Since so many of you seem willing to buy this argument, consider the following...if you compared Western society in the 1300s or 1400s to Arabic society using Watson's criteria...you would be forced to come to the conclusion that Arabs were intellectually superior to whites.
Arabic societies at that time were more advanced in almost every way to white societies, which were mostly ignorant and ravaged by famine and disease. Most of the technological innovation, as well as the military power, came out of the Arab world. In other words, shit changes and the dominant society of today will not be the one of tomorrow. We are already seeing a shift with the relative decline of the West and the ascent of China and India.
- I could buy than many poeple are smarter than white people. Power doesn't mean intelligence.jfletcher
- My point is, if you looked at an average European during that time, they would probably have seemed pretty dumbukit
- Whereas today, you're average Westerner is probably better educated. So there's a good argument that a lot of this is dependent on the overall state and resources of a society rather than set in stoneukit
