Where is the evidence that fundamental concepts in TCM theory like qi and meridians actually exist? The placebo effect is a real thing, on the other hand. I'm sure some Indian ayurvedic "physician" has said much the same thing as you just did.

As for the rest, you pedantically seized upon some minor points without addressing my key assertion, which is that American white people are smarter than Chinese. You have said nothing to disprove this at all (which I expected given your tendency to fixate on shallow details). I don't attribute this to any genetic or other inherent factors (neither would I do the same for Bushmen, Australian Aboriginals, or Andamanese), but rather to the social collapse that afflicted China during the 19th and early 20th century. Americans were geographically advantaged and did not suffer extensive famines/invasions, while the religious/moral imperative that underpin white Western societies (that includes SJW activism in the case of the non-religious left) help contribute to social stability. It is only now that the contradictions of American society are causing factionalism to spiral out of control, and I see a glimmer of hope for Chinese ascendency as the West frays at the edges. But any society must address its deficiencies in order to survive.

BTW I was comparing opium-addicted 19th century Chinese to opioid-addicted 21st century Americans, but that seems to have flown over your head. Contrary to your statement, nobody forced Chinese to smoke opium. Chinese themselves chose to become addicted, just like Americans themselves chose to shoot heroin. It was only later when some in the Qing government realised the social calamity of mass addiction and tried to take measures to suppress it that the British objected and came in with guns blazing.
