It would probably be a lot more difficult to study and measure, if someone was creative or not, or how much or how little, and then figure out which genes were associated with that behavior.
You're right, though. This definitely seems like speculation, but it's still a decent speculation. Seeing east Asians excel academically is widely observed, but their excellence seems to revolve around rote memorization and repetition, not around creative endeavors. Their societies and culture seem to be set up similarly, where everyone thinks and acts the same, which enables them to ward off diversity better than us. Whereas our creativity promotes free thinkers and inventors more, but invites subversion and diversified thoughts more than them, which can lead to more fracturing than them.
While this is all speculation, we don't need to know everything, and have everything confirmed, to know the truth. As a small example, I don't need to understand calculus to know that 1+1=2. Similarly, I don't need to have specific genes studied, measured, and confirmed to know that some people are more creative than others. And as an additional caveat, to repeat the NAxALT fallacy to cover all aspects, there are creative east Asians, but there seem to be fewer of them, and they're "shaped" differently somehow.
In any case, I find the lack of "peer reviewed" "double blind" studies on a subject to be more fascinating, as it's unknown and open to speculation, and promotes a special feeling that I think a lot of explorers of old felt while peering into the unknown. It also shows a wide gap between those who can observe properly, and those who can't, which is exacerbated on race differences because lots of people are entirely prevented from seeing any distinction by the propaganda.
>Seeing east Asians excel excel academically is widely observed
Here’s the thing… can we even say that? No, really. *“Asians are good at rote memorization”* is just about all you can actually say. How can you trust their IQ numbers? We have infinite proof that slants (not just China) LIE ABOUT ALL THEIR STATISTICS and that cheating is endemic within their education systems. Moreover, the Japanese and Koreans send their kids to school 14 hours a fucking day. Of course you’re going to remember things for tests when it’s the only life you know.
