This seems like a good book.

Chinese may have been the first to bound the paper together, but they had no Shakespeare, Milton or Dante to write on it. Duh derp. What good is a book if all you have to read is Confucius? East Asians are a people bereft of European creativity.
Chinese invented gunpowder but they were too ignorant to make guns.
Child, there was no democracy in Asia before Europeans brought it there.

There would be no european creativity without Asian creativity.
Why did Asian democracies grow faster?

Nonsense. Compare ancient Greek philosophers to an emperor-kissing windbag like Confucius.
How the hell are Asian democracies growing faster? None of them have anything like European and North American democracies to begin with. Most of them got their parliaments from Britain. And of course it was Marx whose ideas reformed China.

They had faster economic growth because of Confucianism.

Oh jeezus christ. You don't understand the purpose of Confucianism? It was to create a society where the peasants bow and scrap before the landowners and the elite.
I dare say Mao is more responsible for China's recent economic miracle. His Cultural Revolution completely destroyed old negative ways of thinking and the bourgeoisie.

Like I said, democracy is a universal concept. Mencius was a democrat who believed in equality and Confucian societies value education and hard work which would contribute to economic growth.

I don’t think Azn would make for a reliable arbitrator of intelligence. As a doctor myself IRL I would estimate her IQ to be higher than Gameboy’s, but still not high enough to go to the bathroom without assistance.
