Why are Jews so prevalent in mathematics and science are they really just naturally better at it?
An old rabbi told me that for most of Christianity, the smartest men became priests and therefore weren't able to marry or have kids. In contrast, the smartest Jewish men were encouraged to become Rabbis, marry and have lots of children. When you think about it, it kind of makes sense.
Major: cultural and religious pressuresMinor: forced occupational pressures Ashkenazim are noticeably more brilliant than their Sephardim brethren. There is something to the European Jew that we are missing.
>>17054833Priesthood was a dumping ground for a lot of unusual characters. Have an autistic ability to add two numbers in your head? You're a monk now. Have an autistic ability to determine the length of anything? You're a monk now. Judaism is a lot more... how you say "accepting" of the eccentric gifted.
>>17054833>In contrast, the smartest Jewish men were encouraged to become Rabbis, marry and have lots of children.Uh huh. Except their idea of "smart" is best captured by the concept of pilpul, which you were subjected to and fell for, hook line and sinker.
>>17054825Jewish culture highly values education.

>>17054825The average IQ of Whites is 100.The average IQ of Asians is 105.The average IQ of Africans is 85. This trend is consistent everywhere in life.
>>17054880>The average IQ of Whites is 100.Americans aren't white.
>>17054882None of them? For example, I have no ancestry from outside Europe that I know of, and the majority from Ireland and Britain.
>>17054884>NAXALT fallacyThe average whiteness quotient of "white" Americans is sub-European.
why is academia now full of endless fraud?
>>17054888Americans with even one black or Native American grandparent tend to identify with that to at least some extent.
Charles Murray said it. They come from a culture of the learned. They are God’s Chosen.
>>17054901their culture was brothels, loan sharking and rags?
>>17054825>all the applicable science was developed by non-jews>all the retarded magic mumbojumbo like pure mathematics and dark matter rick and morty was made by jewsThere's a reason why scientific progress isn't going anywhere
>>17055059Relativity?
>>17055060Einstein gets an honorary pass because his views were bounded in reality and are directly observable instead of just being 80 pages of equations + he didn't like jews or israel
>>17054869you can seethe about it all you want but even the most virulent antisemites admit that it's been a successful strategyjews running banking and finance and real estate and music and film and...you're just mad that your ancestors had no shared identity and wasted their lives and left nothing behind for their offspring
Reminder that the nazis didn't manage to build a nuke because they kicked out all the jewish scientists
>>17054833serves them right, christianity is grecoroman gnostic nonsense
>>17054878real education is Torah, not that nonsense you call science

>>17054825There is nothing wrong with math as asuch, but it's 1. low abstraction level. The common life problems require far higher abstraction than math. and 2. It's a horrible waste of brainpower. Using the brainpower for having a happy life is far more rational than doing some ppintless math that may or may not have some use sometime. Doing math means you have no priorities. Consider Gödel, who was effectively a retard who was taken care for by his wise in all practical aspects of life. The highest level of abstraction achieved, I believe, may be actually aboriginal "dreaming". I believe it may have been a form of compressed sensing, and they found a way to do it in their heads, and obtain knowledge that was seemingly out of reach.

>>17055060that wasn't even his idea he just gets credit for it
>>17054825not wasting seed and not looking at women directly except their wiveshttps://youtu.be/rTa_xckWJeg
>>17055129>There is nothing wrong with math as asuch, but it's 1. low abstraction level. The common life problems require far higher abstraction than math.You're not even trolling, are you? nu-/soi/ is 95% brown and doesn't understand what basic words like 'abstraction' mean.
>>17055115jews lived in ghettos and ran ghetto trades they were prostitutes that's probably why they became matrilineal.you can read about jewish temples where the priests would do all sorts of depraved acts
>>17055152>abstraction/əbˈstrakʃn/Abstraction is the process of simplifying complex ideas or systems by focusing on essential features and ignoring irrelevant details
>>17055168>this brownoid is too retarded to even use a dictionary properlyHoly kek.
>>17054901>>17055115Gods don't exist. Jews have a plethora of serious genetic issues due to millennia of inbreeding and most are schizophrenic
>>17054825>there is no mathematics anymoreyeah... somehow germans are still number one at engineering and the schools there (math and physics included) are better than those in israel by a long shotalso,>r*dd*tpls leave
>>17054825>Why are Jews so prevalent at Harvard Law School are they really just naturally better at law?
>>17055573>are they really just naturally better at law?I don't know about "naturally" but if they're religious a good deal of their lifestyle revolves around trying to find loopholes in their holy book so they could fool YHWH and do the things he's telling them not to do in roundabout ways. I don't know about muh highly valued education but it sure is a lawyer-minded culture.
>>17055060>Isaac Newton has entered the chat
>>17055589I never denied that plenty of perfectly good science was developed by Gentiles? I'm just disputing the premise that only Gentiles have developed useful science. (And before you ask, I have no Jewish ancestry that I know of.)
>>17055143I'm aware he was elaborating on previous thinkers, but so far as I know the specific mathematical understanding we have comes from him.
