Why does every great thinker seem to come outside of Africa?

>> No.16126123

>>16126109
Eurocentrism. All great african works were lost during the colonization of the continent, and no country had a great enough thinker to have the education or chance to live off writing.

>>16126123
Obviously not true.

>>16126109
The truth is that Africa and the Americas just didn't have a literary/intellectual tradition that Europe and Asia developed. Most probably due to the lower IQ's.

Anon, at least be a bit more honest with yourself, they never made any to begin with.

It's pretty funny that these kind of off-the-cuff invented platitudes will suffice for historical explanations over the next immediate cultural phase.

Is this map supposed to prove that subnormal IQs make for the best literary and cultural developments of the West?

You are conflating the mean iq with the tail end of the few

While I agree that Tolkien is utter shit, he doesn't outweigh a Blixen, let alone a Ptolemy or ibn Tufail.

>>16126511
The mean IQ of any population is always 100 or else the test is broken. And I didn't conflate the pic with literary value, the anon posting it on a board dominated by the Greeks and Irish did. Further, it does look like every literary great country is below 100.

Holy shit, even the bits of Italy that actually produce works are grey instead of blue. I only looked at Russia at first, but it looks like even for strong philosophy countries the high nineties is the cut off for doing anything right.
