Peace n Safety (12-01-2020)
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
- -- Aristotle

Shhhh, our President-Elect is speaking.
It's really sad you cannot understand what I've written about.
My entire point is that most of what people are is learned; it's cultural. You keep claiming it's all genetic except, as in your post above, it means a group of people are genetically smarter than you are. The fact you do not see or understand this point is something you should consider reviewing for your own edification.

It would be hard to explain why Ashkenazi Jews had higher affluence before arriving to the USA in countries like Germany, Hungary, Austria, Poland & Russia.
Out of all those countries Jews were actually less ahead of Poles than versus the others.
Jews, East Asians & Finns do have higher rates of genes for education attainment.
Although East Asians & Finns have also larger brain sizes. Jews actually have smaller brain sizes.
