>all these universities>not many worthy contributions for 300+ years
>>18539030weren't those universities mainly for training clergy?
>>18539030I. CONTRIBUTIONS TO WHAT?II. HOW WERE THOSE «CONTRIBUTIONS» «NOT MANY»?
>>18539039NO.DOCTORATES WERE RESERVED FOR THE CLERGY, SINCE CHASTITY VOWS WERE MANDATORY; THE HIGHEST DEGREE THAT A LAYPERSON COULD ACHIEVE WAS THE BACHELOR'S DEGREE.
>>18539046>NO>BUT ALSO YESIs your tap water laced with lead?

mexicans are not known for anything besides violence and stupidity. this has been known since 400 ad in mayan times, even today mexicans cannot be noted for anything besides gore videos or having some of the dumbest takes on the planet
>>18539111you could be giving examples instead of giving random abstract responses in caps
>>18539030Overall the Criollos (who these universities were made for) performed well, especiamly in literature where they largely outshine north americans. The mistake is expecting anytying from the mestizos and indios rabble.
>>18539517Erm, sweetie, you really shouldn’t say that, after all, there wasn’t a caste system in the Spanish colonies, right?
>>18539146what about maize/corn and chocolate? To say nothing of their more recent popular foods
>>18539565There was a caste system obviously
>>18539569These are not Mexican achievements. Btw it's very revealing that, to find anything of value in this region, people always have to go back to pre-Hispanic times. Those "universities" were really just for decoration.
>>18539030Those were religious universities and they naturally transitioned into law and philosophy schools. Tech unis are an entirely different thing.
>>18539618>people always have to go back to pre-Hispanic timesThis is wrong and plainly dishonestAlso growing food that exist on your soil isn't an accomplishment by itself, everyone did that
>>18539628Actually only a handful of races domesticated crops and snowniggers aren't in that list
>>18539569mayan things, not mexican
>>18539030Doubtless it's the low IQ, but also the elite human capital that does exist in that part of the world likely just moves to the US or Europe, right? So it's low human capital + brain drain. I say that cause I had a Mexican professor who was an accomplished mathematician. Unless by contributions you mean fields-medal era-defining genius.
>>18539565Not in the sense you think there was.
>>18539030not like this hombres
