There are more short alleles of the serotonin transporter gene in the East Asian population, which is closely related to conformity and attention to group / collectivism rather than inpidualism.

东亚人群中有更多的5-羟色胺转运体基因的短等位基因,这与从众和对群体/集体主义的关注密切相关,而不是个人主义。

The frequency of the long allele is only 20% in East Asians and 60% in Europeans. The Ashkenazi Jews are very lucky. Their average IQ is very high. In addition to these characteristics mentioned above, they occupy a dominant position among Nobel Prize winners and scholars.

长等位基因的出现频率在东亚人中仅为20%,而在欧洲人中为60%。德系犹太人非常幸运,他们的平均智商非常高,加上上面提到的这些特点,因而在诺贝尔奖得主和学者中占据了主导地位。

IQ itself is not enough. Although I think many East Asians are extremely smart, they are good at studying and understanding existing systems and theories, but they are not very good at discovering by themselves.

智商本身是不够的,尽管我认为许多东亚人聪明绝顶,可他们善于研究和理解已有的系统和理论,但不太善于自己发现。

There are not many inventions from Asia. Among the 10 most innovative countries, seven are European countries, the United States is the eighth among western countries, and South Korea and Singapore are the remaining two. The world would not have developed if it had not been for the novelty seeking behavior of the West in the past few centuries.

来自亚洲的发明并不多。在10个最具创新性的国家中,有7个是欧洲国家,美国是西方国家中的第8个,而韩国和新加坡则是剩下的两个。如果不是前几个世纪西方的求新行为,世界不会向前发展。
