RadixJournal - Jewish Genius？

00:00:00.720 It's Monday, December 30th, 2019, and welcome back to the McSpencer Group.

00:00:08.980 On this final night of Hanukkah, we discuss the Jews. 0.57

00:00:13.580 Are they smart? Are they a race? Are they ethnically nepotistic? 0.73

00:00:19.260 Brett Stevens of the New York Times recently stirred up controversy by claiming that Jews as a race are highly intelligent

00:00:26.320 and possess, bracing originality and high-minded purpose?

00:00:31.520 Or did the ancients have it right in viewing the Jews as conformist, obstinate, and dogmatic? 0.99

00:00:37.920 We'll find out.

00:00:39.540 Joining me, as always, is the easily imitable Edward Dutton.

00:00:46.140 All right, welcome back. Ed, how are you? Happy New Year.

00:00:50.340 I'm Ed K. Have you had a pleasant Christmas?

00:00:53.680 I have. I have.

00:00:55.100 Someone on Twitter noted that between Christmas and New Year's, to quote Morrissey, every day is like Sunday.

00:01:03.180 So I have been enjoying this, you know, in-between time.

00:01:08.580 My kids have been here, so I have just been relaxing, doing a little work here and there.

00:01:15.200 Did your kids get any particularly pleasant presents from you for Christmas?

00:01:19.200 Oh, they have, yes.

00:01:21.140 They got a lot of great presents.

00:01:24.680 I think the one that won is not the one that I gave them.

00:01:28.200 It's an inflatable animal that's a massive, like it's a massive blow-up rubber toy that they bounce around on.

00:01:37.660 Oh.

00:01:38.400 It's pretty funny.

00:01:39.260 But yeah, I didn't come up with that one.

00:01:40.980 But hat tip to the family member who did.

00:01:44.900 Well done.

00:01:45.400 Well done.

00:01:46.040 Well done.

00:01:46.320 How about you?

00:01:48.300 The winning present was a PlayStation 3 or 4 or something.

00:01:53.700 Oh, no.

00:01:54.820 That was unfortunately, yes, that was a very non-materialistic gift.

00:01:58.740 And they enjoyed that a great deal.

00:02:00.220 And they've been playing Minecraft, which is this awful game.

00:02:04.000 Well, Minecraft is kind of mind-expanding.

00:02:06.160 That's good for kids.

00:02:07.700 I guess.

00:02:07.920 I suppose so.

00:02:08.520 So, yes, they've been very happy about that.

00:02:11.020 So, the PlayStation, or Plaker, as they call it here, was extremely successful.

00:02:16.940 So, yeah.

00:02:17.620 Well, I'll do a little skiing after this broadcast, so you can tell.

00:02:23.140 But, so, yes, the in-between time, Christmas time, is going well.

00:02:27.060 Well, let's talk about the Jews. 0.56

00:02:30.480 Speaking of Christmas time, they are, I guess, the ultimate progenitors of the celebration of the birth of Christ.

00:02:40.520 But, so, it was either yesterday or the day before that New York Times op-ed columnist, Brett Stevens, who is a former Wall Street Journal neocon op-ed columnist.

00:02:57.080 And I believe he was at the Jerusalem Post before that, or a similar Jewish newspaper like that.

00:03:08.340 And he waded into the troubled waters of HPD and IQ and race realism, you could say.

00:03:19.400 Just as a little bit of background, I have definitely seen this before.

00:03:25.560 So, there is a huge literature on human biodiversity writ large, we could say, literature that, Ed, you've contributed to, literature that you are a master of as well.

00:03:40.660 But this literature, unlike, say, literature on climate science or other things, very rarely reaches the mainstream.

00:03:50.520 Whereas, we're not allowed to question global warming, you know, and we're told, at least, that there is this massive scientific consensus on this subject.

00:04:00.900 When it comes to race, we're in a bit of an opposite situation, a bizarro world, where there actually is a tremendous amount of reasons to believe in race realism or IQ realism, heritability writ large.

00:04:23.600 But we're actually told by mainstream sources over and over again that no one actually believes this and it's all wrong.

00:04:32.900 Or if they're a little bit smarter, they'll go in and deconstruct it and things like that.

00:04:38.180 So, this is the situation we're in.

00:04:39.740 But every few years, some mainstream journalist wades into these troubled waters and usually gets smacked down on the blogs and on Twitter, etc., for doing so.

00:04:54.200 And the ones who have done this, I've noticed a trend.

00:04:57.560 Brett Stevens is the latest, but Andrew Sullivan has done this multiple times.

00:05:01.980 While Andrew Sullivan was the editor of the Atlantic Monthly, I believe he published an issue dedicated to the bell curve in the 90s, he has often brought up these issues of IQ realism, not necessarily race realism.

00:05:17.500 Probably eight or ten years ago, I can't remember, William Salatin at Slate or Solano, I always mix those two up, also did a kind of race realism-ish article and he was smacked down for it and actually apologized.

00:05:37.140 So, I've noticed this trend where conservatives won't talk about this stuff, at least mainstream conservatives won't.

00:05:43.580 But you'll occasionally get the brave liberal centrist who has bona fides on his side as cover.

00:05:53.400 So, it's, I'm a Jewish neoconservative, I'm a gay conservative who voted for Obama in the case of Andrew Sullivan, or I'm a centrist liberal in the case of Salatin. 0.56

00:06:04.360 And so, they kind of say, I'm the one who can talk about this, not those evil racists.

00:06:10.140 And usually there is a big firestorm and then it kind of dies down.

00:06:15.200 Maybe there's an apology, maybe a retraction.

00:06:18.180 But each of those people have maintained their careers, it's worth pointing out.

00:06:23.280 Whereas, and Charles Murray has maintained his career in neocon think tanks.

00:06:28.160 But certainly others who pursue these ideas are cast to the margins or sometimes can have their careers ruined.

00:06:37.260 Sam Francis is, who had a mainstream career and was pushed out to the margins, is an excellent example of that.

00:06:44.980 Of course, he was a right-winger who was taking up many of these issues.

00:06:48.480 But Brett Stevens has done it, and he's done it in a kind of slippery way in the New York Times.

00:06:54.560 He's basically said that, yes, Ashkenazi Jews have higher IQs on average.

00:07:01.140 However, that's not the real thing.

00:07:03.060 It's their ability to think differently.

00:07:05.540 Kind of Steve Jobs-esque, like that.

00:07:07.960 So what I wanted to do here, I think we can go in and talk about the article itself a little bit.

00:07:15.760 But to be honest, I don't think the article is terribly interesting.

00:07:19.100 I do want to jump on some of Brett Stevens' assertions, which I find kind of revealing, maybe in an ironic way.

00:07:28.060 But I thought it would be a better idea to talk about the whole issue of IQ heritability, you could say race realism, although it's a little bit different in this case, and also just Jewish genius and Jewish success, Jewish IQ, and all those issues.

00:07:46.880 So kind of like a big backgrounder for this debate and reasons why we should take these ideas seriously.

00:07:56.220 So, Ed, I think I'll just let you run with it from the start.

00:08:02.200 Is it true that those Jews are just so smart? 1.00

00:08:08.580 Yes.

00:08:10.880 When we're talking about Ashkenazi Jews, this is the case. 1.00

00:08:15.760 There are some people that I've read on the alt-right or whatever that have cast doubt on this.

00:08:21.120 But even in the 1930s, there were IQ tests that were published in Germany, which showed that Jewish people had considerably higher, Ashkenazi Jewish people, considerably higher average IQ than Germans.

00:08:33.420 So it's not some new thing.

00:08:34.820 It's not some new phenomenon.

00:08:35.840 It doesn't solely relate to Jews, Ashkenazi Jews in the USA.

00:08:39.280 It's Ashkenazi Jews everywhere, which is one of the reasons why the high caste in Israel that runs Israel is Ashkenazi Jews. 0.99

00:08:47.800 And the other Jews, the Midrahim and so on, are in the middle. 1.00

00:08:54.220 Well, Sephardic Jews generally have a little bit of a lower IQ, don't they, than Ashkenazi? 1.00

00:09:01.320 No. 0.73

00:09:01.980 It depends on – oh, they have a lower IQ than Ashkenazi. 1.00

00:09:04.460 Oh, yes, yes.

00:09:05.080 But one of the things that has been found is that – I mean, Richard Lynn has done a good book on this called The Chosen People.

00:09:11.060 And in every society where there have been – so in the three kinds of Jew, the Mishraim, the Sephardi, and the Ashkenazi, they all have higher IQs than their host societies. 0.83

00:09:22.880 So the average IQ of Western societies is around about 100.

00:09:27.340 The average IQ of the Ashkenazi is about 112. 1.00

00:09:30.160 The average IQ of Spain and Portugal and Southeast Europe is maybe around about 90, 95.

00:09:36.360 Average IQ of the Sephardi is about 105. 1.00

00:09:39.560 Average IQ of the Middle East, 85.

00:09:41.440 Average IQ of the Mishraim, about 95, something like that. 0.98

00:09:44.760 So inevitably it's higher.

00:09:46.940 But it's just – with the Ashkenazi, it's particularly pronounced. 0.88

00:09:50.520 Right.

00:09:50.880 A, because Ashkenazi Jews are about 40% white anyway.

00:09:54.800 So they've accepted intermarriage from a highly intelligent race.

00:10:01.340 And B, there's just various reasons behind it that we can look at that it's elevated their IQ.

00:10:07.340 But it has.

00:10:07.880 And they have an average IQ, according to – this is massive studies, massive numbers of participants of 112.

00:10:15.040 It's 117 on linguistic IQ.

00:10:18.000 So they're particularly strong on linguistic IQ, which is consistent with the very high representation of Jews in things like law.

00:10:26.020 Journalism.

00:10:28.020 And academia, journalism.

00:10:30.620 Leftism.

00:10:31.460 Marxism.

00:10:33.140 Politics.

00:10:34.540 I mean, look at the current cabinet in the United States.

00:10:40.680 I mean, is there – how many of them are not Jewish?

00:10:43.320 Oh, right.

00:10:43.620 I mean, it's – so it's about – it's Trump, Pence, maybe one or two other people that are not Jewish.

00:10:49.600 So you can see – and that is consistent with very high linguistic IQ.

00:10:54.880 And there's a number of studies that have shown that this relationship – people would say, oh, well, it's to do with cultural factors and Jewish people being wealthier or – and apparently that's taboo to even point that out – but Jewish people being wealthier or more educated or more urban or whatever.

00:11:09.080 No, the difference is on G.

00:11:12.340 So when we look at intelligence, we divide between different kinds of intelligence, verbal, linguistic, mathematical, and these tend to intercorrelate in people.

00:11:19.660 So people that are good at one kind of – people differ in these, but people that are good at one kind are good at the other kind and the other kind.

00:11:25.820 And so there's an underlying factor which we call G.

00:11:28.580 And this has been shown from twin studies and twin adoption studies and things like this to be highly heritable, highly genetic, in the region of 0.8 heritable.

00:11:37.400 So it's a strongly genetic thing that you inherit, G, and the difference between Gentiles and Jews on IQ is on G. 0.99

00:11:48.300 It's what's called a Jensen effect.

00:11:49.980 So it's not – you could get that there's an IQ difference, but it's driven by massive differences in things that relate just vaguely to G that are to do with, I don't know, being good at spotting patterns or something like that.

00:12:02.060 It could be that that's causing it.

00:12:03.340 It isn't.

00:12:03.960 It's on G.

00:12:05.140 And there was a very interesting paper that was published last – no, this year, 2019.

00:12:10.980 Dunkel et al.

00:12:12.980 Curtis Dunkel is at the University of Western Illinois.

00:12:16.680 Apologetic scores mediate the Jewish phenotypic advantage in education, attainment, and cognizability compared to Catholics and Lutherans. 0.92

00:12:22.820 And so what this shows is that it is definitely a genetic issue.

00:12:27.780 So Jewish people, Ashkenazi Jewish people, are more intelligent than white people, much more intelligent than white people.

00:12:35.560 And it is almost half a standard deviation, 12 points.

00:12:39.560 That's the difference between the average office worker, whatever, and a schoolteacher, or the average schoolteacher and a university science professor.

00:12:47.200 That's the kind of difference we're talking about.

00:12:49.900 And so, yeah, so they are more intelligent.

00:12:52.520 The question is why.

00:12:53.920 But they are genetically more intelligent.

00:12:55.840 Before we ask – before we talk about why, I just want to reiterate this IQ profile.

00:13:03.600 And I certainly agree that the difference is G, general intelligence, which is kind of like if you're good at one thing, you're good at a lot of things.

00:13:12.340 It's true.

00:13:12.900 Some of us are – you know, have talents and all these kinds of things.

00:13:16.520 But basically, a smart person can really do anything.

00:13:21.140 I mean, if someone is great at problem solving, he could be a good baseball coach.

00:13:27.700 He could be a good finance guru.

00:13:30.060 He could be a good poet, even.

00:13:32.100 He could probably learn to play a musical instrument in the sense that if you have general intelligence, it can be applied everywhere.

00:13:39.600 But the Jewish intelligence profile is a bit lopsided, you could say, in the sense that Jews excel at verbal ability. 0.95

00:13:52.180 You can think of this as the, you know, the words, words, words, the verbal aspect of the SAT or IQ or GRE.

00:14:00.760 And they are not as good on the mathematics or spatial reasoning concept.

00:14:06.660 And actually, Asians have kind of the reverse profile in which they excel at spatial reasoning and so on, but then don't excel as much on verbal. 0.99

00:14:20.380 So, you know, your average East Asian has a higher IQ than your average white in the United States. 0.99

00:14:27.820 However, he has a different intelligence profile.

00:14:31.860 Or men and women.

00:14:32.460 You could make the comparison between men and women as well.

00:14:34.240 What is the difference between Jewish men and Jewish women? 0.99

00:14:36.920 Well, no, no, I mean between just men and women in general.

00:14:43.300 And you can say that the intelligence profile is different.

00:14:47.360 Women are, on average, a few points, in adult women, on average, a few points lower IQ than men. 0.98

00:14:52.200 But they're higher in linguistics and they're better at learning languages and things like that.

00:14:56.140 So the intelligence, whereas the male intelligence is more spatial and mathematical.

00:14:59.500 So there's this different profile.

00:15:01.640 And it's the same, yeah, with the Jews and the East Asians. 0.98

00:15:05.040 And interestingly, when you get to – the higher is the level of G, the higher you are on G, so the higher your IQ is, the narrower your intelligence becomes.

00:15:16.180 Because the more it becomes related to G.

00:15:18.640 And so you get these parts of the IQ test, the things that it tests, which are only weakly measuring G.

00:15:25.580 And lots of – any cognitive tasks you can think of, even driving a car or doing your shoelaces up or catching a ball or something.

00:15:33.360 These are weak measures of G.

00:15:35.960 And the more intelligent you are, the higher your G is, then the more narrow is your intelligence.

00:15:41.580 And often, therefore, you can be very bad at these weakly G-loaded things like driving a car or doing your shoelaces up.

00:15:47.940 But that's brilliant at highly G-loaded things such as quantum mechanics or whatever.

00:15:52.780 And it's the sort of Sheldon Cooper stereotype.

00:15:55.480 And that's what a lot of these higher IQ people like Einstein were like.

00:15:58.160 Einstein couldn't drive.

00:16:00.460 Einstein used to get lost.

00:16:01.840 There's this –

00:16:04.340 The absent-minded professor type.

00:16:05.960 Tale, yeah, the absent-minded professor.

00:16:07.680 This tale about him that he wandered into a shop in Princeton and just said,

00:16:10.860 Hi, I'm Einstein. Can you take me home, please?

00:16:13.260 And so this is the phenomenon that you get.

00:16:16.040 But, yeah, so it is lopsided.

00:16:17.660 And that's what is to be expected of a group that has very high intelligence.

00:16:20.880 Right.

00:16:21.380 All right.

00:16:21.860 So let's start to talk about why that is.

00:16:25.720 First off, Jews are a race in a way, but that's a bit of a blurry issue, to be honest, because Jews will go – I mean, Jews' entrance into Europe was an entrance into intermarriage with Gentiles. 0.73

00:16:48.660 The Mizorahim, the Oriental Jews, or whatever you want to call them, are similarly looking and have a similar intelligence profile as Arabs.

00:16:58.980 So Jews survive as a people through religion and a shared story and culture, etc.

00:17:08.000 But genetically speaking, they enter into larger host races and intermarry and interbreed and become – they're not quite a race in the sense that African Americans, even though there clearly has been intermarriage and interbreeding, you know, rape and so on in earlier times, they are a distinct race.

00:17:34.140 You can define them, whereas Jews, it's a little bit trickier. 1.00

00:17:39.480 But let's just think of them as that kind of amalgamized group.

00:17:45.320 But what are some of the reasons why they have higher IQ?

00:17:50.700 I mean, the first one is obvious, and I'll just put it out there.

00:17:54.620 It's that they actually are breeding with Gentiles. 0.99

00:17:57.140 So whatever the IQ was of, say, ancient Jews or these Middle Eastern Jews who originally entered Europe, entered Southern Europe at the beginning, I believe, they were marrying into Gentile host communities that were boosting their IQ. 0.78

00:18:15.920 So that's step one.

00:18:18.820 But what are some other reasons why they have this higher IQ than their host population?

00:18:24.920 Kevin MacDonald pointed out that in ancient times, there was no particular comment on the high intelligence of the Jews.

00:18:31.560 And the comment on the high intelligence of the Jews comes later.

00:18:34.240 So this would be consistent with some sort of breeding pattern that was going on that had started off then or a bit before then and wasn't really noticed substantially till later.

00:18:44.600 If you look at the Old Testament, in some ways, it's a kind of a manifesto for taking over the world, really, in terms of what we call group selection,

00:18:53.800 which is ensuring that your group will beat the other group and outbreed the other group in the battle for survival.

00:19:00.280 So, first of all, it very strongly promotes religiousness, obviously.

00:19:03.980 But what that religiousness is promoting as the will of God is basically ethnocentric things, things that are for the good of the group,

00:19:10.000 that make the group more self-sacrificial, that you're more internally cooperative, that cast out and kill those who are disobedient to the group,

00:19:18.920 which is manifested in them worshipping other gods or all kinds of law breakings of all kinds of minor laws. 0.75

00:19:25.360 They have to be cast out and removed, often in some depth.

00:19:28.260 I mean, even the villages where people have blasphemed, the whole village has to be destroyed.

00:19:32.540 You get these kinds of injunctions in various books in the Old Testament.

00:19:35.520 So it's making them more ethnocentric.

00:19:37.580 Another thing it seems to do is it seems to encourage people who are like the rabbis, for example,

00:19:41.860 and those who are in positions of power under these conditions that they were under.

00:19:45.740 We know that until the Industrial Revolution there was this survival of the richest, whereby the richer 50% of the population had about double the completed fertility as the poorer 50%.

00:19:57.040 And this was selecting for intelligence every generation because of the correlation between intelligence and socioeconomic status.

00:20:03.560 And what you see in the Old Testament as well are these injunctions where things are kind of relaxed when it comes to the rabbi.

00:20:09.960 More food must go to the priest.

00:20:11.880 Things are done to make the priest even richer than he is already.

00:20:16.440 And by making him even richer than he is, then, of course, you're making him a better – they're allowed to have children, which is the interesting thing, the priests.

00:20:24.240 And so, therefore, you're elevating the likelihood that it is their genes that are going to survive.

00:20:30.120 And they're going to be the most intelligent people in the society.

00:20:32.840 And the religion is elevating the likelihood that those people, the rabbis, are going to be the ones that are going to pass on their genes. 0.96

00:20:38.420 And there's many examples of this.

00:20:40.020 Real quick, do you think that the Catholic injunction against priest marrying was overall dysgenic, even if it did have some benefits, maybe some social benefits, maybe even some kind of intellectual benefits of these incels, you know, coming up with great ideas?

00:21:00.320 I've heard this.

00:21:01.500 I've never found it quite convincing.

00:21:03.700 But do you think it was an overall dysgenic effect?

00:21:06.940 There is some – yeah, I would concur with the idea that in terms of group selection, there is some benefit to having a caste that is celibate.

00:21:23.880 And then that caste pushes its energies into things which are for the good of the group.

00:21:29.020 And therefore, the group becomes more group selected, and therefore, it's more likely to survive.

00:21:35.680 Yeah, so the punishment for a daughter who's a bit of a slapper is worse if she's a priest's daughter. 0.99

00:21:42.960 So it's as if they realize that it's going to be that person's children that are going to be the future because she's rich. 0.94

00:21:49.140 So we've got to make sure if she's a slapper, she's killed. 1.00

00:21:51.400 Whereas if she's working class, they might do what she likes. 1.00

00:21:56.260 Slapper, this is English slang for –

00:21:59.900 A woman of loose virtue. 1.00

00:22:02.820 That's a euphemistic way of – yeah.

00:22:04.720 So – and then in Deuteronomy, you have similar things.

00:22:08.120 I thought that was very interesting.

00:22:08.820 Right, anyway, let's get back to what we're talking about.

00:22:10.040 What are we on here?

00:22:11.240 Yes.

00:22:12.080 Catholic priest.

00:22:12.960 I agree with you.

00:22:15.960 I mean, I also agree with group selection and that there should be some people who think for the group, and they might be incels or perhaps even better if they're not.

00:22:24.900 But so I think there is some benefit on the whole of having a celibate caste if they're operating in the right direction. 0.87

00:22:34.800 The other difference is that the rabbis who, of course, had children were highly educated by the standards of their society, were well-read, they were literate, all this kind of thing.

00:22:50.760 If you look at research on what it was like in medieval Europe – I mean, I'm familiar with the research on medieval England.

00:22:56.240 Being a priest went well down the social hierarchy.

00:22:59.320 You had working-class priests.

00:23:02.440 You had what was called poor priests who would combine being a priest, like being a kind of freelance priest, basically.

00:23:08.420 The country, a Catholic country, they were all washed with priests because the belief is that you need these priests to say masses for your soul and for the souls of your relatives.

00:23:15.500 So there's so many priests everywhere.

00:23:17.320 And you get the priests that are at the top of society, that are the bishops and whatever, and that are the vicars and whatever.

00:23:21.840 They tend to be upper class and have degrees.

00:23:23.700 Then you have those that are the curates.

00:23:25.260 They don't tend to have been to university.

00:23:27.080 And the assistant priests.

00:23:28.160 They're kind of on the same level as the yeoman and the husbandman, the middling sort, basically.

00:23:33.940 And then you have those that are even further down, the so-called poor priests, which is most of them, that don't have a parish and just kind of save masses for people for money.

00:23:43.780 So it goes right down the social hierarchy, and it goes right down the intelligence hierarchy.

00:23:48.440 And a lot of these people were probably literate or semi-literate.

00:23:50.720 They just knew a bit of Latin.

00:23:52.260 That was all.

00:23:52.840 So I don't think it would have had that much of a huge effect on reducing intelligence, as is believed.

00:23:59.620 All right.

00:24:03.400 So what about the argument of Jews and money in the sense that there's this cliché of Jews weren't able to participate in many of the professions in medieval Europe, and indeed the Catholic Church was an absolutist against usury. 0.68

00:24:26.740 And so Jews were kind of benignly forced into the occupations of moneylending. 0.97

00:24:33.480 There were Gentile moneylenders like the Medici and so on who would often come up with elaborate bookkeeping tricks to prove that they weren't actually engaging in usury. 0.97

00:24:45.140 I think that was done among Arabs or Muslims in the Middle East as well.

00:24:48.580 But there was this cliché that it probably contains a kernel of truth that these poor Jews were forced into finance, and that's why they had to develop a culture that made them so smart, which is usually how the cliché goes.

00:25:03.840 But what are the kernels of truth to that?

00:25:06.080 Yes, it does seem to be the case that when they were forced into these ghettos, there were only certain professions they could engage in.

00:25:13.980 And so consequently, and these were professions that required high cognitive abilities.

00:25:20.300 And so consequently, those that were not able to pursue those professions because they weren't clever enough, because you're going to get this effect whereby sometimes highly intelligent Jewish parents are going to have children that aren't particularly bright, and were not able to do that kind of thing, then those children are either going to die, because there's no other profession they can do, or they're going to fall down into the Gentile classes. 0.98

00:25:41.940 In much the same way that if you look at the Irish gypsies, they're not just purebred Irish gypsies.

00:25:48.600 There's a lot of just Irish people.

00:25:50.520 And what happened was those that were right at the bottom of Irish society would basically fall into the gypsy class and then sort of become gypsy. 0.95

00:25:57.600 So it's a similar kind of – there's Greg Clark has looked at this in one of his books.

00:26:03.460 So it's a similar kind of effect.

00:26:05.000 So yeah, I think that is probably true, that they were bottlenecked into these professions.

00:26:09.680 These professions – and if you couldn't do those kinds of professions, then I'm afraid you weren't going to survive, so you wouldn't pass on your genes, so you would just die.

00:26:20.140 Let me add two things here.

00:26:22.500 First off, I guess I'm a financial realist to the extent that I think loans of some kind are going to need to take place in society.

00:26:34.960 There is a time element to money and so on, and that loans can certainly, at the very least, be quite powerful in terms of projects and so on.

00:26:47.620 I generally get the criticism of a parasitic elite just kind of sucking their 0.1% off the billions that are flowing through Wall Street or something.

00:26:59.840 I think that's true to a large extent.

00:27:03.380 However, I do think that loans – that no society can quite exist without some kind of time quality to money and that this is necessary.

00:27:12.900 But I just want to point out how devastating it was for these injunctions against money lending.

00:27:19.920 The fact that we went to the ghettos in order to get a loan, whether out of dire need or out of a future vision for a project, I think this was a pretty devastating effect for Europeans.

00:27:33.980 I wish there were a stronger white financial class. 0.99

00:27:38.520 But it allowed them to feel that they were morally pure, if you like, while still doing the thing that was basically forbidden, which was engaging in history. 0.99

00:27:49.300 Whites are just so goofy. 0.97

00:27:50.640 So it was – you can see why it was attractive in much the same way that they needed – they weren't supposed to go around killing people and whatever. 0.99

00:28:00.360 So they got around that problem with things like confession, where they could kill people as they wished and then confess the sin, and then the slate was wiped clean.

00:28:08.680 So you'll always get around these things theologically eventually.

00:28:11.780 But anyway, I do think that one of the things was this focusing of them into these professions.

00:28:15.560 It is a stereotype, but I do think there's some truth in it. 1.00

00:28:18.180 And it built a racial profile, I mean, in the sense that the white racial profile, our bell curve, you could say, is quite wide in the sense that we have whites with IQs of 90, with IQs even lower than that. 0.52

00:28:34.440 We have whites of IQs of 100. 0.68

00:28:36.320 We have whites of extreme IQs and esoteric, eccentric brilliance.

00:28:41.660 And that is a real race in the sense that no society can function without laborers. 0.99

00:28:48.380 It can't function without people – janitors, without people doing this hard work that's not fun but necessary.

00:28:56.660 We also need a middle class to do the middling things. 0.99

00:29:02.000 And then we also need a upper elite that thinks and creates art and creates religion, et cetera.

00:29:09.740 So that is a full race. 0.89

00:29:11.680 The Jewish profile that has emerged is kind of a – I've described it this way. 1.00

00:29:16.880 It's a head without a body in the sense that you're going to – there are, you know, middling or dumb Jews out there. 1.00

00:29:25.440 But the Jewish racial profile is of the kind of the eccentric intellectual type. 1.00

00:29:31.380 I'm not – well, I'm not 100 percent sure I follow this for a number of reasons.

00:29:36.060 I mean, first of all, the average IQ of the Japanese is 107. 0.94

00:29:41.100 That doesn't mean that they don't have – around there, 106.

00:29:44.100 That doesn't mean they don't have laborers and things.

00:29:45.900 It just means that the whole – everybody in the society is more intelligent.

00:29:49.120 The laborer in Britain would have an IQ of, I don't know, 86 or something.

00:29:54.160 And there he has an IQ of 92.

00:29:55.900 That's all it means.

00:29:57.100 Well, I think that's great.

00:29:58.100 But I'm talking about the width of the bell curve.

00:30:00.240 So what it means is it's going to be a more efficient society and fewer things are going to go wrong and fewer little mistakes are going to happen and all this and less crime.

00:30:08.540 And equally with the Jews, if they were going to – if the Jews – if you've got a Jewish society with an average IQ of 112, all that means is that the average – the people that are the office workers and whatever in that society, the policemen and people like this will have an IQ of 112 and the teachers will have an IQ of 112 and so on. 0.80

00:30:26.620 I obviously want the IQ of laborers to go up and et cetera. 0.96

00:30:30.860 Even though there actually is a kind of breaking point, it seems like once you have an IQ of, I don't know, 115, you kind of start thinking so much about yourself and you're not willing to be a janitor perhaps.

00:30:43.940 So there are maybe some problems to that.

00:30:46.580 But generally, all things being equal, I do want to raise everyone's IQ in our race.

00:30:52.100 What I'm saying is the – to visualize it, you can think of it as the width of the bell curve in the sense that where is the Jewish proletariat?

00:31:00.900 Where are the Jewish janitors? 1.00

00:31:02.600 It seems like the Jewish racial profile is a narrow bell curve. 0.94

00:31:07.300 But that's because they are a minority.

00:31:09.960 They are a select racial minority in a country.

00:31:14.020 Even if they were a minority, you would still just have fewer janitors, but you would have them.

00:31:19.140 I mean, am I wrong that the Jewish bell curve is not narrower? 0.94

00:31:23.140 I'm not aware of any evidence the Jewish bell curve is narrower.

00:31:25.920 I've not seen that.

00:31:26.680 In the same way that you're going to – the Asian-Americans, the Northeast Asian-Americans do better than the whites, so you don't get much of an American, Northeast Asian working class.

00:31:39.320 You used to when they first came there to California in the 1850s or whatever, of course, because there was nothing else for them to do other than labor, and that's why they came. 0.93

00:31:46.700 But they will quickly rise up the society.

00:31:49.200 It's the same with the Jews. 1.00

00:31:50.000 And if you create a purely Jewish society, then you will get a Jewish working class. 0.95

00:31:58.180 And the only thing that's militated against that is the presence of the Ethiopian Jews, who, of course, are – from Ethiopia, the blacks, who, of course, have an average IQ of about 75, 80. 0.98

00:32:12.160 And hasn't the Jewish – Jews have – Jews are not monolithic.

00:32:16.980 They have different impulses.

00:32:18.400 And hasn't the impulse towards Jewish nationalism, the idea that we're going to all go and farm in a kibbutz and live in a kind of communal society, hasn't that failed at some level?

00:32:30.000 And the other ideal of a global people that is embedded in other societies, hasn't that been clearly the most successful version of Jews? 0.99

00:32:42.160 That Jews are – they have a different racial profile. 1.00

00:32:46.620 They have a different racial ideal than Gentiles who are landed. 1.00

00:32:50.960 We like to think of ourselves as having a nation.

00:32:54.000 It's a big swath of land.

00:32:55.980 There are people who are – you know, grow out of the soil itself.

00:32:59.900 And then we also have elites and military people and so on.

00:33:03.300 Whereas the Jewish profile, it's a stereotype, but it says something true, which is rootless cosmopolitans. 1.00

00:33:12.140 And that is more intelligent groups that go different places and are embedded into these societies.

00:33:21.760 I mean, it's a stereotype, but isn't it true?

00:33:24.040 That's fine.

00:33:24.520 I don't disagree with that.

00:33:25.880 But if you think that what are a lot of the sort of upper middle class in England or whatever, they are the nowheres.

00:33:31.740 They are the rootless cosmopolitans.

00:33:33.820 And so it follows if a race has – well, just – OK. 0.92

00:33:38.220 Well, just if we're going to talk in stereotypes, then there's a degree to which that stereotype bears out.

00:33:42.440 And so these nowheres, these Brexit voters, these anti-Brexit voters, sorry, these people like that.

00:33:49.520 And so the Jews are simply a people who have an IQ that's almost a standard deviation higher than that of Europeans. 0.99

00:33:56.060 So it follows that far more of them are going to have these kinds of values that are associated with high intelligence Europeans, i.e. to be rootless and open and, as you say.

00:34:07.340 So I think that kind of fits to some extent.

00:34:10.720 And you'd expect it of them.

00:34:12.480 The thing that would militate against that, perhaps, would be things like very high levels of ethnocentrism or very high levels of conformism.

00:34:21.440 So with the Northeast Asians, I don't know if they have values that are more cosmopolitan, but then you could argue they've been more selected for this highly ethnocentric society.

00:34:31.040 And also their intelligence is more bunched.

00:34:33.980 And there's other factors that are involved there.

00:34:37.100 But, yeah, I mean, the Jews are adapted to a different ecology from us. 1.00

00:34:40.460 So with reference to your comment about us being grounded in the soil and whatever, it would follow that they're adapted to a different ecology.

00:34:47.100 And so they would see things differently, that the selection pressures have been different.

00:34:51.220 And so, yeah, you would expect them perhaps to have a different modal nature.

00:34:57.220 So, yeah, I'm just...

00:34:59.220 Okay.

00:34:59.940 Well, we...

00:35:00.360 Okay.

00:35:00.640 We kind of agree.

00:35:03.100 We have a little bit of disagreement there.

00:35:04.680 I mean, one of the things that I took away from Richard Lenn's book that I believe he was taking from the work of Harpending and Cochran, the late, sadly late, Henry Harpending, man I knew quite well.

00:35:19.900 He was a very nice guy.

00:35:21.080 Did you ever meet him by any chance?

00:35:22.640 No, I wrote his obituary for Matt Van Quarterly.

00:35:25.520 That was...

00:35:25.780 Yes.

00:35:26.220 Okay.

00:35:26.920 Well, he was a very smart but very down-to-earth fun guy who died four or five years ago, I think.

00:35:36.480 But what was I saying?

00:35:38.780 Yes, so they talked about actually the pogroms in Russia and in Central Europe as being eugenic at some level in the sense that the smarter, more intelligent ones had a better means of escaping, of paying off someone, of maybe reading a newspaper report about this happening elsewhere and leaving and so on.

00:36:03.540 And it was actually the lower class Jews who took the brunt of the pogroms and blood libel accusations and all that kind of stuff.

00:36:12.820 And that this aspect of their recent history was actually highly eugenic.

00:36:19.520 Yes, that would make a great deal of sense.

00:36:22.000 And also, interestingly, the difference in IQ between the whites, the Eastern Europeans and whatever, and the Ashkenazi, that's the biggest difference. 0.83

00:36:32.640 It's a difference of 12 points, whereas the difference between the Sephardi and the Spanish-Portuguese, whatever, is not as...

00:36:39.420 It is...

00:36:39.720 There is the difference there, but it's not as substantial.

00:36:42.200 And the difference...

00:36:42.980 There was not much pogroms in the Middle East, Mishraim, and that's where the difference is the smallest.

00:36:47.920 So it entirely makes sense that these pogroms, they would be selection events because you...

00:36:52.340 Intelligence correlates with time preference, future orientation.

00:36:57.760 The more intelligent you are, the more inclined you are to think for the future, the more inclined you are to not just live for the now.

00:37:03.360 And that's going to have an effect in situations like that.

00:37:06.320 So you can think about it in...

00:37:07.940 The Holocaust would be, therefore, a very good example of a selection event. 0.97

00:37:12.000 And this is something that Richard Lynn argues in his book, because who are the people that are going to be planning for the future and thinking to themselves in 1933, or even before that, even before the Nazis came to power, I've got to get out of here.

00:37:26.740 This is going to get very, very bad.

00:37:28.720 And the less intelligent people are going to think to themselves, well, it might get bad, but it would be a lot of effort to put in to move the country or whatever.

00:37:35.380 So let's move country, but let's not move very far.

00:37:37.780 Let's move from Germany to the Netherlands or something like that, rather than move to England or to the United States.

00:37:45.940 And so it seems obvious that it's going to...

00:37:47.920 It would have had a very significant effect on the intelligence of the Ashkenazi, that would have been the more intelligent who would have been left behind. 0.96

00:37:56.780 And so in that sense, again, it's consistent with what you were saying, the lack of a Jewish working class or whatever, that these kinds of people that had those kinds of IQs,

00:38:04.840 although there would have been fewer of them in proportion to the Gentiles, the capita, would have been much more likely to have been wiped out in these selected events, particularly the Holocaust.

00:38:15.840 Right. Let's talk a little bit about Jewish genius.

00:38:19.580 And I want to push back a little bit on the quantitative view, which is expressed by Brett Stevens, which is, look at all of these Jews winning Nobel Prizes or getting big university gigs and so on.

00:38:35.500 One of the quantitative conclusions reached by Richard Lynn was that, or empirical conclusions, you could say, reached by Richard Lynn, was that IQ actually didn't explain Jewish disproportionate success in things like Nobel Prizes or university positions, etc.

00:38:58.340 That just looking at a straight IQ, we would imagine that if they're 3% of the population, they might be 15% or 20% of the university professors or so on.

00:39:11.580 But it's actually higher, and it's higher in terms of the Nobel Prizes.

00:39:15.240 So you could answer that in a couple of different ways.

00:39:18.460 You could say that, well, there's this extreme Jewish genius, actually, that so they might be outnumbered in terms of people with IQs of 115, but they're really outnumbered in terms of people with IQs of 130 or something like that. 0.96

00:39:31.300 Maybe there's some truth to that.

00:39:32.440 But I would actually push back a little bit on that and say that there is Jewish ethnocentric networking going on, something where their religion is a tremendous benefit to their people's success.

00:39:48.840 Quite unlike whites' religion, I would add, which is, at least ideologically, Christianity today is almost the opposite of ethnocentrism in its express views. 0.96

00:40:03.820 But so there actually is a kind of ethnic nepotism taking place that promotes this.

00:40:10.760 And even Ron Unz, who a few years ago did a very important article on the Ivy League and Jews, was actually proving that whites and Asians are being discriminated against.

00:40:23.460 It's not just a matter of, oh, well, Jews are smart.

00:40:28.000 Of course they're going to go to the Ivy League now that the Ivy League has been open to them since the 1960s or so, and that started to change.

00:40:36.060 It actually is a case that there is a nepotistic ethnocentrism going on in which Jews are outnumbered in the Ivy League in comparison to their IQ.

00:40:48.640 And this is important.

00:40:50.640 I think today, is there a Supreme Court justice that doesn't have an Ivy League degree?

00:40:55.080 There might be one or so.

00:40:56.200 But in terms of just getting a leg up into highly influential or, at the very least, highly symbolic political positions, having an Ivy League degree is a huge benefit.

00:41:11.820 And that there is a tremendous amount of networking going on behind the scenes that is silent to the outside world but is quite loud to the inner group.

00:41:22.980 Yes, I make three points about that.

00:41:24.860 So, firstly, there was a paper, I don't know if it's been replicated or anything, that was by Cochrane, Hardy, and Harpending.

00:41:32.920 And it argued that the Jews are prone to these certain congenital conditions, such as schizoglipid, DNA repair, Goucher's disease, these kinds of things.

00:41:47.800 Traceax, I think, is a big...

00:41:49.440 Yes, these conditions that are very prevalent among the Jews.

00:41:54.860 And what he showed is that these conditions correlate with IQ.

00:41:58.240 So, people that have relatives with those conditions tend to have high IQ.

00:42:02.360 So, the argument is that what's going on is that you get conditions like this, where if you have one copy of the gene, you have something negative and awful that happens to you, let's say.

00:42:13.320 But if you have two copies, then something positive happens to you, something adaptive.

00:42:16.940 And the consequence of that is that the negative thing, the condition, stays in the population because the damage that's done by the condition is massively outweighed by the positive thing, i.e. high intelligence.

00:42:27.440 So, that could be one.

00:42:30.600 Positive couple, there's a condition where if you have the one copy, I think it is, you are resistant to malaria.

00:42:37.560 Brilliant.

00:42:38.140 And if you have two copies, then there's some terrible condition that you get. 0.99

00:42:42.260 It's a condition among black people. 1.00

00:42:44.020 And so, the consequence of this is that it stays in the population. 0.90

00:42:48.420 So, that's one possibility in terms of Jewish intelligence.

00:42:51.560 There are these peculiar genes for intelligence that have popped up because of the selection bottleneck that Jews were in and that they've stayed there. 1.00

00:42:59.760 Another issue in terms of understanding their over-representation is their personality.

00:43:04.000 So, there was a study that was led by, again, this Curtis Dunkel fellow who I mentioned earlier.

00:43:07.900 And he showed that what's called the general factor of personality of Jews is higher than that of white Gentiles. 0.89

00:43:14.340 The general factor of personality is basically the socially effective personality.

00:43:20.240 The aspects of what we call in psychology the big five personality traits, agreeableness, which is altruism and empathy, conscientiousness, which is rule following and that kind of thing, and impulse control.

00:43:30.680 Extroversion, which is feeling positive, feeling strongly.

00:43:32.740 Neuroticism, negative feelings strongly.

00:43:34.740 And openness, intellect, openness to new ideas, that kind of thing.

00:43:38.040 And this is a G factor, like there's a G factor with intelligence.

00:43:41.840 There's a G factor that underpins these.

00:43:44.340 Which is, are you socially effective or not socially effective?

00:43:47.940 And Jews are higher in that general factor of personality than Gentiles. 1.00

00:43:52.260 And general factor of personality predicts educational success, socioeconomic success, how much you earn, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:43:58.300 The essence of it is being socially effective.

00:44:01.680 So, you have these big five personality traits.

00:44:03.860 And there's a G factor, a general factor, which underpins those, where they intercorrelate.

00:44:07.860 And that is on whether you are socially effective or not socially effective.

00:44:11.860 And Jewish people score higher on the GFP than do white Gentiles. 0.89

00:44:18.440 And this social effectiveness predicts doing well in education, doing well in work, socioeconomically predicts making money, basically predicts getting on in life.

00:44:28.200 And that's what Jews are higher in than Gentiles. 1.00

00:44:32.220 And you are probably, I think, another thing that myself and this Curtis Dunkel fellow did a paper on was on Jewish ethnocentrism.

00:44:39.620 And what we proved using a sample of different white religious groups and Jews was that Jews, even controlling for things like intelligence, are the most ethnocentric. 0.93

00:44:49.660 They are the most group-centric of the different religious groups.

00:44:53.400 They are the most inclined to regard it as important that somebody who is their friend is a member of their group, i.e. Jewish, and so on.

00:45:01.540 So, they are the most ethnocentric.

00:45:02.940 Now, to follow from that, if we look at the research by J. Philippe Rushton on genetic similarity theory, that people act in their genetic interests.

00:45:10.800 And you can act in your genetic interests by looking after your children and whatever, investing energy in them, as we've been doing at Christmas, investing in your kin, investing even in friends who tend to be more genetically similar than two random members of the same ethnic group, but also in investing in your ethnic group.

00:45:26.300 And we know that people do that.

00:45:28.280 And so, if the group is more ethnocentric than the other group, than whites, then you would expect them to disproportionately do that. 0.57

00:45:35.180 You would expect them to be highly ethnically nepotistic, more so than would be a less ethnic group. 1.00

00:45:42.980 I mean, this has been shown, if you compare whites and Northeast Asians within the USA, Northeast Asian children are more ethnically nepotistic. 1.00

00:45:51.840 They're more inclined to want friends that are of the same race as them.

00:45:55.460 They're more inclined to bond with people more so than whites are. 0.94

00:45:59.220 So, I would suspect that this would be also the case when you compare Jews and whites. 0.62

00:46:02.480 And interestingly, in academia, there was a paper that was published about 20 or 25 years ago, or something was it now, at Schuwen-Greenwald.

00:46:11.600 And they showed that people, they got Jewish academics and they got white academics, and then they got them to cite academic papers.

00:46:20.520 They found that, so when you've got to cite something, all else being equal, Jewish academics will cite other Jewish academics.

00:46:26.320 Let's say they need a random citation on whatever it is, you know, the politics of Spain.

00:46:32.780 Jewish academics will cite Jewish academics, and non-Jewish academics will cite non-Jewish academics.

00:46:36.600 So, this again shows you that there is very real possibility for ethnic nepotism in academia.

00:46:41.560 And why wouldn't there be? Because you would expect ethnic nepotism in any area of life. 0.63

00:46:45.620 And particularly if they were a minority, then you would expect them to act in their own interests, ethnocentrically, until they were.

00:46:52.760 So, that would, again, that would make sense as well.

00:46:55.680 And it's both probably a little bit conscious and a little bit unconscious as well.

00:47:00.000 And you could add to that this trend of, say, Jewish atheism, that is, Jews losing touch with their religion, becoming your average individualist liberal, 0.84

00:47:12.800 but then maintaining what are effectively Jewish societies, Jewish groups that do intellectual work, Jewish academic circles, et cetera.

00:47:26.120 That a lot of these, you know, supposedly secular leftist organizations are, in fact, Jewish organizations, ethnically speaking,

00:47:34.720 even if every single member of them is an agnostic atheist, et cetera.

00:47:40.180 All right.

00:47:42.820 Let me just add one thing, because we've been focusing on HBD and maybe not something that I think Jews excel at more than anything.

00:47:55.140 And this has something to do with their IQ profile being verbally adept.

00:47:59.180 But I think it's much deeper than that.

00:48:02.180 And that is they excel at morality.

00:48:04.980 And you can see this in Brett Stevens' article. 0.97

00:48:10.240 He begins the article with this amusing, but I find rather stupid anecdote about some Jews in Lithuania who don't understand why their rabbi doesn't like soccer games. 0.63

00:48:28.240 And so they take him to a professional soccer match to see this. 0.88

00:48:32.340 And his response to this is, I know how to solve this problem.

00:48:36.280 Why don't we give each team their own ball so they stop fighting over the ball? 0.73

00:48:40.840 And this is, according to Brett Stevens, their amazing ability to think outside the box and question premises and so on.

00:48:50.640 I find this to be just utterly destructive and utterly childish moralism in the sense that there is a Aryan spirit, you know, writ large, but there's an Anglo-Saxon spirit of fair play and competition and sport. 0.98

00:49:09.700 The idea that there are rules that you have to play by, and you play by these rules, you can excel.

00:49:16.820 There's a game and a competition, there are winners and losers, but actually, at the end of the day, the losers aren't killed.

00:49:24.460 They can fight another day, and the winner can actually go and shake hands with the loser and say,

00:49:29.740 good sport, you might have lost today, but you could win tomorrow, and you are a decent person.

00:49:37.700 The spirit of fair play, which is, I think, actually quite unique to us. 0.99

00:49:43.160 And this is destroyed by the childish moralism of this stupid rabbi who wants to give each team their own ball. 1.00

00:49:50.540 It's the kind of thing I would expect from a three-year-old. 1.00

00:49:52.760 Jews don't so much think outside the box as much as they simply have a different box that they're thinking in, 0.99

00:50:02.140 and that this comes into conflict with their host groups.

00:50:06.620 And you could say it's, you know, you know, oh, real heady stuff, you're mind-blowing, you're questioning everything,

00:50:14.340 but it's actually just their own form of dogmatism.

00:50:17.720 Jews excel at moralism and at dogmatism and at in-group conformist thinking. 1.00

00:50:26.780 And this notion that they're idiosyncratic is ridiculous. 0.99

00:50:30.320 They're only idiosyncratic in the sense that they exist in a host society that thinks differently than they do. 0.97

00:50:37.000 And Jews would not exist without moralization. 0.99

00:50:39.820 The greatest trans—I mean, you know, to Nietzsche post here a little bit, since we've been science posting for a while,

00:50:48.660 the greatest trans-evaluation of all values occurred at the very end of the ancient world

00:50:56.220 with the creation of Judaism and then ultimately a Jewish faith, that is Christianity,

00:51:04.320 that valued the weak, that made being strong and beautiful and heroic and dominant a bad thing

00:51:14.700 and reversed the morality of the Romans, reversed the morality of the ancient world,

00:51:21.700 and ultimately structured what we could call liberalism and leftism.

00:51:26.020 So it is a conformist, dogmatic moralism that defines Jews. 0.99

00:51:33.280 It is not thinking outside the box.

00:51:35.440 It's simply in another box.

00:51:38.140 Yes, it's a highly—you can contrast the two with the European— 0.80

00:51:43.000 they are a highly ethnocentric group and they are evolved to be highly ethnocentric.

00:51:47.440 Right.

00:51:47.980 Europeans seem to be selected to be low in ethnocentrism, but high in basically genius.

00:51:54.640 So they have this—the consequence of this is that they produce these—they're low in ethnocentrism,

00:52:00.060 this allows them to trade, their gene pool gets larger, they throw up these geniuses by genetic chance,

00:52:05.360 sort of this unlikely combination of high intelligence and moderately antisocial personality.

00:52:09.360 They come up with brilliant inventions.

00:52:11.180 This allows them to expand further and further and further and further and further,

00:52:14.300 and that is what the European man, particularly English man, has achieved. 0.88

00:52:19.160 Jews are not like that.

00:52:20.540 They are—more like the East Asians in that way, they are highly ethnocentric. 0.99

00:52:24.320 And what that would predict would be wanting everyone to get along, internal harmony, that kind of thing,

00:52:29.120 no conflict, lack of conflict, lack of competition.

00:52:31.660 Within their group.

00:52:32.620 Within their group, yeah.

00:52:34.040 And it would allow them, according to computer models, to better compete against other groups,

00:52:39.000 all else being equal, intelligence being equal and whatever.

00:52:41.480 But within their group, they would want in-group harmony,

00:52:43.980 and they wouldn't want people fighting each other.

00:52:45.960 And the kind of cut-and-thrust debate of ideas that goes with academia and genius and whatever

00:52:50.940 would be more of a problem there.

00:52:52.800 So you can see why they would promote ethnocentrism within their own group.

00:52:56.160 You can see why they would act to undermine ethnocentrism with this kind of culture of critique,

00:53:00.780 where you critique all values or whatever,

00:53:03.460 with the group to whom they're competing,

00:53:05.340 because it would be in their interest for that group to be less ethnocentric.

00:53:08.360 Right.

00:53:08.880 Because, OK, that group is dominant because it has high genius and high intelligence,

00:53:12.220 but ethnocentrism has to stay up above a certain level for it to be religious

00:53:15.940 and for it to have meaning, for it to have a sense of itself.

00:53:17.900 So if that goes lower, then you're winning in the battle of group selection against them

00:53:23.080 if their ethnocentrism goes too low.

00:53:25.400 So, yeah, I would agree with that.

00:53:27.340 It's that they are a more ethnocentric society.

00:53:29.720 And also this verbalism, I mean, in the sense of this obsession with law,

00:53:36.080 obsession with dogma that defines the Jews, as opposed to Europeans.

00:53:40.620 I mean, we are a people of representational art, of beauties expressing a kind of godlike quality.

00:53:50.640 The Jews are a Semitic people of law and dogma, of the monotheism of the desert,

00:53:57.160 and of unrepresentational art.

00:53:59.800 Indeed, one of the Ten Commandments, it's one that is either misunderstood or ignored,

00:54:05.720 is that one will not make graven images of anything, whether it be a god or the fishes in the sea,

00:54:13.220 whereas the European spirit is about making representation of godlike qualities.

00:54:20.540 And again, I think some of the worst people in our race really resonate with this obsession with text 0.98

00:54:27.800 and verbalism, whether you call it logos, which is a stupid meme in the alt-right, 0.99

00:54:34.060 or constitutional fetishism, or biblical fetishism. 0.99

00:54:38.920 It is not us.

00:54:40.440 Those things are words, words, words.

00:54:42.940 Our culture is about something fundamentally different.

00:54:46.980 And we've come into conflict, confrontation with these Jewish elements, 0.99

00:54:53.140 and they have changed us.

00:54:56.000 You know, I would also add, in terms of the Jewish genius,

00:55:00.660 I mean, the story of philosophy might include Spinoza as, you know, an eccentric addendum,

00:55:10.580 but the story of philosophy does not involve Jewish thinkers up until the 20th century.

00:55:18.420 Well, no, because they weren't living in science or functioning with philosophy.

00:55:23.140 It doesn't.

00:55:24.700 And the story of music as well.

00:55:27.300 I mean, I actually like the music of Mendelssohn, but it is highly derivative,

00:55:33.520 and Jewish influence into music in the 20th century has been entirely malign.

00:55:40.440 I mean, I think the canon of music would benefit a great deal by removing Schoenberg,

00:55:45.840 who came up with these, you know, again, law-abiding, dogmatic, 12-tone system

00:55:51.960 that is totally unmusical and kind of non-representational in the sense that it is about,

00:55:59.340 it's like a mathematician's form of music and not someone who wants to represent emotions and spirit

00:56:06.160 that you would see in Wagner or Puccini or Verdi or Mozart.

00:56:10.980 It's underrated in terms of his emotional voice.

00:56:12.900 As you know, I have no interest in music of any kind, so I can't really comment on that.

00:56:17.960 But I'm sure, I just know what I like, that's all.

00:56:23.320 Well, I'm not interested.

00:56:25.560 Yeah, okay.

00:56:26.180 So anyway, and again, the history of the Jewish influence into philosophy has basically,

00:56:32.840 in the 20th century, has basically been dogmatic Marxism of some kind,

00:56:36.600 or neoconservatism, or whatever.

00:56:38.920 So just the idea that Jews are...

00:56:42.440 It's been idealism.

00:56:43.300 I did a study on this.

00:56:44.840 It's been, it's proved that, actually.

00:56:47.520 Yeah, it's been idealism.

00:56:48.840 They are hugely overrepresented in idealists, and you don't get many of them comparatively.

00:56:52.140 Among acknowledged great analytic philosophers, the only one really is A.J. Eyre.

00:56:57.820 Right.

00:56:58.460 So, that's it.

00:57:01.420 And was he, I mean, he was half Jewish, I suppose.

00:57:03.540 So, that's it.

00:57:04.800 That's true.

00:57:05.880 They're influences of a certain kind, and they're geniuses of a certain kind.

00:57:09.820 The specific kind.

00:57:10.680 The specific kind.

00:57:11.700 Their evolution.

00:57:13.200 Yes.

00:57:14.220 All right.

00:57:16.100 We are at an hour.

00:57:17.320 Let's put a bookmark in it.

00:57:18.540 This has been a great discussion.

00:57:19.820 I think it's opened up a lot.

00:57:22.140 In terms of this article.

00:57:24.700 And, Ed, thank you.

00:57:27.440 And I will talk to you soon, my man.

00:57:29.760 Thank you.

00:57:30.460 Bye-bye.

00:57:32.220 All right.

00:57:32.460 We'll be right back.

00:58:02.460 We'll be right back.

00:58:32.460 We'll be right back.

00:59:02.460 We'll be right back.

00:59:32.460 We'll be right back.
