      6/ re theory #1: have never seen any data suggesting this, and have had many Jewish and non-Jewish friends and have never noticed a difference in lying / cheating re theory #2: we have hard data that shows that Ashkenazi are more intelligent than regular Europeans >>>

      7/ Being more intelligent means that you can see problems ahead of time and protect yourself from them. I'm not Jewish but I'm intelligent, and I run into this all the time. >>>

      8/ I owned a video rental company for a long time. Before I started it I researched the laws on First Sale Doctrine, consulted a lawyer, etc. I ran into the situation dozens of times where someone published a video that I purchased then rented out, creator got upset >>>

      9/ I quoted law, they declared that I was lying, cheating, or "un-Christian" (which I find surprising, because I didn't realize that Jesus had an opinion on the First Sale Doctrine either way). I was being treated like Christians treated Jews: I made a smart move, hated for it

      12/ yes There's nothing people hate so much as an obligation to pay someone back for the money that they lent. Crying "kill the Jew!" is a lot easier than being frugal and paying back a loan. https://twitter.com/unhygenicmacro/status/994672601619410944 …

      15/ Well, rights are in fact kind of arbitrary and culturally dependent (e.g. we're settled people and we consider that property is a right, but nomads wouldn't). One can imagine all sorts of IP regimes. It just happens that ours allows renting DVDs. https://twitter.com/ManlyMerchant/status/994673883063218176 …

          17/ Valid theory. This is the gypsy / traveler model. I don't think it's correct, but intellectual fairness suggests we look at it. My thought: people don't help randos they don't interact with repeatedly. You help your brother, your cousin but not...https://twitter.com/chrylis/status/994685507509551104 …

          Fourth possibility: Certain enclaves set themselves up as an ingroup with lowered expectation of loyalty toward the outgroup of the society in which they live, and in certain times and places this has applied to Jews, Roma, Rohingya, Irish, French, "migrants"…

          Replying to @MorlockP @AlexNowrasteh

          the typical anti-usury argument is precisely that less money should be lent though the variant I heard (and tentatively agree with) is that interest may not be charged on full-recourse loans; if it's limited to collateral, you're fine

          There’s also a big difference between “usury” and “interest.” #justsayin

          If the price of the money is too high, don’t borrow it.
