> My understanding of life as a young professional in China or Korea is that the competition is almost unbelievable to someone from North America. South Korea and China competition is "working harder". In the US it's all about "working smarter" Also with all due respect for South Korea and China...very risk averse. The big jumps happen when you take a risk and beat the odds, not the endless grinding which goes on in Asian societies. Asian societies lack the arrogance of the creator/founder, which abounds in the West, especially American Jews. Imagining something new and having the arrogance to think that it will be a great success and you'll be the one bringing it into the world. This is the trademark American Jew mindset. Zuck turned down 1 Billion for Facebook...Larry and Sergey 1 million for Google. It takes guts and arrogance to think you'll beat the odds and say "no thanks" to 1 billion (and to 1 million too! considering it was back in the 90s and it was a very good deal for the effort they put into it)

i don't know why you say "American Jew" because that trait is a trademark of Americans of all race, religions, and creeds not American Jews only. ( skip to 1:06 ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ4aDgZSjDo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ4aDgZSjDo

  It is, but Jews have both the arrogance as well as the capabilities and the IQ to make their attempts successful Regardless, the more impulsive a society is, the more arrogant it is. America and especially American Jews have the right mix of arrogance and capabilities to make the dream come true. I'd say : 1) Africa has all the arrogance and impulsiveness but lacks in capabilities 2) Asia has the capabilities but lacks arrogance 3) Europe has both the capabilities and the arrogance but not as much as USA 4) Usa is the sweet spot, and American Jews are in the sweetest spot

    Somebody likes to generalize large populations of people - sort them neatly into buckets and label them.

      Violence rates don't lie! Interpersonal violence and confidence in yourself go hand in hand at the societal level. Places where interpersonal violence abounds has people being so arrogant and believing in themselves that they have no qualms attacking others, because they KNOW that they can't possibly lose. This is Africa Places where interpersonal violence is low has people being very conservative and avoiding confrontations because they are scared of losing or succumbing to them: this is clearly Asia and Europe to a certain degree The US is in a sweet spot, actually it was in a sweet spot in the 80s, now it has abandoned it and moving towards European type society. Still it's the closest place to a sweet spot it once occupied and still benefiting from the time it spent in that sweet spot
