Does America have magic soil?

Is there something magical about our dirt? That countries like Haiti, Guatemala, Syria, and Zimbabwe do not have access to?
Is it our laws or Constitution that seperates us? Interesting enough many of these countries were initially setup with our exact, word for word Constitution.
Or perhaps, was it the people who setup our original Constitution and founding? Could it be something special about them that created the circumstances?
Does creating more people like them serve to preserve the original Constitution? Or are we just as likely to preserve it simply by importing anyone from anywhere on the globe such as Haiti, China, Africa, etc.?

It's selective breeding due to many circumstances intentional or unintentional.

The enemy knew that unless they demoralize, re-educate, and dilute the primarily native-born population of the post-WWII United States, that they wouldn’t have a chance in hell of defeating us.
So they did/are.
WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.

Imagine if America was only the 13 colonies. The rest of America was still Spain or France or Britian. We are lucky and have tons of natural resources and enough space for industry. Small countries do not have this.

Compare average IQ and get back to me.

Ahh so magic dirt. Does China and India have alot of land and room for resources and industry? Africa does as well, especially the agriculture belt in South Africa and Zimbabwe area. South America does as well. I guess our dirt is just more special.
Interesting that Iceland, Ireland, New Zealand are island countries with limited resources... yet they don't resort to cannibalizing eachother. But it must be the dirt.

While true, a lack of resources is not really the crux of the issue...

The world has developed around Western culture (and its institutions, ideals, culture, etc.). This development requires a certain societal developmental path. If you skip steps, you increase the risk that your underlying population isn't prepared for the next step in development, which can lead to devolution. This is what you see in all the failed former colonial states that came around during industrialization.
Other factors include market-based colonialism (like banana republics), commodity dependence, and external conflict (which isn't always a function of internal issues).

Sub-standard IQ is a result of what my post discussed.
You can develop and raise IQs over generations. Relatively quickly, if the population commits. But this requires some luck (lack of external influence/conflict, relative economic prosperity, lack of disease, etc.), commitment (at the personal and governmental levels), and time.

The world has developed because of Western culture. It didn't just magically develop where Western Culture happened to hold sway.

Our biggest asset are our brains.
For example, I'm not worried about peak oil or energy shortages. The energy is there in nature given to us by God. We just have to use our intellect to access it. The strong nuclear force between two protons is approximately 175 pounds. That is, the energy released from nuclear fission is enough to dead lift approximately 175 pounds in your local gym. We just need the intelligence to access and control that energy and we have it.

That was true to a point, but lots of countries have chosen to develop around Western values/institutions pretty late in the game, especially in Asia. I mean we're talking post-WW2 (in China's case, from like the 90s).
There are, theoretically, other systems that could have developed the world, but they're incompatible with the world as, is. And I'm not referencing Communism, because that's a spinoff of Western culture and not something separate.

Respect for the rule of law and protection of private property.

It’s genetic aptitude. Culture is downstream of genetics.

IQ is not the end all be all. High IQs can be used for benevolent or malevolent purposes. For example high malevolent IQ societies can bare the same fruit as poor low IQ but high moral countries.

You sure you have enough qualifiers there?
The world largely advanced through and because of Western Culture. You can say it; the Woke Police won't come after you. Maybe in 200 years Asia will have taken the baton and gone further and faster with it, but right now the bolded is accurate. Yes, a butterfly flapping it's wings 10,000 years ago theoretically could have resulted in Wakanda, but it didn't.

Naw. Western Culture wouldn't be so adaptable across the world if this was true, and Asia wouldn't be so dominant in IQ testing.
