EphemeralSun@lemm.ee 1 year agoThere’s this whole anthropological theory that people’s from regions that have less resources resort to pillaging as means to survive; after many generations they become so good at it that they just simply continued to do it.
On the flip side, you have countries that have it all, in particular Asian and American countries, that never developed such a need because resources were abundant.

Pretty much. Look at how India and China have people who overwork and overstudy. Meanwhile many western countries have a good work life balance and have a lower / easier standard in education because they don’t need to do much to survive.

India and China are rich as hell though, they have a ton of resources. Shouldn’t they have more laidback populations then?

Guess it has to do with the fact that Europeans, primarily, have been fucking India and China over the past 100-200-ish years. Resulting in many Indians and Chinese not having access to their own reaources and so creating that whole overwork/study culture thing.

India isn’t, it’s a 3 trillion economy for a billion plus people. Per capita that’s very low. India recently did a lot of expeditions to try and find oil but had no luck. There are a lot of spices but the value of those has reduced compared to newer technologies like semiconductors.
China has just become rich recently, there should be a decline / easing of pressure on people in the next few years / decades.

China is pretty poor individually. Its the sum. India is simply poor entirely outside of some billionaires
