All you need to do is read this article here and you will understand why: amren.com/ar/2009/02/
I will give you the TL:DR - The African language gives us all the information we need as to why Africa is still in the Stone age. The African language-set lacks concepts that correspond to things that pertain to abstract thought. This also translates into a lack of introspection and self-awareness.
Blacks only think in the here and now. The "past" and "future" is incomprehensible to them. They lack the critical ability of foresight and hindsight, which is the one of the major reasons why our civilization has flourished.
The lack of introspection does have its advantages. There is less neurotic behavior among Blacks, and lower stress levels (believe it or not). Author thinks that it also leads to the lower levels of sexual dysfunction in Blacks compared to Whites. It also leads to a lack of remorse for what we perceive as crimes. They simply don't care.
This explains why there is a major IQ deficiency in Blacks. The Blacks that do well in school and in mathematics are anomalies and many of them most likely have other mixed blood inside of them that we may not know of.
I would post this on Reddit but it would be banned immediately, despite the fact that its not bashing anyone, this simply explains the reasons why Black civilization has stagnated and why many Blacks show a lack of compassion for others.
Now what's to say it's the environment that caused the language structure? Correlation does not imply causation.

their language lacks concepts that correspond to things that pertain to abstract thought because they havent obtain abstract thought to begin with

Brilliant article. Thanks
Jack Bell
Their language could be a *result* of their deficiency in abstract thought, not a cause of it.
Hunter Robinson
Yeah there is the theory that since Whites and Asians had to deal with colder and harsher environments, it resulted in the requirement of abstract thinking, whereas Blacks and in a lesser part, Hispanics have an abundance of resources at their disposal and never had to evolve to survive.
Of course this all hinges on if you believe in evolution like that.
In reality we dont really know, but undoubtedly Biodiversity is very real. More studies need to be conducted on racial differences especially in IQ. The fact that affirmative action exists while we have this kind of evidence is ridiculous.
Blacks should not be expected to perform the same as Whites and Asians, period. It's not in their genetics.
look at this quote:
"Nevertheless, I was still surprised by what I found in the Zulu dictionary. The main entry for rape reads: “1. Act hurriedly; ... 2. Be greedy. 3. Rob, plunder, ... take [possessions] by force.” While these entries may be related to our concept of rape, there is one small problem: there is no reference to sexual intercourse! In a male-dominated culture, where saying “no” is often not an option (as confirmed by the study just mentioned), “taking sex by force” is not really part of the African mental calculus. Rape clearly has a moral dimension, but perhaps not to Africans. To the extent they do not consider coerced sex to be wrong, then, by our conception, they cannot consider it rape because rape is wrong. If such behavior isn’t wrong it isn’t rape."
And you wonder why they act the way they do?

It's not just cold environments or harsher environments, rather it's seasonal variations for bountiful summers and barren winters, that's where planning and specialisation become important to surviving the habitat. whereas animals at the equator have the availability of food and types of food remaining both abundant and consistent: there's a no evolutionary pressure to evolve beyond hunter / gatherer.
and humans that evolved to support larger brains have in turn, through mechanised agriculture / medscience / AC / social provision, etc. essentially terraformed the whole planet so everywhere is habitable to any "human" at any stage of evolution.
as such, now it's the humans which have the highest birthrates will be the ones which inherit the earth.
therefore while "whites" / japs maybe the most creative/inventive/civilized etc. humans, they are still not yet evolved enough to secure a future for themselves.
it's easy to look at negros and note how unevolved they are in comparison, but all that does is give a false sense of victory, whites / asians still need to evolve both genetically and develop their societies to have a future on this planet, that we have changed permanently.
Jackson Reyes
I've read the article before.
it's a bunch of crap. language is inherently "abstract" by the definitions of both words. it's not a very scientific article in general, using anecdotal evidence and making unfalsifiable claims.
the actual reason is likely isolation and a lack of environmental pressures resulting in poor technological development and probably a generally lesser intellect. they don't really need technology to get by. but if they couldn't think abstractly they couldn't utilize language, if they couldn't think about the past they wouldn't have ancestor worship, if they didn't think about the future they couldn't farm yams, etc.
>I would post this on reddit LEAVE
Gavin Hall
While I still think a lot of it is due to insurmountable genetic obstacles (or at least insurmountable within the time frame of my life) I find that the "language problem" is certainly a major issue with Africa's lack of development. I'm not sure what else can be done except to further encourage the adoption of Western languages that feature tools for abstract thought.
Brayden Rogers
>it's easy to look at negros and note how unevolved they are you don't understand natural selection at all. they are equally as "evolved" as anyone else, and are prolific in their environment, making up more than 1/7th of the world's population.

Because they were low-population, there were more than enough resources for all if only they could live long enough, and they never had to develop self-restraint or forethought.

The more I browse Sup Forums the more I see this narrative that ancient White people with blue eyes and blond/red hair are responsible for civilizing the entire world: Europe, The Near East, China, The Americas.
No seriously, the idea that africans lack introspection is probably the biggest bullshit I've ever read on Sup Forums. In reality, these languages are more like japanese in terms of introspection. Also, as russian speaker who knows multiple foreign languages, I can tell you that English is is stub of language. It's language which is useful for selling beans on market, writing down revenues/expenses, telling distances, and for nothing else. It just lacks instruments for expressing pretty much basic emotions, not to mention any delicate nuances. I seriously pity people who only know English because they grow up with castrated brains. Only German is worse abortion of language than English.

It's all because of their culture mate. >The African language-set lacks concepts that correspond to things that pertain to abstract thought.

If you truly want to measure intelligence you have to look at objective values like amount of synapsis, grey matter, corpus callosum, etc. And even if blacks truly were dumber than other races that doesn't stop them from progressing, all they need is to value good leaders, the ones that are good at math and do well in school but are not corrupt war mongerers. But like I said, in order to value that they need a different culture.

Excellent post. As Lynn has argued, IQ correlates strongly with conscientiousness. When you lack the capacity for abstract thought, you don't think counterfactually. "If I were in my victim's shoes, then..." "If everyone littered, then..."
If you're a degenerate like me, you smoke weed with black people sometimes. And you notice something: they're the same when they're high. You are having crazy thoughts, but you're tongue-tied; your mind is clearly distorted. But they're the same because they were never cerebrating to begin with. They live a somatic existence. If you could put on the Strange Days helmet and "see" black subjectivity, you would think: where are all the symbols? Where are all the words? They're just not there in the typical black consciousness.

The explosion of advanced thought started in Mesopotamia. They're the first to codify law, and start to deal with advanced thinking. Climate may be a small part of the picture, but I don't think it's much - the middle eastern tribes all were capable of advanced thought. The dividing line is the Sahara. Something happened once mankind went into the Levant and started the first civilizations. Nature? Nurture? Not sure. But something triggered there, and it didn't happen south of the Sahara. You can take blacks out of africa, and they can learn advanced thought. It's not coded into them that they're incapable of it. A lot of modern behavior in the blacks in the US have their roots in our current time, not back then. It's more to do with nurture (or lack of any nurturing) now, than anything. When you're told your whole life that being ignorant is the way to be, then you get generations of ignorant people.

No you can't but they can be manipulated. Look at blacks before the 60s. I remember even telling my mom after reading about and seeing old blacks and saying "why aren't blacks like that anymore, now they are all ghetto and annoying" and I was a fucking middle schooler. If you cant see it by now thats sad. It's a mixture of the Jews, low iq, behavioral issues and more. The theories make sense but the thing that always sticks out is its nature>nurture. Even look at whites raising blacks and their test scores and you'll see that.

Indeed. When you see jim crow and civil rights era (commie tendencies aside) you almost feel sorry for blacks. The weren't the violent cocaine addicted feral negros as the KKK portrayed. MLK and his marchers seemed downright decent church goers and segregated water fountains are kinda fucked.
It all went down hill in the late 1970's when globalization kicked off. Blacks were starting to make gains into management and leadership roles. This is the same way the Irish and Italians gained entry to the middle class. However, blacks got their legs cut out from under them when the factories closed up and were shipped to Mexico and then China. Throw in the crack epidemic and its no wonder blacks devolved into the present day pavement ape.

We are all approx. equidistant from Neanderthals or Denisovans. Also, most Africans have to speak at least one Western language such as English or French.
Sidenote: Those are San people; relatively peaceful hunter-gatherers, they are not the ones chopping up South Africans en masse, the people who are speak the language and know what they are doing. One wonders what Africa would look like had the Bantu expansion never happened.
