> Other civilizations had great academic and scientific revolutions

I didn't say they didn't. The ancient Egyptians built the Pyramids, too. But that doesn't mean Egypt sustained that advantage and developed leading-edge science, values, and technology to the present day. They had a brief moment, and they are today in some ways a very cool country, but, as with most countries, they measure progress as "how far along the tech and culture trees we are compared to the West".

Maybe you should read my comment again tomorrow, with a clearer head.

> What racist and xenophobic BS.

A much clearer head.
