Mongolians dominate here because they bring together the autistic mental organization of NW Europeans with a superior 105 East Asian IQ, a combination whose effectiveness in memory competitions was recently demonstrated by the half-Japanese, half-German James Holzhauer.
It may not a coincidence that the Mongols are responsible for the greatest per capita military achievement in history.
The most spectacular military conquests of the last 2,000 years were accomplished by the Germanics, the Turks, the peninsular Arabs, Mongols, and NW Europeans; all ethnos who consumed substantially more dairy than the people they conquered.
The wide ranging conquests of the Vikings and the Arabs were accompanied by surprisingly impressive literary achievements: The Eddas, the Icelandic Sagas, the Koran. The frontal lobe is a Swiss Army Knife, useful for many tasks, but mostly stabbing things.
Nerds may not be perfect in many ways, but one thing you can never take away from them is that when they get together in groups they’re extraordinarily good at killing people.
NW Europeans are not smarter than other Eurasians. It wasn’t an Englishman that invented paper, gunpowder, or the water mill. There were early signs of a military superiority in the far ranging conquests of the Vikings and the French in the Holy Land, but nothing overwhelming.
But from the moment Gutenberg invented the printing press the rest of the world was doomed. The easy spread of literacy allowed the mental advantages of autistic milk drinkers to become apparent in the formation of scientific societies.
Jews produce more high quality science per capita than any other group in the world, but only NW Europeans could have built up the nerdy critical mass to invent science itself and once they did their superior rote memories gave them an insurmountable advantage.
That was my long Twitter thread. Got at least two more to go, one on West African creativity and the other an attempt to explain the autism epidemic.
