No racial differences are required, just the environmental conditions that developed in the pre-agricultural era.

Educate yourself.

Just read the first pages of Guns, Germs, and Steel... What the fuck did I just read? Who was gun? What is the author trying to say? I don't think I'll ever understand.

Imagine for a moment, that one's nation was able to deal entirely within their borders. Having every resource one would ever need located within their walls, so no trade is needed between other nations. Yet threats from other nations is a very real possibility, so military might is essential. Food is taken care of, as is housing and water.
The main concern would be defense of said resources, or ability to expand.

My question is, what economic system would flourish, all the while allowing for a strong state, able to deal with other nation's threats?
Market economy? Planned? Natural?

Or would an Open economy hold more benefit? Trading with potential future enemies, while allowing our own state to specialize in a certain area more, and buying what we are less skilled in manufacturing.

This thread is almost entirely composed of uncited generalizations.

I'm going to repeat this here post, because it seems I didn't cram enough logical fallacies and insults to gain your attention, which I'm starting to consider worthless.

>What I find interesting is the people who defend the scientific studies with racist implications while continually using the word niggers. This leads me to believe that these people were already racist before actually having a legitimate cause for disliking blacks. Or, a black person wronged them and then they hastily looked up all sorts of nasty things in a vain attempt to put together their shattered ego.

>To anyone who defends racist theories while using racist lexicon:

>You're automatically a hypocrite because you were racist before actually learning the knowledge that lead you to your conclusions, and at one point were just as deluded and ignorant as the people you argue against.

>To those who defend racist theories but don't use racist lexicon:

>Not as aggravating as the former, but try and counter look up the theories that contradict you and attack those instead of constantly re-asserting your original evidence.

>To both groups:

>If you're white or east asian, chances are you're even more biased than the "liberal hippie scum" you hate, because your belief implies your superiority as a person. This may explain why you're so fucking volatile and start whipping out ad-hominem attacks when somebody calls you a racist.

Most of this work deals with non-Europeans, but Diamond's thesis sheds light on why Western civilization became hegemonic: "History followed different courses for different peoples because of differences among peoples' environments, not because of biological differences among peoples themselves." Those who domesticated plants and animals early got a head start on developing writing, government, technology, weapons of war, and immunity to deadly germs.

Anyone who wants to actually understand this should read this book.

everyone in this thread should read that book
