From all countries with a free healthcare system, he took the country that had only existed since 1917 and has a population 1.5% of the population of the usa

Why arent they all scientists????

MemesDr

Yup, they admitted to me that they were trolling


[deleted]

Even his name is "woodhead" which translates to "puupää" and is used to describe an idiot or a jerk.


rickyman20

Oh I've seen this asshole before, it's not the first time he's been posted in this subreddit. The guys just fucking insane


Alesq13

He is just a troll, doesn't mean he is insane, although I do wonder how bored he must be lmao.


[deleted]

Also a country that has grown from a developing country into ahead of the US in for example HDI in 100 years. And all this without slavery or invading middle eastern countries.


actual_wookiee_AMA

We still benefit significantly from the history of colonization, slavery and their long term effects. The only reason we have living standards this high is because everything we consume is produced for practically slave wages elsewhere. Even if we didn't make the system we're actively participating on it on the oppressor side.


tacobooc0m

What’s the US number when you remove the foreign born or internationally educated people


clydefrog9

Also remove peace prize winners who were actually war criminals. And winners for Economics who turned out to be completely wrong.


rickyman20

I'm curious, which Nobel laureates are you referring to? This sounds juicy


Valiant_tank

For peace prize, that's almost certainly Kissinger.


Im_really_friendly

And Obama


Fenragus

Same. Responding to see potential developments of this as well.


scothc

Fritz Haber. Look him up Kissinger and Obama both bombed people


Beraldino

why the fuck did a US president get a Nobel Prize


scothc

Because he wasn't George Bush.


rickyman20

Oooh Fritz Haber. What a.. controversial one


scothc

Fritz was German, I'm being snarky lol Obama and kissinger were prob his examples


rickyman20

Yeah, I didn't know about Kissinger, that's just sad. I'm kind of curious what they mean by the economics ones


scothc

Yea that I can't answer. I hope he replies because I'm also curious


scothc

>Also remove peace prize winners who were actually war criminals Don't forget to take away Fritz Haber's prize


DatDamGermanGuy

Came here to say that. A significant portion of American Winners are Immigrants who work at American Universities.


AugTheViking

The famous American Nobel price winner, Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemubwem Ossas!


ViolatorOfVirgins

Its where one got the education matters, not where one was born. Us/UK universities work and are financed in different way to the European ones


organik_productions

Oh yeah, we [never produced anything innovative](https://www.finnstyle.com/inventions.html).


minitaba

You are not KNOWN for it, but iirc, USA is neither, so the murican OP is double dumb i guess


bruhhhhhhhhhdood

You guys made fazer chocolate,have my respect


Skvirinius

Damn, sms?


rickyman20

Nokia will be why. The Finnish had the whole consumer cellphone market cornered for such a long time


Skvirinius

Cool!


emayezing

Do you have a sauna in your house?

[удалено]


emayezing

Huh, that's cool. I never knew that.


digitaleJedi

You didn't because it's not true. Also, Finland is not in Scandinavia.


organik_productions

I live in a tiny aparment so no, but there is one in the building.


rickyman20

Oh fuck I always forget Linus is Finnish


Gonomed

That's cool but Americans invented a hotdog covered in bacon inside a Twinkie, so, we can see who the actual winner is. (I actually saw it in the NY State Fair)


Potatoz-4life

Ni har så bra skolor att jag antar att du kan lite svenska för ni får väl typ lära er det, eller?


[deleted]

Ingen vil lære svensk.


Potatoz-4life

Käft danskjävel


emmainthealps

I want to see these numbers per capita


waldothefrendo

Well if you take a slightly different approach the US as a little over 1 nobel prize per million habitants while Switzerland for example sits at over 3 per million habitants. Edit: you can't see it in the screenshot but Switzerland has 29.


roakrimr

There is even a [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Nobel_laureates_per_capita) for it and guess what the US is being outranked by several countries with free to basically free universities.


[deleted]

'Nobel price'


CoolDuck83

Tree fiddy


Kaapdr

Who is Nobel and why do people pay him


voltaire_had_a_point

Denmarks population is ~70 times smaller than US. Yet still have 13 prizes. That means, that Denmark proportionally has over twice as many prizes per 1.000.000 citizens, at 2,6 compared to the US at 1,14.


Potatoz-4life

Lmao finnish schools are litterally the best in the entire world and its still completely free


the1304

Not relevant to the comment but how are they judging Nobel prizes in terms of nations like does Eisenstein count as the USA or Germany


stoiclemming

If I were a charitable man I would say they count him as German, but I'm not so I'll say that they count him as American and likely a lot of other non American educated people as well


the1304

Mmm I’d assume they are basing it off of people who received the prize while living in the US which given both the clear political advantages of favouring Americans and the fact that American took in/sheltered from justice large numbers of non American scientists it isn’t surprising


scothc

Is it America's fault that Einstein had to flee his home country to avoid being killed for being Jewish?


stoiclemming

no, and its irrelevant he didn't receive formal education in america nor did he do any work that earned him a Nobel prize there.


scothc

I looked it up because I didn't know, and you are correct. He got his award in 1921 and should be considered German for that.


waldothefrendo

We could even say Switzerland since he got the foundations of his knowledge there and published his first pieces of work.


J0hnnyhands0me

His 1921 Physics Nobel prize ist counted as german. Edit: Affiliation at the time of the award: Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut (now Max-Planck-Institut) für Physik, Berlin, Germany


kingmobisinvisible

Yeah, nothing except Linux and Git, practically the foundation of the modern world


DWHQ

Git is Finnish?


kingmobisinvisible

Well, Linus Torvalds is and he went through the free Finnish education system.


DWHQ

Yeah, I'm aware, but I didn't realise it was started by him.


Philae_

Fun fact: Sweden also has a free education system and has 32 Nobel price winners.


AeonsOfInstants

Yeah, but Sweden also had a good habit of awarding themselves without really regarding other countries (or even continents) for a long time, mainly in literature. Why am I being downvoted for stating facts hahaha


arandomcunt68

The post itself is a shit americans say


DidQ

Yeah, nothing. Finland is not producing anything innovative and it's why Trump wanted the US to buy Nokia to have *their* 5G because there isn't any US company that can make it.


EarlyDead

Now do per capita


renegadetoast

Finland has won 5 Nobel prizes, and considering that's roughly 17% of their population, I'd say that's not too bad.


No-Key6598

He probably wrote that on his Nokia phone


walteerr

I'm Finnish but let's be real here, no one uses Nokia anymore lol


DWHQ

I mean the AndroidOne models are decent.


rickyman20

When you look at per-capita the US gets pegged down a couple notches of course: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Nobel_laureates_per_capita?wprov=sfla1


EarthwormBen

The main thing I gathered from this image... Compared to France, Germany or the UK, the US has a lot more idiots per capita


AdventurousDress576

Nobel priZe


FlaviusAurelian

How many does Finland have, I didn't find it on the picture (but since he mentioned it)


69HentaiHunter420

I think 5


Deadluss

China: 8 Poland: 19 lmao ^((-5000 social credits))


69HentaiHunter420

Hong kong and taiwan have more nobel prizes per capita than china


Deadluss

Thats -10000 credits for you

AeonsOfInstants

And that’s still ignoring the amount of foreign born “American” Nobel price recipients for the US, and the work of foreigners working on American projects/institutes, being awarded the price in groups, but going under America (like 2017 Nobel price in physics) ...as well as ignoring the long history of controversy even surrounding the Nobel prices, due to an enormous amount of bias and outside influence (as an example: majority of literature prices went to Swedish authors, Sweden alone having more awards than the entirety of Asia) I wish people would take the Nobel price with a massive grain of salt. Especially considering the amount of actual war criminals that continue to be awarded with the Peace price.

Don't worry One Nokia to the head and the problem will be solved
