Looks, hands down. It doesn't help that its a rich post industrial country either. Brainwork benefits other people more than it benefits oneself, IMO. You are an engineer. Build a bridge? Hundreds of thousands benefit. The effects are diffuse. You? You get a few tens of thousands more in...

Asians are shorter, smaller, and (in the case of E.Asians, though not S.E Asians) more ectomorphic. The line is drawn with genetics.

Bullies ruined me. It makes me sure a multiracial society is impossible except in name (Im asian and smaller than the average white).

No culture 'fails' as long as its members, on average, reproduce their numbers. The test of a 'fail' would be competitive evolution - how...

I dont see why it cant be Darwinian. A man who invests more in his wife, if she is promiscuous, ends up genetically being weeded out. So all that needs to evolve is an awareness of how much promiscuity is around him. If its a high figure, men simply treat their wives as live in prostitutes for...
