    Cultures come and go with the tides. What's considerably more important is individuals. Since 99.99...% of everything good that has ever happened on this planet [in the human sphere] has been brought to us by individual human innovation and compassion, one must consider that whatever culture supports these qualities in individuals the greatest...is best.

    Based on the above, one would not have to do a detailed analysis to determine that the American experiment has led to the greatest examples of human innovation and compassion and therefore the culture that gave rise to such should be examined in great detail.

    What will be found are the basics...God, Virtue, Justice, Freedom, and Sound Money. You will find that when each of these attributes started heading south, so did the U.S. .

    Well you could always ask Bernie Madoff, Sam Bankman-Fried, Michael Milken or even the Winklevoss twins.

    It makes perfect sense. It is describing people who only want to see the good in their race and not the bad.

    Is European culture superior? I guess that depends on your values and priorities. What is important to you. Also there is no such thing as European culture or African culture. The people in Europe have vastly different cultures.

    The problem with that theory is that the people killing aboriginal women are the aboriginal men.

    You missed the point I was making. People move not because of culture, but for other reasons such as weather. A female who is middle class, educated, etc, may move to India, the southern part like Madras for instance more so than Finland simply because of the weather. Hence, your choice you were attempting to portray fell dramatically.

    Cultures are different, not superior to one another. But for moving from one country to another, it has more to do with weather, location, job availability, etc, not culture.

    Or Epstein or Weinstein. Maybe Morton can read about those ppl and see why white Jewish Europeans are successful.

    I see. So, the OP is about cultures in global scale, but it fails to recognize the fact that there are many cultures within the Western culture.

    PS Culture doesn't make a state authoritative, politics do.

    Yep, white Jewish Europeans are successful, but Blacks are successful too, here are some examples:

    BLM leader Shalomyah Bowers earned millions of dollars:
    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk...-executive-stealing-10-million-dono-rcna46481

    BLM co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors earned luxury apartments':
    https://nypost.com/2021/04/10/inside-blm-co-founder-patrisse-khan-cullors-real-estate-buying-binge/

    George Floyd who was convicted of eight crimes, served four years in prison for a 2007 aggravated robbery in a home invasion - still his lost of life in the hands of police was was valued as $27 million:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd

    OJ beats the odds - was found not guilty of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, even when DNA pointed to him as a murder.

    Here a Black man won a boxing match with 67 year old Chinese woman:

    --------------------------------------------
    You cannot convince idiots, so instead of arguing - agree with them, making their ideas even more stupid, because arguing with a fool proves there are two.

    I think the culture that produces the most advancement of people in the culture, its pretty easy to endorse one over another.

    Asian culture as an example.

    I would give the title to Asian Americans. They are doing better than anyone else is economically.

    I've been informed by a moderator that your response is flamebait and spam. Therefore if you can't disprove my comments in a mature manner then I'll have to report your constant bullying tactic.

    So a superior culture in your opinion is the one with the most money.

    Not in my books.

    Indeed!

    Italy for example has several vastly different cultures alone

    What we call "asians" is a big group of a lot of different cultures, some doing better than others, but, in total, certainly they are successful in our system.

    And as often goes hand in hand with success, they are trending Republican.

    QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED: Why Are Asian Americans Voting Republican in Large Numbers?

    [​IMG]

    'Recent elections have seen a dramatic swing by Asian Americans to the Republican Party. Much like Hispanic voters switching to the GOP, the reasons why are due to a variety of factors, not the least of which has been the radicalization of the Democrat Party.'

    Well, yes, there is that, too.

    'Asian Americans have nearly doubled their GOP vote in the last two elections. Just 18% of Asians voted Republican in 2016. But that number skyrocketed to 30% in 2020 and 32% in 2022.'

    And what will 2024 look like?

    When folks happily form families, produce children, and enjoy success, they tend to turn toward the rights securing liberty minded GOP, which is why too many Dems work against happy successful child producing marriages.

    Unless we go back to hunter/gathering and an old fashioned barter system, money currently rules everything so the ones with the most money are the most superior (not in the eyes of God or anything, but in general)
    More money = more power
    More power = domination over other groups
    I don't think this is the way it SHOULD be but it is currently the way. IMO of course

    Guess I'm going to have to ask you to define superior.

    I mean, who is more superior, Francis ngannou or Paris Hilton?

    Fyi, ithink the money = power equation is a bluff. Nature is the most powerful and it has no money.
