"Capability is substantially more genetic than environmental anyway"
I am confused how the Chinese can have such a surging middle class if it is genetic. Certainly they have not changed their genetics too much in the last 50 years.

Why would anything need to have changed in the last 50 years?
- rileymat2 11y agoIf the genetics did not change, then something must explain their past performance. Perhaps the environment.
- puredemo 11y agoWhat are you referring to when you say "past performance" specifically? Are you talking about the Great Leap Forward, which killed tens of millions? You realize we're discussing individuals getting hired in a job market, not genocidal dictatorships in Asia 50+ years ago, right?
