<<Mahathir Mohammed says Jews rule the world by proxy but Muslims can defeat them through the use of brains and brawn. What do you think?>> jang.com.pk <<Intelligence levels of groups of people follow the laws of evolution and do not change rapidly. Significant change might occur over time spans measured in thousand or tens of thousands of years. However, in extraordinary circumstances evolution is dramatically accelerated by violent societal upheavals, resulting in the survival and subsequent propagation of those members of a population group who are best equipped to survive. Societal variations of IQs are, like all other permanent changes in human nature and basic behavior, solely attributable to the process of evolution. It is illuminating to consider the two opposites of American societal IQ levels: African American Negroes as opposed to American Jewish society. Aside from environmentally unbiased IQ measurements, it is obvious that both groups have sorted themselves out into different occupational structures: Black Americans are predominantly found in occupations which require little intellectual acuity but a high level of physical prowess, such as manual labor or sports activities. The opposite holds true of the Jews who predominate in intellectual and artistic pursuits, which require a considerably higher level of intelligence than physical activities. It therefore does not come as a surprise that IQ levels for both groups as a whole are drastically divergent: The IQ level of American urban Blacks is in the 80-85 range whereas Jews consistently score in the 115-120 range. Since I.Q.s. do not exist in a vacuum but are broad predictors of financial success in life, the income levels of Blacks and Jews are similarly representative of their different intellectual capacity. Earnings of Jews are almost twice as high as the earnings of Blacks and are slightly ahead of the Japanese. It is not the dumb people who run this world; it is the smart people who run this world. Is not the dumb people who have the highest standard of living, it is the smart people, the people with the higher I.Q., who are affluent. Who can argue with this self-evident fact? The explanation for this discrepancy in IQ levels becomes obvious when we refer to the source of all innate human faculties: The evolution of man over a million years, resulting in a variety of inborn traits reflecting survival characteristics demanded by different environments. Negroes developed in a benign tropical environment where sustenance was readily provided by nature and without substantial competitive pressures for natural resources. The lack of a need for higher intellectual accomplishments did not encourage the elimination of the intellectually disadvantaged from their society. After Negroes had been transferred as slaves to North America, slave owners further discouraged intellectual activities by slaves and placed higher value on the physical prowess of slaves. Black slaves bred and were bred for brawns rather than for brains because manual field labor provided no requirement or evolutional necessity for high levels of intelligence. The reverse situation prevailed with regard to Jews. Their religious beliefs and shrewdness set them apart from most other population groups with whom they interacted. This separateness frequently placed them into the position of scapegoats and consequentially subjected them to pogroms. They were forced to live by their wits, not by their brawns. The harsh atmosphere of such persecutions favored and honed their intellectual ability to survive these constant onslaughts of malevolence and violence. After thousands of years of pogroms, the weaker and less adroit elements of Jewish societies gradually diminished in numbers. The remaining Jewish population groups attained a higher standard of living due to the constant rise in IQ levels required by their need to survive by their wits. This evolutionary process was the result of the survival of the more intelligent Jews, and was greatly accelerated by the extermination of Jews during World War II: Jews of innately higher intelligence, like Einstein and many of his professional colleagues, had a better chance of survival than intellectually less endowed Jews. This view must be statistical in nature. It does not imply that only bright Jews survived and that only dumb Jews perished: When faced with disaster which is largely beyond one’s personal control or anticipation, even the best and the brightest can perish where a less intellectually capable person may survive. In any analysis of evolutionary characteristics, the emphasis must be placed on statistical and average results, rather than on individual abilities. In this statistical arena, results speak for themselves: The Jews have become a super-race. Evolution has no moral connotations. It does not concern itself with the sufferings of individuals or even vast numbers of people. Evolution is the prerequisite of all life and follows only one path: The survival and the perpetuation of the fittest. rationality.net >>
