    How Do We Undo 100,000 Years of Evolution?

    “Paradoxically, the coastline of Africa—18,950 miles (30,500 km) in length—is shorter than that of Europe, because there are few inlets and few large bays or gulfs. Off the coasts of Africa a number of islands are associated with the continent.

    Source: https://the-biggest.net/other/quick-...coastline.html

    This means trade and commerce are hindered. Similar with rivers: lots of waterfalls and rivers don’t meet, like our Ohio and Mississippi rivers.

    In other words, the natural infrastructure is terrible.

    Then: Mosquitoes and tse tse flies carry malaria everywhere, predators and animals that can’t be domesticated dominated the continent. The Sahara cut off Africa from the outside world. In short, Africa = ghetto continent

    Humans beings what they are, the smart ones wandered off long ago, to Egypt, India, China, Europe, and so on. The ones who didn’t mind living in the above conditions or didn’t consider the effort worthwhile stayed in the Neolithic Paradise.

    Now our liberals expect us to undo 100,000 years (or more), of damage done the ‘disadvantaged’, by being woke and begging forgiveness on our knees. Or spending trillions on government programs.

    It won’t work and will just lead to destruction.

    For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
    Shall be my brother...”

    If someone grows up in a ghetto, they are disadvantaged? Would you agree?

    What would you call a place wracked by malaria, jungle instead of arable land, all sorts of poisonous snakes and many predators, hot as hell all the time, diseases rampant, little communication with the outside world? I’d call that a ghetto and a terrible one at that.

    Now people who live in such a place for thousands of years...are they disadvantaged?

    Sure. But being disadvantaged isn't the same as inferiority. Also, the argument breaks down because Africa hasn't always been a chithole. I'll remind you that France, Belgium, and the UK fuking raped the place. The Congo remains, to this day, one of the richest countries in terms of resources. It's actually insane. Africa is getting back on track slowly. You see countries like Nigeria really taking off. In time, things will be different, assuming some Europeans don't decide to fuk everything over again.

    Covid has been an issue, but I think in time, there will be a lot of positive change in Africa.

    Well you know we could be funding that chit but no one on the R side wants to tax the rich because that's a "Libruhl" agenda.

    And the ones on the D side that do are too woke to have any real standards in school. It's sad.

    What bothers me is how dead nuclear engineering is in America. It's just sad. The way you secure power in this world, figuratively and literally, is using nuclear technology. And we should be researching fusion reactors aggressively. IDK why we aren't planning for the future.

    Africa is a resource-rich continent. So the question should be if their natural infrastructure is so terrible, why haven't they used some of that natural wealth to dig canals to connect rivers? Why not build irrigation systems to bring water to some of the drier parts of the continent? Why not build a highway system to link countries together in order to facilitate trade? And before the racist answers "because they're black," why didn't the colonial powers make these upgrades to better exploit their possessions? We were doing a lot of this in America way back when, so it's not a question that Europe couldn't do it.

    The main reason is endless war. The Congo is so valuable that political instability results in constant warfare over territory, for example.

    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

    in my home country after people started leaving abroad in the 90s and learned new skills, some that have come back have put those new things to use and have also invested in it and the country looks much better today then when I lived there in the 90s.

    Doesnt Africa have the highest fertility rates? Maybe a good chunk that have immigrated abroad, maybe if some return back and teach the rest new skills that they've acquired or investments?

    Nigeria is projected to have over 700m people by 2100 and also the most populated city like close to 80m. Insane!!

    Mostly. It's literally the exit out.
    The Sinai Peninsula of Egypt is part of the Asian continent. Being the crossroads between 2 continents, also close to a 3rd continent and having the world's longest river certainly had a huge role in its earliest settlements, before the earliest dynasties. It would've been likely only a little bit desert back then, mostly lush land like most of the rest of the Sahara was.

    Doesnt Africa have the highest fertility rates? Maybe a good chunk that have immigrated abroad, maybe if some return back and teach the rest new skills that they've acquired or investments?

    Nigeria is projected to have over 700m people by 2100 and also the most populated city like close to 80m. Insane!!

    Projections more than 10 years out are worthless, always way too high.
    China's population was supposed to keep growing until 2030. That's over, likely reversed a few years ago. Indian women had 6 kids in the 1960s, Mexican women had 7. Now down to or slightly below replacement level, so their populations will level off in 25-30 years, then reverse. Same for Nigeria, but a couple decades later. It probably won't see 600m population, let alone 700m+. Only thing that's going to make fertility rates go up in these places is major war.
    Light weight! Light weight baby!!!!

And before the racist answers "because they're black," why didn't the colonial powers make these upgrades to better exploit their possessions? We were doing a lot of this in America way back when, so it's not a question that Europe couldn't do it.
    Europeans DID do a lot of infrastructure: for ex, the Belgians built a couple of hundred kilometers of rail, to get around the waterfalls near the coast of the DRC. They also built a road to traverse the whole country; it’s now damaged beyond repair.

    Worst thing the Europeans did was divide the continent into countries with little regard for the tribes. Suddenly tribes who hated each other were put in charge of one country when the Europeans left. Civil wars followed.

    But we in it shall be rememberèd—
    We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
    For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
    Shall be my brother...”
