A. I'm not Korean or Asian.
B. From my experience, everything this doc says is true.
C. If you don't like it fine, everyone�s perception is different.
D. At least watch it all the way though!



















I'm sorry btw if your family didn't give you enough love..............

Whatever race you maybe!

'His' -

I think the outcome of the Doc is that the No 1 influence on your life (is/are) your parent(s).

If you've come through life without either, good on you! I think anyone that has done such a thing would understand the word 'family' and want it for their kids......

Am I wrong?

I find the thread title misleading, if not even trolling. "Doc" is shorthand for "Doctor."

I've just watched this and wasn't impressed at all. Boring, predictable in its conclusions and very one sided.

^ disagree on everything you said

I've read his basic conclusion in other places and I agree. It's not genetics, but culture, socio-economic class and familly.

East Asian and Jews rountinely achieve hagh IQ scores and it's no coincidence that these cultures share a extreme focus on education.


The same cannot be said for certain other cultures.
