Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:
Is it in the genes? Environment?
Why is your generalization that Jew's "outperform" any different than say someone else saying "most Blacks are pricks"?
i think there is a very simple answer. their religious belief required
studying the bible. therefore they had to be able to read hundreds
of years before the average european did. when only priests and
writers for official duties could read, not even the king and surely
not the average guy, almost all male jews and many females did.
so they had a competitive advantage for centuries. consequently
they could calculate earlier and made quicker progress once
natural science entered the scene. with todays educational
system that advantage is reduced and i would think that the
jewish nobel share has been shrinking over recent decades.
on a sidenote i think that is why the little nazis believe in the
global conspiracy. intelligent people of other believes simply like
to communicate with ... intelligent people, thus they prefer to
talk to jews than to nazis. and this is why media and arts seem
to be more jewish than they in fact are.
