The African riddle
How is this even possible?

Just the boredom alone of having absolutely no stuff or things to interact with or think about, would kill me and most people on earth.

What is the reason for this?

Uh, are you sure? Ethiopians had most of the prerequisites for what we’d call a civilizationβ€”writing, governance, tools, trade, and religion. It might not have been as impressive or advanced as other civilizations like the Chinese, Indian, Byzantine, or Persian, but it was still a long-lasting, functioning society."

Zero proof of this at all. Just more globohomo "theorizing" and laughably dubious "evidence". The funny part is that the more "advanced" they try to make the Nogs seem in Antiquity, the less advanced they appear as a result. After all, if dhey invented iron n'sheiiit, why are they still in mud huts thousands of years later? Better to just say there was nothing going on in the first place. At least then they can't be blamed for having literally zero "progress" despite other peoples doing so under the same conditions.

"Ethiopians" may be below this arbitrary line, but they are not "Sub-Saharan, Black Africans" and never have been.

The answer is because nobody lived there. I'm being 100 percent serious. For most of human history, Africa was very sparsely populated compared to Asia and Europe

Also, Native Americans north of Mesoamerica didn't do much in the way of inventions or written language either, so you're holding blacks to a double standard in this regard.

In ancient times, some Arabians crossed over into the horn of Africa, where Eritrea and Ethiopia are today. You can still see some inscriptions with Old South Arabian language carved on it.

Later, Sub-saharans largely drove out these Arabian colonies by, as it would seem, chimping out at them. Nowadays these areas are largely negro as a result.

The real answer is that anon is bullshitting.
agriculture, stoneworking, metalworking, complex governance, construction, trade, sea-faring, astronomy, math, and in a certain regions written language were already developed in Sub Saharan Africa across millennia and most of these technologies developed independently.

Yes sparse populations, along with disease, climate, isolation, lack of domesticable animals, jungles, deserts etc. etc. prevented certain developments from appearing at certain points in certain regions. But SSA was never developmentally "stagnant" in its totality.

Correct. The Slave trade in the region is older than History and there has always been lots of geneflow back and forth, until the "Modern Era".

Certainly, all of the "elite" in Ethiopia have been quite light for thousands of years, as can be seen in their own art and architecture. There are many "Ethiopians" in the Bible and Greek Myths, as well, but the term was a bit nebulous and just sort of meant anything South of Egypt, which is why they're confused with Nilotic types, such as the Sudanese, who are the "blackest" people on Earth.

I can play this same game too, anon.

Listed below are a multitude of reasons why the lower 48 states are impossible to develop technologically:

>1. Isolation & Access
- Nevadan & Texan Desert blocks East-West connection
- Deep South coasts lack natural harbors
-NorthEastern Rivers blocked by rapids/waterfalls.

>2. Triple Transport Trap
- No deep-South water ports
- Few ocean-navigable rivers
- Most landlocked states globally (27)

>3. Disease & Agriculture
- Only continent fully spanning subtropics
- CowPox & Bird flu prevents livestock use
- Limited, fragmented farmland in Western half of America due to 40+ year drought

>4. Resource Paradox
- World's richest mineral (Lithium, Aluminum, Iron, Copper) deposits hidden deep inside national parks.
- Highest extraction and transportation costs locally
- Geography prevents efficient resource use

This creates a devastating cycle: Rich resources can't efficiently reach global markets compared to Saudi Arabia & China, thus limiting development in the Rust belt, which in turn prevents infrastructure improvements that could overcome geographic barriers.

Therefore, in theory the "lower 48" states should be equally as impoverished as Africa is, given that we can find the exact same kinds of geographical challenges.

Technology is built off of incentives, not random ingenuity. All that reflects is just that the societies in Sub-Saharan Africa weren't organized particularly in a way where it would incentivize all the technologies that came about in empire-building cultures like Europe or China, for whatever reason.
>>17950498
Dumbass. We know why China didn't keep up with gun technology. It was due to lack of incentives in developing gun technology. Traditional Chinese style of forts were impervious to early cannons, while the European castles were particularly vulnerable to them, prompting the European to innovate on fort technology which led to an arms race between fort and cannon technology thus leading to better gun technology in general.

Neither, false dichotomy. If the geography of Africa is holding it back in impoverishment and stagnation today, right now - preventing postcolonial Africa, with the modern benefits of technology available now, from becoming Wakanda, as commonly taught due to its resource paradox/curse - the same geographic determinism must also be valid elsewhere.

Explanation: The lower 48 states are riddled with geographic barriers, including the Rocky Mountains, Appalachian Mountains, and the Great Plains in the midwest. These create natural divisions that isolate the communities separated by them. The Mississippi River is prone to flooding and unpredictable currents. These mountains and other barriers act as a permanent roadblock to any integration between far-flung communities separated by them. This makes it impossible for these communities to share resources or innovations.

The humid climate of the Southeast fosters diseases like yellow fever, discouraging urbanization in affected areas. Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever are spread by ticks in the Great Plains region. In the Midwest, powerful blizzards and windstorms isolate rural communities, which is worsened by the dustbowl effect which can result in famine conditions.

The existence of oil in Texas and coal in Appalachia creates a resource curse, wherein economies depend on extraction. The discovery of oil in Texas and gold in California creates regional rivalries, trapping inhabitants into a fight over finite wealth that spirals into generational conflicts and "brush wars." The battle for control over these rich resources creates a neverending cycle of conflict, further compounding impoverishment and worsening corruption and economic stagnation. The abundance of resources only serves to fuel localized conflict, creating a serious roadblock to development.

We are, but the word habesha today is used a bit too widely, when I say Habesha I mean ethio-semetic IE Tigre, Tigrayans+Biher, Amharas etc. Everyone else aren't. Semetic has been thought to be spoken in the area since 2000 B.C so the idea that ARABS migrated into the place when they didn't even exist is a bit disingenuous. Also said "arabians" weren't really lightskinned but rather brown, look into the extinct south-arabian languages and their folks they look like southern indians lol.
The name ETHIOPIA came after the Kingdom of Aksum conquered Nubia and larped as them due to their historical significance, it's a larp. And people in the countries of Ethiopia/Eritrea that are habesha even cushites regularly call themselves "red" not black, and thinking in racial terms is a bit stupid since we're looking from a western(or at least westernized) perspective.

Technically they are black but Apartheid system had weird clauses in them.

the only africans that invented writing are egyptians, and even that's debatable.
however europeans also never invented writing, they copied it from the semites of the levant so its not really the gotcha chuds think it is

Wrong. The oldest "Writing" we have is in Europe, as is the oldest wheel, the oldest metal work, the oldest celestial observations, etc....

Europe is the "Cradle of Civilization". Not the Dark Continent.
