There seems to be some White nationalists who like to claim that White people have invented almost everything. There are also Jewish supremacists who claim that they have the highest IQ and that, considering the size of their population, they have invented proportionally the most. There seems to be even some East Asians, who argue that they invented most of the things before the other peoples reinvented them. This looks like a competition who should be credited with most inventions. It is insane since most inventions have been essentially evil.
Finns never invented much anything. That is a sure sign of high intelligence. When I was young I learned of one Finnish invention, by a Finnish woman. It was the drying cupboard: you just replace the floor of a cupboard with a trellis so that water can drop to the sink below. I was surprised that foreigners did not invent such a simple thing, but later I lived abroad and noticed that the Finnish solution works only if there is very little calcium in the water: with more calcium drinking glasses do not get so clean unless you dry them. That must have been the only Finnish invention I had heard of as young. Then much later Nokia made lots of patents, it did not quite fit to the traditional national image.
Later the question of who invented what came up and I tried to think what Finns might have invented. It had to be something very fundamental to the civilization and something so old that nobody remembered the inventors. It could have been a door. Nabuteans in the Levant invented houses, or at least square houses built from clay, but their houses did not have doors: they climbed inside through the roof. They still did not know of doors in Timbuktu: there the people climbed inside from a window. But I guess the inventor of a door was not a Finn. If so, maybe the inventor of a chair was a Finn. Some exceptionally clever Finn invented that you can sit on a stone and so the chair was invented by a masterly strike of Finnish genius. But I guess a chair also was invented before there were Finns, yet Finns for sure reinvented it to fit to the local surroundings. There are lots of stones in Finland.
What about it if it was a reinvention? Reinvention is about as good as invention. Think for instance of gunpowder. People say of someone who is not the brightest that he is no gunpowder inventor and then there is a joke: let’s invent gunpowder – but it is already invented – so, let’s invent more gunpowder. But it is no joke: some chemists do invent more gunpowder all the time. The gunpowder we use is not the black gunpowder what it originally was. The same is with wheels. It is no joke to reinvent the wheel. You have to reinvent wheels all the time, like the small wheels there now are in suitcases. Earlier suitcases did not have wheels, but you felt like a real man carrying them. So, reinventing that you can sit on a stone is quite bright, as good as the original invention.
Probably a chair does not qualify as a Finnish (re)invention, but there are some that certainly are Finnish, for instance a Finnish knife, that is, not just a knife as those were invented long ago, but the Finnish national knife puukko. Only Finns could invent a Finnish knife. The same is true with Finnish sauna. Romans had saunas, but they did not have Finnish saunas as they did not even know there are Finns. They mixed up Finns with Saami people, which is a bad mistake as Finns do not have reindeers. Then there is a great Finnish culinary invention called mämmi. It is certainly Finnish and very tasty if you add lots of cream and sugar, well, anything is tasty after those additions, except for the rotten fish food surströmming, but that one is definitely a Swedish invention from Sverige.
But maybe these are not big enough inventions for White nationalists. I know, those nationalists would like something a bit bigger. I would happily credit many inventions to any evil supremacist group because inventions are fundamentally evil, not good at all, but I cannot as Northern Europeans did not invent most of them. Let’s see the history.
Nabuteans of the Levant invented fixed settlements including square houses without doors. Great. Genetically Nabuteans had mostly Y-DNA haplogroup E, so they were like Egyptians or other North Africans, not like the later immigrants to that area. The result of this great invention was collection of property, which inevitably resulted to wars, a class of priests, kings and nobles, and so on, and just by living in fixed settlements they gave birth to many new infectious diseases, they got rats and mice and all other vermin. It is only very recently that humans have recovered from this mother of all evil inventions.
When the Nabuteans had eaten all antilopes and had to start agriculture the quality of the diet worsened, I mean, it was Einkorn wheat, only one seed in the whole plant, or even the whole field, you cannot get full from that. So they got both shorter and more stupid. In fact, you find today the cleverest people from some of the places where high civilization has been known the shortest time, like the far North. Farmers started human sacrifices, they go along with agriculture in areas where watering is by rain, and larger scale polygamy, which resulted in a mutational overload in the Y-chromosome and the collapse of early agricultural societies. They also started slavery and forced labor duty and building useless stone structures. This second worst invention by humanity was put off for some three thousand years, but around 4000 BC humans again started agriculture and again got all the same evils.
It got still considerably worse with the next great invention: animal husbandry. Humans enslaved several species of animals, using them for meat, milk, wool and work. These animals are still enslaved, today in factory-type production installations where all animals suffer, they are not so much different from humans, just imprison yourself if you think it is fine. There is only one animal species that likes humans, a dog. The others only tolerate us. The dog was tamed, or tamed itself, by European hunter-gatherers. As wolfs are as evil animals as humans, they instantly liked each other and were very happy killing and eating other animals. So, that was a good marriage, but all these cows, sheep, goats and swine dislike humans who has reduced them from proud wild animals to production means. Swine, if allowed, are very happy to ear human corpses. That was the third major invention.
The fourth invention was not so bad: ceramics. It seems to have originated in Manchuria close to Korea in the comb ceramics culture around 6,000 BC. It appears a bit later in the Middle East and they may have got it from comb ceramics. This one, in a way, is a Finnish invention as comb ceramics is associated with the Y-DNA haplogroup N, but of course, there no Finns yet at that time. Clever Finns would not have invented such evil things. There must be something evil with ceramics also. It took me a while to think what it might be, but then I got it: humans make such containers with a smaller opening and larger inside and put food to the container, so the result is that some animal sticks its head to the container and cannot get it out. So it would die with a ceramic vase in its head looking ridiculous and miserable. This is know to happen to bears, who find jars with honey inside. I am absolutely sure this invention costed lots of animal lives. And partially it is our fault. I am getting a guilt complex just thinking about it.
Next came the great inventions of metals, a wheeled carriage and taming of the horse, all originating from the Caspian area, probably by many people, some being Indo-Europeans, some Uralic or Turkish and the rest some other dubious people. All these peoples used metals for weapons and horses in wars. They went on killing, robbing and raping other people and spread their murderous genes everywhere. There still remains such a gene: serial killers are almost always men of Indo European ancestry. Notice, not Finnic: Finnish men mainly kill themselves and, because they are so kindhearted, kill their families so that the wife and children would not be crying after them.
Maybe this is enough of old inventions, but wait a minute, I did not find any evil inventions created by Africans. This is easily fixed: Africans invented the bow and arrow. That is evil enough. Australian aborigines invented the boomerang and they also independently invented a spear thrower. Also Eurasians invented atlatl, so this evil invention cannot be attributed to any single people, and spears were used before Homo Sapiens.
I could not think of some really old East Asian invention, but later they invented a compass, gunpowder, fireworks and so on. All of these inventions are evil. Fireworks, for instance, cause lots of stress to animals and compass looks ridiculous nowadays. I took a compass with me to orient in a city on a trip. My companions all had smart phones with a path finder program. They made fun of my compass, so I blame the Chinese.
No, I should be serious.
I better jump straight to the beginning of the New Age just after the Renaissance. Why did the industrial revolution start in Western Europe rather than in the Islamic world or China? This time seriously.
Steam engine was invented many times before, including a design by Leonardo da Vinci and a patented pump by a Spaniard, but the first commercially successful engine was built in England for pumping water from mines. The critical issue was commercial success.
Another landmark of the industrial revolution was the spinning jenny. It was a powered by a watermill, which was an old invention. The demand of textile industry had grown so high that production had to be increased.
Clearly, it was not the unique British capability of inventions but the British economy and a growing market. It is not so that the British had more brain power to invent these things. Italians and Spanish could have or had invented them earlier. Chinese could have invented them. Only Finns might have been too clever to waste time to such nonsense. But it is so that nothing comes out of these inventions if there is no need for them. In England there was growing need for mining and textile products, probably because they had conquered new colonies. There was a reason to put the new inventions to use and so the industrial revolution started. Any nation with an average IQ about 100 and at least one million inhabitants has enough brain power for anything, if by brain power we mean people with IQ over 150. It is just that mostly this brain power is not needed and not used. And that is basically good, since most of the things that humans invent will sooner or later create a catastrophe.
It is largely a question of money. Money and markets.
Capital is needed for realizing commercially successful inventions. It may be interesting to notice that the industrial revolution started at the time when the main money lenders had been expulsed from Western Europe. These money lenders escaped to Eastern Europe. Industrialization went much slower in Eastern Europe though the genetic difference to Western Europe is small. These money lenders were not investing in technical inventions. They practiced usury.
As the money lenders were absent from the West, enough money was available for enterprising people, who realized how they could earn by technical inventions. The former money lenders were paying a large part of the money to kings who used it to wars and luxury. And so the Western Europeans made all those fancy technical things. And not only technical, there was demand for all kinds of inventions.
But back to Russia. The city people in Eastern Europe were from one ethnic group, which, despite the famed high IQ, did not develop any new technical (or other) inventions. They just grew families, studied their books and dreamt of the end of the times when they will destroy all others. When the Russian Czar decided to industrialize the country, he invited Germans and other foreigners to build factories. At that time all basic things were already invented, it was just to catch up with the West. Therefore there were no new inventions from the East, but if any such recently industrialized country, like China, spends money on education and universities and sets up firms and has many positions to researchers, for sure they can invent new things exactly the same way as in the West.
But it has to be so that there is money and demand. Enterprising people must have a possibility of earning money by new inventions, otherwise these inventions go to dust in shelves like my scientific publications.
Yet, I assure you, all this is evil. It will end to a catastrophe. Human life span is not one bit longer. Well, it has in practice been longer since hunter-gatherers were killing infants, at least twins, all of them were killing children if there were too many, that is a past abortion, and they were killing or deserting old people, since there was nobody to take care of them. (Nobody said they were kind people, humans are not kind people.) By the way, it will be the same in some time. Not that they will kill the old, but there will not be pensions and nobody will take care of them, maybe some self-use machines, but the old people will not know how to use them. And they abort children. It will be the same as it was.
The wisest is not to invent anything. The Paleolithic stone age lasted hundreds of thousands of years and the last 100 thousand years even with the very smart Homo Sapiens, people like us, but mostly they preferred not to invent anything new. They did not need these new inventions. They did not even need medicines against infectious diseases, as there were no such things in sparse populations and they did not live so long as to get old age illnesses. They did not need many things we have and still lived their lives more or less as happy as we. Maybe it is not what you may want, but finally development will slow down and stop and hunter-gatherers will inherit the globe after we have perished in a catastrophe we have made. The natural course of events is that there are short periods of fast change and long periods of no or very small change. As this is so in evolution, it should be so in development.
So, finally I managed to prove that Finns must be the most intelligent people in Europe as they have invented practically nothing and it is those shortsighted evildoers who have invented all these evil things the ignorant call development. Only the Chinese beat Finns, as Chinese, due to there huge population, have invented even less than Finns per capita. This shows their superior wisdom.
