Gypsies are another group with a similar strategy. Exploiting the host society through deception. Not hi IQ. But other common traits. Especially “oh we’re so oppressed, we do nothing wrong, why do people persecute?” They both have that psychological tendency to claim victimhood. And they both believe it, I think. But look at the success of jews vs gypsies. One group has a 110 iq and the other has ~80 or 85. One group robs stores and the other group become lawyers and bankers and figure out how to rob entire countries, legally. I believe the founding population of jews were priests. They were a group selected for high IQ and for literacy and knowlege of law and for performance and manipulation of the masses, and for getting people to fork over they $$$ to the temple. All their “special traits” make sense within the context of that role. We are talking ~4000 years ago. So they were selected for high IQ and for high IQ in certain areas, manipulation of cultural information. Goys have high IQs in other areas—inventing and building and growing shit. Jews have shitty spatial intelligence. There are always big trade offs in intelligence. I believe jews are social parasites which infiltrate the bureacracies of host nations to live of the prosperity of those nations, while deceiving the host that “we’re one of you”. They do this over and over. They evolve to look like the host population, (Ashkhenazi, sephardic,...) and they change their names. They live only for the welfare of their own population however. Living off of goys is a very good living it seems. Yes they are selected for particular neurological traits including social intelligence and deception. Most of their genetic diseases have an impact on intelligence and neurology. They seem to be maladaptive but, similar to sickle cell trait in blacks, there is an advantage conferred in the people who only have one copy of the gene. Some guy wrote a whole paper on it. A lot of jewish genetic diseases relate to lipid storage, in particular something called sphingolipids which are involved in brain function. This guy wrote a whole paper on it. https://web.mit.edu/fustflum/documents/papers/AshkenaziIQ.jbiosocsci.pdf
