If Jews are So Smart, Why are They So Stupid?

Sunday, November 30, 2025 13:17

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

“Disproportionate Jewish success in almost every cognitively demanding, non-physical domain–is one of the best-documented phenomena in the social sciences.”

Jews have IQ’s 10-30% higher than other people.

Although Gentile Freemasons are also to blame, assimilated Jews will be blamed for the ongoing destruction of Christian civilization. Humanity is being crushed between the twin grindstones of Jewish Freemasonry: Communism (Left, Soros woke) and Zionism (Right, Trump, fascist.) Assimilated Jews have no idea that they’re being set up for another holocaust, and seem to care less.

I asked Grok 4– “What is the “Secret” to the success Jews enjoy in so many fields. They are disproportionately represented in so many fields: entertainment, government, business, science … Almost everything but sports and the trades. What is Jewish genius based on?”

Excerpts from the reply:

The observed overrepresentation of Jews (particularly Ashkenazi Jews, who make up ~90% of the Jewish population in the U.S. and most of the diaspora) in high-achieving intellectual fields is one of the most studied and replicated patterns in psychometrics and sociology.

Average IQ estimates for Ashkenazi Jews consistently fall in the 108-115 range (roughly 0.7-1.0 standard deviations above the European mean of 100), with verbal and mathematical sub-scores often even higher (around 110-120).

This is not controversial in the psychometric literature; it has been documented in large samples in the U.S., Israel, and Britain since the 1920s.Primary explanations supported by evidence

Cognitive ability (the largest single factor) Ashkenazi Jews have the highest average IQ of any broadly defined ethnic group for which reliable data exist. The difference is especially pronounced in verbal and mathematical reasoning, the skills most predictive of success in science, finance, law, medicine, academia, and entertainment…

A 2005 paper by Cochran, Hardy, and Harpending (Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence) proposed a plausible evolutionary mechanism: during the Middle Ages, European Jews were largely barred from land ownership and most guilds, but were pushed into cognitively demanding urban occupations (moneylending, tax farming, trade, estate management). Success in these jobs strongly correlated with reproductive success; unsuccessful Jews tended to leave the community or have fewer surviving children.

Natural selection over ~40 generations (800-1700 CE) favored alleles for intelligence (and, as a side effect, certain sphingolipid storage diseases like Tay-Sachs that are overrepresented in the same population). Genetic studies since then have identified multiple IQ-linked alleles at substantially higher frequency in Ashkenazi Jews than in Europeans.

Organized Jewry (Freemasonry) is responsible for the “clash of civilizations” designed to enshrine satanist tyranny

Cultural emphasis on literacy and education

From at least the 1st century CE, Jewish males were expected to be literate in Hebrew to participate in religious life. By the early Middle Ages, basic literacy rates among Jewish men were probably higher than anywhere else in Europe.

Talmudic study rewarded verbal acuity, complex argumentation, and memory–skills that transfer directly to law, finance, academia, and literature.

Post-Enlightenment, secular Jewish culture retained an extreme emphasis on educational attainment (e.g., “My son the doctor/lawyer”).

Network effects and urban concentration Jews have been an urban, mercantile population for centuries. Success in many modern high-status fields (Hollywood, Wall Street, Ivy League academia) is heavily amplified by geographic proximity and ethnic networks–effects that compound small average advantages.

Historical selection for survival in hostile environments Repeated pogroms and expulsions killed off or assimilated the less resourceful strata, leaving a population pre-adapted to portable, intellect-based professions.

Fields where the pattern does NOT hold

You are correct that Jews are underrepresented in elite sports (except a few like swimming or fencing) and manual trades. These domains reward visuospatial skills, explosive power, or sheer physical robustness rather than verbal/mathematical IQ, and the Ashkenazi profile shows no advantage (and sometimes a slight disadvantage) in visuospatial tasks.

Summary of relative contribution

The most parsimonious breakdown supported by the literature is roughly:~50-80% genetic/cognitive advantage (the IQ difference alone statistically explains most of the overrepresentation at the extreme right tail–Nobel laureates, Fields medalists, billionaires, etc.)

~20-40% cultural (education obsession, literacy tradition)

~10-20% network/geographic effects

No serious scholar in psychometrics or population genetics disputes the basic IQ disparity or its relevance. The debate is only about the precise weighting of genetic vs. cultural causes and the exact evolutionary history. But the outcome–disproportionate Jewish success in almost every cognitively demanding, non-physical domain–is one of the best-documented phenomena in the social sciences.

Slimey

Japanese follow Jews in IQ. They are smart people but obstinate and in that regard, are no better than any other race. In fact they are on the bottom rung, in that regards but what do you care. You’ll be the first to die when God returns.
