>>1625611
No, it's stupid.

>>1625626
Why?

Afghanistan has been a permanent shithole since the 1600's.

possibly.

the mean IQ even of negroes even when they're raised in 1st world education systems is 80-85, and in subsaharan Africa where the education systems are 3rd world the average IQ of most countries is in the 70s.

how can you expect a country to be rich and get better when only 5% of the population is even average by first world standards?

>>1625654
As the amount of capital on Earth continually expands (As it has been shown to do over time) even shitholes and certain areas will continually see wealth expansion over time, even if slightly stifled by other conditions.

Which is why the DRC is poorer per capita than it was in 1970?

>>1625668
Well I thought we were discussing in a purely economic sense, but those are due to factors of war, civil unrest, and insurgency which is not tied to the problems of its economy. If such things were removed, than the DRC would probably become more rich over time.

How does this argument correlate with this one>>1625663

Yes. As long as there're capitalist, you need the poors to do the jobs
