Luck plays a part in any group dominating another. So yes there was some luck involved IMO.
But Caucasians are uniquely aggressive, xenophobic, long term calculating in both the good and bad sense.
They are also more group oriented than all groups (apart from north Asians) and more self-righteous combined with a shallower and more fragile sense of self. They are simply less comfortable in their own minds. This leads to great social order, following of leaders without thinking, general unease around the unknown and habitual self-delusion to maintain a positive self-image.
Combine this with the more pronounced manifestations of their underlying 'anti-everyone' mentality and you get a will to dominate, exploit and control others over geographical, cultural and even temporal spaces. (Iceman Inheritance - Bradley).
Those are the results of pre- historic scarcity, depression, mental illness (DNA), and pronounced sexual dimorphism over millennia.
They are a materialistic [phil.] people and despite their claims to having deeper minds in reality their internal reverie is inhibited by their focus on the calculation with scant regard for the depth of self.
Dancing is nothing to be overly proud of but when you see the average W person dance you see someone who's basic interface with the world is off. It is not their movement but their inability to ' sense ' the pattern and that to me is reflected not only in music but in all aspects of life. They can calculate music (classical) but they cannot feel it. They can calculate people but they cannot feel them.
On average IMO
Yes luck is very much overrated. This was a very good post overall.
