist shithole trying to find things to eat other than tree bark.

Nowadays lots of research comes out of the far east.

There were many major advancements in physics pre 1850 made by Asian scientists. In fact, the bulk of mathematical and scientific advancement before the 17th century came from China and India.

Even in the 20th century there were significant Asian names in physics, which you may recognize if your knowledge of physics extends beyond pop science.

No source. In fact, Asians have a higher SD along with a higher IQ. Also, IQ does not stop having an effect on academic success at 125-130. If you read Anne Roe's study and Terman's study you'll see that there is a geometric increase in rates of academic achievement up to IQ 200, the limit of measurement.

Because people are idiots, thus utilizing cognitive bias in assessing Asians.

They confuse high academic marks with high academic contributions. Thinking that if you are exceptional in school you will automatically contribute something significant to academia when in fact such a correlation is mildly weak.

Asians are certainly intelligent but their own history has shown this intelligence is in response to over a millennium of national testing that push for rigor and dedication. It wasn't developed or mandated by the culture to constantly build abstract ideas and/or axioms, although they did indulge themselves at times in novel pursuits.

Why do you think it is most of their contributions have been in fields such as civil engineering, philosophy and military? Because their society through political decisions deem it so, value was placed on the practical and spiritual. Some of china, south korea and japan's most famous engineering structures are based on the appeasement religious ideas that so happen to correspond to math concepts (i.e. magic square) and how it would serve man and society.

It wasn't until recently has wide spread emphasis been placed on non-practical concepts that delve into pure abstraction. And such modern developments have mostly come from japan who imported academic books from europe some centuries back.

Language is limited and imprecise. "Drive" isn't quite the right word, but when it comes to describing a complex machine's behavior over a variety of contexts, and the general clustering of traits within a given population, it's good enough.

It's about the whole more than strictly delineating a series of parts. Europeans have created most of what you see around you. Anything "race" created we either destroyed, improved upon, or actually put to use. It's not because Europeans are more "driven", it's because of the presence of a certain set of mental tendencies about to what ends that drive is applied.

Seriously, take a good look at us. Look at broken and disjointed we all are. The east doesn't have nearly the battle between individual and collective, self and other, personal success and control, that Europeans do. The cultures we create make an environment wherein most people are legitimately incapable of basic comfort or self exploration. There is always the conflict. Even the religions generated in Europe didn't give half a fuck about balance, self understanding, or anything too internal. It was all about control.

Ultimately, everyone is broken garbage, no matter where you came from. There's no denying relative to scientific and political advancements, Europe has had a very novel history. Even though Asia was just one big series of bloodbaths itself.

No not really. At least half of what I see in my immediate surrounding was created by Asians. Also, when you use such a facile definition of "created," it's hard to differentiate what is Asian and what is White. A single invention will have multiple inventors.

You show a lack of insight. Do you really think Asia is homogenous with only a single type of personality? Do you think that discomfort is not THE human state (Buddha)?

You need to read a history book so that you can liberate yourself from such facile and sweeping generalizations.
>>
>>7788539
Yeah, you're probably right. Ask me on 10 different days, and I'll give you ten drastically different answers. Such is the life with chronic pain, and the only solution is death.

The base human state is not discomfort and the avoidance thereof. It's a small clustering of feedback loops that can be pushed in various directions, and this is what generates higher level experiences.

The very use of the word "facile" indicates you're not really worth communicating with on any topic of this sort. Have fun with whatever you want out of this thread. No matter what I said you'd strip it down and cram it into a hyperpolarized east vs west dichotomy instead of having any insight of your own about human communication and what is likely going on in the mind of another person.. That's how your mind works. We're all projectors, but you're a projector that fails to truly understand and appreciate their own workings.

If you look at the Jungian personality type distributions, the same trends hold for every country and there is a roughly even distribution of types.

Stop rehashing what I said as though you're the one telling me.

>There are no specific traits inherent to the people of a culture
This is just delusional. If you put people in certain environments, regardless of any genetic clustering of traits, it will bring certain behaviors and patterns out of them and that gradient determines the course of history. You are your environment as much as you are yourself.

This ignores that you are likely to see genetic clustering per any given region. Culture is not magic. It comes from somewhere, and it goes somewhere, for many reasons. Many of which your facile and myopic framework of knowledge ignores or groundlessly rejects.

The standard deviation is one thing.

Culture also plays a massive part. In Asia the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.

I pondered this myself a few years ago when I was going to study in Korea. I asked everyone over there what they thought of science, my degree, whether there was pop science on TV etc.

They couldn't understand it. They seemed bemused that I chose such a "hard" degree (physics) for fun and actually enjoyed it. They have no concept of science documentaries that you watch for fun, or reading and learning about it for fun. In Korea you read physics textbooks because your teacher told you to. You regurgitate it in the exam so you can get into a good university. You get into a good university so you can get a good job at a big company and earn lot's of money. That's just how it works there.

Obviously there are Korean scientists in it for the love of science, but they are few and far between and their schooling system seems engineered to stamp it out of them as much as possible.

Koreans are at school from 7am to 10pm or later. Quite simply they don't have time.

Asian Americans are a bit above average.
Average Asians, I don't believe so. That's excluding India.

In Asia, there's much a greater motivation towards manufacturing and shipping. Some innovation is required to keep costs down obviously, but we really don't know the trade secrets.

As for creating their own products, it's simply because no one really would wants purchase the items. We know there's thousands if not more of Chinese generics from electronics, textiles, plastics, chemicals, etc. Would anyone really want to purchase Chinese brands?

Maybe just in garments. There's tons of Asian fashion designers. Legit:

It's a meme. Asians aren't actually particularly intelligent. They are just very good at memorisarion and recognising and utilising patterns. Modern education unfortunately makes this a very valid method of learning thus Asians tend to do quite well.

As someone who goes to a Uni that is crammed with Asians, I am truly baffled by how rapidly this meme breaks down once they are presented with something unexpected or which requires deep understanding. This is why Asians are notorious for cheating.

Asians are the example for why IQ is a bit of a joke. I've actually heard an hypothesis about this too. Don't know if it's true. The reason Asians excel at rote-learning is because their written language requires it thus they are most comfortable with it. An interesting explanation.
>>
>>7788748
>Are you talking about top tier Seoul education or is it just many exaggerations?

No it's for everyone. They specifically talk about how everyone does it, the real top tier education and rich kids have their own expensive hagwons or get private tutors, they aren't sticking around in the school with the other pleb kids.

You can google hagwons if you want to see the lengths Koreans go to get their children educated.

Western education is so laissez-faire that anyone interested or good at science had to seek it out on their own and choose to study things that interested them. In Korea they don't have time, any free time is spent sleeping and socialising (while eating or drinking), they associate learning with cramming rote learning facts into their head to regurgitate in an exam later. It's all they know.

They only recently became a developed nation. Every parent wants their kid to have a better life than them by getting educated. They do weird things because it's just the done thing, they don't think about why. Smart people play classical music, right? So every single college educated Korean you meet played piano and/or violin at some point as a kid. Even if it was just for a month it happened at some point. Every single girl I met did violin or piano, and did dancing of some sort. They usually kept only the dancing interest and went more contemporary with it but they all had it.

I'm the second person they quoted in that post, and the funny part is I'm actually not entirely European. More Eurasian with a lot of other stuff thrown in, like most people. Russian, very distant "Jewish", French, English, Native American (Cherokee). Some mediterranean something or other in there as well. I have an Irish last name. And that's just a small part of 2 of 4 branches.

It's easy to assume everyone will just claim whatever their ancestral sense of identity is, is superior in some way. (Un)Fortunately I'm not an idiot, so I want to how it all really functions, and this doesn't actually play in much if at all.

There's a diffrence between people who get good grades and genuinely smart people. Let's face it, if asians couldn't study all day like they all do. then they wouldn't be cramming all these universities since they would fail! meanwhile, I know alot of American and europian people who don't do homework, study etc.. and still do really good at school.
Its really dumb when people say to other asians "you must be so smart since you Asian" no he just studies alot moron

The brits made a similar mistake though, they viewed china as a largely static entity and never anticipated actually having to give back hong kong when the lease expired. As did the americans when reagan's goons armed and trained the mujahideen.

as a westerner living in south korea, i can at least speak to the korean paradox.

korean companies are desperate for innovation, although their work culture is process oriented, not results oriented. This means that employees end up working 11 hours+ per day, maybe 5 days of vacation per year if they're lucky. people literally don't have enough time to reflect and be creative.

This is why companies like Samsung are quietly rotting from the inside. shortsighted strategy and abhorrent working conditions mean that nothing new, innovative will make it out of korea, unless by sheer luck or chance.

Being good at standardized testing and those olympiad circlejerks does not translate into being a good researcher at all.

That being said Asians are contributing shittons nowadays, even the Chinese are getting their shit together, they used to have an inferior culture that was too restricting preventing them from having their own early major contributors during the renaissance and enlightenment eras.

They're Khazar, sort of like the magyars (and Finns) so late European, but not exactly what I'd call traditionally European even though most steppe folk is considered such.

>f someone does something good their considered a westerner :o? Nevertheless, he's a great mathematician.
He was trained in Western schools in a Western culture, that makes him a Westerner yes. I think the point of this thread is to discuss why Asian cultures are inferior despite having higher genetic IQs on average. Obviously something in their culture sucks that makes Westerners beat them.

Also like how the more Western Asian countries like Japan and SK outshine the rest (only the latter is still being boosted by the US really).

Western culture is the perfect blend of innovation and productivity, hence why everyone copied it in whole. East Asian culture is more driven on productivity and less on innovation.

Fucking muslim-cuck revisionists are the worst cancer on the planet. With extremely rare exceptions like phosperous Muslims contributed fuckall, even the so called """""golden""""" age of Islam was mostly cultural (oh look, we decided to stop killing infidels for once xD. Christfags still need to pay a blood tax though because fuck them), while technology was still progression faster in Europe especially in metallurgy and argriculture.

It was EUROPEAN scholars that used Islam recordings of Greco-Roman teachings to relearn old ideas. The renaissance happened in italy even as the Arab barbarians where still pillaging and raping its coastlines. What's more the European scholars had to shift through all the bullshit religious connotations that the Arabs added.

Eventually the pre-Arab sources were found anyway.

The Human Biodiversity (HBD) sphere discusses this frequently.

One theory is that Asians are less open to new experiences and more conformist, so whites make more advancements in science.

Not sure if that's true but oh well.

No one here will say it but it's because of Christianity and western ideals of individuality that encourages free thought and rebellious thinking.

This is retarded. There's a difference between variability that rises from drift, and variability that rises from intense and concentrated selection in a different environment.

Just because blacks have more genetic diversity doesn't mean that diversity has to do with particular traits like intelligence.

This is do to genetic isolation (relative to other cultures) imo. Europeans traveled around a bit while Africans stayed put thus there was a genetic drift between Africans peoples while Europeans mixed a bit.

It's also how HIV, Ebola and other diseases would wipe out entire villages put never became a global endemic. Once Europeans introduced rail system/roads/centralism to to sub-Saharan Africa, HIV become a global problem.

This is important. It's completely unreasonable to measure "scientific output" with total academic publications. It fails to distinguish cutting-edge papers on computationally-designed enzymes in organic catalysis from shit like Chinua Achebe's paper on why racism is the central literary theme of Heart of Darkness. Restricting ourselves to reputable scientific journals and measuring times cited or times cited per capita would be reasonable.

No, that's bullshit. From time to time there come out news about how the chinese are making research in really politically incorrect shit. Like, research that in the US or any European country would get immediately banned but no in China. There the government fund these really weird research projects that all seem to look for ways to engineer the perfect human soldier, in my perspective.

Of course these are secret labs so the last thing they want is us inferior pieces of shit to know that they already have the fucking hulk and iron man there, getting ready to bomb the shit out of us and conquer the entire world. But fortunately from time to time some info does come out which makes me wonder why the fuck isn't the US doing the same kind of research. We are pretty much setting ourselves to lose in WW3 when we have to use pityful unmanned drones prone to errors and they use cyborgs with 3 brains and the body of a dinosaur covered in adamantium armor.

Give me a break. You really think mkultra stopped and that you really grasp its scope? You don't think the US is capable of the engineering and manufacturing efficiency to blow most countries away, if we actually used it for anything other than pumping out shit vehicles designed to fall apart, or equipped that will never even be realistically necessary (military industrial complex)? The US has been doing ethically frowned upon stuff for decades now. Just look at operation paperclip to see how we've traditionally viewed intelligence and personnel.

I bet you think the cold war is over too. Russia and China getting together in any manner would be enough to wipe out the US and all foreign presence. The military is well aware of this, despite how broken and incompetent the majority of our country is. It's hard to speculate what either country is capable of.
