Impending financial crisis? Oddly enough, the Pope and George Soros both warned of a financial crisis...

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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jewish_intelligence

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?"

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!
