Comments by "" (@jboss1073) on "The Jewish IQ Myth: The Truth is Much Weirder" video.

46:00 - Please read "The Myth of Jewish Communism: A Historical Interpretation" by Andre W.M Gerrits, especially his conclusions at the end, where he concludes the exact opposite, finishing the book with the following sentence: "They [Jewish people] had been among the leading instigators of the communist revolutions in Eastern Europe, and they were also its primary victims." You comment that "The fact that they wanted to eliminate Judaism as cultural identity means it couldn't have been Jews" betrays a superficial understanding of the subject and specifically an ignorance of the big cohort within that demographic which is for the undoing of every ethnic identity.

Most of that physics is being refuted as we speak; plus much of that research was plagiarized from forerunners.

@michaels4255 This is simply not true. Take a look yourself at very-high ceiling IQ tests and see whether they have any chess questions. It is a famous trope within very-high ceiling IQ test makers that chess is not correlated with intelligence, as the data simply does not bear it.

Hi, another 5+ s.d. here. Could the answer be high in-group preference and high out-group hostility?

To the chagrin of very-high ceiling IQ test makers, chess is not correlated with IQ. You may dislike this fact, but if the opposite were the case, it would be much easier to make very-high ceiling IQ tests; all one would have to do would be to ask chess questions. But that doesn't work to differentiate any IQ range whatsoever. Chess is more a sort of mechanical organization along with memory. It does not cross into using intelligence.

I am gentile. I will debate you any time about this. Your faith has nothing to do with rationality. Such is easy to prove. Logos is the god of the pagans (Stoics and other schools, not polytheistic pagans). Logos is rationality, and reason comes from Nature. But your people hate Nature, and I could quote many of your coethnics saying what amounts to such. They even joke about being urban beings with no sense of exploring the woods for a walk, no camping culture, etc. So you cannot be for rationality and against nature, because they are the same thing. If your people were for rationality, they would not fight against -isms, but instead simply accept them stoically as part of human nature.

No. They tie with Numerical, but Reasoning is more g-loaded and Pattern Recognition is more g-loaded still.

Read "The Inappropriately Excluded" by Michael W. Ferguson. The summary is that 130 IQ (sd 15) is really the "top IQ" to have (if not 125) and after that there is a qualitative problem in communicating with other IQ ranges which puts IQs above 130 at a disadvantage and leads to their exclusion from most of society. So your verbal IQ specifically is basically as good as it gets.

AJs cluster genetically with southern Europeans, namely southern Italians, Greeks and Turks. According to Eran Elhaik, Ashkenaz is a region or city in northeast Turkey, where their DNA points to their genetic origin according to his autosomal-geolocation algorithm. This "southern Europe" cluster where AJs fall into is not shared by Iberians; in other words, AJ intelligence, if genetic, would be due to their Mediterranean (civilized) genetic background - which they do not share with either Iberia nor Continental Europe (all of whom civilized after the Mediterranean Europeans).
2
That is not correct. Pattern Recognition is 0.9 correlated with g, Reasoning is 0.8, with both Verbal and Numerical being 0.7, according to Paul Cooijmans, who is the most prolific psychometrician of very high IQ ranges.
2
@braveheart4603 Sikhs in Canada, Circassians in Jordan, are other examples of such groups operating successfully within a separate larger culture.
2
All AJ individuals cluster with modern-day Turks and Greeks, not with any Slavs nor Germans nor any Continental Europeans.

@lordsneed9418 If nuclear bombs exist, please explain this excerpt: "Wines from 1952 to the 1970s, for example, have much higher radiation levels due to above ground nuclear testing." Why not "from 1945"? Handy reminder: When were the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The first atomic bomb, named Little Boy, was dropped on Hiroshima from the Enola Gay, a B-29 bomber, at 8:15 AM on August 6, 1945. The second bomb, named Fat Man, was dropped on Nagasaki from the Bockscar, also a B-29 bomber, at 11:02 AM on August 9, 1945. I look forward to your explanation.

@StarboyXL9 "Since when are nuclear detonations the sole source of radiation?" This question AVOIDS my question. Why did Hiroshima and Nagasaki's "nuclear bombs" did not leave a wine signature starting in 1945? The radiation signature in wine starts only in 1952. Why so late? Could it be the bombs dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not nuclear? Had to spell it out for you...
1
@StarboyXL9 What you just said is a clear example of cognitive dissonance. You want to believe that in 1945 those were nuclear bombs, but you know that wine worldwide tells another story, which starts only in 1952. You're holding too tight to silly ideas. So what there isn't a super-bad weapon? Shouldn't that be a good thing? It doesn't exist. Let's be happy. Instead you want to believe bad thing must exist, despite the evidence. And your reason is word plays around the concept of framing. Well, those word plays do not make wine radiation signature start at 1945.

@Moocker-dk2oe Unfortunately there is no such thing as "rationality divorced from reality". I see you're trying to say that maybe they have a logically internally coherent system but that actually has nothing to do with logic, simply with internal coherence. Logic is necessarily tied to reality.
1
@Moocker-dk2oe "A set of arguments can be logically consistent without being sound or objective and Judaism values this." Yes but then it is useless. If you have an internally coherent and internally logical system and it does not reference the real world or any systems outside it, then that is useless.
1
@Moocker-dk2oe "What about the study of formal logic which is purely abstract? Soundness does not have to be based on physical reality." I see what you're getting at, but every religion does that, not just Judaism; every religion seeks to justify itself by making it internally coherent. You really cannot use that feature to say that Jews therefore value logic. It's not unique and just "internally justifying oneself" has no relationship to "loving logic".
1
@Moocker-dk2oe "In Law or even Mathematics the emphasis on logical structure involved in Talmud study can come to an advantage. " You could equally argue that for every religion since they all seek to justify themselves through internal coherence. This cannot be used to say they would be better at logic because of it. It's not different than any other religion. "Not surprisingly Jews involved the sciences since the 19th century heavily gravitated towards theoretical fields and were underrepresented in experimental fields and engineering." Again, the correlation you're making is not really there. This must be explained some other way.
1
@Moocker-dk2oe But don't Christians have their apologetics which also use internal logic and coherence? Hence why wouldn't we also expect Christians to do very well in industry etc like you argue Js do? And yet they don't. Also all Abrahamic religions came after all civilizations already knew about Math and Logic (and also Geometry) so why couldn't they incorporate Logic into their religion? (it makes people suspicious that they didn't do it because the association with reality is not there). And finally, the god of the Bible himself wants to be like Logic, like he says in John 1:1. So even Christians were having to say their God was actually Logos in order to convince pagans who already worshiped Logos (without a holy book) to worship him too.

To be fair, they also lend money to gentiles without interest.

That does not ring true.

No, it is not.

I've met thousands of them, they're just Asian, and normal for Asians.

"not complaining and demanding your way to preferential treatment." "He denied my atrocity, I demand it be illegal to deny only my atrocity but not the atrocities of others".

You can't conclude something about competition when the word "competition" does not appear in any of your premises. This is basic logic.
1
You missed Reasoning and Pattern Recognition, which are also more g-loaded than verbal and math.
1
@jonathanmiller286 Then hire only Africans to compete with every American business and become a billionaire. No one does it, because of the reason you don't want to see.

Their conclusions are not correct. Some of my comments refuting them have been censored.
1
@benakovasger It was indeed YouTube, they even told me so. There are many books and texts I could recommend you but mentioning them is exactly what gets my comments censored. I had written a comment, maybe it is still here since I don't know which comment got censored, about how they were wrong about overrepresentation in Bolsheviks. A book by one of those tribesmen concluded the opposite of the video's conclusion. You be the judge.

They're political, not meritorious.

Despite the name, Ashkenazi Jews are genetically southern European, and cluster together with southern Italians and Greeks, and nowhere near any Germanic people.
1
@ShimobeSama I am talking about genetic clustering. Today, modern AJs cluster with Greeks, not with Germans.
1
@ShimobeSama According to Eran Elhaik they are originally from Ashkenaz in northeast Turkey, hence their name. They never intermixed with Germans or Slavs, at least not enough to move their modern groups away from clustering with the Turks. All autosomal studies cluster AJs with Greeks and Turks, not with any Continental European nor Iberian (like the Sephardi only do).
1
Correct.
1
That makes no sense. There are entire countries where all children grow up trilingual and yet they're not geniuses. This has zero to do with intelligence. And "studying" those books does not make anyone smart, on the contrary, it atrophies their brain.
1
Regardless, they're all genetically southern European or Mediterranean and cluster autosomally with southern Italians, Greeks and Turks.
1
@shaulkofler3247 Just like Turks succeed in Germany today, so did those AJs succeed in Germany and Hungary and Czechia. It's their genes, they have Mediterranean genes, they are the people who civilized themselves and the Germans and Celts. Hence it is genetic.
