When they get an ugrade to their IQ. Hate to say it because nature is cruel.
Actually if you read the article ( the author is African), it isn’t their collective IQ’s that is the problem.
The relatively well off environmental activists in rich countries use exaggerated, imaginary or phony environmental concerns and fake disasters to justify laws, regulations and excuses not to let poor countries use fossil fuels or nuclear power or develop their economies.
They tell Africans that they should only use renewable energy. They say nuclear power is dangerous, and oil, gas and coal are dirty and cause dangerous climate change.
They don’t seem to think or care about the poverty, diseases and starvation that Africans suffer because they do not have fossil fuels.
And when they talk about renewable energy, they mean the very limited energy – and economic growth – that come from wind and solar power, or from growing crops for energy instead of to feed our hungry people. They even oppose hydroelectric power for poor nations.
They are rich and well fed, enjoying amazing homes and jobs and technologies in their modern countries. But they tell poor Africans (and other people) that they must limit our energy and dreams to whatever can come from expensive, insufficient kinds of energies to serve our large and growing populations. This is greedy and selfish, the kind of attitude of people who only think of themselves.
I hate to sound callous, and in a world of richness, those who have more than enough should care if others are starving. But as long as Africa can’t produce one invention or development-one better mousetrap-which will have the world coming to their door, instead of always being in the position of being the petitioner, their plight will never end. It’s how the world is.
How many thousands of years did humans live on earth before they organized themselves to build cities and organize themselves into autocrat-led societies in the Levant and China? How many more hundreds of years passed before elements of democracy were tested? How many more hundreds passed before private property was allowed? And one’s own labor on one’s own private property was allowed to be exploited for one’s self? And the nation-state? And rule by consent of the governed?
We live in anomalous times. The history of man’s social and political affairs is one of a long period of being solitary, poor, nasty, and brutish, and a very short period where only a minority experienced decent health and wealth and freedom.
I don’t know if Charles Murray’s Bell Curve is the biggest culprit here, but it does give one pause.
IQ ? They need DDT. The West is refusing it to them.
Yes, IQ is a big factor but not the only one. There’s little hope for a population not motivated enough to put screens on their windows.
It’s very sad. The continent is rich in natural resources. Unfortunately, the gene pool isn’t one of those resources.
The original anti-Semites used to say Jews were filthy and stupid. It's amazing what a couple of generations good nutrition and competent education can do for a race's average IQ.
