Why do Europeans lag so behind asians in their strongest stem discipline?
>>223441828I remember olympiads being somewhat of a big thing back in hs, I heard for mathemathics there's a section where you need to run while doing math, sounds fun, wish I joined.
>>223441991Could you?
>>223441828Nobody cares about these things in the first world. Only thirdies take these competitions seriously and put a lot of effort to get medals.
>>223442260Could've, I'm friends with the smart group circle, I just chose to be a weeb and joined the japanese club like a retard
>>223442308Singapore is a third world? South korea is a third world? Taiwan is a third world? Japan is a third world? Israel is a third world?
>>223442308This is the same excuse thirdies use about Olympic medals and Nobel prizes.
>>223442387For Olympics yes, but Nobel Prize committee operates much more complicated. Basically it's very exclusive circle concentrated in western institutions, so to be nominated you are basically required to have people in that exclusive network that will push your nomination. And even if you are within these institutions, you could still be overlooked if you are from perephirial areas of the west like eastern europe ir latam
>>223442526One of the greatest scientists of 20th C, Dr Y Subbarow never got a nobel.He's responsible for discovering ATP's role in energy metabolism, Folic Acid and Methotrexate.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellapragada_Subbarow
>>223441828And all of those "Kazakh" contestants are Russians
>>223441828It's really not popular here at all
>>223442690this. ethnic kazakh iq is 82.2 while russian is 103
>>223441828President of the International Physics Olympiad: Vladimir Vodkanovic BelobelovVice President: Wei Too Long
>>223441828Useless shit awardIt's just brute force computation which we dont need humans to do anymore past troubleshooting machines
>>223442690Only one guy, all others are kazakhs
>>223441828fun fact - jasmine begalinova was one of the participants
>>223442859this. anthropic predicts most STEMcels will be replaced within two years
>>223442747These "80 iq people" got more golds than 105 iq japanese despite having way less population. Maybe the pseudo study by lynn and his russian friend isn't a reliable source
>>223442387It's not an excuse. I've literally never even heard of these things before coming here and thirdies posting about them. They simply aren't something people here care about and most don't even know they exist.
>>223443035agi in two more years
>>223441828The sad part is that almost all of them will migrate to the west because all the money is there. Thirdies unironically improve when Trump cracks down on h1b, even if it also means their talents are utilised optimally.
>>223442747>103Nice try, jeet. Average russian IQ is between 96 and 103, with most studies putting their IQ below 100.
>>223443402This "study" was conducted by russian nationalist btw
>>223442380Lol
>>223442859This It's basically a green card so you can immigrate to America.
Critical thinking > memorization/computation
>>223445379All problems in these olympiads need critical thinking retard
>>223442859And jobless neet that hates physics can troubleshoot machine?
>>223442690Why from all countries turkey? I feel betrayed
>>223442381yes
These Olympiads are so fake lmao I didn't even think they still existed. Like other anons ITT said only post-Soviet shitholes care about these.Real redpill is they were created by communists with a hidden agenda - they were basically supposed to be a dick-measuring contest between the Soviet bloc and the Western bloc. It's the same as with actual Olympiads - even though the average Chinese is an unimpressive manlet who looks like a stronger wind could blow him off the face of the Earth they have very good results in the olympic games because they have special programs designed to produce future olympic sportsmen and sportswomen. That way they're building national pride so even though the life of the average person is shit they have something to rejoice when their Olympic team wins or their nerds are the best nerds in the world. These Olympiads didn't exist before WW2 and globohomo when actual progress in mathematics and physics was being done although one could argue that there were some forerunners like the Cambridge Trypos
>>223441828How is russia getting medals and defeating ukraine at same time
>>223442764>Wei Too Longなっが!
>>223448847Sk isn't a commie country
