Anon, half of Africa is some flavor of Christian, not to mention the entirety of the Americas.

Do the residents of Gensokyo know about any places that exist outside of Japan like the US or Africa?

sure, i can see that this tendency exists, and i can see irrational disgust and irritability being associated with low iq behavior
higher iq people in the west tend to be a lot of things actually, they are more likely to be left leaning, anti-racism and anti-nationalism, but i think they are also more group-think oriented and will adapt their views to a to them perceived consensus in society and their social circle, and i am the opposite of someone prone to group-think, i feel like i am a lot more free in my thinking and readily can even accept radical ideas as better if it makes more logical sense or i see as advantageous to adapt in certain situations, but fundamentally it's a value question to me and if i say the persistence of certain ethnic groups is important to me, then not liking race mixing is not irrational disgust, but a consequence of my value system and btw i think what i also do is that i more readily accept my natural programming, whereas other people try to oppose it, i accept the fact that i feel better among people who look like myself and want to live in a neighborhood with people who look like me and not people from north africa or the middle east, whereas a generic 'high-iq' westerner might scold themselves for thinking such evil thoughts essentially brainwashing themselves into views then associated with high iq

he's going the opposite way and arguing there's some secret competence factor in which blacks and hispanics exceed whites and asians despite having lower IQ by a standard deviation. kinda confused that africa and latin america are such shitholes.

Most cool beetles are from tropical countries like SEA, south america and africa.

The current middle easterners are a result of centuries of interbreeding after the muslim expansion. Prehistoric and ancient middle east and north africa were white.

Glad to have you here.

If you're speaking of this from the scientific method, such as "x causes y, but only if a does b.", then I think it's more on the limitations of how your question is worded, and you're trying to approach this from the aspect that the "other" has certain rules and logic it follows, and you're trying to figure out what the rules are. If that is the case, then you come to this from a good angle-the joke of "creature killed your whole family because you didn't place a walnut on the greenest leaf from the pine tree in the western-most corner of your room on the day of the wombat of the long-extict flumbo calendar", while a flanderized joke, does hold a basis of "They have rules that may not make sense to you, but follow them for best results". (Mainly of the "fairy" type of creature, but semantics)

And if you approach this from the aspect of the actual scientific "an action must be observed to be properly studied and recorded, while following a set of rules and logic that follow the functioning of our own, known world", then while that WILL get you to a destination or end result that can work for you, the end result will be lacking and missing important aspects of the original scenario; sort of the "cut off your nose to spite your face" thing. And at some point with messing with all of this, you'll come back around full circle to "wait a minute, magic actually does exist?!" mindset. Just look at the quantum shenanigans.

But with that said, there's nothing wrong with it at all, and it will ultimately prove to be something you realize you don't care for and you'll move on to other things, or you'll gain a deeper and more inciteful understanding of WHY and HOW they work. Patchouli says it best, even though she's but the one that said it first because Zun made it up, but "magic and science are the same". They both act as ways for us to comprehend the existence of us and around us, and only in the modern day have we drawn a distinction between the two so fully that it has brought upon the very things we discuss here about a separation of fantasy and the mundane.

As for the schizophrenia topic, one thing I remember reading about was that it's only in the Western world that the "voices" manifest as harmful, while in places like certain parts of Africa, where ancestor worship is still an underlying basis of society, do the "voices" manifest as helpful guidance from deceased family members. The same scenario can be seen in the "helpful stranger" that seems to happen in life or death situations, where people report "there was another person that helped me out of the spot, but then they disappeared on me" once they are no longer in mortal danger.

people from africa are too busy trying to survive, neets can only exist in first world counties

>>46912049
I'm not from africa but I wish I was. I'm white and I exclusively search blacked doujins.

any neets from africa?

I thought he was a south american monkey. But africa makes sense too.

Yes they're all retired warriors from the same division, they won't share stories (all is classified) but they do like to play Risk and Campaign for North Africa during lunch break as a team building exercise, so you can join them there.

Not quite. Crocodiles exist in central and insular america, africa and south and east asia. Alligators and caimans are mostly a florida+amazonas thing, and don't forget the gavial, which only lives in india.

>>46815564
well, the only weird thing is that she's from africa instead of north america.

Japan as a whole is dying. The whole world outside of Africa, India and Indonesia is to some degree, just not as noticeably fast as Japan right now.

so they can say homosexuality is african but when i say africa is gay then that's suddenly a problem?

they expanded their empire throughout east africa through slavery and conquest, they should also be nuked
the somalis enslaved them though, so they should be nuked as well
