Thanks for the context. These statistics favor monocultural societies and collectivist societies over individualist ones. Your point on innovation is but one overlooked factor that these stats don't account for.

I'd love to get some global statistics on educational knowledge of 18 year olds in all of these countries, and also get statistics on the per capita numbers on new businesses opening up by this age group in these countries as well. Just a thought that IMO may not skew these stats so much towards monocultural/collectivist societies so much.
