Are Asians Smarter
IQ New Zealand Intelligence Education Brain Size Academic Chinese Rushton Race Behaviour students Asian are smarter 60 minutes
This is from 60 minutes New Zealand and was titled "Breeding Brainiacs Tiger Mums in New Zealand". This is a mileasing title because it implies that Asians achieve better academically simply because they study more - the entire video is based on this misinformation. Research strongly indicates that intelligence, social stature, and success in life, is determined by genetics rather than by environment. Asian genes code for larger brains, which give them higher IQs. This higher IQ enables Asians to outcompete whites or blacks. Asian brain size is consistently measured as being larger than that whites or blacks whether measured using MRI scans, head circumferences, skull packing with sand or any known method. It's 2012 yet the concept of race is still very taboo. Admitting racial brain size differences isn't racist because "facts are facts". For more credible information on this topic please refer to the book titled "Race, Evolution, and Behaviour" by Prof. Phillipe J. Rushton. It's free to download. This Asian dominance of the New Zealand academic system is something Rushton's findings inadvertently predicted, and predicted decades beforehand. The reporter of this video ignores and misinterprets credible scientific data to present her case in a woeful example journalism.

+Daniel Daniel I had a cubicle mate that was a Japanese engineer. He published a paper in this first year out of college in 1980 he put a microprocessor in the feedback loop of a pulse width modulation control of a power supply. Then I switched companies and there was goofy tiny Japanese engineer. I thought maybe I could be smarter than him. He found a transducer in a low end stand alone Fluke Voltmeter left over from manufacturing. He used it as an IO port and hooked up to a data logger, like a high end meter. Another Japanese engineer was quickly doing Laplace transforms for circuit analysis. I asked how he knew all this. He got out his Japanese - English dictionary and pointed to the words conditioned response.

I tend to think of intelligence as innate really. Smarter people need to put less effort to achieve the same result as people who're less smart. So if the Asians you see are working their ass off to get good results, they're either not that "smart", or are just smart perfectionists who want the best achievement.

I am an Asian, born in Asia (specifically Korea) and from my experiences I think the reason why we succeed so much academically, is purely because of the hard work. When I first came to Canada at age of 16, I was surprised at the attitude high school students of Canada had. Barely anyone seem to care about school work, and if you find someone working hard, they are usually labeled 'nerd' and well, that doesn't sound good obviously, and majority of those nerds are Asians lol. I studied only until grade 8 in Korea and I never had to study math again until I started learning Calculus, because I learned everything already. I really think it's all because we tend to work harder than people of other races, not that we are necessarily smarter.

Most Asian parents derive from extremely poor families, if they aren't still poor. The parents know, that the only way to ensure that the lives of their children be better or enriched is by excelling academically. They don't want their children and the generations to come, to suffer the same fate they or their parents went through. My great-grandfather was from China, and with only the clothes on his back, he hopped onto a leaky boat and crossed into Malaysia. He worked everyday for 3 cents. Each cent bought him a bowl of plain rice and nothing else. He saved 1 cent everyday. Eventually, he made some savings, bought over the soap factory (with friends) which he had worked for years in, at a fortunately low price, because Japanese invaded and occupied Malaysia at that time. He delivered soap to Japanese army bases and the surrounding villages on bicycle, at least 14 hours a day. The rest of the time, is used to make more soap in the factory. Eventually his friends skipped out (and was bought out) until he was the sole owner. He was one of the very first people in Malaysia to ever own a car! When he retired, he sold his factory and bought a small land of oil-palm estate. His son took over to watch over and run the estate, and slowly bought over surrounding land to expand. My grandfather was said to be very strict and mean. I didn't get to know him well, because he died when I was 3 years of age.

It is in school for the most part, because school isnt very difficult. The concepts are easy enough that above average people can do excellent with a lot of effort. However, intelligence is much more than effort, its just that the standard of school is quite low, and effort is the major effector in that environment.

Ryukey schools mostly test how much stuff you can paste onto a test sheet. they dont test your ability to do something practical. Think about it. If you dont remember a formula for something when your making some physics calculations you look it up in 10 seconds and just do it. Or if you dont remember a certain part of biology preciesly when your diagnosing someone just look up how the left coronary valve operates in depth and your all good. Its better to have understanding of the concepts and the ability to apply rather than spend all your effert memorizing formulas methods and other things.

As an Asian i have to say it's wrong to judge a person's intelligence by what grades they get, how many instruments they can play or what school they go & etc. Only their achievements in life should prove their intelligence. I mean look at great people like Abe Lincoln, Henry Ford, Walt Disney they didn't go to Harvard or got only good grades at school, but they contributed a lot of things to the world, now can you call them stupid? Intelligence is extremely overrated, i know a guy who has an IQ about 132 (almost a genius), he's a doctor, yet he still lives with his parents, 30 years old, and not very successful. So let's judge people by their achievements in life, instead of what degree they have or what classes they took.

I am an African American. When I was younger I went to a predominantly black high school. I was not learning, and teachers seemed not to care. I was then transferred to a predominantly Asian high school where I excelled. The students only spoke when they were spoken to. The environment was very different from what I came from at my old school. My grades shot right up, and I became very intelligent in math which I thought was my weakest subject. It is environment and not IQ.

In my opinion, good grades won't make a person smart. Every answers to an exam can be easily found in textbooks and lecture notes. As long as you're hardworking, study hard, memorize hard or practice hard, you will obtain a good grade eventually. My definition of a "smart person" is someone who knows how to apply what he or she has learnt previously to create, innovate, or improvise something. Here's an example to support my statement: you can memorize and practice your piano exam pieces hard to pass Grade 8 and earn yourself a high distinction certificate but if you can't utilize the theory of music to compose a simple song of your own, you might as well not learn any music at all in the first place.

"Every answer(s) to an exam can be easily found in textbooks and lecture notes;" or is it? What subjects are you talking about? Math exams are totally different; actually, that still depends on the specific math courses. However, except for some easy ones, it's likely that a student hasn't seen the questions on a math exam anywhere before, not even textbooks nor lecture notes. It's the matter of applying theorems, which are indeed easily found, to solving problems, which are not so obvious. If you're lucky, you might find answer to similar question on Internet or get help on some forums; but that's about it, and such luck is not often. There's no guarantee of a solution without the ability to reason. One more thing, creativity certainly is important; but creativity plus stupidity is destruction.

Ouwe Hand I sympathize with your sentiment. The most important thing for students is for them to develop some self-discipline and find their own ways. While the young need guidance, one-size-fit-all schools often destroy their will with many ridiculous mandates. Red-tape bureaucracy?
I'm a fellow Asian, and I can say for certain that the overwhelming pressure all Asian youths receive does not pay off well for all. I did well as a kid but gave up over time because I didn't have any driving forces that'd stop and keep me from digressing in my involvement with pursuing in academia. So I barely graduated high school and was close to repeating... Looking back now, I would have tried if I was brought up properly with the correct mindset that hard work will pay off in the future. I construed and looked at academics as my only enemy growing up. Asian parenting works for some, but in a multicultural society, kids will often rebel as they are influenced by their other peers and friends who are raised in a carefree way. Although I won't argue that Asian parenting won't work for all youths in their native countries because the culture has already defined and normalized it. The difference here is: Asian parenting won't work for all children in a multiculturally diverse environment, though it will work in their native environments because society's expectation calls for it.

This is the comment, guys. This is the comment. To the original commenter, I am sorry to hear that from you. Thing is, I don't even think this parenting "working" is necessarily a good thing even if it "works", because, like you said, the mindset which the a lot of parents started from had been wrong from the start. The amount of Asian parents that live vicariously through their kids' achievements and having "what will people think? (face value)" and money as motivators to drive their kids up the wall with academics is unreal. This is largely why places like r/AsianParentStories exist, and why all Asian comedy on KZread is essentially about how they were abused and how toxic and emotionally immature their parents were. Yes, we can laugh at our emotional damage, but it is not cute or funny in real life.
I live in the Silicon Valley in the US. I have encountered many smart people in the high tech world in the past 30+ years. Based on my personal observations, Asians are NOT smarter, they are simply harder working and more focused at their goals hence they have a head start and an advantage that leads to their success in school. I am Chinese and my college age daughters are also pure Chinese. My daughters went to a high school that is top in the region with a student body composes of 80+% Asians (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Filipino, Indian etc.) We raised our children the Chinese way also. They play piano, take Chinese classes, involved in sports, plus everything we asked them to do. They aced every subjects they studied. Yet, they say in their own words, they know some smart people in school that do much better than they do without even putting an effort. On the contrary, they had to work really hard to catch up with these geniuses. I have also observed that girls do better in school than boys nowadays. I believed indulgence in video games is more common amongst boys and hence they tend to fall behind in school works. In my opinion, Chinese parents are too rigid and as a result, many Chinese kids lost their originality and creativity. That will become a roadblock once they leave school because in the real world especially in research and development of products, you have to come up with your own new ideas to be successful. Anything in textbook is already at least 10 years too old. All the leading edge stuffs are not published yet.

As a child labeled as "gifted", I became complacent once I was made aware of my exceeding abilities. If my parents had family ethics similar to that found among Asian families, I would most likely have been far more financially successful in my life. But, my parents were more concerned about having a life filled with love and joy (hippies), not so much about the $. I have had a very rich life.

Academics is not the same as striving to make inventions, or becoming truly intelligent. It's about becoming successful in academia or in such stereotypical jobs as doctors or lawyers, which are mostly menial tasks. It's all about status and pride, not knowledge, interest, and actual creative intelligence. Obviously, there is something to be ashamed of. It's purely materialistic and superficial.
I think asians are not smarter or dumber than westerners , they succeed because they are very hardworking. My teacher said he had a vietnamese student that left his dorm every evening to revise his lessons alone in the classroom and slept there. After graduation he founded his company.

***** High IQ does not determine a person's overall intelligence. It just shows that they are good test takers, that's it. I have many friends who have high IQ's and go to Mensa gatherings and a lot of them are socially awkward and lack common sense. You can have all the book smarts in the world but if you can't communicate effectively with people, know how to handle stress, make money, then what good is having a high IQ? In my personal opinion, creativity far outweighs anything you can learn at a school. Even Einstein said that imagination is more important than knowledge. I use my imagination all the time to get things done. Just the other day my neighbor asked me to fix her garage because her lines had snapped. Granted, I've never worked on a garage and had no idea how it was done. So, I basically stood out there, examined where the lines broke off at and where the lines were located at, I measured how long the lines were and the thickness, took it to a hardware store, got the same exact lines, and put new lines up by just looking at it and imagining where it would go before working. I fix a lot of problems this way. When I look at something for a long time, I figure it out and fix it. This skill is something an IQ test won't teach you. I'm all about survival, making money, and being practical.

Brain size doesn't necessarily correlate to brain performance. It's very hard to deny parenting's influence when the correlation between successful/pressure parenting and student success is very significant. The best way to scientifically gauge the situation would be to examine non-asian children raised by successful/pressure parenting (preferably Asian parents for consistency sake) vs Asian children raised by non-successful/pressure parenting (preferrably not Asian parents for consistency sake). I do not know if there have been any studies like that. From personal observation, I've noticed that effort correlates to success in school by a large factor, but nonetheless many non-asian people including myself would still get very high marks while putting very little effort into things at all (I would frequently never do homework). How many Asian-raised kids never do their homework? Conversely, I have seen many non-Asian students perform very well due to putting significant amount of effort into their work/learning. Overall it seems to me personally that race is not a factor, or at least not a significant-enough one to notice. Asian is an extremely broad term; there's Kazakhs to Japanese to Indonesian and everything in between. It's difficult to measure anything when broad generalizations are made regarding a population. There are extremely significant genetic differences within the large Asian region. Lastly the statement made that some Asians may be self-motivated or more disciplined rather than affected by their parents doesn't make them "smarter" (smart is a terribly vague term), just more determined, and who says that some non-Asians aren't also self-motivated/dsciplined? The research result that non-Asian "tiger children" get beaten by Asian "tiger children" is interesting. Are there source for the studies that the video author keeps mentioning? The point that Sargon II made is very significant. In a local setting, a significant (and/or majority) number of Asians may have poor performance, just that due to large volumes of populations in many Asian countries, the emigrants that get picked out to immigrate to other/more- developed countries will be top of the line, be it parenting-wise, or genetic-wise.

MrKimchiNinja Yes, but where is the evidence that cranial capacity or the brain weight to body weight ratio correlates to the early growth of civilization or inventions useful for survival among homo sapiens of different population groups? Because while Homo Sapien has a superior brain weight / body weight ratio to Homo Erectus and Neanderthal, sub-Saharan Africans made several important innovations ensuring the survival of the species as well as building large buildings and roads while Northern Europeans and East Asians lagged far behind for thousands of years. And Northern European H.Sapiens and East Asian H. Sapiens are supposed to have a higher brain weight / body weight ratio than sub-Saharan African H. Sapien. Apparently, once H.Sapienhood is achieved, small physical differences between different population groups are no longer relevant. They are relevant only when comparing Homo Sapien to other species. As the archaeological record clearly indicates, along with the work of Stephen Jay Gould.

I think Asians are smarter because we go to school not to be popular but to be in the honor list.
I had a dysfunctional childhood and never learned to apply myself in school, I think not so much forcing your kids to do good but having your kids try their best is very important.
The whole Asians are smarter is a false concept. It depends on how hard their parents are on them because their intelligence rests on a reflection of their family, community and the honor it brings them. They are shamed if they don't achieve perfection and therefore are forced to do more to make their parents proud. This is great family values but it can be stressful to the children but academics isn't hard to master if you are constantly practicing and studying. They apply themselves more than westerners. I got along with Asians more than most other people.

"Doctors are somf of the stupidest people I know and they dont go to jail". Well, beeing in jail is associated with low IQ since a smart person finds more constructive ways to use his abilities in general. You have a very subjective understanding of intelligence. Intelligence does not mean "knowledge", and I posted before that wisdom and IQ is not the same. But only a fool would think that doctors are not intellgent. Doctors are on average far more intelligent than the general population. By intelligent I mean able to process alot of information, see patterns and such. That is to say, intelligence as can be measured objectively rather than the subjective standards you put forth (going to jail, seeing alot of different perspective etc. -> you are moving into wisdom issues and experience, that is seperate from innate intelligence) Interesting observtion about Asians and Whites. I have noticed this myself about the creativeness issue. From what i've read there are some variations in estrogen levels. This is probably controverial though, and I don't know the exact cause of the said observation. But again, there is a clear correlation between innate IQ potential and chances of doing well academically. There are more factor that come into play when beeing able to create novel ideas, but innate intelligence is one of those factors. There certainly are many smart blacks and culture probably has some weight when explaining why african societies tend to be more dysfunctional, but culture alone does not explain all the data. As with most things, both genes and environent are factors that play in. The IQ discrepancies in the US has not changed much over the last decades despite concerted efforts to close the gap. The claim that "all races" have the EXACT same potential in intelligence is a statement without any basis in statistics or science. It is a political statement. It is infact quite the opposite of what one would expect from a reason perspective given evolution. Im not saying that any race is "superior" as that ofcourse depends on what qualities you determine as such. I think there is clear evidence of varieties though on the average between groups. Do you for instance believe that australian aboriginals have the exact same IQ potential as a Korean, even though they have been living seperate from other groups for ages. There is no plausible explanation for that. We have seen an increase in G intelligence as civilizations have developed from tribal communities to high information societies. Natural selection has been very active at times in history, and the belief that the rate of this increase and the factors that promote it have been EXACTLY the same in all geographical locations on this earth is simply a wild assumption to make.*****

Anyone who thinks "Asians" (however you define that term) are universally smarter than everyone else should come live in an Asian country for a while. Sure, you have intelligent and educated people and there is generally a strong emphasis on education, but there are just as many stupid, ignorant and uneducated bafoons living here (as well as people of average intelligence) as anywher else. One Chinese girl I knew in Beijing didn't know there was a war going on in Afghanistan. Several Taiwanese tourists I've met in Japan say many Japanese have never heard of Taiwan and confuse it with Thailand. Considering Taiwan is right next to Japan and used to be a Japanese colony, this is akin to a French person having never heard of Algeria or a Brit having never heard of India. One mistake is to assume immigrant populations are representative of the whole of the populations from which they descend. The people who emigrate from China and Korea often come from highly educated, academic backgrounds to begin with. If, instead you had semi-illiterate farmers and migrant workers from Sichuan migrating to New Zealand, Europe or North America, I think people would have a different picture of East Asians.

So she's supposed to magically know something that is rarely mentioned in Chinese news, because it has nothing to do with China? That makes her less intelligence? Are you or most Americans aware that this is regularly rioting and fighting in Xinjiang because a part of the population wants to break away from China? Does that make people stupid if they don't know that? By the way, knowledge and education have absolutely nothing to do with intelligence. People with higher intelligence tend to be more curious and hence, to seek out more knowledge, and tend to do better in school, but most IQ tests focus on solving logical problems instead of testing how much knowledge you have. Your IQ is mostly genetic and doesn't change depending on how much education or knowledge you have.

While I was there the Arab spring and the conflict in Libya were being covered by CCTV. You don't need magic to know about this in China. A few years ago, human rights abuses in North Korea were rarely reported in Western media, and yes, I have called Westerners ignoramuses for not knowing about that, too. ----> "Are you or most Americans [...]" Please stop assuming everyone on KZread is writing from America. "[...]aware that this is regularly rioting and fighting in Xinjiang because a part of the population wants to break away from China? Does that make people stupid if they don't know that?" Despite the rhetorical nature of your question, yes, I am very aware that Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in Western China riot in Xinjiang, and I wish more people know about it, but no, I don't expect every Westerner to know about Xinjiang. Afghanistan, however, directly shares a border with China. Taiwan used to be a Japanese colony and is located just south of Okinawa. If someone from Japan doesn't know that there's an island (de facto) nation they used to occupy called Taiwan, then yes, I'll call him/her an ignoramus. No, being ignorant doen't necessarily mean someone is unintelligent, but it does disprove the stereotype that all Asians excell in education. Also, this is NOT meant to imply that East Asian people as a whole are stupid/ignorant -- only that there are just as many uneducated ignoramouses here than in any other part of the world, and that Chinese expat communities in Western countries already represent an exceptionally well-educated and hard-working part of the population, not the average person in China (expat communities in general are never fully representative of their home countries).
Any child could do very well academically if they had their parents constantly supervising them & pushing them to accomplish ever higher goals.

Absolutely not, I work in Korea as a teacher. Which university you attend in places like China, Korea and Japan determines your friends, job, income and social status, quite literally. Getting into these universities is based on a single entrance exam. This entrance exam is excruciatingly difficult, not because it's complex, but because of the shear volume of rote memorisation required. It's like someone asking you to take a test on the Yellow Pages. Korea consistently has some of the highest test scores in the world, yet hasn't won a single Nobel Prize. Almost no emphasis is placed on practical application. This is especially true for languages. I've met Korean English teachers who have never written a single English essay in their life, even while at university studying English. Unsurprisingly, they can ace an MCQ test, but are absolutely terrible at speaking English. TLDR, Asians memorise hard to pass tests, not to learn, and they usually can't apply what they've learned.

I think the age is actually 7, but there's a point in your life where if you move to another country, you can be be completely indoctrinated by it's culture. The older you are when you emigrate, the more resistant you are to cultural integration (it's why people who move away when they're younger lose their accents faster).

Baleur No, you are wrong. The races of mankind are related, but not as closely as relationships within a race. Each race as a different distribution of the alleles (variations of a gene) that contribute to intelligence. If you compare this to somebody rolling a handful of 10-sided dice, but it isn't required that each dice have a face for each of the digits 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Some races might be rolling dice with these numbers on their faces: 3,5,5,7,7,7,8,8,9,10. Another race might be rolling dice with these numbers: 1,1,2,2,4,5,7,8,8,9. This will make the averages of many rolls be different.

You can see this by going in to many race realism videos where the comment sections repeatedly state lines similar to "See? Even with all these factors equalized, whites have higher IQ scores than blacks". It's just hypocritical to see them say genetics for intelligence exist when comparing whites and blacks, but do not exist when comparing asians and whites.

I don't think IQ is actually that important. My theory is that the main difference between average people and geniuses, is their emotional disposition towards academics. I think that since they enjoy the challenge and the rewards of learning something like mathematics, they are more likely to keep trying after they fail. And that they are also more likely to dedicate more of their free time to these pursuits.

Your world view is incomplete and too simplistic. Just like the Chinese thought a thousand years ago that paper, gunpowder, compass, etc. represent the most important invention of humankind. Now the West believe those inventions for the last 200 years represent the pinnacle of human civilization. Let me tell you young man, gunpowder enable the West to conquer the Natives and enslave Africans, paper allows the West to spread and expand knowledge and Bible, and compass enable the European to navigate to the "unknown" world. Colonialism and conquering of the New World allow the West to reach critical mass to achieved Industrial Age and hence all the modern inventions. China is the RICHEST, most CIVILIZED, and most INNOVATIVE country in most of human history except the last 200 years when the West robbed, steal, and cheated China of her vast wealth accumulated for the last few thousands of years. Wealth from ill-gained resources enable the West to invent, and inventions created wealth... Nothing to do with high IQ. ALL your wealth and INVENTIONS are a result of your ancestor's ill-gained path to success.

Greetings and some very interesting views of the concept that Asians are smarter and with regard to the " Tiger Mom !" here is a fact- my wife is Korean- born and bread in South Korea- Im a Caucasian male and we have 2 sons together. Both of our sons graduated from University while the eldest learned he was so clever with math, he applied to and graduated from the Kelly School of Business... I remember when our sons were growing up, my wife did not want them in the public school system, so, our son attended private Catholic schools - why? focus on education. We both feared gangs and so, we both had 2 jobs to pay for our sons private education. Our sons also had all sorts of lessons on the weekends while growing up- including Piano, sax, guitar etc... Korean Martial Arts a must! My wife would also become very angry if our sons did not achieve all A's. We as parents stayed on them during their younger days- Are American parents as pro active as the " Tiger Mom " is? I am saddened to say that I dont think so! So, are Asian children smarter than the rest- no, i dont believe that to be the case, but they are certainly pushed harder...

Here's something for you to think about: Question 1: Why do humans have brains? Answer 1: Because it's in our DNA to have them. Question 2: Where to people get their DNA from? Answer 2: From their parents. Question 3: And is it possible for people to have variations in their DNA that cause real differences in the makeup of their body, including their brain? Answer 3: Yes. Conclusion 1: It is possible to have variations in brain-function (of which said brain-function, intelligence is a result) based on DNA (your DNA traits being usually overwhelmingly mostly inherited from your parentsm, although a relatively tiny amount of non-inherited novel mutations are constantly occuring in individuals due to things like sunburn and potato chips). Conclusion 2: Therefore, it is possible to have lower or higher intelligence based on DNA Conclusion 3: Since an individual can have higher or lower intelligence based on ancestry (DNA), a group of people with the same ancestors (a familial group, a "race") can also have high or lower intelligence, based on their inherited DNA. Addition point 1: Even though all this is true, it is safest to judge individuals on individual merits, rather than those of their relatively close relatives (their cousins, their siblings, their parents, their "race"). Additional point 2: Even if an individual has a low IQ, this does not necessarily prevent them from succeeding at life. Additional point 3: Even if am individual has a high IQ, this does not guarantee that they will succeed at life.

raceandcrime By success, I was meaning personal satisfaction in life. Usually, this would involve adequacy of resources, good nutrition, good lifestyle, good friends, good stress management or low stress, etc. I certainly do not mean being exceptionally wealthy. By my measurement, a significant number of wealthy people would be counted losers (failures - look to the celebs, wealthy consumerists, wealthy individuals on their umpteenth partner, infighting in wealthy families, etc.). In addition, many wealthy people feel it is okay to massively hoard resources for personal use, even though many people languish for lack of resources (also for lack of a healthy culture). This can compromise the happiness of others, by denying them adequate resources. It might also be simpomatic of lack of empathy on behalf of the wealthy person. Some people are born with horrible conditions that will likely always compromise their satisfaction. However, a hell of a lot more can humanly make it than do currently. Of course modern hip hop minsterls were helped, by millions of people wanting to legally acquire their music - just like all capitalists, all people wanting to sell a product over which they have special legal power (ownership).

raceandcrime In addition, a response to your pount about massive wealth inequality proving that less intelligent people have little chance of succeeding much. Actually, free market capitalism pretty much necessarily dictates that massive inequality will occur, in this industrial age of massive resource consumption, globalization, and massive societies (USA has blimmin' 300 million people! That is a massive society). This is because we allow individuals to own important resources for means of production, such as land and factories, which forcibly prevents others from access to those resources (individual ownership=access denied to almost everyone on the planet, including the other people nearest to the resource), except on the terms dictated by the owners. Because some people have good resources for resource production, and others do not, the have-not's will tend to pander to the have's in order top surive; to do so, they will sell their lifetime (for example, 40 hours a week) to people who do have good resources for wealth production in the form of working a job (that they otherwise might not actually like to do - it often shows clearly that people hate their jobs; doing something you dislike 40 hours a week takes its toll). Of course, the job provider is opportunistic/selfish (who isn't), and wants to make a profit; the owner will therefore almost always pay the worker less value than the worker actually makes, keeping a cut for himself. If employing enough employees, the owner will be earning multiple people's wages, but not spending for multiple people. As such, he will be growing his wealth, allowing him to acquire even more means of production, and the cycle continues (as it currently is). Also, with much automated mechanized production these days, there is less need for (paid) workers, allowing the owner to earn even more. The end result of this cycle, if uninterrupted or unregulated, is pretty much serfdom, where the small aristocracy controls resource production, and everyone else has little choice but to pander to them. This tends to cause misery, which tends to cause civil unrest, as has happened multiple times throughout history. If history teaches us that authoritarianism in the forms of facism and communism (different rationals, but quite similar in their expressions of brutality towards the freedom of individuals and inequality) does not work well, it also teachs us that authoritarianism in the form of the super wealthy does not work well - many times over. If we did not recognize individual ownership of means of production, this would presumably not occur. That is why there is massive inequality in the world today.

Hrothgar Simonus actually wealth correlates well with happiness, the more u have the more happy u r, this breaks off as being true at the point of "permanent survival", a sense that u have more than enough to live comfortably the rest of your life, a basic instinct is built in here... so the idea of happiness could be quantified in terms of WHY NOT TAX THEM MUCH MORE BEYOND THIS POINT OF WEALTH THAT THEY HAVE THAT THEY DON'T NEED AND THAT DOESN'T HELP THEIR HAPPINESS OR HEALTH... happy/wealth connection: i have seen this data in studies several times... even just seeing this idea reviewed again in a TIME issue (Sept. 8-15, 2014) - in the article they broke up classes in 5 groups, the trends are obvious, comparing crime, level of education, happiness, etc... i could quote the percents for u... so again u cling to pointing out several losers among the rich... i could argue they hardly felt the pain knowing how rich they were! u can handle ALOT of trouble when rich: paying lawyers to take care of the trouble, moving, paying people off... money is a GREAT WAY to avoid trouble and leave it behind, like with divorce... look at all the poor together couples that can't afford to leave each other... NOT HAPPY! in any case my main point is that we should play the odds for a better future for all, which includes greater wealth and prosperity for us all! sadly capitalism leaves many good well intentioned people with great work ethic in the dust... actually higher IQ people have more empathy... so i'd add to your idea that FEAR is more an overriding principle for many wealthy beyond empathy and detaching yourself from your wealth as u give it away... the rich already "give" more than most as they pay more taxes, don't think this doesn't figure into their charity after that! - so i really don't know what level of wealth should be practically outlawed beyond which we have some crazy high tax rate, 90%+... - many jobs are attached to rolls royce, yachts and plenty of frivolous wealth spending... so there would also be a "blandification" of our consumerism at the top if we didn't allow obscenely wealthy people to exist, the best of jewelry, the best of ships, boats, planes, architecture, all going the way of the middle class in some commie redistribution... so how do we protect that level of the economy and tax them more? i don't know... i DO know that workers SHOULD BE PAID MORE

USA is known for having one of the very worst stark contrasts of wealth among 1st world nations, i think we are still the worst, but many don't know that lesser developed and third world nations many times have MUCH worse stark contrasts of class than even america! this shows how much more important it is in these countries to have redistribution as our USA "poverty" would be most people in the world's upgrade to a much better standard of living... - u a UKer? what do u think of scotland devolution and the vote recently? i lived in scotland for years... in florida now

There are so many levels of intelligence: academics, emotional, physical. And there is a wisdom that may only come with experience. Most of us (human beings) are gifted in something and each one of us has our own calling.
Which Asians are we talking about here? We (Korean, Japanese, Chinese) are very different from Southeast Asian people (Thai, Philippines, Indonesians, Malaysians...) completely different kind. Obviously there is intelligence difference too.
We're all humans. Any of us can be "smart" and "successful" depending on our situation and environment. Also some kids can develop mental illnesses such as depression and social anxiety or be bullied or have verbally abusive parents which can hold them back from doing good in school unlike the other kids who grew up with nice happy families and friends that supported them.
If everyone calculate what they been doing with their time then it is very clear as to why people are doing better then other in education, careers, wealth, and life. If you take a baby from the stones age and give them the same education, same motivation, have them occupy on the same thing at the same amount of time and effort, you would get the same result. It has nothing to do with been smarter. As human we only use 10% of our brain capacity. Some people want to use a little more and some just choose not to use their brain at all. hehe

That would be because different population groups were ahead of others at different times. Homo Sapiens came into existence 190,000 years ago and since then the people who could be termed the most advanced has shifted around the globe, first one group then the other. As a result we have no reliable measure of intelligence between different population groups-or even any way of proving such differences exist.
You know, with tiger parenting the kids probably won't like you at first, but they'll probably say "It's because of my parents' push that I manage this" when they achieve something. And then after a while of pushing, your child would maybe be competitive enough by himself or at least adapt and accept it--especially if the child live in Asia for their childhood at least, so all the Asian stuffs would already be subconsciously rooted in you--then parents won't even need to push their child. Then, even when parents are not present, your child will still do well because...well, as I am Asian, for myself, before I even realise it myself, after so many good scores in my childhood because of my parents, I'll feel bad if I get bad scores and try to study harder by myself to score higher--because that's all I know how to do.
Personally, as an Asian, I don't think that there's such a thing like an "intelligence superior" race. Honestly, everyone is born differently with different IQs and talents and it just depends on them to choose which one they's prefer to concentrate on polishing. I'm an Asian and I'm not half as smart as my friends from all kinds of different races. However, that doesn't mean that anything that and Asian achieve is due to their "hardworking nature". The hell is that? I've always been known for being lazy and still managed to score much higher than some people, and there are Asians out there that I know (I'm just gonna mention the Asians now, doesn't mean that these are things only Asians achieve) never even work at all and still get perfect scores. It's disturbing how there's an increasing number of people who believe that all Asians try hard, and no Asians are smart or talented, that they only got to where they are due to pure hard work. I can work a 1000 times harder and still won't get to where those Asians are. A lot of time, I found my other friends working much harder than my Asian friends (as I said not everyone, but it is the case for some. News flash! People!). To me being told "You're hardworking" is a compliment, but I found as time goes on, the term becomes more of an insult than a compliment. Why is that? And honestly, it's not just the study department, I've met a lot Asians who are so artistic (they can't do math for shit, so f*** you stereotypes) and much more talented than some others, yet they are always disregarded as being "hardworking." It's ridiculous to my eyes that some people would make excuses (and about other people on top of that) to explain their inabilities. If I'm stupid, I say that I'm stupid. If I'm not talented and can't play instruments, it's because I'm not talented and can't play instruments. It's not because I'm not as hardworking, or because my parents don't force me as much. My parents are Asian Asians, and I've never gotten pressured to achieve perfect score, in fact my mother always tells me to try hard, but not overwork myself. They don't even ask for my score report anymore after 7th grade. They don't care what I do, but I've never do anything to embarrass them. Why? Because that's just me, and I don't want to repay their love with sh*t. Sometimes, I do feel like some people just need to grow up, not excluding some Asians. It's fine to want to be more confident, but don't do so by bringing other people down.

Not scaled down-squashed down. If he ever wore pants, Neanderthal's belt size would be 75in and it would be muscle, not fat. He was a walking tank. Though his brain was slightly larger than ours on average, he was so much bulkier that his brain mass to body mass ratio was lower than ours.

Since the very concept of prime numbers means that both multiplication and division have been achieved, this means Africans invented basic mathematics far ahead of the Caucasian or Asian.

Knowledge cannot be force by anyone to someone. Even if the parents punish, hang them upside down or torture the kid, there's not much they can do about it if the child is dumb or stupid. Guidance of a parents helps but when the child mature, the child genes started to kick in. So yes, race had something to do with it in a big way.

Intelligence is not something that is taught, it's either you have or you don't. You can increase by studying certain subject but not to the point getting a perfect score. It's like telling someone who has no athletic skill and only 5'5 and you tell him that he can play just like Michael Jordan and be able to make millions in NBA. Again, if you're '6'6 like Michael Jordan with athletic skill then you won't be like MJ no matter how discipline you are, just like intelligence if you're not born intelligent then you're going against upstream when trying to competing with people who are much much smarter than you in certain subjects.

It's like this, a Tiger that decided to not kill anymore and turn vegetarian. Do you think this tiger is going to be happy in the long run?

Andrei Mirt What's MJ has to say really matters? He's not a scientist? he's just a freaking baller man! Most athletes are brainless and uneducated. That's not th point here. The point is that life has a way of making this world go around and have people produce goods and technology so we humans can survive. With that being said everyone here on earth is programmed uniquely and shaped uniquely as well. We are born with certain genes hence we have different interests and intelligence level among us. MJ is and NEVER will be a good baseball player which he proved he wasn't and someone like you or me would NEVER be as great as MJ in basketball because NATURE has made it that way.
when I went to university on a Saturday night you would see a lot of Chinese sitting down studying while everyone else is partying or at the nightclub..years later those same Chinese are pushing Mercedes Benz and range rover... hard work and sacrifice pays off there's not a big secret...
There is some academic material that is difficult to grasp no matter how much time you spend studying it. For example, either you have an aptitude for learning advanced Math or you don't. I think Asian brains are better at what is needed to achieve academic success.
My husband is Chinese but I am Irish. I encouraged but never pushed my six children yet all of them were brilliant at school and university. So I think that the Chinese are very brainy!

Correct.
This interview is a ridiculous one though --- I'm a professor teaching business Bachelor degree using English only as teaching medium at well know Chinese University -- there's not much difference overall in the classes I teach (tax law my main specialty) -- you have outstandingly intelligent students, right down to very poor standard, same as in any Western University. I think however, that after 12 years of school, Western students (first year University) are more equipped to figure out unexpected analytical/logical/reasoning questions in exam papers, not directly covered during year/semester, than Chinese students -- this is not due to any lesser ability by Chinese students, but due to their over-exaggerated emphasis on volume and memorising for the gaokao prior to University (and in fact over their entire lives until then, starting with 3 years old). This balance does get fixed after they enter University, though it has to be said that China Universities pretty much carries on that school tradition of teaching and studying at the Bachelors level. However, these Chinese students do go out and get Master degrees at overseas Universities after graduating with Bachelors degrees on the Mainland, so there's no lesser ability ultimately due to the school system, but there is certainly a gap to overcome. So the moral of this whole story is this : There is absolutely zero benefit in driving your children, as in China, from 3 years old until 18, to memorise massive amounts of information, retaining little knowledge, and neglecting original and creative problem solving skills, leaving very little time for creative brain development, sport, social interaction etc -- as Western school children ends up pretty much on the same level after 12 years of school, in fact, even better prepared for University undergraduate study, due to different brain development --- less memorising, more focus on understanding and solving, than memorising volumes of information. School years (including pre-school) should be about overall development of the mind in all its facets, not as one-dimensional as most of the Chinese school system produces. Fortunately it is a feather in the cap of Chinese students that they have the ability and tenacity to overcome that lack, once they are confronted with it at postgraduate level.

I agree. The comments were too biased in my opinion. As a reporting programs, comments like those violate the simple law of unbiased reporting. The lines between journalism and plain talk-show-gossip are blurring
They're not smarter. They are very well disciplined. One being that many Asian parents migrated to the states in search of a better life. Because they never had the luxury and the opportunities, they want their kids to have every opportunity and to succeed. Asian parents push harder and are more strict, but it's for a good reason I believe so. Statistically showing they are academically more intelligent than than the rest. People say " Oh he's so smart because he's Asian" its not really the case. Its because of discipline. Historically you can go back and see that the Chinese, the Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese were very disciplined people. It can be traced centuries. If you want it bad enough like these parents and kids you can most certainly achieve it. Its all about discipline.

MrKimchiNinja IQ tests are vastly overrated. Subsaharan Africans, supposedly the bottom of the totem pole in IQ tests, invented the spear thrower 30,000 years before either the European or the Asian. As this invention enabled the user to kill game from 40 yards away, it vastly increased the food supply and the chances of survival for the entire tribe. Yet Eurasians didn't pick it up for tens of thousands of years. Additionally, Nubians were building large buildings and cities while Europeans and East Asians were still living in small villages. This fact does not necessarily make the European or Asian inferior to the African, for various conditions must exist before civilizations can flourish. But it does make it impossible to argue for European/Asian superiority in intelligence.

MrKimchiNinja Obviously you're wrong, since Africans were erecting large buildings and roads when East Asians were still living in huts. Unless you want to take the position that a population of the slow witted are building 30 foot high edifices while the quick witted continue to live in grass huts for many thousands of years. It is not hard to believe that civilization can come earlier to one group than another, and both can be of equal intelligence. Environmental and climatic factors would come into play there. Proving that civilization comes first to the less intelligent is not really possible. Buildings and roads beat controversial tests every time.
Actual Short Answer: Obviously, Asia has a TON of people, so students are pushed very hard to succeed. If not, they would fail their lives. So that goes through genes and plus, other countries don't push as hard. For example, Chinese students learn the multiplication tables at age 5. Think about that next time your racist.
There are always people smart and intelligence that even you work as hard as them you can't achieve same level.
Wt i think is it doesn't matter if we ar asains or europeans or wt evr. Hard working and one's talent is the key to success . So anyone can be smart if we try hard..... ☺☺
Asian culture is one of hard work and no excuses. A culture many others have abandoned. It has little to do with genetics.

It isn't as if Novosibirsk-born Maxim Vengerov or Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky-born Igor Smirnov (the latter once a president of Transnistria) is alone among prominent people born in what had once been considered an Asian part of the USSR.

While I do agree with you to a certain extent, the only reason your able to rattle off such names is because you grew up in a westernized culture. Ask any native chinese person the same question and they can very well do the same. Its really the same case with the jews. All you really have to do is look at two things: diet and family values. Look at what jews eat and compare it with asians. Lean protein, healthy carbs, plenty of vegetables. Look at similarities in family values. Parents typically work hard for there children so all the children's mental energies can be spent studying. Add a little parental guilt/pressure and national pride and you got a recipe for success.

The history of America and european countries is about 200-300 years. The chinese state has the history about 5000 years. Asians were dominating and leading over the world for thousands of years. Actually the word "Asia" means "The land of Gods". Europeans called them so. The european words "lat.Ordo, Orden, eng.Order, germ.Ordnung, etc." come from asian "Orda" or "Horde" - means "state" or "center of power". Nomadic asians were the first people on Earth, who domesticated the horse, and till the 19-20th century the horse was the main and the only economical, transport and war power in all the countries of the world! Asians were the first people, who invented the metallurgy, used for making different stuff for horses - harness, stirrups, swords, arrows. First heavy armor and cavalry were invented by asians. Even first boots with the heels were invented by asians for holding in the stirrups, and the pants were invented by asians for riding too. Europeans didn't know the pants before they met asians. European men and women wored only same skirts. The ancient greek fairytails about centaurs were based on the impressions of europeans by seeing the asian warriors riding the horses. And those centaurs in legends were very smart, powerfull, and they teached the wild europeans many things. Asians created the most great empire of the mankind - the Mongol Empire, which included almost the whole eurasian continent from japanese see till the Hungary and Austria. Mongols respected all religions, free society, international tradings, equal human rights, free access to education, invented diplomatic rules etc. - all that stuff were the basis of our modern world. So europeans used many asian inventions. But asians never had slaves, and europeans in contrast brought millions of slaves from Africa to work for them. So they have got easily reach, had many free time for science and travelling. They had found some old technological artifacts and books in Egypt and Tybet. Also, as say people in internet, european governments have a contact with an alien civilization from about 18-19 century - actually this is the secret of european technological rise: they did not become suddenly smarter in the last 100-150 years, they just receive the technologies from a high developed alien race.

European Renaissance was a rebirth, not of Greece or Rome, but of ideas from the Mongol Empire: Under the widespread influences from the paper and printing, gunpowder and firearms, and the spread of the navigational compass and other maritime equipment, Europeans experienced a Renaissance, literally a rebirth, but it was not the ancient world of Greece or Rome being reborn. It was the Mongol Empire, picked up, transferred, and adapted by the Europeans to their own needs and culture. [p. 237] Some of the points mentioned are: Astronomy: "New knowledge from the travel writings of Marco Polo to the detailed star charts of Ulugh Beg proved that much of [the Western] received classical knowledge was simply wrong." p. 236 Paper money: experiments in Persian Il-Khanate (p. 204-5), also p. 236 Art: The Franciscans, who had wide contacts with the Mongol court, and Mongol/Persian art influenced Giotto di Bondone and his disciples, so much so that St. Francis' life was depicted in Mongol dress - "literally wrapped in silk". Also, a 1306 illustration of the Robe of Christ in Padua, the golden trim was painted in Mongol letters from the square Phagspa script commissioned by Khublai Khan (p. 237-8) Democracy and Government: Suggests that some of Kublai Khan's reforms in China, which localized power and gave political strength to individual farms, was the first democratic experience in China, and continued only when the Republicans and Communists began to reintroduce local government. The author also suggests that the tribal government of the Mongols had many democratic elements, and refers to Mongol leaders being selected by council (khuriltai) as "elections", although, these like the Athenian or Roman versions, may be more properly called election by an elite (an oligarchy). In addition, he repeatedly declares that the Khans ruled through the will of the people. The book argues that the Mongol Empire was the impetus for the European Age of Discovery. Europeans two centuries later were trying to reclaim the lucrative global trade that was lost when the Mongol Empire collapsed. A brief list of some of the ways in which Mongol influence, according to Weatherford's claims, helped shape Renaissance Europe: - Unprecedented religious tolerance; - Low level of discrimination toward other races; - Low level of meddling with local customs and culture; - The idea of rule by consensus within Mongol tribes; - Culture of meritocracy; - Culture that believed in the rule of law; - Strong sponsorship of Eurasian trade; - Building of roads to support trade; - First culture to promote universal literacy; - First international postal system; - First widespread use of paper money; - Reduction of the use of torture in the penal system; - Belief in diplomatic immunity for ambassadors/envoys; h t t p: //www. answers. com/topic/genghis-khan-and-the-making-of-the-modern-world 2004 New York Times Best Seller book by Jack Weatherford, Dewitt Wallace Professor of Anthropology at Macalester College.

Rather Notsay The word "Asia" comes from latin "Ace" - meaning "the one, single, unity" - the God. (Eng. "Ace", germ. "der Ass", fr. "le As", rus. "Acc" etc.)
Most parents of foreign students apparently instill in their children to respect education and to value their teacher. On the other hand, perhaps most American parents encourage their children to respect social status, sports, and other superficialities of a society that dispenses jobs on whom you know instead of what you know.
I know people who scored top marks in their exams and they never came across as being truly smart (being able to improvise and do something they haven't studied for), only very well motivated. I believe that motivation, in the form of parental pressure, is what makes Asians stereotypically smarter.
Nope. Had an Asian classmate in high school who was put on academic probation, and then was caught cheating on the final and expelled.

Our parents push us just because they are scared that because we are in another country and we are different from everyone. We might be treated badly but if we have a good education or talent then our future will take a path for the better. Some parents push their child more than others. But stereotyping Asian parents as heartless child abusers that only want honor is a load of bull. Yea there are a LITTLE Asian parents like that but there are parents like that EVERYWHERE on this world. Our parents did not risk their lives coming to America (or countries other than Asia), not knowing the language, work two or more jobs, be hated on by racists, just to be called heartless and mean.
