I'd just like to mention that the vast majority of modern inventions are from the group of people falling broadly under the label of Germanic* people. Interestingly, there are plenty of other high-IQ-skewing races** who still haven't and don't invent nearly as much. For example, I've met several extremely educated and intelligent Hungarians, but Hungary has no major inventions of note.
Some racial groups have a knack for incrementally improving the inventions of others (China springs readily to mind) but inventing whole-cloth seems to be largely the province of Germanic people. I do wonder if that's why they are so hated currently by the elite - they don't want some Germanic person seeing an invention in his dreams that could overthrow their power structure.
*When I say Germanic, I mean (broadly, somewhat sloppily), Germany, the Low Countries, northern France, northern Italy, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, and also places that received significant infusions of Germanic blood such as England, Scotland, etc. While I don't trust Wikipedia very much, one only has to search for [country name] inventions to see which areas/native citizens are foremost.
**Yes, I know there are high-IQ people in all races, though the bell curve for the odds of high-IQ people occurring within a racial demographic varies since there is no regularizing force for intelligence across various biomes thousands of miles apart. Also, I know IQ is an imperfect metric, but anyone living in a diverse society who trusts his own experience more than what he was told in school and in movies can see that some ethnicities are stronger or weaker in this regard. I do not propose genociding races I consider to have lower aptitudes for high intellectual function or invention, they all have many other lovely qualities).
