Things are still going well.


That was 2012. This year, we're beating the crap out of everyone and capturing an asteroid.

Well, you gotta remember that a lot of competing at that level is training -- and the best training, in many sports, requires facilities. I imagine that a lot of the native talent from places like Yemen and Iraq (where they're having civil wars) is not being as fully developed as it could be. Others of those countries are dirt poor.

Of course, they're poor for reasons. Places like the Congo are resource-rich, but they aren't rich. If you ask them why not, they'll give you an answer that sounds like "Colonialism." Maybe, but also maybe not.

The Japanese must have expected hearing about the shooting news. Not only is America the home of the gun culture, but they also have the best marksmanship training. Combining quality and quantity was supposed to be unfeasible.

The other theory is that the Christian god favored certain human tribes with accidents and inspiration, in order to promote technological discovery. Everything humans know to this date, is also known by divine level entities. Thus, anything the human species would discover about quantum mechanics for another 1000 years, is also known by divine level entities, and may even be sent to the past, if temporal violations do not affect divine level entities. The fact that humans can predict the future, may attest to temporal violations of linear time.

The current meta science or new hypothesis, is that DNA is what sets the difference. My view of DNA and evolution had slightly different but updated segments, compared to what people are talking about now comparing white/black DNA and IQ. The field's current mistake is translocating cause and effect. While there is a difference between the projected and tested IQ of black and white tribes, that is not caused by DNA or environmental factors. Rather, I would think that is the result of them. Hence, reverse cause and effect. That is of course, not introducing divine level powers like a god, into the closed system.
