Just watched a lecture of his in which he said that the Chinese and the Indians were far superior to the West in economic culture and technology. He then suggested that the backwardness of these two countries is largely a result of Western imperialism, from which they are now "coming back."

I don't know much about history, but this sounds like batshit insanity, especially coming from one of the most respected men in academics.

Did we "steal" the technology of the glorious eastern kangz, or is he losing it?

China , if I recall properly, was more advanced in many areas during the Han Dynasty (200 BCE - 200 CE) than the Song Dynasty (~950-1200 CE), going through a regression due to instability and chaos. China going through a few centuries of stability under a strong Dynasty then decades of chaos and civil war that take a long time to recover from (it's easier to burn a field or kill a man than get a new one)

When the Europeans came, many of the technologies they brought were ones China previously had but fell out of common use.

no we absolutely did not.
They had glorious natural resources and an easy life which gave them vast cities and big groupings and achievements, while we had scarce resources and so gravitated to smaller communities as the land could not support as many people as easily because of the ice age.
But by the time we got to them they had essentially stagnated for about 2000 years, and still hadnt even thought about the possibility of toilets.
They were both great in prehistory, but as soon as the ice age ended and we started to congregate in larger communities, we surpassed them by a country mile in about 50 generations.
So no. we literally took no technology from them whatsoever. But we gave them electricity, medicine, roads, transport, shit anything beyond about 1000ad.
We took their resources, that's literally it, and in return we gave them representative democracy and ended the untouchables caste system.

anon, this is the one thing that pisses me off about this site, is none of you recognise just how important this is.
The governemnt being accountable to th people is literally responsible for your ability to think. It is called an internal or an external locus of control - whether you view your actions as responsible for their outcomes or whether you believe it just fate and nothing you do makes any difference. It is the difference between knowing you can change your own life or thinking you are a powerless nobody that just has to plough on not affecting anything.
If you value yourself, that is thanks to your ancestors fighting to be recognised as people instead of numbers. More specifically it is thanks to your english ancestors.
If the government decides it wants to be all powerful, and can kill you at any time and take all your stuff for itself, what can you do about it? Nothing. The fact that governemnts are prevented from doing that, is purely the threat of revolt from the people, because the people do not want to be slaves. If that threat is removed, the governemnt can do whatever it wants, like is happening in the EU with the slide of government supremacy.
In north korea, if you criticise the government you get shot. So who criticises the government? Noone.
If your ancestors has not fought the king's armes and won that right. you wouldnt even conceive of being free. You would just KNOW that if you argued, you die. So you would have no freedoms whatsoever, and be no better than a north korean.
In england we had to fight for representative government every generation from 1066 til 1642 when we finally won again.
Then the american settlers took that spirit to america, thomas jefferson gave it to the french and then it spread to europe in 1848.
It is the fundamental thing that all of what we imagine to be "modern" society rests on.
That's why it's the one thing communists are desperate to subvert, as it is what keeps a country free instead of drones

He's not that well respected, he's just very often cited. That's for two reasons, it seems. #1 he has been consistently anti-American on every single issue related to anything that has ever happened for his entire career which spans decades, #2 he wrote a book on media interpretation which is somewhat correct, except he has the villains all wrong. He basically says that the entirety of the mainstream media is a capitalist plot that exists to prop up American imperialist hegemony. Well, he's right that the media do collude to present a unified message, but it's run by and props up the jew, not America.

As for history, the man is an utter dolt. Remember, his field is linguistics, and apparently his theories there didn't even really pan out. So he's completely over rated. But essentially every historical argument he has ever made was flat out wrong, because they're just his ideological political bias being expressed as revisionism to paint the West and America as evil. For instance, Chomsky's contention is that the allies did nothing in WW2. The Soviets won the war, and all America contributed was firebombing Dresden and nuking Japan out of pure maliciousness because we are evil. He has been BTFO so hard by actual historians that it's a wonder anyone pays attention to him any longer, but I suppose that's the advantage being a jew will get you.

To put another example. When the Khmer Rouge first started massacring people, Chomsky's original position was that it was media lies. Then when the murders were undeniable, he argued that they were good because they prevented more killing that would follow a counterrevolution. Then when it was flat out fucking genocide and the entire American zeitgeist was horror over the episode, he quietly backed away and shut up about the whole thing for like ten years. Never issued a retraction on any statement.

Then he popped up later and argued that actually the genocide was America's fault because we're imperialist.

It's idiotic. The idea that Europe first had nothing and then stole wealth and power from superior civilizations through military force is patently wrong, the only colony that was profitable for the British Empire was India, and only then over the long term. and even that is debatable.

The chief utility of colonialism was not the wealth extracted from those colonies by force, but the fact that they acted as harbors which facilitated trade. What of the Chinese trade which brutally exploited everyone to the west by refusing to give up silver and gold, while exporting fucking bug-vomit? Is this fundamentally different from forcing the Chinks to allow the trade in gold? How long did the opium trade last?

The entire history of China was ruthless economic exploitation of its neighbors and of distant countries, they got a taste of their own medicine from the Bongs and even they aren't crying about it anymore--but the Jews are.
>>
The west borrowed form China and India very highly before and in the middle ages, but post enlightenment and scientific revolution the West far surpassed both in every way. We were reliant on them in the far past, that much is true, but imperialism came as a result of superior technology, not as a cause of it.

It wasn't western imperialism that made Chinese bureaucrats of the mandarinate bury advances like the mechanical clock in favor of studying Confucian literature for exams. China was an earthy, stable "center of the world" with no need for the kinds of wares a Leonardo would pedal to contending European states. China had renaissance men like the author of the "Dream Pool Essays", but their work was neglected by the established order and so the West would have Newton, calculus, modern physics, and so on.

Needham's massive "Science and Civilization in China" documents everything they invented, along with "Needham's Paradox" of why China never invented modern science, as above. How Chomsky is ignorant of this is ridiculous.

>In 2010's Think Like a Champion, Trump weighed up Machiavelli and Sun Tzu.

>"One book that I would suggest to you, because it is valuable for business and managerial strategies, is The Art of War by Sun Tzu. It may sound like an unusual business school recommendation, but believe me, it isn't. It's valuable and worth your time. By comparison, another famed book is Machiavelli's The Prince, which is more about political conflict and qualities necessary for leadership than war or business, but its emphasis on power becomes a negative factor. Ethics and integrity seem to get lost somewhere in the shuffle, and therefore the word Machiavellian has become a pejorative term. It's a better use of your time to read The Art of War."

>Members of his cabinet are disciples, too. Trump has nominated General James "Mad Dog" Mattis, a Sun Tzu quoting jarhead, to serve as his Defense Secretary. "The Marine Corps," said Mattis approvingly, "has always been more Eastern-oriented. I am much more comfortable with Sun Tzu and his approach to warfare."

>the Chinese and the Indians were far superior to the West in economic culture and technology

In 1492, the Muslim empires of north Africa still sat in Spain. In 1529, Vienna resisted a siege of the Muslim Ottoman empire.

Westerners have a funny view of things, but during the Dark Ages, the west was way behind the Muslim countries, the Indus Valley civilization, China etc.

It was only in the past few centuries the west began pulling ahead (and starting in the 20th century, the lead of the west has been shrinking every year).

> the backwardness of these two countries is largely a result of Western imperialism

England purposefully wrecked the Indian textiles industry when it colonized India. With China there were the Opium wars etc.

I mean you can see it in Europe - Poland and Ireland were colonized countries and the colonizers saw to it that all advancements happened in the imperial centers, while the farm work be done in the colonies. I mean England still has troops stationed in Ireland, they might put up border walls in a few months (which will sooner or later if they try to put the internal border up in Ireland probably revive the IRA).

Of course there was. Their list of inventions is not Kangz tier.

They had advanced mechanics for the time, but as an anon pointed out, they would sell these to the west and refuse to use them at home because their feudal system was terrified of progress.

At one crucial point they had ships that were more advanced than Western ships in some ways, and began rapid exploration and expansion...only for the Emperor to burn all the boats and make it a capital offense to build or sail them. He believed they should stay at home and work and not concern themselves with the rest of the world.

Opium Wars came after China's stagnation and collapse.

England ruined India's textile trade by inventing superior technology and producing better and cheaper products.

Most of the Islamic scientific dominance stemmed from preservation of European knowledge. If it wasn't for secularists like Attaturk, Islamic nations would still be in the dark ages.

In Europe, there was a scientific revolution in the seventeenth century, followed by the proliferation of different scientific disciplines in the eighteenth, and an industrial revolution (mainly in Britain) which resulted in a huge number of technological innovations and a definite advance over any other existing civilization.
Nothing comparable happened in any other civilization ever, but before this complex sequence of events, economical and technological superiority in China and India is believable.
In short: we did not "steal" technology, but invented new technologies along with a scientifically oriented culture which strongly supports inventions.

It's a bizarre notion that all innovation spilled out of the west, and nothing spilled in. As I said, at the turn of the 16th century the west was a basket case, with Muslim empires at the gates of Seville and Vienna. The west was importing its knowledge from the Muslim world - like algebra (an anglicization of the original Arabic word for it - جبر ).

Beating back the Muslim invasions at the turn of the 16th century, the Renaissance and Enlightenment etc. were a turning point, and for about a century and a half, the west did grow in power. That began changing at the beginning of the twentieth century and for the last 70 years the lead of the west has been shrinking.

>asia was incredible advanced way before the west.
No, Asia was simply behind the West chronologically, and progress in the West's medieval period is underappreciated.

If the Roman Empire somehow existed on another continent from medieval Europe, until it was conquered by modern Europe, people would be saying that Romans were way ahead of Europe. It's superficial thinking, believing that Europe went backwards, and then a miracle happened and suddenly they had science and modernity out of some culture lottery. Europe threw things out that weren't working.

The West evolved beyond the stultifying primitive large-empire stage, to a more dynamic and competitive system of organization, which maintained long-range order through the Church while letting local cultural, technological, and genetic evolution move forward.

At the dawn of modernity, Asia looked about like Europe had a thousand years before.

It's insane. The Chinese under the Qing were stagnant, same with India under the Mughals. The social stratification that both employed didn't help matters. The fucking Qing were still using swords and spears as their main weaponry in the mid-1800s. The Japanese also went about modernization much better: after the Restoration most of their government went on an 18-month world tour, they did everything they could to learn from western governments and military and incorporate them into the Japanese culture. The Qing didn't really do that.

>The west was importing its knowledge from the Muslim world - like algebra (an anglicization of the original Arabic word for it - جبر ).
The word "algebra" is from Arabic. The concepts, however, were nearly all developed in the West. What was imported from the Muslim world was a distant echo of ancient Western teachings, preserved from when they conquered parts of the Roman Empire, in the lands where the air is dry and written works keep through longer periods of neglect.

The Muslim world was importing its knowledge from Europe. They could threaten Europe only because of European defectors, who sold them things like cannon technology in order to be rich and be able to have things like sex slaves.

The West has been preeminent in learning since 1600 at least. The West has given the orient 100x what the orient has given the West, including most of what the orient gave the West in the first place.

Yes I note here 1400-1950 are the dates mentioned. As I said before, in 1492 the Muslim empires were in Spain, Muslim armies were at the gates of Vienna in 1529. So the west was not so advanced in 1400.

And obviously, the west's lead has been falling behind since World War II, perhaps even before that.

So looking at all world history - from 8000 BC to 1500, or from 1945 to now, this must be cast out of mind, and all focus must go to when the west was very dominant worldwide, which I'd say was at its height at the end of the 19th century.

Study up on it a bit. The ancient Greeks had most of algebra as we know it. Most of the rest, the advanced stuff, was added by early modern Europeans:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra#History

Persians added a little salami-slice increment to what was known in the ancient world, basically just restating it in a slightly different form. People have no real argument for the Persian contribution aside from the fact that we use the name "algebra". Indians didn't make a significant contribution to the European understanding of algebra.

You're maybe thinking of our modern numerals, which originate in India and passed through Muslim territory to us.

The Chinese are the oldest continual civilization on Earth. I'm proud of my European heritage, but I also recognize the Chinese were doing wonders in science, especially in navigation and naval expedition, long before Europeans did. Eventually, the Chinese got arrogant and bored and went to sleep, while the Europeans took the knowledge gained from the East and Middle East and basically ran with it. It's not so much that Europeans weren't inventing anything, it's just that they were too busy trying to survive harsher climates and megafauna while everyone else was creating basic algebra and engineering. Once we got a hold of it, the knowledge of all sciences took off exponentially. We also took the arts and built upon it so much better than any other civ did.

The - Chinese did not lose their advances in "Sciences, Technology, Innovations, Industry, Weaponry, Literature, Poetry, Inventions, Philosophies, folk-religions," etc. Because of Western-Imperialism. The English, French, etc. We're only able to subdue the Chinese because they had closed their empire off from the rest of the world for over 400 years. After the 14 and 1500s following the great period of Modern-Chinese Maritime-Trade in the 14th and 15th centuries that reached its zenith under the Chinese - Admiral "Zheng-He," during the "Ming - Dynasty," (1368-1644). But after China's closed it's borders in the late 14 and early 1500s Chinese society began to drastically decline and it was no-longer a society that was vastly wealthier and powerful than Greece or Rome but now a dying state. The Chinese did of course invent gun - powder and fire - arms (guns), around the 1100s maybe as early as 900 A.D., and the Mongols after invading and conquering China and setting up the Yuan - Dynasty in China adopted the technology for their own needs.

The Mongols spread gun - powder and fire - arms technology to the West and Islamic-World during their conquests of Eurasia. This is why the Ottomans used Cannons to destroy the city of Constantinople walls and the Byzantine-Army, why the Ottoman-Empire also used Cannons to conquer western-iraq from the Iranians, this is why the Russians were able to spread out across the frozen-tundras of Siberia starting under the reign of the Russians Tsar Ivan IV the Terrible, against the nomadic - tribes that lived there, it is why the Mughal-Empire expanded and conquered rival Hindu and Muslim Kingdoms examples being the Hindu-Rajput Kingdoms of Northern - India and the Islamic Dolhi-Sultanate which were both defeated by the Mughals. And why the Mughal-Empire under their emperors, "Babur, Akbar the Great, and Shah-Jahan," were able to conquer with cannons and rifles the neighboring rival Islamic and Hindu-States. It is why the English, French, Spanish, and Dutch conquered the Native - Americans between the 1500s and the 1800s a period of over 300 years. But as the Western - Europeans I.e. "(Spanish, French, English, Portuguese, Turkish, Dutch)," etc. Continued to modernize their army the Chinese stuck to their own ways and thus were easier to take advantage of. And as a result 4,000 years of Chinese-Innovation, Empire-Building, and Military-Power, came to an end. And now the "British, French, Russians, Germans and Japanese," could begin to Carve up Chinese-Territory in the late 19th-Century.
It was the Chinese fault that they fell behind. And it's good on the Chinese today that they are innovating and becoming powerful once again.

No it isn't fucktard, and there is a reason people tend to credit algebra to a muslim, and why algebra derives from a arabic word. Because it was them who actually founded algebria and recognized the differences between it and arithmetic and geometry. After all, even Ancient Egyptians understood the Pythagorean therom and did algebra. They didn't discover it.

>Rhetorical algebra, in which equations are written in full sentences. For example, the rhetorical form of x + 1 = 2 is "The thing plus one equals two" or possibly "The thing plus 1 equals 2". Rhetorical algebra was first developed by the ancient Babylonians and remained dominant up to the 16th century.
>Syncopated algebra, in which some symbolism is used, but which does not contain all of the characteristics of symbolic algebra. For instance, there may be a restriction that subtraction may be used only once within one side of an equation, which is not the case with symbolic algebra. Syncopated algebraic expression first appeared in Diophantus' Arithmetica (3rd century AD), followed by Brahmagupta's Brahma Sphuta Siddhanta (7th century).
>Symbolic algebra, in which full symbolism is used. Early steps toward this can be seen in the work of several Islamic mathematicians such as Ibn al-Banna (13th-14th centuries) and al-Qalasadi (15th century), although fully symbolic algebra was developed by François Viète (16th century). Later, René Descartes (17th century) introduced the modern notation (for example, the use of x—see below) and showed that the problems occurring in geometry can be expressed and solved in terms of algebra (Cartesian geometry

China was certainly taken advantage of by a number of European countries, but this was due largely to their poor military performance, which resulted from a lack of technological enterprise and a manufactured addition to opium by the British.

The Indians, on the other hand, actually thrived very well under colonialism (as did Hong Kong, which was the only part of China to have had become a British colony). The influence of colonialism helped develop infrastructure that, when the British left, remained and was used by the people in those regions. To date, I believe that only African / black colonies have failed to uphold and build on the infrastructure provided by the Brits. Can anyone else confirm or correct this this last point?

China was legitimately a pretty great ancient civilization. The problem is they had a ton of civil wars and that inevitably ended up with China having a gaping weakness that WAS taken advantage of by western imperialists such as the UK.

A reason for this is that "China" doesn't really exist. Chinese people used to never see themselves as "Chinese" before the West gave China that name, they instead saw themselves as belonging to their respective regions and small kingdoms within the territory we see as China.

In the first place, it's a little bit crazy to say that Europeans "stole" technology from the orient.

And I just don't see how someone who screamed at the top of his lungs about Vietnam and Trump can coolly discuss the "benefits" of china's modernization as well as its dangers.

He talks about the methods by which an establishment holds power but fails to then apply that to those that are the establishment, the Cosmopolitans, NGOs, The UN, Pope Francis, "the deepstate" etc. He adds to the establishent narrative that white people are to blame and once you get rid of them or representations and representatives of them then everything will be great.

Of course he's wrong, and for a fucking obvious reason. If the Chinese and Indian cultures were superior to European ones then they wouldn't have been fucking conquered by them. For a long time they were "superior", but then starting about 500 years ago europe shot beyond and outpaced them and eventually conquered them. To pretend european cultures wetent superior during this period odds at best wishful thinking and at worst subversive. As to why he would say something so foolish/subversive, well we all knpw why.

Yes the chinks froze in time, due to their extreme absolutist rule. Europe was similar in the earlier middle ages. But countries like England accelerated rapidly after black death. When there was very little peasants, they could make demands, improve their social status and generally moved towards more free society. this led to people opening businesses and improving economy and technology as well.

Russian tzar Peter the great visited England and Netherlands in the early 18th century, and when he saw the wealth, he said he wants that in his country and started some marginal reforms. But he was also hardcore absolutist and didnt want to give people any freedoms, so nothing improved.

Generally when people arent fucked over by the state and are allowed to work for their own benefit, the country advanced gradually. In absolutist regimes, the country stagnates to the point that situation is unsustainable, and suddenly either one englightened ruler comes to power and overturns everything quickly (Peter the great in Russia or Meiji Restoration) or the old regime wants to keep status quo indefinitely and they are just overthrown (russian or chinese commie revolutions). Of course such great leaps forward often cost many lives and the results are often shittier than with gradual progress

It was China's fault for closing all borders and not having explored the world like we did (to be fair they did make an attempt, but never to be reiterated.)

Colonization of India is a modern development (18th century at the earliest). China was never really colonized. Europeans sure have been perfidious during the Opium Wars, but it doesn't explain the chronic failure of China to have a stable, modern state (do you know how many Chinese died in civil wars just for the 19th century alone ?)

The technology that China and India are using today is entirely Western (invented by white people, then copied by Asians). In today's world, modernizing means in fact westernizing. What's originally Asian about Science and Industry ? I think it's more of Whitey's invention, Noam !
