Never seen a Chinese or Russian tourist travel to Western Europe to talk down on locals like that, despite being geo-political adversaries.
Bizarrely it is an Ashkenazi Jew who is supposedly an ally of the West who insists on arrogantly mocking Europeans.

Under apartheid, South Africa was richer than Poland. Apartheid ended in 1990 and it took just 5 years for South Africa to end up being poorer than Poland (which just came out of communism). Nowadays, South Africa is 3x poorer.

Correct. Belgium being one of the most ‘diverse’ countries has THE highest robbery rate in Europe.
Some in comments say it’s about poverty and not race. But the map clearly shows an East / West divide - the more diverse, the more robberies.
E.g. Serbia is a few times poorer
@TheEconomist
By ‘modern history’s greatest crime’ - are you referring to the 27 million Soviets, 20 million Chinese and 6 million Poles who died in WW2? Or are their lives less important than that of other groups 🤔

The stark contrast to Malaysia is interesting. It too is a multiethnic state - but runs positive discrimination in favor of it's lower IQ Malay majority.
Singapore was formed as a result of Malays (highly ethnocentric South Asian Muslims) wanting rid the Chinese minority from

The Brits choose to side with Albanians against Serbs. You reap what you sow. I think the first batch of Albanians were imported to the UK as 'refugees' from UK / NATO's bombing of Serbia.
I’m never apologizing for my Portuguese ancestors, who traveled vast oceans to distant lands and brought with them Christianity and civilization. I’m proud of my heritage, and you should be, too.

More impressive than any of the above was their ability to build and maintain a huge empire tens of thousands of miles away.

100% - Malays choose to prioritize preserving their country ethnically & religiously at the cost of greater economic growth - and it's completely their right to do so.

- Energy independence: large producer in natural gas

@minordissent
Below 90 IQ all bets are off. But in the 90-100 range, does trusting one’s own instincts not yield better results than trusting the regime’s ‘experts’?
@DeFi_Made_Here
I would take that further - IMO DeFi rates for stables should be multiple times higher than the risk-free TradFi rate (treasury) to compensate for the risks.
@CoinbaseDuck
@AerodromeFi
@MoonwellDeFi
Another way to look at it. DeFi insurance price Aerodrome risk at 9.4% and USDC risk at 3.94% = 13.34% total.
20% yield - 13.34% coverage = 6.6% yield + self custody efforts / risks.
1 month treasury pays 5.5% hassle and risk free.

I'm not going to shill for Islam, but they have a long standing influence in that region. Even the based LKY had to quasi-capitulate and include Islamic crescents in the Singaporean flag.
Malaysia will run into issues in ~10 years though, as they'll have run out of oil by then.
@Axel_bitblaze69
It worked best with looping. Supplied ~$10K on LRT looped for ~40D and got ~1M allocation. But this is yet another lending protocol with nothing unique, operating on L2s that people will leave post-airdrop. So didn't expect much in terms of m-cap.

Adding China to your chart, we see that the US massively outperformed the EU - but the EU outperformed China over 3x in the last decade.
Thus if the EU were 'economically irrelevant', then not sure what that makes China 🤔

Doesn't the study refers to 'higher IQ' rather than 'high IQ'? They defined higher IQ as anything in the top third range, so approx 110> IQ (aka midwits).
Midwits tend to have high levels of openness and fall for liberal political ideas hence not surprising that they're
