I agree about Jewish IQ and have written extensively about it. But that can't explain the phenomena reviewed in The Culture of Critique (e.g. ethnic networking) and relative lack of involvement of Jewish intellectuals in populism, paleoconseravism. See https://www.researchgate.net/publication/324612032_SECOND_REPLY_TO_NATHAN_COFNAS_REVISION_OF_APRIL_19_2018 …

Jewish IQ can't even explain Jewish overrepresentation at elite universities. http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2012/12/13/ron-unz-on-the-illusory-american-meritocracy/ … http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2010/07/16/kevin-macdonald-jewish-overrepresentation-at-elite-universities-explained/ … Nor can it explain the adversarial stance of the main Jewish intellectual movements compared, say, to the Overseas Chinese, another high-IQ group.

Absolutely breathtaking that Jews are allowed to use group differences in I.Q. to defend their overrepresentation in elite jobs while Whites are called "racist pseudoscientists" if they do the same. Just how long do you think this bizarro world will last?

This is The Nub. A few people have tentatively raised this but as far as I can see no one with Stephen's well earned status. Still the talk is of "White Privilege", never "Jewish privilege", and White's preserve a "supremacist culture", but not Jews. It is literally absurd.

I discuss the same hypothesis in my review of The 10,000 Year Explosion, which stresses the importance of racial differences and argues for the average superior intelligence of Ashkenazi Jewshttps://paulclark42.wordpress.com/paulclark42-comments-and-reviews/review-of-the-10000-year-explosion/ …

There seems to be more to the puzzle than what is written here. Asians have high IQs but, don’t dominate intellectual circles or business to the same degree and ethnic Armenians are over-represented in Hess same areas relative to population and IQ testing

“Hess?” How does apple get that out of ‘the?’ Ugh

Asians are also said to have a slightly higher average IQ and are a very small percentage of the US population, like Jews. Why haven’t they taken over the media, Hollywood, banking, foreign policy and academia? Why aren’t they undermining their host nation?
-
Different types of IQ. Verbal IQ is what helps you excel in academia and broadcasting. Asians arent particularly gifted in that area.

@charlesmurray@Steve_Sailer Jews are still over-represented even if you take IQ into consideration -
IQ + connections.

The Jewish people since forever have put a higher premium on learning than outdoor pursuits - like jousting(!) in olden days, rugby, football today. Their over-representation in professions and not sports relates to this gentle parental nudging from birth IMO

Clearly IQ alone, even if higher on average, cannot account for such overrepresentation. Surely the explanation leans more towards culture. Dealing with something like the protestant work ethic in steroids!

I've said that before--besides genetic factors, there must be cultural factors so that a genetic group, let's say, with a genetic predisposition for high IQ can have a culture which smothers that potential & w/o that predisposition can be nurtured in a culture which...

leads given individuals to reach beyond their potential, possibly raising the average IQ of the group over time... Just my intuitive ramblings, I suppose...

Your intuitive ramblings mirror exactly my own.
