Itâs not possible becasue the two goals are incompatible. The answer is to reverse the mistake of the civil war, and separate the âcoastsâ from the âcoreâ.

Skin color and genetic composition are two different things.
The principle difference between the different races is the degree of neoteny achieved before and during the agrarian phase. It was impossible for people in warm climates to achieve circumpolar degrees of neoteny because neotenic development (extending childhood by limiting maturity) exposes the child to environmental hazards longer. So people with darker skin from warmer climates evolved to mature early and deeply in order to survive (particularly africa, which is very hostile due to pests.)
While animals have white skin, hair and fur are insulators. So to run as we humans do (we are the most efficient runners on earth), required we lose our hair, lose some of our muscle mass, and develop dark skin to compensate. Some groups then redeveloped white skin and it was not that long ago. It’s just ‘preferable’ because it signals neoteny “youth”.
So peoples with darker skin have achieved less neotonic selection. This is really the only difference between races and subraces, other than we all seem to vary in verbal intelligence vs spatial intelligence.
Ergo, you can determine tribal origins from facial features and body structure, and skin color does not seem to affect it.
I have worked on this problem for quite some time. And it’s … politically incorrect. So like many things, research has been suppressed since the second world war. But that said research does exist, and many other nations are not as ‘challenged’ with the truth as westerners are.

China is a very poor country. But it has more population than the Western world, more population than the African world, about the same or more than the Indian world, less population than the Muslim world, and perhaps most importantly, greater racial and cultural homogeneity than any other people other than the japanese – and that’s coupled with a ‘self righteous’ military, a history and culture of monolithic bureaucracy; no history whatsoever of what we call ‘rule of law’ or individual rights (sovereignty), or peerage; And a severe ‘chip on its shoulder’ for having been backward, and the loser of modern wars, and the poor choice of communism, which is contrary to the Chinese cultural ‘mythos’ that china is the ‘Center of the World’.
So while it is easy for china to ‘catch up from behind’ using authoritarianism, it is very hard to produce a constantly competitive, and constantly evolving economy given ‘chinese characteristics’. (WHich I won’t go into)
Can china use her central bureaucracy to concentrate capital in industry and military to achieve by threat, bribery, and obstruction, that which the west achieved by technical innovation, economic expansion, and ‘dragging the world out of ignorance, superstition, tyranny, poverty, and disease?’
Of course she can.
And there are more nations in this world that do not want meritocracy than do so. And china, russia, and islam, seem poised to conflict with the west, india, and christian africa.
I think the period of the west’s ideals has ended and the future belongs to non-market nations.
Democracy, Liberty, Innovation, Individualism, are western if not scandinavian (english) preoccupations.
The north sea people are, quite honestly, sons of cattle raiders, pirates, vikings, and warriors. It’s a materialistic heritage.
Most people had no such luxury.

No. the metric system was a mistake. “Human Scale” measurements are superior.
a thumb is an inch.
A foot is a foot.
A yard is an arm.
A mile is a thousand paces.
Fahrenheit is superior for temperature sensitivity.
The only reason for the metric system was to make calculations easier.

I’ve looked into this, and the answer is the same for any developing country: if you can produce a judiciary, police force, and military that will enforce property rights, moral (reciprocal) contracts, and where bureaucrats are open to suit by anyone for corruption, then eventually you will prosper.
Nigeria and Ghana at the very least have nothing but time holding them from becoming an advanced society. There are, in both countries, upper middle class (professionals), and those people are the ones who matter.

Invent a germ that rapidly kills rice and wheat. (Yes, there are people who think of how to do these things.) Or the equivalent that ‘eats’ hydrocarbons (petroleum products). In both cases, all governments and all civilizations would fall rather rapidly, and population would return to agrarian levels. In particular, a germ that would kill rice would kill billions cheaply and quickly, which would drive governments to revolt and war.

It is possible to transfer traits (we can do that) but genomes contain a great deal of error checking and redundancy, and proteins work together in a complex ‘cellular ecosystem’ where small variations can produce catastrophic consequences to the organism’s ability to survive. So to say we can cumulatively transfer traits between our species is probably true. But all attempts to cause inter-breeding have failed. (Yes, scientists, particularly one russian, have tried it.)
So trait-addition and modification is probably not only possible but may be beneficial (so that we can live in harmony with large mammals in particular by pedomorphic/neotenic evolution as we have done with dogs.) But inbreeding is too ‘primitive’ a method because in all but outlying cases, the genomes would consider the ovum ‘defective’.

THat’s a contradiction in terms. Left means either parasitism or free riding. Left libertarians promote free riding on all commons.

I think russia has more apologizing to do than any other existing country, so lets not get into this kind of thing. Either you are advancing one another’s economic interests in the present or you are not. There is nothing else to be discussed.
Blame your family and friends. Grownups conduct trades in a market. And if you are considering blame in international affairs you are too immature to be holding the discussion.

Yes, and very proud of it.
