well it was never universal knowledge in europe but it also wasn't useful knowledge either. most kingdoms were not producing ships and navigators of the quality that would allow them to cross the ocean and make claims there until they actually did it.

Access to knowledge wasn't as easy as it is today. Also how could anyone guess that a super irrelevant Danish colony in greenland be close to another huge landmass, I mean would you sail to the end of the universe based on some fairy stories some half wit from the north is telling you?

yeah knowledge was definitely power in the age of exploration

Saw the wiki link and got excited to read about organized crime/black market/ of ancientgreece. Its merely mythological shite though none of it is true and thereforthwith, unworthy of my time.

They all were poor so it did literally nothing.

Exactly, similar to how multiplying by zero wouldn't yield anything, the Mongolians started out poor, and remained equally poor

>>2199373
Now Mongolia today is a good prosperous nation

I'd say contranarian. The guy was the first shitposter. He was 4chan incarnate: rude, disgusting, arrogant, and contranarian.

He was fictional figure like Jesus or Buddha...

He knew of a special research technique called "plagiarize".
He simply stole what other wrote, reworded slightly and forged dates so he appeared to have done it first.

behind every ((anglo)) """scientist""" is a genius from the continent

Wait, this means our definition of race is wrong.
We have to base it around these markers instead, which basically means we'll be able to filter out the smarts and the non-smarts in a much more accurate scientific way than basing it on skin color, which is a heuristic at best. There is no reason to use a heuristic when you can be deterministically accurate.
As you can see from the numbers, depending on how the genes are, Africans have quite the decent chance of being smart too, if you look at the numbers without having a racial agenda.
But oh wait if you do the math you'll find Asians are far more likely to have positive IQ markers than whites.
Unfortunately, you can't really do much math with the frequencies as we don't know if carrying one marker makes it more likely to carry another one - so you don't have the probabilities.
Yet another problem is the fact that any of those account for about 1% of the difference in IQ between people. Not very significant, as the correlation is so low.
I could poke more holes, but this should be enough.

All we know for sure is Asians have higher IQ's on average. Take a look at the rightmost tail of these curves.

What kind of bullshit is this?

According to the Genetic Home Reference, after extensive studying, there has not been any Genes that underlies differences in intelligence

Plus, the picture offers no source.

Communism

communism because it assumes people behave rationally

Just a guess

Europeans invented the cannon

>how difficult would it be

Impossible in one human lifespan. You're trying to fling a society that just discovered the practicalities of sanitation to the fucking space age.

>>2199120
You wouldn't need decades of Industry. I'm talking about making an engine, and then a machine to manufacture wiring, etcetera.

Same question for harvesting and refining oil for a fuel engine

its not simply a problem of technological knowledge, but also of social cohesion and organization.

the more important advances you could bring back would be the scientific method, the idea of nationhood, division of power in a government, methods to reduce corruption, germ theory and water sanitation, central banking and finance, capitalism, civil rights, etc.

Even if you could spread the idea of electronics around, it would not endure without a socially developed enough society to make use of it.

A minority of attention whores, it won't happen because they don't even have majority support from ethnic minorities. Even if they did succeed it doesn't matter since philosophy departments were already ruined by postmodernism.

He suggests that at least some philo depts. have resisted this, so maybe not all is lost.

You sure this isn't a false flag?
Wouldn't be the first time people are this retarded but it's always cause for suspicion

Because it was a huge port and ports make money.

Also, Chinese people succeed everywhere except for China.

It's not exactly unparalleled, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan all went through similar transitions.
