Jews are the smartest people

[Revoltingest]

Really awful comment

But pithy.
As we see in the Jewish State & from supporters
here, the vast majority favor what Israel is doing,
ie, apartheid, oppression, torture, murder, war
crimes, genocide, & the utter failure to consider
that Palestinians would be less inclined to
rebellion if the received justice instead of boots
on necks.

 

[Heyo]

Really awful comment

I could also have pointed at the other extreme in the table (Economics 41%) but that would have been too stereotypical.

I've noticed this disproportion in many other areas too. My thought is genetics is the heaviest influence on the disproportion.

And that leads me to see history and society today influenced by ethnic genetics. And that gets me vehemently called a racist and I'm not sure I'm in the mood for that emotional wave coming at me.

Scientific Racism without hatred or ill-will to anyone is not really socially acceptable at this time.

I of course understand the opposition to ethnic genetically produced tendencies, but I think their argument is well-intentioned but doesn't seem to fit the facts.

Eugenics is valid, and I can tell from first hand experience because my sister and me are both adopted. Her family came from a family of doctors and mine, well I kind of think Woodstock and drugs, and let me tell you she put herself through college on her own and was on the Dean's List every single year from freshman to graduate.

She became a director of a municipality department and then later went into her own Medical Practice.

Me I was a truck driver, lost my job due to left wing government regulations, and now I'm working in a factory back at square one and that's the way I'm going to be until I retire and die.

Do you mean "genetics" instead of "eugenics"?

Of the 965 individual recipients of the Nobel Prize and the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences between 1901 and 2023, at least 214 have been Jews or people with at least one Jewish parent, representing 22% of all recipients. Jews comprise only 0.2% of the world's population, meaning their share of winners is 110 times their proportion of the world's population.

Jews have been awarded all six of the Nobel Foundation's awards:

• Chemistry: 36 (19% of total)
• Economics: 38 (41% of total)
• Literature: 16 (13% of total)
• Peace: 9 (8% of total)
• Physics: 56 (25% of total)
• Physiology or Medicine: 59 (26% of total)

That is very impressive.

According to most eastern religions like Buddhism and Hinduism all human beings reincarnate on Earth and go through many, many cycles of birth-death-rebirth. So, all of us have been through thousands of lifetimes. Eventually after we have achieved 'enlightenment', we are liberated from this cycle of birth-death-rebirth and move on to higher realms without any need to be reborn on Earth. All of us eventually 'graduate' from this Earthly school and no longer need to reincarnate.

For some reason, this liberation from the cycle of birth-death-rebirth has eluded most of the members of the Jewish race. In other words, most Jews are very, very old souls who have spent far more lives on Earth than members of most of the other races and religions. Jews are like people who have attended the same grade in school many, many times. Hence, having experienced life on Earth more times than most other people, they are by far the smartest race (in terms of Earthly smartness).

BTW this explanation was given to me by a very wise old man who was knowledgeable in many esoteric matters (and who has now passed on). I don't know how much truth there is in it, but I offer it for your consideration

I think the liberation spoken of is something applicable through each life lived as we are all liberated after death, with no account of past lives or future for that matter and removed from the cycle.


But as with all phenomena it is only temporary before the lights come on again and it continues. I think the main issue for those that would not recognize that train of thought will be those who attribute themselves as being a soul that goes from body to body which is more Hindu than it is Buddhist.

Hindus call this liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth 'moksha', Buddhists call the liberation 'nirvana'. Neither believe that moksha or nirvana happen at the end of each life.

The story I was told was that most Jews have not attained this liberation and have thus instead experienced life on Earth far more than members of other races or religions - making them 'smarter' in Earth terms.

.... Neither believe that moksha or nirvana happen at the end of each life. ...

I think you are confusing that with parinirvana.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

re-read my post. If they are not practicing, then those 10 out of several million are certainly irrelevant to what I posted.

Hows that when secular, non practicing Jews are among those referenced in the OP?

Which of course happens upon death.

So, you think "release from worldly suffering and rebirths " means at every death?

I am afraid I need to block you, sorry!
