Jewish high IQ - 20 reasons why

[Longbowman]

By a non orthodox jew, I simply mean not an extremist, who hates gentiles and will take actions against them, and the such. My Grandmother is an irreligious jew, so I know they can be kind of ungrateful and stingy (though of course not always), and super orthodox ones will by the nature of being so very orthodox, not be very open to gentile

that's more or less what I thought you thought. perhaps you should stop typing words you don't know the meaning of and I won't think you're such an idiot.

If the Jews are so brilliant, why didn't they prevent their extermination during World War II?

not enough numbers, even the most brilliant people can be outnumbered by hordes of a less intelligent people, such as what is starting to happen to europeans now with MENA peoples if they don't start restricting those fecund drones

[War Chef]

see, it's comment like these that make me think 'this man is an idiot.'

And Hedonism increases your IQ?

Hell i didn't knew that..

Well, if you're more engaged with the world, yeah.

[TheOldNorth]

Well, if you're more engaged with the world, yeah.

is that a response to both of those or just the later?

[Tauromachos]

those are usually less religious jews, I'd say the best jews are ones who are religious but not orthodox

The best Jews are the Christians

People put too much stock into I.Q. I.Q is a measurement of your mechanical abilities not your creative or perceptive. I.Q can be improved by anyone with normal brain function.

Well a lot of Jews subscribe to hedonism. I'd argue that burning with the fire of lust and materialism isn't always the happiest mind state, so thats where Jews are wrong.

Not being an ascetist does not equates being an hedonist though.
There is an equilibrium called by the buddhists as "The Way Of The Middle" and the best way of summing this concept is that we must live focused in the present momment but without any egoism, always respecting all beings and forms of life.
Hassidic jews have a similar philosophy and so did the ancient essenes.
In fact, it should be followed by Christians as well, because it is written in the Bible that God does no inhabit in human made temples and that our body is property of the Saint Spirit, not yours.
So, logically, If you live a sad, fanatic life, you are desrespecting a sacred temple of God( yourself).
Ascetism is uncompatible with Christianity too.
It also means that humans, animals and plants are more important than a church, for example. If you go to church every day but still are not able to love and forgive your neighbor, then you are lost on the way and are only fooling yourself.
Unfortunately, Christhians are not able to understand that.

Unfortunately, IQ is one of the talking points how Whites are superior to others here. This is despite the fact that other countries are not financially developed, hence the lack of resources for an education.

The argument collapses when a Nigerian born person scores a very high IQ score.

I totally agree, regions like Lebanon had whole regions covered by Cedrus or local species like that.

Today those Cedar trees are confined to one acre space up in the mountains. They take hundreds, if not thousands of years to fully grow.
