Am I the only one who thinks that the Wikipedia article titled "List of countries by Human Development Index" has a politically and racially biased list? I mean, the actual, official list, not just the Wikipedia article itself.

It doesn't make sense that Peru is slightly more developed than Mexico and right below an emerging world power like the P.R.C., which is also right below freaking Thailand. Love it or hate it, the P.R.C. is a nation with the most geniuses in the world, with advanced projects of R&D regarding technology and science, with a lot of buildings that often look (although cheaply and probably tofu-quality) more futuristic than quality and beautiful Japanese buildings; and that Japan sits at position #23...

There's an obvious pattern where the top 5 most developed countries are Nordic (except for Switzerland who's most famous invention is the cuckoo clock and where the World Economic Forum is located, and Germany), and the least developed are African. The racists of this website will agree with this pattern, and I'm not denying these countries are very evidently opposed in terms of human development, but...

Who's calculating all these factors comprising human development index? How are these calculations done and with what amount of data? How are these calculations made in such a way they're as free of human error and bias as possible?

When you start taking a look at the actual list and question it, it doesn't completely seem to add up. Again, it doesn't make sense that freaking Kuwait is 12 or so positions higher than Russia, for example. And questioning these obvious inconsistencies with some common sense should also be applicable to the list's extremes.

Like my country, right? Mexico. It doesn't make sense that after 2018 the HDI has actually gotten higher when anyone who's not a 4-T fanatic will be able to tell you, from personal experience, that the country has gotten worse in different ways.

The GDP used in its calculation is not based on PPP

It's actually quite simple, it's just an equation whose variables are
>Life expectancy at birth
>Mean years of schooling for adults
>Expected years of schooling for children
>GNI per capita

That's sort of what I'm saying, I have a hunch HDI is sort of calculated like that and it somehow ends up with "muh Scandinavian WEF socialism". Kind of like global warming data includes temperature measurements right next to airport tarmac and Google Maps air quality index very curiously follows highways in a pixelated way when you zoom out.

and GNI is a trash metric which conflates financialization of the economy with real wealth, skewing the results accordingly

The thing is, when you hear "human development index" it sounds as if you're actually comparing a lot of different factors and calculating them in as objective a way as possible, to determine which countries are more developed than others.

Wikipedia (I know it's generally not a trustworthy source but let's practice some critical thinking here) says right there that this measurement method was developed to calculate, in other words, how much countries are following the United Nations' objectives for a one world globohomo government; of what the United Nations considers "development". They don't really measure ACTUAL development, as in terms of R&D, GDP, visual indicators of urbanization, infrastructure quality, crime rates, culture decency level, number of books read per year individually, etc.

The article says factors such as life expectancy, education level and personal income are taken into account. I don't know about you, but you could have a country full of deeply indoctrinated people who falsely believe they're highly educated because their diploma says so, with women who earn a lot of money through services such as OnlyFans, who for some reason live up to 90 years of age... A country full of people like that doesn't sound like the most developed one, you know? It is difficult to scientifically measure how beautiful a country is on average because this is more empirical and an abstract concept such as beauty can't be fully explained by scientism.

At least that's how I see it at the moment (before this thread gets locked or phased out), correct me if I'm wrong.

Years of schooling is so retarded.

Maybe African nations have at least 10 years of primary school because niggers are retarded and need more time. Using this logic, they suddenly have more hdi points.

Hey, if some African countries weren't socialist nor plagued with what could be black ops agents practicing human experimentation on their populations in the guise of "humanitarianism" or something like Bill Gates' so-called (Malthusian) "philanthopy", you'd see them urbanizing faster...

How did Mr. Beast achieve much more in terms of water supply than all these governments and UN supervisors with their bureaucracies, in less time?

I actually look much more Spanish than indigenous, suspect that Freemasons ruined the Viceroyalty of New Spain's greatness (Benito Juรกrez was a freemason and still lauded as one of Mexico's heros by the Public Education Secretariat) and despise the Aztec empire for its brutality and paganism but you're free to make of this HDI thing whatever you want. This is about critical thinking.

You seethed because I questioned the fact that your country is placed above the "People's" version of the Republic of China, I get it, but you need to get off of your high horse, ok? And, yeah, I know my country is kind of a shit hole with a lot of f'ed up violence, but it doesn't have to be that way and hasn't always been that way. You don't know Mexico well and it shows because you think everyone is complicit and ignore how things like Operation Fast and Furious, social decadence or geopolitical implications come into play. Nayib Bukele showed all of Latin America how it's done and maybe we need our version of Bukele, Francisco Franco or Augusto Pinochet. I rebuke some of the stuff Lee Kwan Yew has said about Western cultural roots but he also gave an example of governance and
pretty much set the foundation for Singapore's modern development as a nation. Because I believe justice makes nations great and sin plunders them into misery, sloth begets poverty and ignorance begets destructive stupidity.

God bless you and I hope you have a good week. I forgive and reject your curse in the name of Jesus Christ.
