Intelligence and wisdom comes from the shores of experience. This idea that you can pull einsteins from the east is stupid.


Didn't Einstein himself literally come from east of the Atlantic Ocean? ;)


In English west/east has two meanings; geographic, and cultural.

I'm in New Zealand, which is far east of Japan, but still a western country.


Are you really suggesting that people who are intelligent are purely that way because of their environment and experience?

Any amount of observing children will show that equal instruction will not net equal outcome.
