Thanks Larken for another clear and eel thought out argument. I continue to learn from you. I wanted to add that whilst there are a disproportionate number of Jews in banking and government, there are also a disproportion number of Jews who are novel prize winners, Doctors, psychologists and lots of other fields. As someone brought up in a strictly orthodox jewish Home, I have some insider knowledge and experience. I think that part of the culture is emphasis on education (which involves a lot of indoctrination) and a strong family thing which encourages success in any field and is helped by a strong and large network of people in many disciplines. For example, I have access to some of the top people in their fields just by going to synagogues they might attend. So I think it’s also important to balance the fact that there are a disproportionate number of Jews in finance with the disproportionate number of Jews in lots of other fields. Angood example of this is that israel has the highest proportion of vegans in the world. And to the hater with the Talmud quotes I say this. I studied Talmud for 10 years including three years intensely. It is a huge work of tens of thousands of pages of all sorts of stuff. Some of it is obnoxious and idiotic and some is profound and deep. So to take out the lines in there that are obnoxious is misleading. And that’s not to say that there isn’t a problem of supremacy in the jewish culture but as you say, the problem of supremacy is present in most of not all groups.
