>>17768230I think its actually the large irish diaspora in the UK that unfortunately drags down UK stats. all those paddys in liverpool, manchester and glasgow take us down from 105 to closer to their level. then add in all the blacks and poles and welsh and before you know it we can barely get past 99.
97 isn't low though. the poles are smart and have contributed a lot of science and art over the centuries.
Estonians and finns are clearly smart but I think they lack he germanic heroic spirit that would allow them to capitalise on it. hence why the finns and estonians have contributed little to nothing to humanity.
