It has been established that East Asians have a higher average IQ than Europeans. It goes something like this: Europeans - 100 East Asians - 105 Ashkenazi Jews - 110 All other races are around 90 or below. Yet despite their advantage in intelligence, East Asians have not been as successful as Europeans in terms of technological progress, military success or cultural achievement. At least not in the last 2000 years.

A fascinating, lucid and insightful piece as always Windsor. Two questions I'd like to clarify with you. The first is why do you think the future of East Asian evolutionary psychology will continue to be in the United States and Europe. Are the systems their enough alone to change their conformist mindsets/culture?
Second, I don't understand what you're trying to say here: "There is also the possibility that Asians have less variation than Europeans, and thus less geniuses. I think there may be some evidence for this, after all, they all look the same. But I doubt its really true." Who looks all the same? How is that relevant to IQ and geniuses?
