FILM REVIEW: India the Worst country on Earth

anarchonomicon.com

4Chan's First Feature film is also the first Feature length AI Film.

The Conceit? Aside from a few Joke stills, none of the visual film is AI. It is a "Nature Documentary" Narrated by David Attenborough... It is also maybe the most disturbing film ever made, and possibly the most important/impactful film of the decades so far.

Reality is more terrifying than fiction.

India is the worst country? Has anyone ever seen Pakistan?

Obviously no.

India is easier to call the worst place since people in the west have at least some notion of what things are like there. Pakistan? Nobody knows... or cares (other than when it comes to Islamism).

The failures evident within India contrast against pretensions articulated by cogent members of the diaspora, hence the ready mocking of 'Superpower 2020' By contrast, there is no illusion that anyone even entertains a single claim of the Pakistanis. With the record of failure being unwritten because it is automatically presumed, why would anyone waste brain cells mocking these failures.

Hello, and welcome to the Motte!

I recommend familiarizing yourself with our rules, especially those about “proactively providing evidence” and “building consensus.” Asserting that no one has ever held any expectations for a country is the kind of hot take which cries out for a more elaborate defense. By all means, I’d be interested in seeing that laid out.

That's a valid point.

I think India is seen as worse because in a way, Pakistanis being Muslims, they're seen as an enemy. Or should be, at least, as Islam seeks cultural hegemony and is very assertive about it.

India isn't seen as such, yet it has very similar problems.

Pakistan was developing pretty rapidly until the 90s while India languished under Congress’ quasi centrally planned economy. Today India is doing much better while Pakistan has suffered from overpopulation due to stubbornly high birth rates in some regions and political instability.

You forgot to mention incest, or more precisely serial cousin marriage which if done repeatedly results in basically brother/sister incest risks. Big past-time in Pakistan. Slightly decreasing as of late.

Meanwhile Indian castes give a good impression of being inbred and data shows basically reproductive isolation for perhaps 2500 years, at minimum 1600.

You can have populations more distinct than Spaniards and Swedes speaking basically the same language and having lived next to each other for millenia.

You rarely see such disturbingly looking people in Europe outside of narrow mountain valleys in the Alps, where half of the people look like they're related to each other and have unusual facial features.

India's special thing is that they religiously restrict meat eating and even eggs, thus their stunting conditions actually mildly worsened since 2000.

While it's valid to say that e.g. England had horrible slums before 1840s, we know that IQ wise, the populations are incomparable even if some castes (brahimns) and ethnics (parsis) are pretty much at white average or even slightly above it.

So India won't get much better unless the substandard human capital running it is substituted for by AIs, and you can bet their bureaucrats and politicians would not like that one bit.

Less hopeless than Africa, but I understand why everyone is trying to get away from there, and I also understand why that must be prevented at all costs.

Opinion of people I know IRL working in IT on Indians (N=4) is about on the same level as opinion of random eastern Europeans on the Roma.

~Yes, there's a few good ones. No, if I could I'd prefer never to come into contact with them, as on average it ranges from disappointing to having your day ruined and getting very angry.

They are called mujeets by extremely online Indians for some reason. Regardless, I may watch the movie now.

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
