Are Asians Smarter?

Your point? Finding a good job still won't mean you'll become famous mathematician/scientist.

You said pascal got credited because he find an important use of his discovery: probability. Probability is not important in pascal's time.
While in ancient China, astronomy was very important, and the mathematics they discovered are to be used in astronomy.

I'm repeating:

Finding a good job means you have to be smart. You won't get hired to do something that's already invented or could be done with a computer.

Being smart does not imply you will discover anything special, but it means you understand a certain subject so goodl that you're able to use your understanding in a non-mechanical way to solve problems (not already solved in order to earn money) given to you.

... Obviously, at the time Pascal lived, they didn't have money and a market. Therefore, probability was useless. Ah, I see that. My bad.
Also, in case you didn't understand what I meant with the "calendar was invented everywhere": Astronomy was studied everywhere on the globe and everyone had roughly the same evolution within astronomy. Astronomy is the main reason we have a calendar.

I'm going to stop here as I see we're not going to change the course.
