The Lion, Lynn, American Ashkenazim and Antisemitism

Plugging Lynn’s figure for American Ashkenazim verbal IQ (107) into La Griffe du Lion’s Smart Fraction Theory II yields a predicted percapita GDP of about $30,000.  The Lion’s SFT2 is an exceedingly good (r>.9 and p<.001) way of predicting percapita GDP from average verbal IQ as reported by Lynn and Vanhanen in “IQ and the Wealth of Nations”. 

Two key questions for theories of antisemitism in America are to what extent:

  1. Does American* Ashkenazim percapita GDP differ from $30,000, and
  2. Does percapita GDP measure acquisition as opposed to creation of wealth?

*Israel’s mean verbal IQ is lower than 100.

To answer your first question, James, you would need data on two control groups.  You would need the average IQ of European-Americans with a per capita GDP of $30,000, and you would need the per capita GDP for European-American with a verbal IQ of 107.

If both comparisons favoured E-As (they won’t!) that might argue for a degree of anti-semitism.  If they favoured Jews it might argue for Jewish ethnic nepotism ... or at least the primacy of JEN over anti-semitism.

As you intimate in your second question the unstable factor in this is generational wealth, which might need to be stripped out.

The observed fact that middle eastern Jews do not have the high IQ the Ashkenazi do, which explains how Israel can have a relatively low average IQ for a developed country, is extrememly important.

Firstly it suggests that racial IQ differences are a relatively recent phenomenon, treating 1500 years as being recent, whic in evolutionary terms it is.

Secondly, that Christiandom has indeed treated Jews far worse than Islam has, frankly culling them.

Thirdly that the very considerable success of Israel in so many fields suggests that overall national IQ is of relatively little importance compared to producing (or finding & not suppressing) the relatively small number of really intelligent people.

Neil,

1) General racial IQ differentials are not tied timewise to the development of Ashkenazic IQ.

2) Ashkenazic IQ is a product of tribal eugenic practises as well as conflict.  Your suggestion that the peoples of the West have treated Ashkenazics badly passes over the treatment that has been accorded by Ashkenazics to their hosts.  No one disputes the pogroms.  But, equally, no one gets to hear about the causes of the pogroms - excepting the paranoid delusions of people like Adorno.

3) Israel is an economic basket case from which no such conclusions can be drawn.

I would have thought that Christian pressure on the Jews would actually bad for them in evolutionary terms. The tallest flowers being those cut down as it were. The unassuming, average Jews being more likely to escape killing, harrasment whatever.
