I'd agree with this if Europe hadn't spent pretty much the entirety of post-enlightenment 'rationality' at war with each other, committing genocides, enslaving populaces and perpetuating an economic system that will destroy the planet. Other than that, you're spot on yet again.
Two terrible events improved European intelligence. First was the Black Death. Second was hundreds of years of religious warfare, which killed off people unable to think allegorically.https://twitter.com/Partisangirl/status/1082563764023484417 …

There were Christian Crusades inside Europe to convert the pagans. It is a less mentioned history which is embarrassing for Europe. It was not magically spread by the Roman Empire. Anyway since life was shit back then I doubt any of it made any difference anyway.

The third will be... Complete collapse of the EU? Radical Islam? Hyperinflation? Nuclear bomb? Monetary collapse? Discovery of life on other planets? Average, ordinary people, simply wake up?

Europeans were already amply developed during the Greeks and the Romans, up to 4.000 years ago.

I always thought that those who survived the plague had a genetic resistance, rather than some completely unknown Gene for allegorical thinking! I don't think the plague only affected north west Europe either.

I think the smarter people had better hygiene. Only a theory.

You're forgetting back when the climate changed like in the 12th-13th with massive crop failure. Child mortality was like 70% and life expectancy was mid-20's to early-30's until Europeans learned to adapt. Those who gained a clue thrived while those who didn't died off.

You certainly seem to attract the attention of your fair share of the ill informed, however, they are more typical of normal humanity with intellect at the top of your bellcurve as that was sufficient for their environment. Stef, you come across as unnecessarily arrogant.
