About Explainers: From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion.
Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.
About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated - yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.

You helped this secular Jew appreciate just how beautiful her religion is. 🩵 עם ישראל חי
Secularism is as or more important than theologism.
We practice and study and learn theology with purpose. The purpose of the theology is to live, and live well. Like the video says, most Jews don't only study, but understand we must practice with and through our ordinary daily lives.
Not only religious but also ethnic group
Excepting different thoughts and opinions is the reason that secular Judaism is not an oxymoron
Do you accept Yeshua as God
Most Jewish people secular or not haven’t even read their own scriptures. It is a beautiful but humbling experience to read Isaiah 53 and the book of Zachariah so you know who Yeshua is and the unity with how Christians are adopted into Judy Zumper have their own uniqueness from their own unique culture yet their relationship with God is strong and in their weakness and imperfection, it’s made stronger by dependence. Yeshua HaMachiach means promise savior, holy anointed one(as Jewish scripture promises the Priest of priest and king of Kings), the poor man’s Latin of that is Jesus the Christ. But according to Jewish scripture, the Jews are going to miss it while the non-Jews accept it. An interesting rebuke of the leaders of the Jewish leaders lying is found in Ezekiel 34 With a with a perfect example of how the good Shepherd will be God incarnate on earth. Although it’s obvious this is an interesting time. If people want to know what Jesus actually said about himself, because it is true that you’re not gonna hear the truth in a synagogue about what Jesus said he said, read Isaiah 53, Genesis one through three, and then the book of John for yourself, followed by Matthew, and Zachariah. Maybe you’ll need to copy and paste all this into notes, but also Ezekiel 34 and psalm 23 and so many more psalm of the baby. Pierced for our transgressions, by his wounds, we are healed, who does the Jew think that is talking about if it isn’t Jesus? Jesus saved the non-Jews, and Jewish people need to take it seriously that Jesus is Lord.

Add keeping the sabbath. Humans tend to keep working 'till the job is done', not allowing themselves rest. Taking that day off and focusing on Godly things really gives a new perspective and creativity in solving problems. Skip the sabbath, and you close that door.
i agree, I recently enforced a secular sabbath upon myself during snowboarding season cause I was exhausting myself trying to get as much time on my board before the snow was gone.
@@BaphometicDescent love that! Hope you had a good season

Almost a quarter of the Nobel prices is beyond impressive! 👏👏👏
I'm sure at some point they took over the board and rigged the system in their favor like everything else.
Considering everything is strictly favoring them it really is not.
It's mostly pretty much there are powerful brakes and endless diversions on everyone else who has drive.
I agree ❤
nobel prices are rigged, many winners are woke af and have no real valuable achievements, that doesn't mean that Jews aren't successful, but the Noble Prize statistics aren't reliable
It's good to be Jewish. I've been Jewish since 1960 and loving it!!! 😊

This is the primary reason for antisemitism. It's borne out of jealousy.

@@valkyrie3493 read the talmud. I dont think that Jesus would agree with their beliefs.
@@williamshafer1996 You think Jesus is losing sleep over whatever their talmud says? Does their talmud change anything about Jesus? You think Jesus is giving you points for hating them on his behalf? 😂 😂 😂
They can be forgiven for their ignorance. It is you who are in danger of condemnation for your animosity towards them (or any group for that matter).
God will be always neutral.

You are indoctrinated my friend. See beyond this first level excuse of theirs.
@@user-bl1ji7io6u Actually, Jesus condemned the Talmud. Repeatedly. It's what he meant when he refered to "the leaven of the pharisees".
Every time he rebuked the pharisees, it was a reference to their talmudic teachings.

@@Peter_Lanktoncoping much buddy? 😅
I'm a Jewish boomer. In all the Jewish homes I've visited, there were always books and bookshelves
culture is downstream from genetics
But the key element is Chutzpah/Thales/Socratic/Pyyrhoic thinking. 0:20 Jews make up 0.2% of the world's population, but 22% of Nobel Prize laurates. Ethnic Chinese (19% of the world), place even greater value and emphasis on education --- but it's mostly of the passive, Confucian, rote-memorization, don't ask questions type. As a result, they have only won 1.33%, though that number is expected to rise in future, along with those of Indians.
@vickistone3700
So you're saying they are putting books on bookshelves?
Hmm... interesting. Let me write that down.
@@1KSarah no, they're saying that they priotise intellectual studies, and books are sources of knowledge which jews rely on. don't be silly, you understood

And the world will finally realise that wars and hatred are weaker bonds than fraternity and knowledge.

Please keep wearing it loud and proud in all of your videos! This channel has really helped me embrace, understand and except my Jewish identity and understanding the conflict and our right to self-determination!! Seeing you without it makes me feel lost as a Jew ✡️
AM YISRAEL CHAI 🇮🇱
Judaism is a 3000 year old religion. The hexagram as the Star of David wasn't even a thing a century ago, it hardly has anything to do with your identity.
For centuries, all Jewish children began learning to read at the age of 3. There are those who do so to this day.
I learned to read by then (I am not a boy, as the other reply claims). Other people think it’s not possible, but children can definitely learn it that young
@@totallyrealnotfakelifeadvi7547 You also do not live in the Medivale agaes.
@@user-bl1ji7io6u That's right, even there were FEW famouse Jewish women scholars.
@@user-bl1ji7io6u I was talking about Medival times.
Is that abnormal?
Not all cultures are equal. Some ,lets just say contribute more positively.
Yes. Some are more arrogant... instead of helping the weaker and beeing comapassionate to others outside their cult (and inside as well) . What a great culture. 🙄
@@maremartini4230Be completely serious. All Jews are required to contribute 10% of their income to charity.
@@maremartini4230 you are very wrong, it isn't a cult, and yes- millennia of being persecuted teaches people to look for each other.
@@melvinc23 For truly spiritual people it's not a cult, I agree. But for most of those here in this debate it is - because people inside a cult always seperate themselfes from the rest of all human beings, claiming they're above them because of some knowledge, practice or insights. That is what a huge wing of the jewish people does since hundreds of years, still convinced that they're the "chosen ones". That superioryty, that arrogance makes them members of a cult (all cults typically have this exact conviction of being superior to the rest of menkind). - As I've witnessed in Israel myself: Many jews only look after "each other" inside their cult; when you're not jewish, they don't feel the need to care, quite obviously, terrifyingly.
so, the last bit about barred from owning lands, joining guilds, etc... i finally have an answer for why there's "too many successful jews". um, WE WERE PERSECUTED INTO SUCCESS!
That is actually correct. Having to work around oppressive systems (against Jews) for thousands of years has created a small group of scrappy people.
In Malaysia, if you’re too smart and intelligent, you’ll never get hired. So sad but that’s the truth 😢
Anyways, thank you very much for the detailed history ❤❤❤
Have a great day ahead ☀️ ✡️
That's why many Jews built their owned businesses or they become inventors..
Also Malaysia forbids Jews to visit their country. Ignorant or what?
interesting , why ? are the higher up afraid of being outsmarted by an employee ?
@@AiNews-dq6ib sadly yes
Sounds like Indonesia too. Too smart = hard to get job. Even you are introvert
Brought up with good values and genes. You don’t have to go back far in time to figure it out. It’s natural for others to hate on a successful small minorities.
As a non Jewish agnostic I must say that I have always suspected that the points made in this video are true. And I have always suspected that for this reason antisemitism is rooted in resentment ,envy and jealousy
GOOD VID!
I think it’s beautiful how the colloquial expression for “the smartest person ever” is “Einstein”, a Jew!
that's sarcastic though, einstein. he had a tiny head and was a fr-au-d
@@Joe-sg9llyou think you're smarter?
@@YeshuaIsTheTruth that's irrelevant to his being a plagiarist forcedmeme
As a secular Jew I spent a Shabbat (weekend) a few months ago with my friend who is ultra Orthodox and his family.
I was amazed of the level which learning fill every moment of their day, and the deep commitment. All day long he would quize his little kids, play memory games, ask questions on their understanding.
Go to the synagogue to pray, than stay for studying with friends.
It was pretty intense, and this is coming from a med student!
Anyway after that I really could understood some of the things mentioned in this video.
You value education and independent thinking. There’s a reason why the stereotype of “ask 3 Jews a question, you’ll get 4 different answers” is a thing lol
It's because in Judaism you're required to write the Torah. So literacy is a requirement of the religion. The other religions oppress their adherents and forbid them from reading.
No one can forcibly remove & take away your knowledge, education. & intelligence. No government.
No people.
Extraordinary video. 👍🏻 I’ll send it to my children.
The secret is pretty simple. The jews adopted a culture of intellectualism and hard work from early on and have strived to attain artistic endeavor and merit. It has nothing to do little nepotism like anti-semites would believe but simply a culture of people who admire and push for academic excellence. Wish MY regional ethnicity did that

Our moms bug us until we win a Nobel prize that’s the real reason
You put this together beautifully! Thank you!
Every human on the planet will have a higher level of success if they:
1) value education
2) master the language of the country they're in (via whichever circumstance)
3) prioritize critical thinking and healthy debate
4) don't use victimhood as a stand-in replacement for the previous 3
Seems like some cultures/ideologies cozy up to these rules more than others, and hence, they've got the wealth, power, and prestige that deservedly comes from following the tried-and-true rules that all people, of all backgrounds, can follow --- it's good news for all of us humans
But jews use victim hood mentality by calling anyone an anti-semite who challenges any aspect of jewish culture
Very well explained! I would only add that our 100% trust and faith in G-d fueled all these aspects. The intellect and all our awareness is to reveal the G-dliness in the whole universe.
Making a distinction between nature and nurture, and saying that the former is either cringe or fringe (could not tell which you said) and thus implying that the latter is not is totally absurd, there is no difference between nature and nurture, unless one is deluded into thinking there is free will. Plus, there are very reputable scientific studies that show that Jews have a median IQ 15 points higher than the general population, which is one standard deviation. This makes very little difference at the center of the distribution, but makes a HUGE difference (22% of the Nobels difference, 4 of the 10 richest people in the world difference) at the tail of the distribution.
Your first points describe a religious lifestyle, but all the Nobel prize winner are not living such a life
Well I didn’t grow up Jewish but my best friend was Israeli when we both lived in Germany in middle school. She came to visit me in my country to summer after we parted and the next year I flew to her country, Israel. I was so surprised how at home I felt, that I could see signs posted of businesses with my family name, people had not just the same curly hair, but also the same quirky sense of humor. Then I discovered that part of my heritage was Jewish. Just no one told me. My dad held a high position in the foreign service and did not want anyone to know about having Jewish ancestry. Yes this was in Europe and shortly after WWII still lots of antisemitism.
So interestingly, I converted, as it felt right. My plan was to ultimately live in Israel. I went to College, studied sciences and went to med school to become yet another Jewish doctor. How crazy is that?
A thing the video didn’t address is that Judaism also requires Jews to “heal the world”, so lots of Jews helping healing, being Social workers is also common.
I’m not sure about being smarter, but one thing is for sure, studying a lot, such as in medical school, does increase processing speeds. At least that what I noticed for myself. I can read and process large amounts of material much faster now. And it’s been shown that the brain does sprout more connections in the brain with stimulation. So in that sense studying makes you smarter. Studies at UC Berkeley showed this with mice that at any age we can grow more connections between neurons (brain cells). And I agree, for those keeping the Sabbath, it’s very calming and powerful. But I never did in medical school. My boyfriend was Jewish and neither of us did, we had so much studying, but we did no other relaxing things. 😉
That why Jewish debates are always fun to watch, in a sense that they are valuables and the disagreements are not heated.
u didnt see israeli politicians argue then , they r close to be as childish as usa politicians when arguing
@@goldpuro1624 now if I think about it, you are right
Thanks for raising awareness about the Jewish cultural emphasis on knowledge and education.
My parents weren’t Jewish, but had tons of books and always reading. One doesn’t need to be Jewish to be intellectual. But yes I am, after discovering ancestry I converted. …and now I’m smarter. 😂 And I became a doctor. That’s Jewish humor for you. Judaism is a religion with so many rules…this is one reason why no one is encouraged to convert to Judaism. And who wants to be persecuted?
The Rabbis in NYC told me I had a Jewish soul after I told them about severa Rabbis on my dad’s side, some of them famous. Couple of chief Rabbis etc. Am Israel Chai. עם-ישראל חי
Please support Israel. Israel needs you! Go visit volunteer, or donate, whatever your religion is you’ll be welcome! I was welcome many years before I knew I belonged there. It’s such a great place and so welcoming to many people.
I’m not Jewish but my parents are descended from Ashknazi and Sephardic people
If your mother was born jewish, or Her mother is jewish, then according to jewish law- you are jewish as well.
We don’t proselytize, but keep learning about your ancestors. You might find it’s organic to your spirit and come to visit us in Israel.
they call that Schizophrenic
For any "oppressed" people watching this. Do your people value education? Do your people value family? Do your people network with each other to build wealth and businesses? Do your people give to charities that promote helping your people? Do your people respect and honor God by doing good things and avoiding bad things?
Now talk about all the other stuff that goes on. The stuff that people arent allowed to talk about.

You seem to think you know so much information, you tell us!
What are you trying to prove here? You're just being aggressive, which isn't going make anyone: 1. Listen 2. Agree with you 3. Clearly even understand your underlying message
Nonsense. It's just random evolution
Why do you put faith in the theory of evolution, namely macro evolution with zero evidence, yet you deny historical evidence of God and all of scripture that proves itself as true from a catastrophic temperature changing world event that every culture has a written account of, to the prophecies being fulfilled today in real time that if you know scripture, you will know what I’m talking about. God isn’t a myth, and saying you don’t believe in him, doesn’t mean that you won’t still be held accountable for the fact that he has shown himself to you, God gives everyone a chance, but he will allow people to solidify the hardness of their heart and what they want to choose, which is trying to save themselves, an eternal separation from him and all his good. That’s only “fair.” Him saving us while we are still sinners isn’t fair, it’s merciful. God didn’t create a broken world, we break the world every day, rejection of God, little or small creates large domino effect ramifications towards evil, however, anyone who humbly seeks the truth with their whole heart will find it, the place to start is by reading scripture it encourage people to start in the book of Matthew and read through the new testament going back to the old. Even religious followers in Judaism are not told the truth about what Jesus actually said, that speaks volumes of the evil because Jews understand lying is a sin. And the scripture prophesied even that in Ezekiel 34.
I have ADHD so my jews powers are slightly defective
I am neither Jew, nor Christian, nor any religion, but I deeply admire the Jewish people for their love of learning. This is a massively positive trait!!!!😊
this doesn't explain the huge gap between Ashkenazi and Oriental Jews, if they both follow the same teachings you would expect them to have simular intellectual achievements?
Ashkenazi Jews mostly lived in Europe most inventions in the last 200 years in Europe
@@user-bl1ji7io6u Germany was a good environment? Seriously? why did they left for Palestine then?
besides, even today in Israel, oriental jews achievements are significantly less than Ashkenazi

it can't be inbreeding because Ashkenazi Jews have similar inbreeding factor to Orientalists
@@emad3241 It's a good question. I think the answer is that Europe had the scientific Enlightenment, whereas the Middle East did not. The Enlightenment emancipation allowed Jews to leave the ghettos and transfer critical thinking skills they'd learned in religious schools to secular learning and the arts. They were allowed to enter European universities which further developed their skills.
@@boudicca9807 the Middle East did have a scientific enlightenment during the golden age of Islam, and plenty of major Jewish scholars and scientists emerged in that era (like Maimonides and Ibn Shaprut), Muslims back then considered science and critical thinking as a form of worship
@@emad3241 Indeed they did, but by the 18th C the golden age of Islam was long dead. We live in the wake of the European Enlightenment, not the Islamic Golden Age.

Throughout history, Jewish students who excelled academically would marry the daughters of rabbis who also had good genes and so were born smart children who also continued to do so
Catholic Christian children who were good students were chosen to serve as priests who, as we know, did not marry and therefore the chain was cut off with no followers.

During the Middle Ages, a child's right to education depended on social status, the Church, gender, and dealing with constant wars.
The literary rates amongst the peasants was low, but those who had the privilege (money, status) of getting an education were either tutored at home or sent to an an ecclesiastical school, which were related to the Catholic Church.
Monastic and cathedral schools were established by the Church to train future clergy and monks. Education centered around religious studies, reading and writing Latin, and studying scripture.
Ergo, those students who had the money to afford an education, were educated by the Church, and the smartest boys usually became Priests.
@@miraleatardiff8543 I'm not talking only the Middle ages. Many hundreds year before, the Jewish children learned to read and write and were sent to educated in public schools.
It was an instruction of the greatest of the generation to teach the children basic learnings. The good ones studied high Jewish studies and the rest became apprentices to various craftsmen but always knew how to read and write.

Wow, just like Hitler and his eugenics nonsense. Y’all are really leaning into that, aren’t ya?
@@onetwoyankeeleaning into true facts? Yes
I think there are more reasons for those born in countries other than Israel. For example, American Jewish kids study for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah from an early age. This means learning a whole new language ( Hebrew) with a totally different alphabet. Not only that, the script is written in the opposite direction as English. It's like learning to decode lengthy and complex messages at an early age. Finally, at 13, you are called upon to demonstrate your skills in front of your entire family and associated friends, including reading directly from the torah, chanting prayers and text and even giving a short speech.
Another consideration is the question of survival of the fittest among the people subjected to repeated banishment and atrocities.
I am not Jewish, I come from Greece. I deeply admire the Jewish Ethnos and the amazing people of Israel.
I wish we Greeks will be as united, resilient, strong, moral and innovative as the Israelis, when the hour of crisis comes.
Dear people of Israel, you are a blessing and an inspiration to the world. Stay strong!!!
❤❤❤thank u😊
Very well said...❤
The most valuable thing I acquired at the catholic school I attended were the critical thinking skills that Sister Leonie taught.
Yes, they’ve done away with critical thinking in American public schools.
My grandparents were all Holocaust survivors. My grandma, with nothing more than a 3rd grade education is wicked smart. Bought real estate and knows the market really well! At 95, she doesn’t need a dollar from anyone
My daughter went to a private school in a country town in Australia. There she was part of the gifted and talented program and in a class full of bold and bright personalities. For year 10,11 and 12 she wanted to go to another school in Sydney. It was full of children of Jewish families and she said that she and everyone back at her old school were ordinary compared to the Jewish girls. She said that the capacity was scary.
I love this video!!!

I knew it was a good idea to spawn in as a Jew to get that 20%+ learning bonus
Fr we are lucky to be born Jews but that means we have to work harder as well
thank you for one of your BEST presentations - Enlightenment, well thought out and presented!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw this hours before Shabbat and felt a prayer was called for. THSANK YOU!
As a Christian I am indebted to the Jewish people!
I go on the notion that Jewish houses have had books, literacy, etc., because they have higher innate abilities to do so.
Listen, because your blessings bares fruit. Doesn’t mean your assumptions do
Great vid. As an outsider glimpsing in (kinda), I'd like to add it looked to me the nurturing parts that helped Jewish excellence was * valuing mental health. Not only all the jewish friends I know see therapists, but taking a mandatory break in the week and drinking wine demonstrates it. * the method of studying Torah with a buddy could be applied successfully to any field. * listening to momma, who is probably the master of manipulating/guilt-tripping their kids to do better. * and maybe their kids were always busy Friday night and Saturday doing other things rather than slacking off and mischief. * and the stories they tell of legendary perseverance, hutzpah, and survival probably does wonders on a person's will to succeed.
You forgot to mention jewish nepotism.
@@kathrynanneperry4651 every kinda people does various forms of nepotism. How it can increase intelligence would be in the details, but it usually doesn’t result in excellence.
Thank you Hashem
they must be doing something right .... but fun fact... it's only the jews in the diaspora ... not when they have their own country. Israel is "only" average in all pisa and education statistics. Israel even scores below OECD average. So the host countries also maybe had some affect?
How do you explain all the high tech firms springing up in Israel then?
Shh... you arent supposed to talk about your masters like that.

Finally. After so long. It's here

I thought you were going to show that clip where young Sheldon is about to convert to Judaism?
I see videos when people are reading the torah they shake back and forth whats the reason for that?
I really enjoyed this presentation. I just hope that this statement, unlike the last one, makes it past the super-efficient comment deleter.
we can only hope the deleter will miss this
Short answer to the thumbnail:
No, Jews aren't inherently smarter than anyone else. It was their cultural priorities that push them to study, growing out from both the near requirement to study the Talmud (among men at least) and Jewish law, and as a survival mechanism to survive in a hostile Christian and Muslim World that barred them from a number of critical professions like owning land, including for farming, so their talent got focused into places they were allowed to have at least a chance like law, science, medicine and entertainment, finance (and even in those places they faced discrimination).
Sort of like how African Americans faced severe discrimination in both education and career prospects so their talents got focused into the few professions they were allowed to thrive, like sports and entertainment (and even in those institutions they were held back).

And what does that have to do with learned culture?
@@user-bl1ji7io6u Have you heard about Hitler? He argumented with that. You should study history!
this actually makes the most sense out of all the various comments on this video. There has been so much sensationalization about cultural and genetic superiority the simplest answers are overlooked. To sell a cultural presence like a supplement is really entrepreneurial
@@pikiwiki Wow all my critical and historical answers get deleted. Jews don't like selfrefection I guess. Just like some folks in germany back then 😅 guess this gets deleted as well....
@@user-bl1ji7io6u Epigenetic? Said the germans in the 30ies/40ies about their people, too. 🙄
This non-Jewish Israeli can confirm this fits most of what I have learned about Jews. This makes life in Israel challenging, exciting and never boring.
Exactly like the SNL skit "The Hominids." It's a technique that works.
Education being paramount is something I hope becomes global, but even in communities and cultures that do hold this to be true, they sometimes cannot access the methods of education. In developing countries it's not always easy to get schools built, teachers in them, and kids in the class. I believe that so many possible Nobel winners are out there, but they have not been given the opportunity.
"I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould
Now think how many possible Nobel Prize winners were among the 6,000,000 Jews who perished in the Holocaust.
Now also think how many scientists, doctors, writers and others the world lost. We canno't even imagin how our lives would have improved If they only stayed alive.

"History is filled with great Jewish Thinkers".
...then shows picture of Marx 😡🤢
Shouldve put Milton Friedman!!
thank you for noticing that too
gives me hope for the future

Karl Marx is absolutely an extremely revolutionary thinker, just more examples of accomplished jewish thinkers

It’s all about motivation. It’s all about learning and knowing the truth. In physics matter and energy cannot make or direct themselves. So there was a time when matter and energy were made as well as time itself since measurable time can’t exist without a great amount of matter. This means there was a time when time was made in the not too distant past. This shows that every physical thing is the result of a Creation.
Only your Creator can perfectly cover for you Himself and remake you again from the inside out by the power of His true word as no one else ever can. This is the only absolute truth in existence.
I think #1 is most important. Jews and East Asians basically care about learning. We're better at story telling while Asians are better at math and engineering. I'm being slightly racist, but I don't care.
Jews test higher on verbal IQ by a whole 2 deviations almost, hence why everybody chooses a Jewish lawyer
Why do you think Asians are better at math and engineering? The best computer programmers are Jewish. We've dominated the field, despite our low numbers, for at least half a century.
Inorder to boost your intellect just learn the Holy Vedas. It's scientifically proven that brain capacity and performance can be greatly enhanced by the constant recitation of the Vedas. Om Brahmane Namah🙏
The Vedas is many things. However, being "holy" is NOT one of those things.
As Israeli jew, I would say - we defintely are not valueing critical thinking enough (and our jewish culture in general currently do not push it enough), and the more critical you are - you are usually more secural.
So the critical thinking mostly does not come from the jewish approach, but from other sources this current day and age
my instant reaction: oh come on, what does goat yoga have to do with jews now...
Yes
It's genetics
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing!
Society that has experienced many generational trauma make their mind more suspicious and thus deeper into the nature of people and things.
Non-Jewish parenting: “because I said so”
Jewish parenting: “well, let’s think about this”
as a goy, i love to read the talmud. All non-js should read the volumes of the talmud. It's so eye opening how, as the video states .2% of the population, pulls the levers of western societies.

A lot of respect for Jewish people from Kosova🇽🇰. Can anyone recommend me really good books which explains Jewish excellence, I would love so much to take lessons from your culture and apply it to my children.
Not only nurture, Nature also matters. Jews are intelligent also because of their genes.
Yes, many Jews are descended from that intellectually elite group of individuals who were taken into captivity in Babylon in 586 BCE or 597 BCE. Genes have to play a part in Jewish success; nurture alone can't explain it.
Wow, exact same argument as the Nazis used. Just the other way round 🤣👍Brilliant (your culture of arrogance)! 😉
I go with the idea that Jews are smarter genetically. Not all of them, of course, just enough of them to make an impact. On the other hand, the smartest person on earth could come from anywhere, any culture, any demographic.
So you're following and agreeing to the theory of the Nazis, that some ethnic groups are above others...?! Well, one always knew that the jewish arrogance is far beyond any arrogance in this world existing 👍👍
are you sure?
Genetically? Same theory as the Germans back then??
@maremartini4230 The Germans to whom you are referring were unimaginably cruel and barbaric. But not all of their scientific beliefs were wrong. And I had been referring to generalities within populations.
@@threeofive9401 I'm talking about the general thinking and ethical, scientistic as well as ethnic convictions of the regime, which in every way has proofen to be wrong, especially the epigentic modell. Some comments here are talking about the superioryty of the jewish "genetics" without shame, as you did in parts. Frightening to me.
