Grok says Ashkenazi Jews are ten percent smarter than other people. 
That and the fact the Rothschilds have finagled our national credit card, has made all the difference.

How many prominent Jews can you name? 

Are they all Freemasons? People like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen were Illuminati. But Herb Alpert and Arty Shaw? George Gershwin and Irving Berlin?  Peter Thiel. Elon Musk. Sam Altman, Bill Gates, Bernie Madoff, Larry Ellison, Steven Spielberg, Surgei Brin, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerborg, Alex Karp, Barack Obama, LBJ, FDR, Ike, Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump, Lauren Bacall, Bernie Sanders, Jerry Seinfeld, George Soros, Putin, Zelensky, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, his father in law, Ron Lauder, President of the World Jewish Congress. 

What is going on? How many Jews are there really? How many are billionaires?

At this critical time, you'd think proof that World wars are engineered by Freemasons on both sides working for the Rothschilds to undermine Christian civilization, kill believers & patriots, and bring back the "Messiah" (Lucifer)  would be of interest. 

You'd think knowing that Netanyahu, Trump & Putin and the leaders of Iran are Freemasons would be of interest. 

You'd think that Trump, Netanyahu & Putin belonging to Chabad, a Jewish supremacist cult openly dedicated to starting WW3 would be of interest. The proof is in my free book which was banned by Amazon and Ingram


Why are such talented and smart people so indifferent to Chabad's plot to start a third world war for which they will be blamed? 
(Someone please tell me. hmakow@gmail.com)

I asked Grok-

Jews are disproportionately prominent in every field dependent on brains rather than muscle. Are they smarter than other people?
 Have they benefited from selective breeding?  In religious Jewish society, girls were married off to scholars.

Grok replied-

Yes, Ashkenazi Jews (the large majority of Jews in Europe, the US, and many other places) show a well-documented higher average IQ and corresponding overrepresentation in cognitively demanding fields. This is not true to the same degree for Sephardic, Mizrahi/Oriental, or Ethiopian Jews. The pattern is real, measurable, and has plausible historical and genetic explanations involving selection pressures rather than pure "selective breeding" as in animal husbandry.

THE ACHIEVEMENT & IQ DATA

Jews are roughly 0.2% of the world population and about 2% of the US population. They account for roughly 22% of all individual Nobel laureates (higher still--often 25-40%--in physics, chemistry, medicine/physiology, and economics). Similar overrepresentation appears in Fields Medals, Turing Awards, world chess champions, top academic departments, and high-IQ professions. 

Multiple studies put the average Ashkenazi IQ in the 107-115 range (commonly estimated around 110), relative to a European/White mean of 100. The advantage is strongest on verbal and mathematical measures; visuospatial scores are closer to average or slightly lower. This has been found in US, British, Canadian, and other samples using vocabulary tests, AFQT subtests, Raven's matrices, and full IQ batteries. Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews score lower on average (roughly 91-100 depending on the comparison group), and Ethiopian Jews lower still. The Ashkenazi elevation is not a recent artifact; it aligns with their outsized success where opportunity has existed. 

Intelligence is substantially heritable within populations (typically 50-80% in adulthood). Group differences of this magnitude are therefore expected to have a genetic component, especially when they track polygenic scores for educational attainment and cognitive ability. One study found that such scores partially mediated the Jewish advantage over Catholics and Lutherans in IQ, education, and related measures. 






HISTORICAL SELECTION PRESSURES, INCLUDING MARRIAGE PRACTICES

The leading explanation is natural selection acting on Ashkenazi populations in medieval and early modern Europe (roughly 800-1600/1700 CE). Jews were largely barred from land ownership and many guilds, so they concentrated in cognitively demanding "middleman" occupations: moneylending, trade, tax farming, estate management. Success in these roles required verbal, numerical, and abstract reasoning skill and produced higher wealth and higher surviving fertility. Literacy was already culturally mandatory for males (Torah and Talmud study). This created sustained directional selection for the relevant cognitive traits over many generations.

The marriage pattern you mentioned is part of the same process. In traditional Jewish (especially Ashkenazi and some other) communities, scholarly ability conferred high status. Talmudic and later sources explicitly encouraged marrying a daughter to a scholar (or the daughter of a scholar). 

Wealthy families frequently arranged matches between their daughters and promising yeshiva students, supporting the young scholar so he could continue studying. This raised the reproductive success of high-ability males relative to less scholarly ones. It is a form of cultural eugenics--preferential mating on intellectual traits--not state-directed breeding programs, but it had the same directional effect. Similar preferences appear in historical records from Talmudic times onward and were especially pronounced in Eastern European Jewish society. 

Additional supporting observations: certain recessive genetic disorders elevated in Ashkenazim (sphingolipid storage diseases such as Tay-Sachs, Gaucher, Niemann-Pick, and some DNA-repair related conditions) cluster in pathways that affect neural growth or function. The hypothesis is that heterozygotes gained a cognitive advantage while homozygotes paid a fitness cost--classic heterozygote advantage under strong selection. Population-genetic data show a bottleneck in Ashkenazi history, but the specific clustering of these alleles is more consistent with selection than pure drift alone. Non-Ashkenazi Jewish groups that did not experience the same medieval European occupational niche do not show the same IQ elevation or the same disease frequencies. 



CAVEATS & CONTEXT

Individual variation within any group vastly exceeds average group differences. Plenty of non-Jews have higher IQs than the Ashkenazi mean, and vice versa. Culture and environment matter: continuous emphasis on literacy, debate, and education amplifies genetic potential and creates feedback loops. The elevation is primarily Ashkenazi.

(They never stopped.)

National IQ estimates for Israel are lower overall because of the mix of Jewish subgroups plus the Arab population. Claims of pure environmental causation struggle to explain the consistency across countries, the specific cognitive profile, the polygenic-score mediation, and the historical timing.

In short, the disproportion is real and tracks measured cognitive ability. Ashkenazi Jews as a group average higher on the traits that predict success in brain-intensive fields. Historical occupational restrictions, mandatory literacy, and preferential marriage to scholars created selection pressures that raised the frequency of alleles supporting those traits. This is the best-supported account of the data.

Scruples - the game of moral dillemas

Well there's "test" IQ and "emotional" IQ. Any person that considers him or her self superior to the rest of humanity fails miserably in both categories.

IQ is like a car's engine - it can only be maximized with the right inputs. If the owner of a high IQ (of whatever religion or group of people) has no interest in reading widely and enriching his or her emotional intelligence with travel, interaction with other cultures, and the study of cosmology and other mind-expanding subjects, he or she will regress to "default mode:, i.e. tunnel-visioned obedience to the superiority propaganda of whatever tribe they were born into.

Superb article .


However ,

another big factor ,
that allowed superior IQ jews to conquer white christian cultures , is their Synagogue of Satan license to casually ignore or reject

[ before , during , and after conquests ] ,

the exceedingly simpleton moral code of white christian opposition against ___

lying , cheating , stealing , murdering , and assassinating

( which can be defined as politicly motivated and gangster executed murders ) .

It seems that white christian cultures would need an average IQ at least ten points greater ,
than the Ashkenazi 120 average IQ ,
to make the christian moral code acceptable among jewish elites .

To be sure , such a ten point superiority difference would be virtually impossible to achieve anytime soon ,if at all , without a sufficiently empowered deity making it happen ;

slim chance of that
except maybe for Pastor Sorensen
whom says JC is guiding him in an effort to "save" christianized cultures worldwide from catastrophic diabolical consequences

( ie. demise and gradual extinction of Western Civilization cultures ) of their more than a hundred years of intractable adult political imbecilism ;
"we shall see" said Lord Rothschild ; to wit ___

The New Testament / ST. Matthew / verse 18:3 KJV .

How are people to combat the dumbing down of all of us with the electromagnetic impulses, food additives, farming with chemicals, demeaning televised violence, mindless consumerism and endless debt, along with the destruction of the family as viable long-term unit? Thes things have been hammered at us since the end of WW2 IMHO. People are not only dumbed down, but we are also perpetually damaged. BTW, watching sports will not end this...that's just mindless occupation of our time.

What we need is real leadership.


JRB said (August 3, 2026):

I disagree with that perspective. Being more cunning does not equate to true intelligence or a meaningful contribution, and most people choose not to operate that way. For example, the formula E=mc² was published by an Italian scientist years before Einstein claimed it, and its practical utility is questionable.

Should we admire Edward Bernays or Henry Kissinger for their lifetime of work? Should we praise the Irgun and Stern gangs as highly intelligent simply because they bombed a hotel and successfully covered it up?

The same applies to figures like Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, or Bill Gates—whose Microsoft Word software remains frustratingly subpar (I remember wordperfect). I simply do not see the great contributions we are being told to admire.

What other names should we discuss? Is Freud significant? I believe his work is mostly ignored right now, other than in popular memes about psychiatry. Is Maxwell significant for controlling academic publications for decades? I don't think we are better off because of his contribution, though I guess that could be debated.

Is the central banking scam intelligent or just brute-force bullying? If you read the most honest books on the creation of the Federal Reserve (Eustace Mullins for example), you would think its formation seemed pretty gangsterish. Was the end of lighter-than-air travel a big advancement? The hindenburg event could be creditably attributed to terrorism. It was effective.

I guess we could say that suppressing all discussion of how sidelining the Bank of Canada in 1974 plunged Canada into an untrammelled debt spiral was somewhat sophisticated.

Peer-reviewed articles about the boondoggle were published in credible journals at the time. We know how international finance works, though. So, Canada was probably read the riot act and quickly fell into line. Is that a sign of intelligence? Not for me.

How about the polio vaccine. They renamed the symptoms and thereby cured the disease. Who would think of that I wonder.

I wonder how Hitler knew how to use music to manipulate crowds. I guess that is intelligent. Since he wasn't a research scientist, I would have to think he was doing what he was told. Reading people's emails is intelligent I guess because you end up sorting through a lot of drivel to find useful bits of data. Seems perverse somehow.


EJ said (August 3, 2026):

My father, a 1st generation Irishman, high school drop out was full of interesting aphorisms such as:
“Figures don’t lie but liars figure.”
So inviting one to engage in the IQ game based on Western Civilization parameters and quite often skewed to pre conceived “winners” a larger question arises.
Why doesn’t High IQ equal to high morality?

The disgusting sexual practices of trafficking of children, and young women; the on going slaughter of thousands of innocent men, women, and children in Gaza, Lebanon, etc. all in the name of creating a “Greater Israel;” the leading purveyor of the porn industry; the arrogant assertion that all non Jews are animals to be slaughtered, lied to, stolen from and more doesn’t seem very ‘smart’ to me.


RK said (August 3, 2026):

Although one can argue the jewish people as a whole score high on intelligence tests the point can also be made that the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God such that when it comes to what is truly important in life, living a life pleasing to God worthy of gaining eternal life, the Jews as a whole score the lowest of all races due to their never ending unique hatred of the only one able to grant eternal life, Jesus Christ. What is thought to be intelligence is actually a mental handicap. What good is it to gain the whole world only to forfeit one’s soul?


SV said (August 3, 2026):

IQ is a flawed way of evaluating intelligence and doesn't account for out of the box thinking that primarily arises from intuition, flashes of imagination, dreams and visions.

Testing people for math puzzles, verbal proficiency, structured logic as done by IQ tests doesn't reveal the true creative powers of a person.

An unschooled peasant may have brilliant insights into farming, water conservation, animal husbandry, sewing, architecture, manual machineries, natural cures, waste management and more. Most genius inventers were barely schooled or were school dropouts. PhD holders are not held in awe nor are they in demand by industry where cutting edge practical skills, leadership and networking are in demand not scribbling theorems on paper - if I give a person all the possible science equations and mathematical models and ask her or him to devise a piece of machinery, assemble it or repair it, the person will be at a loss and remain stuck on paper.

At the very most, theory gives the limits below or beyond which a project is not feasible and then too this may not be the case as nature has strange ways of hiding secrets which is why our values of the physical constants have kept changing as experiments come up with newer values refining or overthrowing the old.


AL said (August 3, 2026):

Jews are not 10% smarter, they're just 100% greedier. With more shekels you can buy a lavish Disneyland lifestyle with high test scores, go anywhere, do anything and start more wars until the next pogrom. Expulsions happen when the goyim are 10% smarter than Jews. Pogroms happen when the goyim are 100 % smarter than Jews.

Let some Ethiopian Jews write an IQ test for some Ashkenazis about doing actual work themselves without disenfranchised people doing it for them and watch the Askenazis flunk.

F.Y.I. to Sarah Silverman. It was the attempted murder of Christ. Yeshua met up with His uncle Joseph of Arimathea after the Roman guards ran away from his tomb peeing themselves in fear.


Yaakov said (August 2, 2026):

Had Ashkenazi Jewish persons really been smarter than others, many or most of the major inventions, discoveries, and design and manufacture of key machines, technologies and devices would have been done by them but this is not the case.

Western Christians are responsible for almost all the major inventions, discoveries, and design and manufacture of machines.

Winning Nobel Prizes and Turing Awards have little value as these awards are often rigged by the elites and given for arcane theories that are mere plausible explanations of phenomena which may or not be true, whereas an invention of say a motor, MRI, computer, semiconductor, plane, gene editing or engine - all of these invented by gentiles - calls for very different skills that have very little or nothing to do with theories. This is why Non-Jewish Whites like Nikola Tesla, Wright brothers, Charles Babbage, James Watt, Shockley, Lenoir, Graham Bell, Thomas Alva Edison and other greats stayed far away from insipid and misleading theories and put their everything into the practice, inventions.

I can't name 1 major machine or technology or device designed and fabricated by Ashkenazi Jewish persons. Even where seminal theories are concerned, the foundation was laid by Christian Europeans like Newton, Faraday, Pasteur, Euler, Hilbert, Planck, Turing, Maxwell, Bohr, and others. Ashkenazi Jews made some incremental contributions to their theories. As for inventions, every single piece of hardware has been conceived, designed and made by Non-Jewish Europeans. On the academic front, Asians from China, Korea, India, Vietnam, Iran and Japan are at the foreground winning all major high school and college competitions and flooding the top STEM, architecture and economics programs at all Western universities edging out Jews by a huge margin.

Bottom line - inventions, discoveries, and design and manufacture of hardware count not penning bland and superficial mathematical theories, that, as noted by Tesla, have very little or nothing to do with the reality even where theories go.

As for chess, India invented it and the leading exponents of the game are from India and Europe. One hardly comes across a Jew at top level competition.

re: henrymakow.com/2026/08/jews-are-smarter-than-other-pe.html

10 points wiser isn't 1/10 wiser, rather 10 times wiser.

10 points IQ = 10 FOLDS the thinking power.
IQ = 10*log_10(brains).
This is decibel = 10 times log base 10.
I claim this because it fits the formal ranking:
Up to 69 is formally a moron
70 up to 83 is limited-intelligence (formerly: mild retardation)
90 for IKEA DIY
100 safe car driver
120 proper student

Northern European cities used to have average 120, 110 per country
and 100 in the countryside. 120 is the average Ashkenazi Jew.
In comparison: Hitler failed 1st and 11th years at school and dropped out.


RH said (August 2, 2026):

If one were split other groups into smaller subsects, I could imagine each group having a small proportion with a higher mental acuity. When I read that the European nobility purposely kept serfs stupid, for control reasons; it would not take long to have some people smarter than others.

Yet, the NT says those who are given more, will be held to higher standard (Luke 12:48).

There lies the real message and we seem to be needing more stripes, because we do not get it.
