[quote]Blacks are disproportionately in the lower socioeconomic
classes, and socioeconomic class is known to be associated with
IQ. Therefore, many people suggest, part of what appears to be
an ethnic difference in IQ scores is actually a socioeconomic
difference.
...
The trouble is that socioeconomic status is also a result of
cognitive ability, as people of high and low cognitive ability
move to correspondingly high and low places in the socioeconomic
continuum
In the American context, Wade Boykin is one of the most
prominent academic advocates of a distinctive black culture,
arguing that nine interrelated dimensions put blacks at odds
with the prevailing Eurocentric model. Among them are
spirituality (blacks approach life as “essentially vitalistic
rather than mechanistic, with the conviction that non-material
forces influence people’s everyday lives”); a belief in the
harmony between humankind and nature; an emphasis on the
importance of movement, rhythm, music, and dance “which are
taken as central to psychological health”; personal styles that
he characterizes as “verve” (high levels of stimulation and
energy) and “affect” (emphasis on emotions and expressiveness);
and “social time perspective,” which he defines as “an
orientation in which time is treated as passing through a social
space rather than a material one.”109 The notes reference a
variety of other authors who have made similar
arguments.110.[/quote]

Therefore, "low-IQ" people tend to easily refrained from
materialist way of life because of their simple cognitive
ability, which prevent them from doing large damage, the correct
way to judge is :

[quote]The white races did, of course, give some things to the
natives, and they were the worst gifts that they could possibly
have made, those plagues of our own modern world-materialism,
fanaticism, alcoholism and syphilis. For the rest, since these
peoples possessed qualities of their own which were superior to
anything we could offer them, they have remained essentially
unchanged. Where imposition by force was attempted, the results
were even more disastrous, and common sense, realizing the
futility of such measures, should preclude any recourse to their
introduction. One solitary success must be conceded to the
colonizers: everywhere they have succeeded in arousing hatred, a
hatred that urges these peoples, awakened from their slumbers by
us, to rise and drive us out. - Adolf Hitler, 7th February

People with "high intelligence" tend to exposed into democratic
and capitalistic way of life. Whereas the people with "low
intelligence" tend to prefer socialist way of life
Japan, already exposed into democratic and capitalistic way of
life
[quote]The failure of Japan to develop economically until the
late nineteenth century is largely attributable to a regulated
economy and to isolation from the rest of the world. This
isolation was deliberately imposed by the rulers because of
their fear of the potentially subversive effects of foreign
influences. Portuguese traders established contact with Japan in
the sixteenth century. Missionaries followed and began to
convert the Japanese to Christianity. The Japanese rulers
perceived this as a threat, and in 1637 they prohibited all
foreigners from Japan and all Japanese from traveling abroad.
The only exceptions to this prohibition were that Dutch
merchants were allowed to call once a year to trade on the
island of Deshima in the Bay of Nagasaki, and Chinese merchants
were allowed to trade in Nagasaki city. The importation of
European books was banned and those from China were checked by
censors before being allowed in. These prohibitions lasted until
1854, when an American naval officer, Commander Perry, forced
the Japanese to open the country up to American and other
traders.
In 1867-68, a revolution occurred and the Meiji Restoration
re-established the control of the emperor. The new rulers
embarked on a program to modernize the country by adopting
Western education and technology and by freeing up the economy.
Compulsory education for four years was introduced and was
increased to six years in 1907. There were no universities in
Japan until 1877, when the University of Tokyo was established,
shortly followed by six more universities in major cities. These
were modeled after the German universities with their strong
departments of science, engineering, and technology. The economy
was liberalized by the abolition of a number of state monopolies
that were transferred to private corporations. As a result of
these reforms, industries grew rapidly and by the end of the
nineteenth century Japan had become a formidable industrial and
military power. In 1895, Japan fought and defeated China and
annexed Taiwan. In 1904, Japan fought and won a war with Russia.
In World War I, Japan fought on the side of Britain and France
and at its conclusion annexed Korea. “Henceforth Japan was a
world power, with a first-class economy” (Thomas, 1981, p. 661).
In World War II, Japan was an ally with Germany. Japan was
initially successful in the war in eastern Asia, where she
defeated the British and occupied the British colonies of Hong
Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. She also occupied the
Philippines. Despite ultimate defeat as a result of the atom
bomb, Japan rapidly rebuilt its industrial and economic strength
and by the 1980s had achieved approximately the same per capita
GDP as Britain, Germany, France, and the rest of northwest
Europe.[/quote]
People of "Sub-Sahara Africa" countries, always retain their
autocratic and socialist political system
[quote]In addition to low intelligence as a “missing element,”
some of the factors that Collier and Gunning propose as
contributing to the low economic growth of sub-Saharan Africa
are themselves attributable to a low level of intelligence in
the populations. One of the major factors identified by
economists as responsible for the low economic growth in
sub-Saharan Africa is the poor quality of the political
leadership that has generally instituted socialistic,
protectionist, regulatory, and monopolistic programs. Collier
and Gunning conclude that this has been the single most
important factor retarding economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa
and write that “the degree of hostility of many African
governments to private product markets is surely astonishing”
(p. 99). A similar conclusion has been reached by Sachs and
Warner (1999, p. 335) who conclude that “We find that poor
economic policies have played an especially important part in
the slow growth, most importantly in Africa’s lack of openness
to international markets.” However, these economists have not
asked why the political leaders in sub-Saharan Africa have so
consistently mismanaged their countries’ economies. In the last
resort, much of this mismanagement must be attributed to the
political leaders’ inadequate intelligence and their failure to
understand that free markets are the most efficient form of
economic organization.[/quote]

"democratic and capitalistic"
There is no reason to talk about democracy and capitalism as
though they are associated with each other. It is possible to
have capitalism without democracy, and it is possible to have
democracy without capitalism. Talking about them together just
confuses readers.
The correct dichotomies are capitalism vs socialism, or
democracy vs autocracy.
Which one are you actually claiming is caused by temperature
differences?

I mean, people from colder climates tend to be capitalist and
progressive. People who are for thousand years lived in tropical
and sub-tropical climates, tend to be socialist. Therefore, if
we want to see the people with "Aryan characteristics", or the
people of farmers, then we cannot emphasize Europe, we emphasize
to the people from tropical and fertile zones first.

OK, though we also have to worry about progressives who think
capitalism is not progressive enough:

[quote]Recent studies find that rice cultures are more
interdependent than herding cultures and wheat-farming cultures.
In China, people from rice-farming areas think more holistically
and show less implicit individualism than people from
wheat-farming areas. These differences are mirrored in
micro-level comparisons of neighboring counties differ in rice
versus wheat. Research has also found evidence of cultural
differences based on rice farming within Japan and around the
world.
...
Irrigation
Unlike most major cereal crops, rice grows best in standing
water. Rice can grow on dry land too, but properly flooded rice
increases yield from 1.2 tons per hectare to 5 tons [4]. To get
that standing water, rice villages built irrigation networks.
Irrigation networks meant that farmers often had to fill and
drain their fields at the same time [5]. Certain irrigation
systems also pushed farmers to coordinate what they plant,
particularly when water was scarce [6].

[quote]It is not unreasonable to entertain the possibility that
regions with less precipitation would bring about evolution of a
higher intelligence. Greater precipitation causes greater growth
of vegetation so that gathering is relatively easy.
The importance of vegetation in the evolutionary increase in
intelligence is strongly implied by Lynn and Vanhanen (2012, p.
380), who said:
When these peoples settled in the temperate and colder latitudes
of North Africa, Asia and Europe, they encountered the problem
of survival during the winter and spring. This was a problem
because the first humans that evolved in equatorial East Africa
subsisted largely on plant foods, of which numerous species were
available throughout the year (Lee, 1968; Tooby and DeVore,
1989). In temperate and cold environments plant foods are not
available for a number of months in the winter and spring. Thus,
“plant foods are often available only during short seasons”
(Gamble, 1993, p. 117) and compared to warmer environments there
would have been fewer edible plant species, and a concomitant
requirement for increased reliance on animals . . . and the
obvious problem of keeping warm, including the likely necessity
of controlling and even making fire. In effect, these northern
temperate environments “pushed the envelope” of Homo’s
adaptation (Wynn, 2002, p. 400).[/quote]

Hitler was closer culturally to Equatorial East Africa rather
than North Africa, Asia, and Europe, because he relied on plants
rather than meats. Therefore Hitler was not part of Western
Civilization which heavily relied on meats

Short Description of "White European" Morality according to
Coudenhove Kalergi, Austrian Politicians and Philosopher
[quote]"The white man is a son of winter: to overcome the cold,
He had to tense his muscles and mind to excel and create new
Suns for himself. He had to overcome ever hostile nature
Always the active and heroic man of the North defeated the
passive culture of the south:
The Goth and Viking carving up Rome
The Mongols over China
The Aztec over the Yucatan
Through religion and communal culture; the more civilised south
pacified and assimilated the barbaric Northmen"
Uberboyo's comment :
What defines us Northmen... that is to say... us Europeans... is
precisely this active and heroic spirit - Spengler has called it
the Faustian spirit
This spirit is Pagan in its moral feel: individualism, brave,
heroic, and self reliant - it is also informal and chaotic
The Christian feel is something much more from the South - it is
the formal religious structure - where community, love, self
sacrifice, and harmony predominate
Its no wonder Christianity conquered the world in the confused
multicultural city of Rome - infact, this same instinct is what
gives rise to modern Socialism in the Industrial Western City
The spirit of the future is such a conflict between these two
forces: The Pagan and the Christian - because they both have
strong claims to authority[/quote]

Interesting example of how even tropical ectomorphs become
adapted to cold climates:
HTML https://www.businessinsider.com/vivek-ramaswamy-republican-presidential-candidate-strive-roivant-demanding-manager-2023-9
[Quote]
Chief among them: A relentless fixation on temperature. Not only
can Ramaswamy not stand the heat, these people said — he
dictated that the office thermostats at Roivant and Strive had
to be set to 64 degrees or below. The workspaces were so frigid,
former employees told Insider, that coworkers resorted to using
space heaters at their desks and wearing their Roivant-branded
Patagonia fleeces to ward off the chill.
[/Quote]
Of all things I learned about Vivek, this was the one I found
the most surprising, as his parents are from Kerala (South
India), and he is an ectomorph. But I think this might have
something to do with him growing up in Ohio, which is known for
its unusually cold winters.
I have similarly known people from India who became accustomed
to cold climate after living in the United States.
(BTW, note the inferiority of the employees. Although using air
conditioning is inferior to not using air conditioning, using
space heaters while the air conditioning is on is a whole new
level of inferiority!).

So a weird combination of low muscle mass + long torso? His
limbs seemed pretty long compared to the rest of his body when
sitting down (although, to be fair, he is also dressed) and he
is also considerably thinner than most other candidates.
Either way, I don't think it has much influence on his heat
tolerance. I would consider greater lean mass having a more
negative impact on heat tolerance, than say, torso length, as in
Vivek's case, the torso, while definitely long, is not jarringly
longer than his limbs as in the case of meso/endomorphs.
