Why is it that all the most influential scientists and researchers throughout history have been white?
>>
Superior Judeo-Greek heritage.
>>
>>9067666
racism
>>
/pol/ would say because other races are inferior
/sci/ would say whites are clearly more gifted in terms of intellectual potential
>>
Whites went to africa and stole all they knowledge and powers and lobotomized a race of kings
>>
The interesting thing really is the lack of significant Asian scientists.

For their high IQs, and vast numbers of PhDs, they still lag behind in most areas of research.

A lot of things in mathematics and science were discovered independently in both Asia and Europe, but they lacked the Greeks and their philosophy which also inspired much of the later European science and math. Though there was some exchange through the silk road.

Also with the age of exploration and colonization we exported a lot of science to other parts of the world. So those independently discovered things are still credited to European scientists and mathematicians
>>
this came about because europe had enough resources to lead to a surplus of wealth ,and for those born to well off families there is more time to spend on more abstract pursuits such as science and maths as opposed to putting food on the table.

This might shock you.

Geography.

Life ain't fair, deal with it.

Why is it that all the most influential scientists and researchers of the last 200 years have been Jewish and not white?
>>
West was richer, so the inhabitants could dedicate themselves to draw figures in the sand with sticks.

It also happens the inhabitants were washed-out too.
>>
White people always had privileges throughout history and tended to be more wealthy so they had more access to higher education. But if you look well into earlier times, majority of well known intellectuals were arabs or studied in the middle east/africa (library of alexandria as an example). But back to the more modern people, it is all on privilege.
>>
>>9068178
so the evolutionary pressures provided by the european continent caused white people to become smarter than other peoples?
got it
>>
>>9068246
Intelligence isn't the end goal of evolution, so no.
>>
>>9068253
who said that?
>>
>>9068254
The modern synthesis.
>>
>>9067666
why /pol/ can't restrain itself into their board and maybe /int/?
>>
>>9068213
This is only true of physics.
>>
>>9068258
i meant "no one ITT said or implied, "intelligence is the end goal of evolution, so you're attempt at refutation makes no sense."

>>9068266
also, like half of the greatest modern mathematicians were Jews

>>
>>9068262
You seem confused.

What evolutionary pressures would cause "white people" (no pure races btw) to become significantly more intelligent than other races in less than geological time?

Punctuated equilibrium?
>>
>>9068269
The requirement to develop long term planning abilities in order to survive harsh european winters.
>>
>>9068269
white people were born in cold climates which requires more intelligence to survive than warmer lcimates
>>
>>9068239
you do realize that The Library of Alexandria was build in Greek-ruled Egypt, and was a Greek institution
>>
>>9068271
>>9068274
Interesting assertion. What evidence do you have for this? And how is it easier to survive heat than cold?
>>
no black has ever matched the intellect of Newton or Euler or Gauss
>>
>>9068277
In Africa there is food supply year round. There are always fruits to pick or animals to hunt. Dealing with the heat is simple, just sit under a tree and cool off for a bit.

Europeans needed to stock pile food, harvest leather for clothing, build durable shelters that can keep them warm in the winter. Their need for tools was far greater than their warm climate cousins.

Surviving a cold climate is much harder than surviving in a warm one.
>>
>>9068277
that's the climate of europe, and european people score higher on any arbitrary set of intelligence tests controlled for socioeconomic status than people who didn't have similar pressures
>>
no affirmative action
>>
>>9067666
Because if a colored one was then they would become slaves and the master would take the credit.

IQ tests on Asians are so specious and unreliable and need to be thrown out.
>>
>>9068239
Middle Easterners are white though.

>IQ tests on Asians are so specious and unreliable and need to be thrown out.

True. IQ tests from Asian countries (besides Japan) are pretty much fabrications. IQ tests on Asians in the West are a biased sample.

>>9067750
>>9068792
>>9068808
True, Asians don't put much stock in IQ tests either, that's why they have high IQ

Not all white males are autists, but all major autists are white males.
>>
>>9068808
notice how 0% doubt is used when considering white people having higher IQ than black people but if it comes to asians you'll have to scrutinize every possibility.
>>
>>9069089
despite asians having high iq, they don't have the creativity of the white race

for example Grothendieck>>>>any asian math autist
>>
There are no superstars in science. It's a process.

For example, without the Islamic Golden Age, or the Greeks, or the Egyptians with the Library of Alexandria, then Europe would not have advanced as quickly. Science is the pursuit of knowledge, and everyone is trying to get it. Who happens to be first at getting certain parts of it is irrelevant. Someone somewhere will have found it.

Also, why is it the all the shitposts are /pol/ racists. You guys want to talk about how "superior" Europeans are but you deny science: you deny climate change and basic facts about human evolution and genetics. You claim science and education are liberal brainwashing, then sit here and brag about science.

You people are a waste of resources if the highlight of your day is shitposting on 4chan about how you're proud to be white.
>>
"Science" and the scientific method is a new thing, and it's originated in Europe. By that time in history europeans were doing bretty good and other civilizations were going down for some reason.

Also, since you'e a westerner, you have a eurocentric point of view. You have no clue about what happens on the east.
>>
>>9069097
Grothendieck = Ashkenazi Jew (HIGH IQ)
>>
Cultural bias. They're the only ones you know about. Notice how nearly everyone pictured spoke English.
>>

>jews are successful
they literally breed their people into influential positions... Also there are scholarships you get just for being jewish.

Kepler, Einstein, Lavoisier, Faraday and Darwin.

Every others are memes.
>>
>>9069089
you exist in a fantasy world of your own creation
Nigerian expatriates in the US have an average IQ of ~130
do you think this is a reliable sample for all nigerian people?
why instead do you assume asian expatriates in the US are a reliable sample when they had to escape similar bad conditions?
>>
>>9067758
No one claimed jews haven't been influential in STEM related endeavors, but gentile whites have contributed far, far more.
>>
>>9068213
This isn't true.
>>
>>9067666
they've been influential only on whites too
>>
>>9068268
This is bullshit.

I'm really surprised more people here don't call out crap like this. Though I suppose most people who actually know anything about mathematics aren't in these sorts of threads.
