It’s cute that you think jews are cognitively superior when jew is not even a proper ethnicity with shared DNA.
It’s like you think that believing in your god makes you more intelligent than people who don’t believe in god or who believe in other gods LOL
Because israel received and still receives a sh1t ton of money in foreign aid.
Israel received over $300B (adjusted for inflation) from the US only. That’s a lot of money for a tiny country with less than 10M people.
No, it was not all for military aid. Until 2007, a significant part was economic aid.
But even if it was all military aid, every dollar not spent on military can be spent on something else, like… guess what?
Education!
What happens when you provide free education to your people?
You get more Nobel Prizes!
But what’s more, it’s almost like there is a direct correlation between a country’s education budget and the number of Nobel Prizes it received.
Who would have guessed?
Want to make the calculations? No need, I did them. And yes, I only used non-peace-related Nobel Prizes won after 1948.
Turns out Israel is in the ballpark of Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Germany, UK, ... Switzerland is an outlier and destroys everyone else.
Pretty simple:
1. Get $300B from the US
2. Get €80B from Germany
3. ???
4. Profit

There you go again with the strawman argument.
I did not say jews are cognitively superior, I said:
IQ tests are a narrow measurement of intelligence but a historically accurate predictor of success within a competence hierarchy and generally speaking, the west operates as a competence hierarchy.
Let me dumb it down for you, scoring higher on an IQ test, generally speaking shows superior cognitive abilities within the area measured by the IQ tests. Which I stated in the very first line of my post is " a narrow measurement of intelligence". However, the result of the test itself is a historically accurate predictor of success within a competence hierarchy. Meaning that that those particular abilities lead to success in areas jew have historically been successful in.
You took that, and decided to make a strawman argument with a distorted claim that was never made.

Next, your DNA claim is wrong and you lost the plot again. This started with my response to MrDeap insinuating the jews aren't good for anything but murder and a variety of other bad activities. I responded with a video of Jordan Peterson discussing elevated IQ among ashkenazi jews being one of the reasons for their over representation in positions of power in a competence hierarchy.
In regards to genetic connections among Jews, Ashkenazi Jews are one of the most closely related groups of people in the world in terms of genetic similarity from both autosomal and mitochondrial DNA. For example, A german ashkenazi jew is more similar to a russian ashkenazi jew than they are to other non jewish germans or russians.
Genetically speaking, a russian ashkenazi jew is more similar to a spanish sephardic jew than they are to other non jewish russians. There were genetic studies done on exactly this in 2000, 2010, 2012, 2021. that were published in the American journal of Human Genetics. The studies found that Jewish populations tend to cluster together genetically. I.E. Ashkenazi Jews (whether from Germany or elsewhere) and Sephardic Jews (from Spain or elsewhere) are genetically closer to each other than to the non-Jewish populations of the countries they reside in.
There is also a strong genetic relation between ashkenazi, sephardic and mizrahi jews. There's even genetic overlap with ethiopian jews, although much less.
Here you are again, out of your depth, triggered, making statements that you have not researched.

Although foreign aid is definitely a contributing factor (under 1% of israel's economy is foreign aid) it's more accurate to say that Israel's success in Nobel prizes and technological innovation is a result of israel's internal policies and cultural values. There are roughly 30 countries with a PPP gdp per capita better than israel's even when factoring in us aid as part of israel economy.. Per capita israel has out performed 28 of them since the 1990s and 29 of them since the 2000s.
That includes 5 arab countries who's oil money makes us aid to israel look like a drop in the bucket. Israel has almost no oil.
Israel's emphasis on education, R&D, and a culture that values innovation and intellectual achievement are the primary factors behind its success with Nobel prizes and tech innovation...
If you discount israel from the calculation the nobel prize discussion. There have been 730 Nobel prizes awarded in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine and economics. Jews have won 180 of them. That's 25%. Jew's represent only 0.1% of the global population outside of israel... Can you explain this?
And while you're at it, you never answered the self made billionaire portion of the post.
Why are jews so over represented? Magic?
