Comments by "Joe Qi" (@i6power30) on "Why Are Muslims So Poor? (How Did Islam Go From Running the World to Poverty?)" video.

I don't think it has anything to do with religion or culture. It's just the wheel of fortune. Europe was poor when Muslims, Indians and Chinese were rich for centuries, then these old civilizations became hubris and complacent, and lazy. European based (including American) civilizations have been wealthy and powerful since 18 century. Maybe the wheel of fortune is starting to turn with China leading the way... with the Western civilizations getting increasingly complacent with self entitled labor unions and overblown government debts.

@orboakin8074 you have just described the history. But going forward you are seeing some glimpses of Western cultures rejecting modern technology while developing economies embracing them. EVs and crypto for instance.
