Because, prior to that, Arabs were building the foundation for the industrial revolution through chemistry, math, etc. Do you not understand that technological growth is incremental/over time, and not a sudden "aha, I have invented the internet out of rocks" kind of thing?

Are these the same Arabs that basically killed tens of millions of black slaves?

Because it was ruled by despotic monarchs who'd rather live lives of excessive luxury than 'fund' anything useful. This isn't a difficult concept to grasp.

It might be a surprise to you, but great inventions come from the support of the private sector, there is evidence showing that govement funding is less desired

I don't think it was a race thing. Whites won because thinkers like John Locke, Adam Smith and Voltaire won in their societies. The economic and personal freedom resulted in the wealth. Whites historically are no friend to liberty just like all other people. It's been a fluke.

In the history of our species, it's a relatively recent phenomenon, not a fluke. Important difference.

Because gold can't run a steam powered machine. Honestly it's way more complicated than just money stefan
