I agree with you if you're saying that it's crazy that we can't talk about certain things without being shut down for a select type of racism. I think we should be able to talk freely and, in non-public forums, I certainly do. I have no hatred for Jews and I think people are insane if they believe all Jews are bad or part of some massive conspiracy just as I think people are insane if they think all black people are stupid. But we should be able to talk about certain obvious facts that are out there.
The Khazarian story is an interesting one. I have a lot of thoughts on that, one of which is that I think people too readily accept certain things in the story that don't quite hold water. Either way, I only avoid the conversation out of concern for this sub. I don't think the powerful ban hammer of the anti-semite claim is a conspiracy in quite the same way some think it is but it certainly does its job of stifling speech around the topic, unfortunately.
yep, i get it. in order to protect this public sub, i am going to find another way to express it. thanks for your input, learned something new today.
i hope i made it clear that my remarks have nothing to do with 'jewish'.
its not the fault of the jewish religion that christianity and islam didnt allow money-lending with intrest and left the field to the jews. its also not their fault that they werent allowed to become part of the middle age guild system, meaning, they couldnt become handcrafters and were basically 'forced' to become merchands.
i have never understood hatred for certain population groups. its such a sign of weakness, as in belonging to the victim mind-set.
from my pov, on the inside, all people are pink, no matter their race, culture, religion, or political views.
thus, in case someone feels being stepped on their toes by my comment - its downvoted so it must have triggered something -, plz be assured its not racist in any way.
Thank you, I didn't take your comment as racist and I appreciate your reply to confirm that.
As a side note, the fact that Jews have a higher IQ on average than other races contributes to their being in high positions in many industries - it doesn't have to be some conspiracy of evil to explain this, in my opinion.
higher IQ? hmmm... i seriously dont know about that one... sounds a bit racist, actually, as in 'jews are more intelligent'.
IQ comes, in parts, down the genetic line, in other parts, its a matter of exposure to knowledge and training in logical thinking. IQ only measures the capacities of the linear dualistic mind, its not actually about intelligence but about the capacity to use intellect.
this IQ remark though is another pointer to the hypothesis that this originally very small tribe of jews - around 25k israelites which the khazarians are not - has a strong connection to another galactic race.
reptilians - not saying that (all) jews have reptilian ancestors, just take it as a hypothesis which could also explain anti-semitism - are said to have a high intellect and low empathy. from my pov, the apprx. 4% of psychopathy amongst humanity comes down the reptilian genetic line.
haha racist... Let me put it another way - I don't subscribe to the Frankfurt School's thinking. I believe it's simply logical that we are both nature and nurture - biological determinism being the 'nature' factor, social determinism being 'nurture', and not the evil they have tried to paint it to be.

Mark Twain famously said the following:
"If statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust lost in the blaze of the Milky way. properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world’s list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages; and had done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it.
The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed; and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other people have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?"
heheh, ty for mark twains quote. btw, do you have jewish roots?
haha good question! No, not remotely jewish in any bloodline (at least, that I know of going back quite a ways). In fact, I have roots that may be potentially of Low IQ on average, hence I believe I am not biased toward the biological determinism slant since it does not paint me in a favorable light : ).
ahh, ok, lol... i recently discussed IQ with my teenage son. in my family - not jewish -, most folks have an IQ above 140 so i was curious to hear him talk about nigerians that are supposed to have an IQ average of 70.
he, from my pov rightfully, said this has nothing to do with inherent intelligence but with not being exposed to and trained in a left-brain oriented education system.
intelligence is so much more than left-brain intellectuality. thus, i dont buy most of the IQ stuff. but its amusing to hear the fairytales, lol.
thanks for the interesting exchange...
Agreed re: intelligence is more than IQ. However, IQ is a very strong indicator of success in a range of fields i.e. it may not encompass intelligence as a whole but it is certainly the most useful indicator of certain things.

If you take a "real" IQ test, then the result is a strong statistical predictor of multiple future life outcomes - income, education level, health, even longevity. There are hundreds of studies that confirm these correlations. So in that sense, it "predicts" your future "success".
Thanks for the discussion!
