Sometimes on X, as in real life, a discussion arises about Ashkenazi Jewish IQ. Such discussions usually involve claims (such as the one made by Grok above) that Ashkenazi Jewish IQ is superior to that of whites, which explains their observed over-representation in positions of power such as academia and politics. These claims are hotly disputed. As a psychological scientist, I thought I’d investigate, so that you don’t have to.The 2005 Cochran paper referenced by Grok can be found here. In the section titled ‘The Psychometric Evidence about Ashkenazi IQ’, it states: “Ashkenazi Jews have the highest average IQ of any ethnic group for which there are reliable data. They score 0.75 to 1.0 standard deviations above the general European average, corresponding to an IQ [of] 112-115. This has been seen in many studies (Backman, 1972; Levinson, 1959; Romanoff, 1976).”However, these claims, as well as the other claims from this section, cannot be verified.Backman’s study can be found here. The most important table from it is reproduced below.
>>16776244ashkenazi jews are not 2% of the populationif wikipedia is accurate then they are .14% of the population (11.2mil/~8billion)
>>16777730oh shit you were saying .2%still I ran the numbers and if europeans(ie white) are 900million then there should still be more over 145
>>16767697gotta give it to themsocial cohension and ingroup bias is a much better strategy than exploiting your neighbors, rugged individulaism, and suicidal empathy
>>16776244The equation you wrote says 0.2 for 20% jews, but then the numbers you give must be using 0.02 for 2% jews. I guess this is accurate for america.>>16777730>>16777731It probably is best to confine attention to america since jews are not in any direct competition with 60iqs in somalia for e.g.

I hate it, it's too "dry", too "mathematical", he barely explains anything intuitively or didactically. He just throws definitions and theorems at you and calls it a day. It's the Rudin of Differential Geometry.
>>16773167Hmm, you've given me something to think about. Maybe I'll get around to studying complex manifolds specifically. Do you think it's worth it to study Algebraic geometry/topology first? My algebra background is nowhere near as strong as my analysis background.

>>16773157I have no formal math education beyond a basic calculus sequence, some linear dynamical systems, a master's level complex course and two master's level real analysis courses. I study this stuff because I find it interesting and every once in a while it comes in handy to solve an engineering problem relevant to me (e.g., just recently submitted a smooth manifolds based signal processing paper to a journal, finger's crossed on the review process going smoothly). Thank you for the recommendations. I'll try to find some of the books you're talking about.

He was the guy who created the Price equation for altruism. His work was built on William Hamilton's theories about genetics controlling human decision making. From what I understand, animals (including human beings) who 'selflessly' help each other, are in fact behaving selfishly, as their sacrifice for the sake of other individuals helps in furthering their own genes. In animals, this helps explain behaviour like sacrificing for herd members that are genetically related. Thus, genetically similar individuals may live on and reproduce. In human beings social factors interact with genetics. Human beings will help out and sacrifice for people that they know over strangers, because that act is beneficial for at least one of them or maybe even both in the long run. I think in humans the social aspect trumps the genetic one. Our society is built on give and take, social structures are comprised of groups of people with different genetic backgrounds working together. Therefore the Price equation in humans would imply that humans would behave altruistically for people they know well rather than strangers. This would explain in-group preferences and implies that behaving altruistically towards strangers is a bad strategy, genetically.Price was so disturbed by the implications of his theory (true selflessness doesn't exist) that he spent the rest of his life selflessly giving away his possessions to random people in London, in an attempt to prove himself wrong. He started off by giving his clothes, watches, furniture, money to homeless hobos. Then he invited homeless hobos that he never knew to live in his house. He began doing charity work such as cleaning the streets and whatnot. His objective was to prove that behaving altruistically with strangers is truly selfless and a good strategy genetically. Eventually, he himself ended up homeless because the hobos he invited kicked him out of his own house. His health declined considerably and eventually he committed suicide.

A real life Mary's room happened in mathematics in the 1980's when the availability of high speed computers allowed complex fractal structures which had previously been studied entirely through non-visual abstract calculations to be visualized readily and immediately. So, did the most knowledgable experts learn something new? In particular, did the experts on Julia sets suddenly have a "wow" when they saw Julia sets for the first time?To some extent, the answer is yes. The computer calculations revealed some new things. But in regards to this thought experiment, that would be like Mary having incomplete knowledge about red. The more surprising result is to what an extent the answer was no. The computer calculations in their gross features mostly reflected visualizations that were already present in the heads of the experts. When they saw the pictures, they would say, "oh yes, that's about right. That's what I thought it would look like".The greatest impact was on mathematicians that didn't have the visualization in their heads already. One person said that he heard a talk by Julia about these things, but couldn't understand what he was on about until he saw the first pictures. Similar comments can be made regarding simulations of other complex mathematical structures. The Mary's room business is actually a commonplace thing in mathematics.

They had bad grades in school, are unhygienic and yet have so much knowledge it's almost alien to the observer. For example, I know how UFOs work, know how to hack NSA, know how to build an untraceable smartphone, can tie science with scripture, know a lot about theology and the Bible (I believe in Eclectic Gnosticism + Hermeticism + Kabbalah - Lurianic/Zoharic), quantum physics is painfully simple for me to understand (I understand it like 2+2=4) – something most ACCREDITED physicists are struggling at, and my conclusions, discoveries and understanding of physics is aeons ahead of material science (because I'm of the Tesla/Nazi line of physics, in that I believe fields are fundamental - not matter). I study psychoneuroimmunology and how the placebo effect, and have developed custom cosmological models to rival Einstein. But yet I have no teeth, rarely bathe, don't clean my room, and I'm constantly caught up in deep philosophical/ontological thought. I hace schizoaffective disorder (manic type), clinical depression, ADHD, anxiety disorder, autism, schizotypal PD, avoidant PD and paranoid PD - I'm constantly having racing thoughts and my brain can think a mile a minute. Isn't it weird how this works?

>>16775989>The mathematical community rarely changes established terminology though because it's run by arrogant insufferable retards.eh, i think it gives mathematics a "lived in" kind of feel, if i wanted a pristine & sterile system i'd go read about some constructed language
>>16776081The current terminology 'countable' reinforces the misconception that infinity is just a "really big number" rather than a fundamentally different mathematical concept. "Indexable" vs "non-indexable" would better convey that we're talking about structural properties of sets and their relationships to the natural numbers.
