at the risk of being incendiary, i'm with chickenmaster on this one.actually, being incediary is cool. it's fire and stuff beavis. guess what? stevie gould is dead and denett's succeeding in killing his ideas. evolution is a bitch sometimes. you can call something inferior if it is. the populations of those countries are consistently and measurably inferior to japan, parts of china and pretty much anywhere you find caucasians. in fact, some of those nations probably aren't capable of creating and sustaining a civilization as modern as post-industrial england. the global south is 150 years behind in nutrition and put kids to work instead of developing the connections in your brain associated with higher-order and critical thinking in the formative window that closes in the early teens. so what you have is a population that consistently scores disturbingly close to what we consider handicapped on every kind of test designed to measure ability and iq. cultural bias is bullshit here-the ethnic group that is tied with east. european jews at the top of the food chain are from japan and parts of china. most of those countries exhibit consistently lower brain masses than the superior orientals and westerners.

population growth in these countries is possible because we've shared advances that take care of infection, potable water, and famine resultant of primitive farming techniques. so you've got a bunch of people whose survival rate skyrockets while their basic understanding of shit is basically the same. outside interference with antibiotics and such basically hijacks natural development. populations historically grew as they solved what was killing them on their own and generally progressed in art and science. those are populations that without interference would be fractions of what they are--because they're not developed enough to survive at the rate of say, france. i'm sorry those people are dead--but there's something wrong with giving nukes and penicillin to those a century behind who developed them. if you believe in sorcery and sweatshops, i don't think you're kosher to multiply like rabbits or end the world.
