dude has some interesting theories. I'm sure it will interest people here. basically he thinks that racial inequality is mostly just based on the geography of where people settled. 'europeans' had better/more crops and domesticated animals, and therefore their society progressed faster

opinions? (yes that's 3hrs of documentary, but it is good)

I looked it up from a list of "Must Read Books" in KTL

@ me reading a book, when there's a documentary out.


playing ps3 + learning = documentary

Reading....

I'll take the documentary anytime, a lot faster too

More interesting is how he explained that the geography of Europe promoted nationalities and the competition between.

I think that, more than anything, it was the competition between Europe's nations that led to their accelerated growth during the last 600 years.

I thought the documentary was weak

I had to read this in my technology class. good stuffs

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

My theory is that europeans had to depend on technology more to survive. With the harsher climate, this lead to more emphasis on utilizing technology for all kinds of things.

Good documentary, and its a good read props...
