Does that mean all whites should migrate back to Europe to preserve their culture and way of life ?

Culture is a product of genetics, anyway.
I think you may have a point there!
Agree. Culture is downstream from race.
Indeed. I've spent my entire life pondering and researching these matters. I'm certain that culture is determined by genetics primarily and has an influence from the local environment. Environment directs certain cultural activities or cultural emphasis, such as primarily eating seafood because a group of people live on a chain of islands. Another example would be a focus on sea gods because you live near the sea but people of the same racial or even ethnic group who live in the mountains focus on a sky god, and farm. These would be examples of environmental influence on culture. But these are about the only examples of culture being primarily influenced by environment rather than genetics.
@@BaltimoresBerzerker Yep, culture does not come from thin air, people collectively 'create' culture, and the type of culture depends on the innate qualities of the people.

Japanese reserchers in 2005 said 90% of all inventions were invented by Europeans with the British inventing 55%.
Because the Japanese were biased. Actually the distribution of inventions across Europe ist pretty uniform with a few hights here and there (yes, e.g. in Britain), but 55% is flat BS.
@@rizzochuenringe669 That is complete rubbish, have you ever looked at a list of the things invented in the UK? Off the top of my head:
1. The internet.
2. The Television.
3. The steam, triple expansion and significant parts of the motor engine.
4. Practically everything to do with shipping, most modern machinery, standardisation, metallurgy.
5. The computer.
I could honestly go on all afternoon meanwhile the Americans have invented GPS and the KKK.
@@joesmalley397Listing things invented in the UK does nothing to answer what proportion of imventions come from elsewhere. It's simplistic to try to count imventions in any case because they're put together from components that were developed over wide ranges of space and time. The internet was mainly the work of Darpa in the US, though with independent and collaborative developments in the UK and France. The television was part of a long process of developments involving scientists from France and Russia especially. The steam engine depended on work of French scientists like Fourier and Carnot. It's a lot to do with the right metworks of communication being avaolable. These days, Japan is highly advanced technologically and intellectually. If some mathematics is named after a Japanese person, it's unlikely you'll ever understand it!
I'm sorry but that is such a factually incorrect statement I'm not going to bother to explain.

White Europeans had the Renaissance and no one else.....
Renaissance, triggered by plague . They had the same plague, why didn't it trigger a similar renaissance in their culture.
Which was just a rediscovery of Classical thought after a thousand years of fear and superstition imposed by a foreign religion.
Would there have been a Renaissance without the translation of the knowledge of antiquity from the East and South? Without a reintroduction to the science of Ancient Greece, Phoenicia, Mesopotamia, Persia?
Before the Renaissance is the dark ages in Western Europe, the Eastern part of the Roman Empire was responsible for transmitting this knowledge to you via the efforts of the Muslims.
@@dugebuwembo Pardon ? What are you saying ?
@@user-ug4zx2kj6e What, lack of reading comprehension (unless it reinforces your narrow worldview)? The knowledge of Greece and Rome was largely preserved in the eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium if you prefer) and in the muslim world. Whilst it is the case that not a huge amount of texts were lost, as was once thought, the fact remains that they were for the most part stored away in vaults and not consulted for the best part of a thousand years until the advent of humanist philosophy in 13th century Italy led to a rediscovery of ancient sources.
During that timeframe, scholars in the west spent most of their time writing hagiographies, and the western church devoted its energies to crushing any heretical ideas. By contrast, much of Asia was far more tolerant when it came to religion and indeed, wise rulers sought out men of all faiths to discuss matters.
You should look up how many ideas and developments came into Europe from the muslim world, India and China during the later middles ages. These were often the foundation stones upon which all further science was built.
The W.E.F. is making sure that our ingenuity and inventive prowess is curtailed for the future.

Look around today and it will become apparent that there is a high probability that national intelligence is in decline.
The only way to attain equality of outcomes.
Many schools in the usa dumbed down to allow EVERYONE to be equal
"Managed decline" they call it. Top down controlled demolition. The current "powers that be" only know how to destroy.
Unfortunately, the most capable are having the fewest kids, so the decline in intelligence in the UK is very real. Historically, the highest achievers would have the most kids and the resources to ensure their survival. They also tended to be healthier because health and intelligence are linked. It was the opposite for the least capable, who couldn't afford large families, and their kids would often die of malnutrition or disease. Nowadays, the most capable and healthiest females often put their career before family, while the least capable and unhealthiest individuals might have larger families, relying on the state to soak up the cost. Often, Third World immigrants have larger families, irrespective of intelligence, as their women are expected to put family before career.
@@JackSmith-hx8zh living with no border security makes the more intelligent and those with means, leave for places that have border security. This is all a top down "managed decline", they even called it this a few years ago. A rare moment of honesty from the regime.
White, European, Male and Christian sums it up!
Although I do not claim credit for any invention, development or technological advancement, I realise, that is me!! White, European, male and Christian.

Ladybird Books were a product of an age when the ethos of children’s publishing was to promote the best of science, knowledge and culture. Think back to ‘World of Wonder’ and ‘Look and Learn’. I feel lucky to have had these books and magazines in my childhood and shudder with horror and disgust when I see the warped drivel now offered to children.
Those ladybird books had awesome painted illustrations in them.
The first book I bought was at school it was one of those 'How, Why, When'
books, they had a great selection of all different categories.
My heart swells thinking of Ladybird books ! Always such a treat to read.
Some details are wrong like the cover of "The story of radio" shows Heinrich Hertz spark experiment that proves radio waves exist. Far from the clear-cut illustration he spent months trying to see a tiny spark in a dark room. But the basics are correct unlike modern books that completely ignore the truth.
If, when discussing science and technology, a Ladybird book is the go to source, you're on shaky ground. These are undemanding books for kids, not reputable reference works.
I feel lucky I have still got the Look and Learn issues 1-235 in the special folders that could be bought to store 26 weeks worth. When my kids were young there was nothing similar for kids, so I started getting National Geographic and showing them things and reading bits to them; I still have every one from January 1980, and I bought a CD set that has every issue from before January 1980.

It was and still is. Keep pointing out theses truths.
In my own experience I said to a modern Liberal the White man invented, created and build the technology found in the modern world. They went red faced and said it was all stolen. I said "If it was all stolen by now the other countries would have invented something else. Why haven't they?" The Modern Liberal gave a word salad before giving up.
Nice counter point. Simple, succinct and unanswerable.
The modern world was impossible without the Renaissance and the enlightenment, the Renaissance and enlightenment were only possible with the acquaintance of knowledge from antiquity that happened after the end of the middle ages.
The knowledge of antiquity was developed at the cross roads of many civilisations; the fertile crescent(Mesopotamia, Sumerian, Assyrian, Phoenician, Persian), Nile Valley(Ancient Egypt and Nubia), Silk Road and India.
It is a fallacy to claim that all this knowledge belongs to Whypipo, it is fallacious to pretend that European civilisation and then modern Europe were in fact miraculous and weren't in fact built on top of preceding civilisations.
It's dishonest to lazily extrapolate the application of knowledge that took 5000 plus years to accumulate as a European invention.
It's also dishonest to pretend that the modern era isn't in fact preceded by millenia of development, sharing of ideas, reinvention of old concepts etc.
Europeans are responsible for modernity, a process that was only possible with the annexing of international territories and control of global trade routes.
The knowledge of antiquity doesn't belong to you, even if you used & applied it to develop this era of civilisation.
@@dugebuwembo consider this also, , While Western Europe was experiencing the Dark Ages (it did so during a period of 1500 years) marked by a demographic, cultural, and economic deterioration after the decline of the Roman Empire, 9th century Baghdad was a hotspot of intellectual activity.
At this place and in those times, many fields at the core of 21st century high school curriculums were created and revived. Optics, Chemistry, Medicine, Surgery, Sociology, Algebra, Trigonometry all experienced a tremendous rebirth of scholarship. Given the importance and legacy of these fields, it is worth investigating the conditions which were propitious to their simultaneous growth.

Some races are further along the chain of evolution, therefore more intelligent, it’s a fact that should be acknowledged
and one race exists due to an unfortunate incident of back breeding with an archaic hominin species, creating what we see today, the hybrid offspring of modern human and archaic hominin.
It is absurd that we even think in terms of race, we should recognize that there are numerous species of humans. Afterall, there are numerous species of equine, bovine, canine, feline, etc. Lions and Tigers are certainly cats but not one species. Neither are men one species.
Dr David Reich is a professor in the department of genetics at the Harvard Medical School, and an associate of the Broad Institute. Reich was highlighted as one of Nature's 10 for his contributions to science in 2015. He is more qualified than me to comment on this subject so I'll quote from his book “Who We Are and How We Got Here”, published in 2018:
“I have deep sympathy for the concern that genetic discoveries about differences among populations may be misused to justify racism. But it is precisely because of this sympathy that I am worried that people who deny the possibility of substantial biological differences among populations across a range of traits are digging themselves into an indefensible position, one which
will not survive the onslaught of science.”

Europeans have always been sort of restless. We explored the entire planet while people from other areas were content to stay in their vicinity, despite having quite capable vessels. We have a lot of medieval expeditions across the Atlantic, then followed by expeditions into the Pacific, then circumnavigating the globe. But have we actually had any exploratory trips from Asia coming over to Europe in the same way we did?
I think this is our strength. We aren't content with sitting in one place and doing the same thing our ancestors did. We want something new, something exciting. Asian cultures are the opposite. They excel in obsessive repetition, seeking absolute mastery. This is why products from Japan are so highly regarded. That's their strength.

One key difference between European culture (and Britain in particular) is the unique sense that truth is objective, and must conform to an independent, external, reality, and that justice must be based on truth, and that's that! Other cultures instinctively seek to arrive at a common mythology, a consensus which may be arrived at through bargaining or by force, whereby reality is 'reimagined' after the fact. Leftism is an atavistic resurgence of this latter conception of truth (and justice.) I read an anthropological paper on how two warring tribes made peace by agreeing on a common ancestry and history, even though it was entirely false! When the anthropologists pointed out the demonstrable, documented, falsehoods, he was met with bewilderment! This is how Truth is established! How could it be otherwise? Facts are no more than insubstantial dream fragments if they do not cohere to the narrative! What we agreed is the true reality!

@@steveroberts9757 Of course it does. You are just in denial.
@@marcv2648 Only tangentially. The Japanese invented the pocket calculator; is this because they are racially superior? Or is it because Japan became westernise, took on western values which unlocked latent skills of innovation and invention. It’s the culture that matters not the race.
@@steveroberts9757 The electronic calculator is an American invention. The Japanese did a good job of iterating on it and capitalizing on it. There aren't any groundbreaking inventions that I can think of that originate in Japan. Japan did well by understanding Western technology, and having sustained national industrial policy to capitalize on it. China is following the same path now. Japan is losing their technical edge rapidly in many industries now that their national policy is in a state of fugue. Japan never had a history of discovery or innovation other than capitalizing on innovations during their rapid industrialization. Japan is no longer even keeping up with the West. They have a declining standard of living and very low prices now. That said, I think Japan is a very civilized and magnificent country. I would never characterize Europeans as superior to Japanese by the way, but innovative ideas and inventions going all the way back to the middle stone age have almost singularly come from Western Eurasia.

I listen or talk to different people and their ideological tendencies.
I once spoke with an English-woke liberal who told me that the way to resolve differences and injustices in the world was through multi-culturalism and globalism to solve humanity's problems by creating a plural society and that if Europeans are superior, that is not important. It ends up being secondary because Europeans have to change according to him for the better.
It is the opinion of one person however I wrote you many times, and I had suspected that it could be a reality. It seems they believe that one superior group to many can bring more problems and they are using the term "racism" against one group.
These so called European inventors were the manifest beneficiaries of an exorbitant privilege. That privilege of promoting their ideas in a commercial framework that protected their interests. Far more conducive to making things better for all than the free for all in South America, Asia or Africa. Perhaps we should ask ourselves why such a good protective legal framework was not adopted in these other continents.
Great videos and questions. Keep them coming, Simon.
Legal recourse is not protection. Most patents don't afford inventors much protection. Watt and Boulton were not very successful in protecting themselves against copycats even with enormous legal expense. Many inventors bankrupt themselves in trying to protect their intellectual property.

Laird: Yes, I think you have a point there 😮
You forgot to mention africas' greatest contribution, the single story mud hut. Architect around the world are in awe of the technology.
And that item found in every residence throughout the world, the Woomera which Australian Aborigines invented to throw their spears harder and further.
Actually in my part of the world (South Africa) we actually invented mud huts as well. The Boere raised temporary mud structures before building more permanent houses from stone. The other groups made GRASS huts.
The archetypal round mud house with thatch grass roof was actually copied from the Whites.
Ah but they didn't have a bone, through their nose.
Makes a difference...
“THIS DOESN’T MAKE US SUPERIOR, SIMON!!!”
Being superior doesn’t equate to ‘having the right to subjugate and dominate or enslave other groups’. Why do people automatically assume that those who point out this possibility are insisting this to be the case..? Maybe that’s because they would try to enact such a move if tables were turned and roles were reversed… The fact that we haven’t done such a thing should speak volumes.
Africans were enslaving Africans, Britons were enslaving Britons. Slavery has been around since the ascent of man. Thinking outside the box and creating new things is something particular to Europe.
Where does Simon say anything about being superior?
Except that it quite obviously DOES make White Europeans superior. You make no sense whatsoever.
@@fransbuijs808 That was the joke…
White mans burden......yea
Thanks for your thought provoking videos Simon!
Thomas Sowell make a good argument for the the importance of geography in the deveolpment of a society. Things like the presence of natural harbours, navigatable rivers etc
But he still avoids genetics
What, no rivers in Africa !
Yes, he's correct. But he leaves out these factors influence on the evolution of genes which then create culture.
@@user-ug4zx2kj6e It seems that they all flow the wrong way...
@@user-ug4zx2kj6eno navigable rivers beyond a few miles inland. Except for the Nile and coincidentally that is the only place in Africa where a great civilisation arose.
The neanderthal connection is important I think.
I recommend Bill Bryson's book, "A Short History of Nearly Everything," it really sheds light on who made the modern world. Great Britain features significantly.
Wonderful book, superb effort.
Just don't believe his false statement that weight and mass are the same thing. Surprising error.
The standard answer is colonialism... but look at European civilisation's progress many years already before the Spanish and Portugese even set foot in Africa. Castles, multi-storey buildings, churches etc
So did many parts of Africa and the world! So what’s your point?
Excellent simon, i TRIED to have this discussion with a ghanaian man ive known for years, i kept my composure, didnt raise my voice...but he did the archetypal defence thing...he had an audience so pointed at me, laughed and said to his mates 'have you heard him !'...so i gave up.
We must not say or tell the truth, or facts .
some snowflakes might get triggered.we all must have a safe bubble. 🎈
Genetics or culture? Both. How could our most primitive ancestors produce the most advanced culture?
Africans deserve some credit for their architectural contribution.
Mud and straw huts.
Will be back in them in less than 100 yrs. 😂
They did manage some drystone walls as well at about the same time as when Europeans were building cathedrals.
Wow!
Richard: what really surprises me is that they didn't even think to make the mud into small square blocks - resembling brinks. Oh no, they just slung mud together and hoped it stayed upright ‼️‼️

@@admirekashiri9879 there are videos here on YT of small village life in Africa
The greatest mistake we made was to educate certain groups. We would have been much better off leaving be!
The greatest mistake African's ever made was reproducing with Neanderthals they would have been better off leaving the Neanderthals be without the ability to properly form words.
Another interesting video Simon. What this highlights is the value of Western civilisation, not only to Westerners but to all of humanity. Those jealous of our creativity should be careful of what they wish for. If our civilization is destroyed then so too is the creativity that goes with it. Everyone loses. There are still great discoveries and inventions to be made, the last of which is discovering an intelligent answer as to how we got here and why we are here.
Awesome video 🙏🙏🙏👌 We thank our great European brothers and sisters for sharing these inventions.
If our African brothers and sisters hadn't invented the hand held rock first, all of the examples Simon gave here, would never have been invented. 😂🤣

@@willfromhythe We praise him for this too. We aren’t blinded by human pride of life. At least we know we can only look to God for salvation and pride not our wealth or the deeds of our ancestors.

I wonder if there are any languages that are so basic and inflexible so that certain inventions cannot be made because the thought of them cannot be formulated.
An excellent thought!
Freedom of thought, free speech, freedom to marry who you wish, compulsory education, entrapauershio, etc... all played a big part in European and North American societies. This combination of things seem absent in many other parts of the world even today
The Europeans are the most inventive, innovative, and explorative people in the last 500 years.
North America now puts Europe to shame, I'm afraid. North America is home to a booming economy and innovative tech companies worth trillions. Meanwhile here in Europe, we have a stagnant economy and are busy telling farmers to produce less food.
Yes but a lot of Brits work at these tech companies,also satellites are predominantly made in europe.
The best left
The food thing,this is global food companies forcing an agenda to increase profits.Lab grown food on a massive scale,no farmers/farms just factory operatives.Cuts overheads,increases profits and you eat low nutrition crap.It will come to America,Europe is the test base.
@sapphireblue222 Agree. So many Europeans leave for NA or the Far East. I know people personally who have left for Australia or the UAE. Europe seems to be dying. I live in southern Portugal and all the kids here have to leave for Lisbon, Madrid or further afield for a decent career.
@@warrior9085 True. But they have to work these jobs in North America and not Europe.
The Europeans did it all, and still do it all. Namely the English and Scottish, they carried the world out of the stone age and into the space age. Us the Europeans, we are heroes, we are incredible.
British and scottish?. What about the dutch and the Netherlanders
C'mon now, there have been Germans and Russians in the mix as well. What would we be without the Theremin.
The Scots are British. They even voted to stay in the UK. I have a meaning you meant to say English and Scottish (or Scots).
Well, with a little help from the Babylonians, Greeks and Romans maybe. 😅
@@englishciderlover7347 My bad, thanks for the correction.
But wakanda n sheeeee
Innit blud!
Every time I study this I am steered towards the inescapable conclusion that it is, indeed, genetic, especially between very clearly genetically different groups of people (like Australian Aborigines compared to Northern Europeans). Oh, part of it may also be cultural, or being in the right place at the right time... but the predominant force that makes the others possible (or impossible, depending on which group you are studying) seems to be genetic. Just because I take up an interest in running a marathon doesn't mean I'm ever going to be competitive against Ethiopian or Kenyan runners. The Japanese boy who likes American football will never make it to the NFL as a lineman. We all seem to accept this obvious truth when it comes to athletics, but have difficulty admitting it when it comes to intellectual activities.
Yes because, athletics are more discernably due to life style & genetics whereas, intellectual capacity isn't.
American John Atanasoff with bulgarian father and irish mother created the first personal computer in USA .
I think we a missing something even more profound. Look back in history, the key thing was that most people who invented and improved things were rewarded by being allowed to keep the benefits of their works. This has been true since the Renaissance. Risk was indeed rewarded. This attitude all stemmed from that unique European culture based on Christianity. In the rest of the world any benefit would be confiscated by the ruling class or simply by anyone who was the strongest. This pretty much crushed any innovation.
This is as relevant today as it was 500 years ago.
The Leftists, and those who have left the Left, don't want to admit the contribution of Christianity.
"most people who invented and improved things were rewarded by being allowed to keep the benefits of their works" - certainly, but private property rights don't apply in tribal cultures, and freedom, which requires private property rights, is in itself an invention of superior cultures.
Freedom as we know it developed in England. Mises wrote about that.
"all stemmed from that unique European culture based on Christianity" - not really. Every element of christianity was copied from earlier religions. Nothing in it is original.
@@LaurieWilliams-lk8fc so the invention of the gun/cannon was nothing new. It just took gun powder for fireworks and metal working. No biggy.
It depends on what period of history Simon, and you know that. Every modern invention was European, historically they have been spread throughout Europe, and Asia. Since the late middle ages Europe has largely been responsible for every great invention.
Certainly, some important ideas arose in the Middle East thousands of years ago.
@HistoryDebunkedsimonwebb I'll give you an example that wasn't replicated anywhere else for over a thousand, a form of seed drill was used in China in about 200 BC. I can give you more examples from the far east right up until the medieval period too.
