nordic people had to innovate to survive the harsh cold, the reason we can live in colder climate is because we used technology and resources to survive, that stimulates curiosity and innovation. my dad is swedish, my mother is japanese and i look asian and have green eyes, im female and i work as an engineer, developer and researcher. i got a girlfriend that i live with from netherlands that is a programmer, she is very smart and always finds solutions to the things i find difficult, she handles theoretical innovation while i handle mechanical designing. dutch people are smart because they had to use tools to farm and turn uninhabitable land fertile, they had to tame the ocean with windmills and drainage systems to reclaim land, that also seem to stimulate curiosity and innovation!
