Im probably gonna have to answer this in two comment or more, some now some later. I cant tackle it all because its too long! You have a ton of good stuff but I will have to go piecemeal. > Broadly, there is the tendency to be authentically creative, or a tendency to parasitize. Boy that sums it up. >I doubt much of a case, if any, could be made phylogenetically. The Jews have been so thoroughly interbred between their various captivities and the diaspora that we are forced to go beyond mere genetics here - ... I'm picturing some polymorphism that's been duplicated such and such a number of times, and this variant could be passed on, probably maternally. If you are simply measuring SNPs in common then no, they wont have more difference from us than any middle easterner or indian, etc. But what if there was one gene, a revolutionary gene (not in e michael jones’ sense but novel in its function) or a small set of revolutionary genes that fundamentally changed the function of an organism from an agrarian to a parasite of its own species? Cant fundamental function or strategy be a rubric for speciation? We have a lot of polymorphisms in common with chimps, but *we* gained speech and they didnt. I know christians like ps may feel that there are the nice jews in the bible and then jews took a wrong turn somewhere. Not my view. Phantom42 is now very angry with me and tells me there is a bullet for me. ;-p I want to tread a little carefully here because I know this totally conflicts with christianity, but I cant accommodate that stuff in my working theory. Whatever this thing is that they do. They had the genes for it by the end of the bronze age. Or at least some. And ashkenazi jews areapparently admixed with goyish mtDNA from some bottleneck 1500 years ago. You know what Im refering to? So if indeed 40% or more of their maternal lineage is european, it cant be a sex linked gene from mom’s side. Because then ash. jews wouldnt be quite so jewish, which they def are. Of course you could theorize that any itinerant tribe would be selected for genes that lend themselves to parasitism. It seems that may be the case to some extent. Gypsies and irish travelers are hated almost universally for their parasitic behavior, deceptiveness— gypsies have an interesting origin story about stealing the nails that would have nailed jesus to the cross, so god gave them the right to steal. But these groups are just not as effective as jews. Half jews are like still pretty predicatably jewy to some extent, so I think it isnt just one gene. We should actually analyze matrilineal half jews vs patrilineal half jews. What if we found a big difference in behavioral traits! Wouldnt that be amazing? >I'd widen the view beyond even reading/writing, but include number, and more importantly: the ability to abstract. Meh. They used characters as letters number interchangeably so their magic words had numerical significance as well but they didnt perform great math. The egyptians, the greeks, even the indians did more math. Im not saying no jews did math. But all the major math innovations were by goys, imo. Mostly germanics. I think jews tend to steal and repackage work done by goys in this area, einstein being the most glaring example. That guy that stole FM from Armstrong jumps to mind. But I could be wrong. Sounds like you know more about their numerology I have found some of the stuff bret weinstein says really interesting, but in this recent “struggle session” incident on the Clubhouse last week, he’s proven *again* how he cant apply evolution to the real world when it conflicts with his jewish narrative, but I digress. Its my understanding that the hyksos may have been initially welcomed in to egypt but eventually gained control of the north of egypt. And then had to be shown the door. And then lied about being the “victims” of exodus. Just like with the holocaust and the communist takeover of Russia. They do not value objective fact reporting. I know they arent the only people to oush a biased POV but they are the worst/best at it. Yes Im sure some stayed behind. I think at many junctures some jews have left the tribe and assimilated with the locals. This is part of the natural selection process that makes them who they are. Jews that are less “jewish” are more likely to leave. A key mechanism for breeding such a culturally tight, nepotistic (conspiratorial?) group. But that is a very interesting idea that the egyptians may have given them monotheism. >The Jewish religion (except for perhaps two attributes) is a Canaanite scaffold upon which was strung Babylonian/Persian and Egyptian theology. From the Babylonian obsession with the power of numbers/letters to the emanationist monotheism of Egypt, the only thing that Jews added quite characteristically to it all was (a) being obsessed with an immanent apocalypse, (b) the emphasis on messianism as a political ascendancy and earthly kingdom, and (c) covenantal language and obsession with law (which was largely to blame on Babylon anyway). This is good stuff. You are giving me stuff to chew on, yummy. >the reprisals against Jews, whatever kind of persecution forms they take, are always viewed by the Jews as punishment by God. Okay but their mythology ends in the iron age, unless you count that sabbatean stuff. How do jews handle the inquisition historically? As a persecussion by goys out of the blue. Or the pogroms. They lie. To themselves. Do jews say the inquisition was divine justice? Maybe some of them do, I dunno. >God setting them apart as the moral compass of the world. Even secular jews believe this shit. I do believe that communist jews think they are doing everyone a huge fucking favor. >What I see happening throughout history with the Jews is this fundamental inability to explain their own outcomes in any terms other than their insular world-explanation of 'God gives or God takes'. Perhaps because they are so solipsistic, they dont even consider other groups as humans, on their level. This literal belief among observant jews may also be a real tendency in secular ones. > I think Christianity is an exception here. I’m going to have to come back to this later. I dont even have time to read this over. But this is good interesting stuff. I feel like Im learning things and working stuff out.
