Why are Asians some good at math? Why are they hard workers? Why are they so crowded? Here's why: * 2
    #19260207 - 12/11/13 01:36 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Why are they good at math?

They must be smarter or have a higher IQ right? Actually, Asians have similar IQ then whites, so it's not that. Intelligence is too vague to describe so we can't take that into consideration.

The answer is their languages. In English, french, german, spanish, russians etc. Numbers are long. Seven, two syllables. It's not ten one ten two, it eleven, twelve. But the suddenly it switch to thirteen, fourteen. The tens are at the end of the word, then suddenly it switches to twenty one, twenty two etc. the tens are in the beginning of the word. What I'm trying to say is that the of numbers is highly disorganized. Kids need to take the time to picture the numbers in their head in order to make the calculation.

In asian countries number are short, normally 2 or 3 letters long. They are extremely organised. They work on a ten-one ten-two. 57 = five-ten seven, 72 = seven-ten two. Asians kids pick up math faster than us because of that logic. its much easier to add three-ten-two + six-ten-three = nine-ten-five. They don't have to visualize the number in their heads because the language behind their numbers is extremely simple

Then comes the fraction, where most kids either start liking math or hating math (around 4th grade). We say two seventh (2/7). The chinese way of saying this translates to "You have 7 parts and you take 2". Much easier to grasp for kids. Apparently its so much simpler that by that point in school, European and american kids are 1 year behind compared to the Asians

Language is the reason Asians are better at math.


Why are they hard workers?

The answer is quite simple: rice. Asians work hard because of rice. You need more details? sure...

I think it's a well know fact that Asians countries eat lots of rice. The reason is that the weather there is ideal for rice. But the thing is, cultivating rice is a pain in the ass, it requires constant care, a proper set up, the right kind of rice, the right amount of water etc. On average ric farmers work 60 hours a week to keep things going, they have to dig a trench to bring the water in from the rivers, they have to build a dyke to keep the water at the right level, they need to keep the fertilizer at a right level etc. It a long and hard job. Plus the weather gives them only a couple months of winter which they use to repair and maintain their equipment. They never stop

Now compare this to european and american way of doing thing. We plant corn, wheat etc. We've been doing in for centuries. That kind of farming requires a rush in the spring and a rush at harvest time. After that, there's nothing more to do, plus the winter is long. We picture peasants back in the day working 100 hours a week just to survive. Well, the truth is, they only worked on average 25 hours a week. Back in the day, there are hundreds of town that literally shut down during winter. The population hibernated. They slept more, ate less. Human hibernation. No work, nothing to do for the entire winter.

Now do this for centuries to both cultures and you'll realize that the Asian culture is all work no play. Whereas European and American culture is less work, more play.

Rice forges a strong work ethic.


Why are they so crowded?

Guess what... it's rice too. Rice farms a very small and yield lots of foods. Therefore they can sustain a lot of people with very limited space. In cultures where crop farming is dominant, you need space... lots of it. Acres upon acres of land. If you want more crops, you need to invest in bigger tractors, more land etc. If you want to expand a rice farm, all you have to do in dig up a trench right next to your other farm ad you just doubled your production.

This abundance of rice can sustain a larger population and the size of rice farm and their high yeild meant that more people could live in a village and villages weren't separated by miles of farmland. So that encouraged Asian countries to have lots of kids and more kids meant more manpower for extra rice farms.

Crops on the other hand need to be carefully managed because once winter comes, what you harvested is all you're gonna have. So less people to share with is better, therefore less kids and lots of space between villages.



Food for thought right?

Sources please. Especially for the second one, which feels like a very weak conjecture. Also, for the first one, math is based on logic more than numbers.

I do not believe this, especially the part about math... even asains that grew up speaking english are still good at math.

Also I'm really good at math and I use the english number system and never have any problems.

qouted for posteriority, the posterior you pulled that from, that is.



Some time ago one of our resident stoners argued that black people tend to wear red clothes based on subconscious affinity for the red soils of Africa.

People laughed and called that misguided and racist.

Did you smoke some herb before reaching these conclusions?

Nice theories. A bit simplistic, but I like the way of looking for a simple explanation. The ones you come up with seem pretty doubtful and easy to shoot holes into, but hey, that's the road to improvement.

Read some Jared Diamond, I think you'll like his books.

There was nothing to learn there and it was barely English.  Here's how you write 21 in English:  21.  Is that too long for you?  Also, rice is a crop.  That you have to flood huge areas to produce.

You guys can shit all over this if you want. I don't care

I try to bring intelligent discussion to the Pub, that's all.

Feel free to go to the "I took 2N-24js-bome" threads.

How is this trying to spark intelligent discussion? It's just border line racist.

If I were to write paragraphs about why black people hate to swim and "intelligently" relate it to crocodiles and shit in the nile I would be hung and lynched by the some of the members here.
