Date: October 14th, 2017 11:29 PM Author: Nubile kitchen police squad Mexico has been independent since 1850s without any major upheaval or foreign intervention, escaped unscathed from WWII, has a very friendly rich neighbor so it doesnt even have to spend on defense, very fertile land with lot of natural resources like oil etc
and still its an utter shithole with anarchy and total lawlessness.

This has nothing to do with wanting to be benefactors for the unfortunate and everything to do with maintaining a permanent servant class for the aristocracy.

So OP just anticipating that argument from the start.

Yes, because if one country has a higher GDP than a neighboring country, the ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION is that the country with the higher GDP must be racially superior because of their higher IQ. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that, for example, the United States has more miles of navigable rivers than the rest of the world combined, allowing us to ship manufactured goods more cheaply than any other country in the world. Or the abundant coal deposits near these navigable rivers, meaning that energy was never an issue. Or abundant fertile land combined with the Homestead Act, allowing any lower class people access to land, preventing the creation of a permanent underclass. Or early investment in higher education, leading to what is still far and away the best university system in the world. Or stable multiparty democracy that has been more or less uninterrupted for 200+ years.
Don't like those arguments? Then explain to me why Costa Rica is so much wealthier than its Central American neighbors. Or what Botswana is better developed than almost any country in sub-Saharan Africa. Racially there is no difference whatsoever between a Costa Rican and a Nicaraguan or someone from Botswana versus Zimbabwe. It appears that geography/natural resources and good government/stable institutions can make a country wealthier even if neighboring countries are racially identical. Imagine that. |

You're the ones claiming that IQ differences lead to differences in democracy/education/GDP/whatever. If you're making that claim, the burden is on you to prove it. I can't prove a negative. I can just as easily claim that the U.S. is wealthier because space aliens are secretly stealing money from the Mexican treasury. If you can't prove that I'm wrong, then I'm right, huh?

Go take logic 101. Please. I sincerely hope you're not a lawyer, because I don't know how the hell you managed to pass the LSAT.
Let me diagram this for you: OP asserts that population IQ explains why Mexico is poorer. I listed some reasons that Mexico might be poorer aside from population IQ. You want to refute that argument by saying that population IQ is the reason the U.S. has democracy and better universities. That was YOUR claim, so the burden is on YOU to prove it, dumbass. And even if I grant that higher population IQ explains these things (which I think is ridiculous claim, but that's beside the point), unless you think that higher population IQ leads to more coal and more navigable rivers, you haven't refuted my main point. So please, learn how to make a rational argument if you want to accuse libs of rejecting racist arguments based on dogma. This has nothing to do with dogma and everything to do with the fact that there are numerous logical fallacies in the argument. |

Date: October 15th, 2017 7:49 PM Author: electric menage Jfc you're not so bright are you? Arguments aren't decided by a game of trying to jockey so that it looks like the other guy's claim was first and therefore the burden is on him to prove it. We don't proceed the basis that whenever somebody introduces a claim the opposite is presumed true.
I won't even point out that you claimed investment in education is independent of population IQ in your post -- which was prior to my post -- and I doubted it, so on your analysis we should assume I am right until you prove that it is. Anyone with an IQ over 85 can see that I'm not to be assumed to be right just because I went second. Are you going to paint me a picture now of how the OP went first and although I don't agree with his argument I'm not allowed to doubt your specific subclaims about investment in education being independent of population IQ are true because somehow his OP is "attributed" to me and so I went first and all of your subclaims, not matter how tangential to OP, are protected by "priority privilege" and therefore the burden is always on me to refute any of your subclaims, or do you understand how fucking dumb all of that is?
All that's happened here is you described some factors that you allege -- without evidence -- are unconnected to population IQ, and I've doubted you're right about that. There is no logical fallacy in play. If you say neither of us has offered evidence and you're going to go on believing you're right that is fine. I'll do the same. Making or doubting a claim with no evidence is not a "fallacy," although it may not be compelling to the listener. Have you ever studied logic?
As I said in my original post in this thread, I don't support the OP's argument I just doubt the dumb shit you said. If you actually think that's a logical fallacy may god have mercy on your soul.
I already responded separately to your dumb shit about rivers. |

Date: October 15th, 2017 6:29 PM Author: Concupiscible Goyim Patrolman You clearly know nothing about development economics, so maybe you should simply stay out of this conversation. The number of navigable rivers in a country is actually one of the best predictors of the development of that country. It's much cheaper to transport large quantities of goods via ship than it is via truck/train/plane/any other option. Arguably the single biggest reason the U.S. became so wealthy around the time of the Industrial Revolution was because the U.S. had plenty of coal to fire power plants and navigable rivers to sell our manufactured goods. You could mass produce steel in Pittsburgh and ship it all the way to New Orleans (and then to anywhere in the world) entirely by boat, so it was much cheaper to manufacture steel in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world. Or if you look at the economic development of China, the coastal provinces and the cities near major rivers are prosperous, whereas the inland provinces are still basically 3rd World shitholes. Or look at Africa, where one of the big barriers to economic development is the fact that the entire continent has essentially no navigable rivers. If it were cheaper to manufacture goods in Mexico, there is a good chance that Mexico would have become wealthier during industrialization as well, and poor Mexicans today would have access to more high-paying jobs that don't involve selling drugs. But nobody was going to manufacture steel in Mexico when it could be done much more cheaply in the U.S. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3764482&forum_id=2#34449661) |

the mexican revolution in the early 20th century lasted 10 years and wiped out what shitty infrastructure existed before then.
post-revolutionary government commissioned a lot of public works a nationalized major industries like pemex and cemex, but were remarkably inept and corrupt. also violent toward their own citizens (see tlatelolco massacre).
u.s. market for drugs gave rise to horrific violence in mexican cities (drugs passing from the south to the north).
i think there are issues with mexican agriculture being able to compete with u.s. farmers, leading to entire rural areas being abandoned, though i don't think this is the case anymore since a lot of produce in u.s. markets comes from mexico. |

You present me a nameless country/province that is not extremely resource rich like Qatar or Saudis and I can tell you how successful it will be based on these three stats
1) Average IQ
2) Political/economic system
3) social cohesion
Even high IQ countries could fail because of bad political/economic systems. Ex: look at East Germany, China when it was completely Maoist
