There is probably some truth to GG&S, but the ideas it presents are not IMO fool-proof nor completely developed. Reality is complicated. To assign causality to a single thing on a hugely complicated issue such as......whatever the heck it is that you wrote on, is crazy. This reductionism is something at which you excel. Now that you accept GG&S, how do you justify your anti-Anglo/American racism? If climate is determinative of progress, which I don't think it necessarily is [it may be to some degree], how do you explain your crazy bias? After all, the UK and America are simply geographic accidents, right? If you think very hard, you'll figure out why Scotland - a tiny country with virtually no natural resources - was so phenomenally succesful and why Brazil, with 100s of times the resources and population of Scotland, has achieved virtually nothing compared to the Scots. Geography? To some extent. But there is more to it than that. You cannot see it because your bias blinds you.
