White people rule the world!

Why is is that Europeans developed before everyone else ?

Did Europeans really develop before everyone else? Why were the natives of the British Isles still a simple nomadic people who hadn't mastered farming at the same time that the Egyptians were building pyramids?

Absolutely. We were people living in hovels and ****heaps (quite literally, it seems), whilst the likes of continental Europe and a handful of other nations were insurmountably more developed in literature, the arts and society-- even politics.

Read some history books, my friend.

There have been many great civilizations in the past. The West may dominate presently, but it hasn't always been this way. Civilizations rise and fall over time.


For those who don't like reading, esp episode 1:

As the title suggests... By white people i mean rich Western countries.
Examples include USA, Canada & Australia. None of these countries are native to Europeans but they're now inhabited almost exclusively by them. Native populations were decimated and/or marginalised especially in the case of Australia.
Look at all the conflicts going on in the world right now. Europeans are either to blame for them or are profting from them sometimes both.
Why is is that Europeans developed before everyone else and did so at such a rapid rate?

Discuss.

Well there you have it, Europeans haven't "developed" (certainly not biologically) before anyone else, it's simply that at this current juncture in history Western Europe and North America happen to be the dominant force in the world because we control the most amount of capital. Give it another few decades and perhaps we'll be superseded by China and India.

This is historically not a new concept, since empires have risen and fell for millenia, it's simply "our" turn now to flourish. 2000 years ago these selfsame "progressive" Europeans were simply an outpost of the Roman Empire....mere colonies.

Even Europe's rise is relatively recent and short lived when you compare the past 500 years to thousands of years of domination by the Egyptians, Persians and Chinese, Europe pales into insignificance.

I have my friend, Guns Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond and there's a title by Ian Morris; Why the West Rules For Now, which i plan on acquiring soon.

Yes there have been great civilisations in the past. China should rule the world by now but they don't. The West right now is i think the most dominant EVER!! I mean there's nukes, the Internet and just loads of other seriously advanced stuff which permits then to literally rule the whole world. Past civilisations may have been powerful but their power never extended that far. E.g The British Empire which is/was arguably the farthest reaching and most powerful..

The China has nukes and the Internet, as do most East Asian countries, hell they're even more developed then European countries in some ways.


And Japan has MUCH more advanced technology then Europe (and even the USA in some cases), and they make most of the electronic stuff you own (as well as the Koreans)

The world would be screwed if China and Japan disappeared off the face of the Earth, and China is expected to be the most powerful country soon.

China's power is dependent on a largely subservient mass of individuals united under one banner. As China is forced to accept the inevitability of globalisation and as more ideals from the comparatively 'decadent' West seap through, they will lose the ability to effectively command and control their one resource, the masses.

And Japanese technology being superior to the rest of the worlds tends to be a bit of a myth. Sure, Japan has integrated technology into their everyday lives in an arguably more efficient manner, but compare their research into weapons tech with that of the USA and China, compare their research into fields that typically connote national strength, and you will see that it is China, and the Allied nations of the West respectively who command that title.

Yes I know China/USA have better weapons then Japan.

My point is white people don't rule the world like the OP believes, because East Asia have just as much power.

And the worlds most powerful man is mixed race at the moment, which disproves his point more.

Western thinking does.

O RLY?
