🇬 🇬 🇦 🇳 🇧 🇺 🇨 🇦 🇹 :
There’s a historical misunderstanding here. Rice farming in China didn’t become widespread until around the 10th century. Rice requires a lot of water and careful river management, and it gradually moved south china from Southeast Asia. Historically, chinese ate more wheat than rice, and even more sorghum, barley, millet, mung beans, and other grains than wheat. Rice needs about five times more water than wheat, and wheat needs about three times more than other grains. Rice yields two to three times more than wheat per area, and wheat yields more than other grains but both require much more labor. Even though agriculture has a long history, claiming rice was the main crop is misleading. Some Chinese cooking videos on TikTok show white rice or white rice porridge as if they were ancient staples, but that’s not true. The earliest rice farming site was found in Korea and dates back 15,000 years, but rice was rare and considered a luxury. White rice didn’t appear until the 19th century. Before that, brown rice with 20–30% of the husk still attached was seen as 'white rice'. These claims ignore geography, rainfall, and climate. Up to the 18th century, China relied more on wheat and other grains than rice. In contrast, Southeast Asia and Korea favored rice over wheat, with other grains making up the rest. In water-rich regions, wheat was unsuitable and considered expensive.😂

No, it’s western corporations that have propagandized hyper individualism to sell us stuff we don’t need, so that you can “stand out from the crowd” which creates a dog eat dog world. Humans are meant to be collectivist, we’re meant to be tribal, take care of each other and work together for the betterment of society.

I just think Individualism is influenced by those affected by Ice Age especially Germanic cultures. Wheat farming Slavs and Latins are collectivists. And its German philosophers that developed individualistics philosophies.

I’m curious, If the northern part of China were more individualistic and more likely to grow wheat, why did Korea come to grow rice rather than wheat? If you find out, can you do a video? Thanks in advance.

We should all live in an individualistic society with a government with such culture but act as if we are in a collectivist society

the rice hypothesis could also be apply to West African rice farmers forcibly miggrated during the slave trade to grow rice in the new world. And oddly enough Black Americans are described as collectivist even after generations removed from rice farming.

说的不对哈😂我们北方小麦在没有现代农业化之前，也都是全村集体一起互相帮忙栽种、浇灌、收割的，包括盖房子、丧葬嫁娶等一类的事情，并不是个人主义地区，博主调查研究的不够深入，说法太过武断

I agree, it’s a good example, likely generally how food/resources are obtain. Where the soil is rich the enemy is only workload where join hands solve problems resulting in collectivism. Places with scarcity, where effort does not help much, breeds hoarder mindsets because the shy ones dont get to eat.
