Thanks David, maybe you can elaborate a bit as I am not sure I understand the question.

It seems to me like that would be something you would want to avoid? A lot of what I wrote about is trying to explain the historical, cultural and political choices behind what I believe have been Nordic success.

I do not want to promote the idea that somehow there is a superior Nordic race. That goes very much against my belief system.

That is probably not what you were getting at, so I need more context.

I could add that there are of course other factors which led Nordic countries to make some of these choices. History is a bit like poker. We don’t all get the same hands. Yet it is still useful to know some strategies which will improve the odds regardless of the hand you got.
