C2, it's notable that you used simple assertion while Griffe used reasoning and maths. I know which I think has a better correlation with reality. Speaking of cart before the horse, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. You can give a baby chimpanzee all the stimulation in the world and you'll end up with an inarticulate adult chimpanzee. It looks as though you started with the premise that Griffe is wrong, casus belli, ipso facto, ultra vires, inter alia, infra dig. Of course property rights are an essential ingredient to a country being wealthy. Guess where private property rights are most respected. Yes, property rights are correlated strongly with intelligence. You won't find many in chimpanzee communities. The toughest alpha male has the property, along with his buddies. Start there and then start looking at the property rights in various human societies. The property rights are more the result of intelligence than the cause of it. You have got the cart before the horse, even though you said Prodigy put the horse before the cart [which is of course an excellent place to put it]. < think Prodigy put the horse before the cart and that his notion that Northern Asians are limited by an inheritance of visual/spatial intelligence is bunk. > Mqurice
