This creates a long genetic line between Sicilians/Southern Italians and Venetians, where the middle (Tuscany et al) probably resembles Iron Age Romans the most, though we need a good amount of ancient samples to determine that question.Jan 6, 2019, 12:18 PMCurt Doolittleagreed.

India’s is 82. India can get to 91 with literacy and nutrition. So the huge gap that will stay cannot be solved with education.Jan 6, 2019, 12:34 PMArthur Spidoneeds a few generations, thoJan 6, 2019, 12:35 PMNicholas ManousosInteresting case. They didn’t even speak the same language until they unified in the 1860s. Naturally they chose the Firenze dialect to become the national language; Dante was from Firenze. People from Firenze had a headstart because it was their native language.Jan 6, 2019, 12:43 PMCurt DoolittleJayant, there is a wonderful book, the Arthashastra by Rangarajan. I don’t remember who recommended it to me but it was the most helpful book I’ve ever read on indian history. This is political science at its best.

    If I wanted to trace western thought in political (and military) science it would be a very limited set of authors and a very small number of books. Aristotle, Caesar, machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Smith, Hume, Darwin and Milsom’s Law with Jefferson/Adam’s constitution.

    I can do a fair job with Chinese political thought since I studied it in college.

    I can’t do the same for indian. Is there a ‘small’ selection of books that are as painfully secular (scientific and practical) as Rangarajan’s? And I assume they would be available in english?Jan 6, 2019, 2:39 PMJayant BhandariMy friend Madhusudan Raj is an expert on this. He is also one of those extremely open minded people you want to be friends with.

    Greece, after its independence from the Ottoman Empire, chose the Peloponese dialect as its national language. Lucky, that’s where I’m from.

    In England it probably happened earlier, around the Elizabethan/King James Era when printing force them to standardize the language. But I don’t know which dialect they chose in England.Jan 6, 2019, 4:40 PMMadhusudan RajCurt Doolittle Arthashastra is a book by an ancient teacher of 4th century BC, who used to head Takshshila learning center and his name was Vishnugupta also popularly known as Chanakya or Kautilya.

After reading Chanakya, another book that you can read is Manu’s laws (caste is systematized by him), which is another formative book which defines India even today: https://www.amazon.in/dp/0140445404/?coliid=I1I5S53BDJR69K&colid=24Q4Q9SAUWT15&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it#reader_0140445404.Jan 7, 2019, 7:01 AMMadhusudan RajCurt Doolittle Also, A L Basham’s, a well known Indologist, book “The Wonder that Was India” also has a chapter on politics that will be helpful: https://archive.org/details/TheWonderThatWasIndiaByALBasham/page/n15.Jan 7, 2019, 7:09 AMԴավիդ ՎելլաThey still almost don’t.

    https://link.medium.com/ZwVbNGbgfTJan 5, 2019, 9:12 PMCroib MagaWow. Never thought about that but it makes sense.Jan 5, 2019, 9:17 PMSean RingThe morals of the story:

    1. Be smart about your natural resources. (Norway)

    2. If you don’t have any, build a banking industry. (Switzerland)

    3. Manufacture, don’t bitch, to paraphrase James. (Germany, France, UK)

    4. Secede from the laziness. (Italy would be at least 70% higher without the Mezzogiorno.)

    5. Stay away from wine and war (the rest).Jan 5, 2019, 9:18 PMJonathan TilasWhat’s GNP?Jan 5, 2019, 9:28 PMSean RingGross National Product. It’s how they used to measure output before they switched to GDP. Quickly, it’s economic output by citizenship (regardless of where it’s produced) versus output within a country’s borders (regardless of who produced it).Jan 5, 2019, 9:35 PMGreg Hamiltonactually the moral of the story is have a R1b dominant society.Jan 5, 2019, 10:03 PMJonathan TilasSo wouldn’t higher numbers be better? I’m looking at this through the lens of GDPJan 5, 2019, 10:06 PMSean RingIf that were the case, Iberia would be much better off. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/Haplogroup_R1b_%28Y-DNA%29.PNGJan 5, 2019, 10:44 PMSean RingJonathan Tilas Yes, absolutely.Jan 5, 2019, 10:45 PMSean RingThis may be clearer.Jan 5, 2019, 10:45 PMSean RingAnd I think the above reads “GDP” but they mean “GNP”.Jan 5, 2019, 10:46 PMVengefül BobmoranClearly GNP and GDP are missing something.

    Who cares if you’re doing bank while selling your future? You’re not productive, you’re just a shitty accountant.

    Or : No matter how rich you think you are, your own replacement is but a few distracted decades away.Jan 5, 2019, 11:43 PMLee TuckerSurprised Spain is so low. They really frittered their Empire`s legacyJan 6, 2019, 12:11 AMSean RingLee Tucker so true. If you haven’t read Ferguson’s Empire, I recommend it. It’s about England, but he contrasted how the Spanish crown constantly defaulted on its debt, despite having looted South America of its gold and silver, while England always paid its debts.Jan 6, 2019, 12:27 AMGreg HamiltonI didn’t claim guaranteed results.

    Statistics don’t work that way.Jan 6, 2019, 12:35 AMGreg HamiltonThe wealth of nations map highly correlates to the R1b R1a line.Jan 6, 2019, 12:36 AMSean RingAnd correlation doesn’t imply causation. Though, it is an interesting observation.Jan 6, 2019, 1:14 AMGreg HamiltonWell no shit…

    It’s more than an interesting observation. Genetics equals outcomesJan 6, 2019, 1:18 AMSean RingGreg, I don’t mean to piss on your parade, but basing anything on one variable isn’t good statistics.

    First, GNP/GDP is output, not wealth. I’m not splitting hairs there; debt matters. Second, the Scandis are every bit as productive, though their haplogroup isn’t R1b. I’ve already mentioned Iberia. Third, if the US didn’t defend Western Europe after WW2, the USSR would have run over the rest, destroying output everywhere. Luckily, they wouldn’t have to go over the Pyrenees.

    I’m onboard that IQ matters. But could you refer me to a paper on R1b dominant societies?Jan 6, 2019, 1:37 AMGöran DahlR1b is a Y-haplogroup, Greg; it doesn’t have an impact on your appearance, intelligence or behaviour. I hope you understand that. More than a quarter of all African-Americans are R1b, just so you know, and there’s an almost equal distribution of R1a and R1b in Germany and Norway, while there’s more than twice as much R1a in Sweden than R1b.Jan 6, 2019, 3:51 AMRichard HallSean Ring The Spanish empire was centrally run. The British was based on free enterprise.Jan 6, 2019, 4:46 AMLisa OuthwaiteNordic race FTW.Jan 6, 2019, 8:30 AMBartosz SzykThis map says only one thing – this was the GDP of the European countries in 1938.. nothing else..Jan 6, 2019, 10:48 AMGreg Hamiltondid I state a guarantee? No

    Did I state no other factors matter? No

    Did I state no other Haplogroups have a chance of success? No

    I’m not a mathematician but even I can figure out that threshold levels would matter (Africa) and that mixing different Haplogroups in varying percentages would create different outcomes.

    DNA plays a part in creating culture. DNA impacts IQ. Cultural IQ impacts success. IQ isn’t the only part of DNA that matters to success of a culture.

    A betting man having no other information to help factor would pick a R1b dominant culture as a prediction of successJan 6, 2019, 11:42 AMGöran DahlAs long as you understand that haplogroups have nothing to do with DNA at large, and that changing a man’s haplogroup from R1b to I1a does nothing to him, save for altering his paternal lineage.Jan 6, 2019, 12:25 PMGreg Hamiltonlol. Does nothing to him.

    Because lineage has nothing to do with who you are or cultureJan 6, 2019, 12:37 PMGreg Hamiltonhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289612000529Jan 6, 2019, 12:38 PMGöran DahlIt does, in the sense that it tells you where your paternal ancestor came from. Don’t confuse it with autosomal DNA, which determines your ethnicity.Jan 6, 2019, 12:38 PMGreg HamiltonShow me anywhere in my discussion where I claimed it to be everything and other factors don’t matter ?

    You’re correcting or attempting to educate me on things I never said.Jan 6, 2019, 12:40 PMGreg HamiltonI say again. In the absence of other factors a betting man would pick a R1b dominant culture. It’s a solid solid betJan 6, 2019, 12:41 PM

    TOLD YA’ SO.

    —“In only three months, Apple has lost $452 billion in market capitalization, including tens of billions on Thursday as the tech giant’s stock sank further. Apple shares have fallen by 39.1 percent since Oct. 3, when the stock hit a 52-week high of $233.47 a share. With its market cap down to about $674 billion, those losses are larger than individual value of 496 members of the S&P 500 — including Facebook and J.P. Morgan.”—

It’s the logical conclusion of one way trade, having to sign over IP or form joint ventures to get a piece of the lie – the lie, not pie By mid 2000s I met countless apac and global hq execs who had realized what I said. Japan has high margins (though falling pop so it precludes some products), they don’t steal your ip, and you always get paid without the smog. Search “why I’m leaving china” on YouTube and watch this one. If you knew this it’s just final confirmation. If it’s new, then now you see (((who))) and why they carried chinas water for 30 years. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HrzJcnK_c-4Jan 3, 2019, 4:55 PMThomas AndreassonRicky Molnar you have obviously not visited Sweden. LolJan 3, 2019, 4:58 PMJames SantagataBeyond that, you have to love china – once Chinese by genes always Chinese. Nothing changes it. It’s not a (((proposition))) like (((America))) and impossible to become a naturalized Chinese citizen. Look it up! Zero reciprocity. And no, china laughs at things like Holohoax mind control.Jan 3, 2019, 5:00 PMRicky MolnarCurt Doolittle Fill me in then. What am I not getting?Jan 3, 2019, 5:00 PMRicky MolnarReally good video, I actually watched it yesterday. Basically, as China develops further, they want to make a point about relying less and less on foreigners each day. A lot of Chinese society revolves around saving face and that’s what they’re trying to do.Jan 3, 2019, 5:02 PMRicky Molnar>tfw no ethnostateJan 3, 2019, 5:02 PMCurt Doolittlethey are targeting people who have dual citizenship in order to capture american IP, and prevent talent and capital flight, because they know their ‘correction’ is coming.Jan 3, 2019, 5:08 PMGordon ThompsonWE are seeing the beginning of a worldwide division of spheres of economic interests to preserve THE dominance of USA in West…we arehaving travel restricted and commercial business will be curtailed with Asia.Jan 3, 2019, 5:19 PMRicky MolnarThat’s impossible. It says in the image that they don’t acknowledge dual citizenship. “Dual citizenship” has no meaning in Chinese law.Jan 3, 2019, 5:20 PMRicky MolnarIt seems to me that you’re adding information to this post that was not previously present. Nothing about the image says anything about IP or protecting talent. So to say “that’s not what it says” does me no good because you still aren’t clarifying what it says. You’re just giving unrelated analysis of China.Jan 3, 2019, 5:22 PMAna Stowe GeorgievCompare Western and Eastern Europe right now. Western Europe has a higher travel advisory rate than almost all Eastern European countriesJan 3, 2019, 6:13 PMJon Jonathan”to aid Chinese authorities in resolving civil disputes in favor of Chinese parties”Jan 3, 2019, 6:29 PMRicky MolnarRight, because if you commit a crime against a Chinese national and flee the country then there’s no recourse for that Chinese person. Seems rational to me.Jan 3, 2019, 6:30 PMJon JonathanThough tbh parts of Eastern Europe probably should have a higher travel advisory, “if you are of African descent do not attempt to harass women under threat of your own safety” but Western travel advisories won’t get broken down by race even to issue notices to protect minorities 🤣Jan 3, 2019, 6:32 PMScott FreemanThere’s nothing new in this announcement.Jan 3, 2019, 8:31 PMErik LukovskyWhat if you’re born in China and one parent is Chinese?

    Also don’t the Chinese love Jews? I think they admire their business prowess, I’ve only heard positive from Jews who are thereJan 3, 2019, 9:18 PMRicky MolnarIf you were born in China and one parent is Chinese, then you would be Chinese. Obviously the complication is that if the other parent is American, that would make you American too, right? Well, under Chinese law you have to pick one or the other. If you choose to take up American citizenship, you must give up your Chinese citizenship.

    Chinese don’t think about Jews much. Their impressions of Jews are “wow those people are very clever” and “Hitler tried to kill them” but ultimately they don’t give a shit because it’s not their history and not their problem. Six million dead Jews means nothing compared to all the dead Chinese from WWII and they definitely don’t have the white guilt that has caused Westerners to chastise themselves for 80 years. Fortunately for the Chinese, Jews are unable to blend into Chinese society and cannot operate at full capacity as a parasitic race.Jan 3, 2019, 9:22 PMErik LukovskyInteresting, so they make you choose

    Jews have minimal history in Asia and China, they were always small in population there and never wanted to live there en masse like they wanted to in the West, but yeah that’s what I’m saying, the Chinese are more or less indifferent to them

    Now, what if you tried to apply for dual citizenship later after choosing Chinese, they would just decline you?Jan 3, 2019, 9:43 PMRicky MolnarIf the Chinese government found out that you had claimed citizenship in another country after already being a Chinese citizen, they would revoke your Chinese citizenship.Jan 3, 2019, 9:45 PMKari Anne DorstadWell I know for fact I will never visit China !!i had hard time seeing what this warning said because it’s so smallJan 3, 2019, 9:45 PMKari Anne DorstadI no longer own a desk top computer! I’m so glad it’s gone ! I’m down to Just an iPhone !Jan 3, 2019, 9:46 PMMary RomanoRicky Molnar Fortunately for the Chinese, their culture isn’t run by an ethnic minority that despises them and has brainwashed them into hating their own history and whitewashed the history of ((())).Jan 4, 2019, 5:47 AMKarl KühlschrankOne of the Americans picked up by the Chicoms, the male, is a member of an organization full of globalists, and Soros. Makes me realize the Chinese are not our friends generally, yet still based. They act like a nation that want to remain a nation. There are a lot of shitty Americans and I hope Trump gives this guy the same help he would have give Bo Bergdahl.
