That wasn't the claim. The claim was 'how diversity makes us smarter'. Roll Eyes

Yet you are attempting to use it as a negative. Why? Roll Eyes

Because, as indicated, innovation has nothing to do with the categories mentioned. Roll Eyes

Yet the article differs. As it is based on Scientific evidence, what are your beliefs based on? Prejudice? Divisive hatred? Racism? What, exactly? Roll Eyes

Any answer for this? Racist bigot.

First you claim that Eritrea is a majority Christian country then you claim non muslims are the majority.

Your figures clearly show 50% of the population are Muslim. You state that non religious groups make up 53% that makes 103%.

From the above we are able to ascertain you are :-

A Muslim that practises deception in an attempt to prove a point!

A Muslim with a very poor comprehension of English!

A Muslim who failed arithmetics at the lowest level.

Go to bed child, school for you tomorrow!

Epic Fail Brian Ross!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't clear off Brian you are still responsible for your posts. Now answer them.

By examining how innovation is made in any field/discipline. Study any ground breaking scientist, musician, engineer, philosopher etc. They first brilliantly understand the field in which they work. They then envision new directions in which the field can go. They see where the errors are, where improvements can be made. Did Wagner write brilliant operas because he might have sucked some dick on the side? Were Tesla's experiments and improvements on electricity created because he was one of the 88 genders that are supposed to now exist? Were Watt's improvements on the steam engine created by having a few blacks kicking around near his engineering sites? Laughable. You're blinded by the post-modern obsession with identity politics. You think you're trying to outsmart those pesky conservatives, but only making yourself out to be a fool blinded by ideology.

Diversity promotes innovation. Not by its members but by the tensions and encounters between them. CW, you're creating a strawman argument. It won't work. Roll Eyes

It's not a strawman at all. It's a description of how creative people operate.

"Muslim lands" are said to be very diverse but they are totally stagnant and apathetic. No innovation there.

Diversity in itself is not a good thing it's endlessly touted as. Dog poo and vanilla ice cream have diverse ingredients but the ice cream is totally ruined and the dog poo is unimproved.

Diversity occurs naturally anyway. Everyone is unique in their own way. 'Diversity' has now come to mean something else - basically, less heterosexual, white males. They then extend from this idiotic proposition that innovation somehow magically comes about. Where have they been for the past 400 years? Europe has dominated the innovation scene - where 'diversity', as they see it, meant nothing.

It is a strawman. It is your prejudiced view of how creative people operate, CW. In reality, diversity as the study in Scientific American shows, benefits from diversity within a society. Your example of 1600 CE in Europe is flawed because it fails to take into account the diversity that the Reformation and Counter-Reformation had on European society through the 30 years war and the age of exploration.

Europe's day has been long over, since the middle of the 20th century. The US presently predominates. China is about to take the lead. CW. Roll Eyes
