Look at the diets, marriage practices, breeding programs as laid out in
the old testament - it is practically a UBER man scientists manual.

Jerry Sienfeld is a smart funny guy - 3000 years of selective breeding as
based on old testament doctrine has yielded great fruit.

You don't have too be aware of your higher collective IQ for it to be a
reality.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_intelligence#IQ_Gap_Among_Races

The mean score for people of East Asian and Jewish descent is usually
higher than the mean score of whites, but the extent of that difference
is not precisely known. However, most studies place the median IQ of
Ashkenazi Jews (who make up the overwhelming majority of American Jews)
at approximately one standard deviation above the mean for other whites.
Note that in a normal distribution, only about 16% of the population is
at least one standard deviation above the mean.

Not literally, but in competition for resources the smartest often rise
to the top.

Take the garden of eden - assume 2 people with much less genetic
breakdown than we have now among most people - adam lived to be what 900
years - so assume genetically he was much superior to most people today -
start interbreeding them with thier children - from what I am reading you
can do this for a long time before you really start having problems.

Assume down into the population many generations - you start controlling
diet and futher breeding - you know a wolf, lassie, and the taco bell
chihuahua are practically identical genetically. Assume 3000 years of
selective breeding - average human generation 30 years - 100 generations
of descendants - maybe someone more well read in this area can chime in -
but 100 generations down with good diet, good breeding policies - what
kind of difference can you expect?

You take an 87 IQ individual and breed them with a 56 IQ individual - go
out 5 generations - what have you got? Take a 140 Iq jew with a 130 Iq
jew what have you got? Jewish America seems to be the smartest race in
the world - collectively as a nation Hong Kong seems to have the highest
average IQ at 107 - and we gave them back to china - what a smart move -
giving a world trade center and the smartest businessmen in the world to
a communist regime - this could have serious consequences soon - pray for
taiwan.

Hollywood is the birthplace of many good ideas - I read a lot of jews
rules or ruled there. Be proud of your heritage.

Today on the race track is it the purebred horse or purebred greyhound

I don't want to kill you, but when the barbarians of rome saw all that
wealth they wanted to take it, and perhaps with your collective IQ - it
doesnt have to be a big difference - your race begins to take over the
businesses, arts, governments - and the nazi's see this and like atilla
the hun want your wealth that your higher IQ provided you and take it by
force. It is not your ethnic or cultural history that makes the
barbarians jealous - it is your intelligence and the fruits that deliver
you - you can't help it that you rise to the top - it is in your genes.

You control hollywood because you are smarter. You are the product of
one of the best long running genetics programs ever to exist.

You should have some great resources to verify any of this or disqualify
it then.

Well debate enlightens both of us, and together we can increase each

Possibly true, but put the taco bell chihuahua on a race track and a
greyhound on a racetrack and who wins the race and gets to eat the bunny?
Genetically they evolved from the same parents and I believe those
parents only go back 100 or 150 years maybe I am wrong. The differences
don't have to be that wide on a complex societal scale. If your people
are 101 IQ and mine are 99 IQ collectively - over time your people are
naturally going to ascend into positions of control, riches, and power.

We are all good and happy though, everyone is helping everyone else - but
mexico boy comes in, he has an 80 IQ, guinea boy comes in he has a 56 IQ,
me and you and slant eye have 100, 104, and 107 IQ. Try as hard as he
might mexico boy and guinea boy can't ever seem to get ahead - they are
working thier little brains so HARD and they just aren't catching up to
me and you and slant eye. We seem to breeze through school, make good
movies, rise in business - and all they can seem to figure out is how
come thier name tag always say janitor - but they have one advantage -
they havent gotten so smart yet that they don't want to have lots of low
IQ babies - so me and you and your jewish chick friends dont want to give
up our good lifestyles by having kids and being slaves to thier
upbringing but mexico and guinea have lots of babies - and they are
pissed off, because no matter what they do they cant seem to make
starwars or kosher hot dogs and we can effortlessly - the barbarians use
thier swollen number to burn our ivory towers.

Look its simple economics - the greater the disparity between the rich
and poor - the more potential for burning ivory towers - the greater
disparity for dumb and smart - same thing.

> tend to make ourselves crazy and violent when we start
> to believe otherwise.

I don't consider myself crazy or violent or you either - I like sienfeld,
he makes me laugh, and I am sure in 1920's germany the germans were
probably great friends with thier jewish nieghbors - but if severe
turmoil strikes - what do the barbarians and low IQ thugs usually do?
topple the ivory towers no? Go after the ones with more than they have
got - thier brothers of just yesterday they view as thier enslavers of
today - God cursed you as a test of your faith I guess - putting a smart
woody allen in the middle of a bunch of hungry gorillas and there is only
1 banana in the cage - who wins? I think woody said in one of his movies
- had he grown up in an indian village and been a comedian that wouldn't
have done much for his life - he would have starved from lack of being a
good buffalo hunter - but he came up in a society that values smarts over
strong legs and agressive tendancies so he rose to the top - and look how
we want to knock him down just cause he wants to get some young split
tail. The barbarians are growing.

Very true, anthropology seems to be lost on many economists - damn shame
too as it is the very study of history of previous economic success or
failure.

You don't have to go that far back

There are many potential environmental influences that help to shape
personality. Child rearing practices are especially critical. In North
America, children are usually raised in ways that encourage them to
become self-reliant and independent. Children are often allowed to act
somewhat like equals to their parents. For instance, they are included
in making decisions about what type of food and entertainment the family
will have on a night out. Children are given allowances and small jobs
around the house to teach them how to be responsible for themselves. In
contrast, children in China are usually encouraged to think and act as a
member of their family and to suppress there own wishes when they are in
conflict with the needs of the family. Independence and self-reliance
are viewed as an indication of family failure and are discouraged. It is
not surprising that traditionally Chinese children have not been allowed
to act as equals to their parents.

To me this says china is a unified people of self sacrifice. Now in that
cage we have me and you and woody allen in one corner, mexico boys in
another, gorilla boys in another, and 1.1 billion unified chinese all
fighting for that banana - who wins? If china were democratic, I might
not be so worried, but our liberal policies are going to collapse when up
against state sponsored chinese monopolies.

Benedict compared the typical personalities of the 19th century North
American Plains Indians with those of the farming Pueblo Indians of the
American Southwest. She said that the buffalo hunting Plains Indians
had personalities that could be typified as being aggressive, prone to
violence, and seeking extreme emotional states. In contrast, she said
that the typical Pueblo Indian was just the opposite--non-aggressive,
peaceful, and sober in personality.

Depends on how safe and secure they feel. I lived in Hawaii in 1983 or
so - Hurrican Iwa came through the islands - we were on a military base -
rich officers and e8 and e9 enlisted men in my small housing area - very
ordered and disciplined men - good honest god fearing soldiers - well
hurricane iwa knocked out power, there was no clean water - we were not
connected to the mainland so all the reserves were gone in a few days, I
saw secure educated disciplined men almost break down to the point of
killing thier neighbor over water and perceived early death - luckily
before too many people were violently bashing each others brains in they
got some water and food into the housing areas - a few people went to the
hospital for a very long time from the small outbreaks of violence over
resources - i don't recall if anyone was killed.

LA riots another larger example with less disciplined citizens - if
people are full of hate or fear - things go to *** fast. Does mexico
boy go to his neighbor mexico boys house and start robbing and burning or
does he come to your ivory tower and rape that jewish girlfriend you got
and steal that fine kosher hotdog you made?

In a controlled complex society over time, the slightly higher IQ
individuals will rise to the top and then when the barbaric thugs get mad
or fearful enough - the ivory towers are knocked down and burned.

I am on your side Jew, I like the movies you make for me and appreciate
you using those smarts to make me laugh - laughing is good, but the
barbarians are at the gate and we are welcoming them with open arms, and
being thier is such a disparity between mine and your intelligence and
thiers - that usually only ends one way - when thier numbers get big
enough - violence.

It is not a racial issue affecting this country - it is one of
commonality.

Blackie is going to buy a 200 nike shoe instead of a book by hobbes
because his brain is not genetically evolved enough like yours. The
great social experiment of desegregation failed - it could have worked if
they got us interbreeding immediately and average out the IQ's - they
didn't and now laws of scarcity and mother nature will fix their lack of
foresight in a brutal way.
