Jewish high IQ - 20 reasons why

[Smeagol]

Regardless, Israel is much more developed than many western countries including the US btw.

It's more developed than many European countries, but not the US.

I think Lynn found that Sephardim had the North European average and that Mizrachim had higher IQ than Middle Eastern goyim. I'll have to look it up, but they're far from stupid. Also, Ashkenazim are about 40% of the Jewish population of Israel - that's plenty for the innovation (not that some of them aren't Sephardim and Mizrachi as well).

I think I read Sephardic average IQ was like 98 or something.

Not at all. The US is no doubt more developed in terms of military equipment and etc than Israel, but when it comes to quality of life for it's citizens, it beats America by far. In fact, being an average American citizen these days isn't what it used to be back in the 20th century when the economy and quality of life were good.

The UN ranks us higher than Israel. I have no reason to doubt them.

I thought you guys hated the UN.

That's not relevant to a list like this. The US is simply objectively more developed.

There was a study like that. However, in that study, everyone got less than they normally score (Ashkenazim at 110 and North Europeans at 100). 98 vs 100 doesn't really disprove my claim.

Aside from what Toppo pointed out (you aren't being consistent), this isn't the relevant metric. Look at metrics for scientific and technological output.

Which is what I told him. Just because a country is very developed in certain areas that doesn't make it a good place to live for normies like us. The healthcare and education systems in the US are considered to be the worst in the developed world while Israel is on top on these things. Trump recently authorized the military budget up to 2 trillion dollars while the average American citizen eats shit.

I mentioned scientific output as a better proxy for IQ. I didn't address living conditions.
