White people do not 'invent' things, they merely accidentally stumble upon new technology while trying to find new ways to kill each other in their barbaric wars. That is how western civilization advanced quicker than the east, not because of some inherent superiority in the white man's genes, but rather his insatiable lust for blood and conquest. Us Asians are the true master race, we invent for the greater good, we delicately construct new and innovative ways to improve the lives of our kin patiently, learning from our mistakes and crafting technology of incredible magnitude. And our inventions were the foundation of all the world's 'great' civilizations. From agriculture to medicine the east has influenced everyone and everything in our modern world, without us there would be no civilization

You fuckers can't invent shit, you steal and copy everything we have, the only innovation is making it shittier. FFS you people are so nosy you actually rifle through our recycling just to learn stuff.

Why are asians monkeys so mad that we brought them out of the darkness with our technology?

>> No.4293344

asians have invented some things, but in general their climate is more providential than that of the west, hence lower exigency (hence, less need to innovate). necessity is the mother of invention.

also, due to geographical isolation and relative ethnic homogeneity and other cultural factors, china is more groupthink. to excel or to stand out is frowned upon, whereas in the west we celebrate successful exceptions.

perhaps this has something to do with the internal disparities of intelligence (ie. a large dependent class in the west requires strong leaders, whereas if everybody in the east is relatively competent, then nobody will [need to] be exceptionally so)

einstein spoke of originally having contempt for authority, and then fate made him an authority himself. without the ability to seriously question what we've been told, little progress will be made.

that said, everything in good time in its right place. as technology progresses to a point where humanity can repose, the asian model of maintenance makes more sense; that is, without the same level of privation/exigency, the western model based on will and advancement seems less necessary. granted, time will tell how long such comforts can be maintained by an inflexible system (and how will growth be managed, if at all?). hardship motivates and success is an anaesthetic. without the spirit and the will that built the system, how long will the machinery remain in place? everything goes in cycles.

mfw paper, gunpowder, compass, printing

>> No.4293399

>>4293367

OPs main points were that the west invents by accident and the west is especially bloody

the first claim is ridiculous. things don't get invented by accident; sure, there is trial and error, but there is also knowledge and intent; reconciliation of the math/physics/chemistry known and the motivation to design something new for greater use, etc.

the second claim is equally absurd in light of the great leap forward, the mongols, etc.

also, the foundation of civilisation was agriculture, which developed first in the middle/near east.

and papyrus preceded asian paper

>> No.4293425

>>4293399

No. He is saying that European inventions are derived from, and for the purpose of, warfare.

The papyrus plant only grows in Egypt. The invention of paper is globally applicable.

>> No.4293453

>>4293425

well, if that's what he's saying, then he's simply wrong. europeans/westerners focus on peace and war as is appropriate. most inventions are peacetime inventions.

was the car designed for warfare? was the telescope designed for warfare? how about the internet?

it's a stupid generalisation and the facts speak for themselves. that, and my point about the "great leap forward" and the bloodlust/terror campaigns of the mongols

>> No.4293471

>>4293453

dishwasher? lightning rod? traffic lights? were traffic lights for war? dental floss? doorbell? sewing machine? jackhammer? clothespin? what about a pencil eraser? electric stove? escalator?

I'm just on american inventions up to the civil war; you will notice during that war there were weapons invented, as one might expect; similar to the fact that we invented new weapons in both world wars, including the atomic bomb.
