Freud, Marx, Einstein, one can argue that these are the three biggest minds who shaped the entire 20th century.

All Jews.

[QUOTE=knickballer]So your telling me what happened in Israel is perfectly fine? I mean the modern day Israel only had a jewish population of around 7% and the rest being arab but the west had guilt after they allowed the Jews to get slaughtered so they(mostly Britian) allowed Jewish settlement in Israel..[/QUOTE]
Stop trying to change the subject, sport. This thread isn't about Israel and zionism.

[QUOTE=Nick Young]Freud, Marx, Einstein, one can argue that these are the three biggest minds who shaped the entire 20th century.

All Jews.[/QUOTE]
In terms of individuals, the Jews have the greatest. I agree with that. But in terms of overall contribution/accomplishment, then the civilizations I mentioned are definitely over the Jews. :D

So?

more to add

spinoza
maimonides
hannah arendt
jon stewart

buncha famous russian authors
houdini



pretty goddamn successful, that's for sure. the other theory to add is the progressive dynamic of jewish study through the talmud, alongside much more of a rejection of the miraculous than any other religion. pragmatic wisdom has always been the mainstay of jewish tradition. the commandments are what they are, but for a rabbi, circumstance is everything, and only by examining the details can proper advice -- wisdom -- be provided. they say the torah is more a set of guidelines than hard and fast rules afterall. lol

Freud's theories are speculative bullshit that have no scientific merit whatsoever. Marx is an interesting character who has had a huge impact on the social sciences more than anything but you sort of have to take Friedrich Engels (not a Jew) into the equation and the fact that his idea of revolution and the end of capitalism hasn't (and will not) happen. Can't say nothing bad about Einstein, he was brilliant (even if he did knock his first cousin up).

Also add the treacherous Alan Greenspan to your list

freud's theories [i]contain[/i] speculative bullshit with no scientific merit whatsoever. alongside giant bulks of marvelously brave insight that nobody had ever made before. his reputation overshadows his ideas by an enormous margin, and it's a shame. the way the majority of the world views him is similar to the way american mainstream media portrays marx.

Some of his ideas are, others are still in use in modern pschology today.

He also was the father of psychology.

Not all of Freud is speculative bullshit. I've only read some of his books, not all, some ideas are outdated and obviously theory or bullshit but not all of it. No one who knows abit about Freud would dismiss him as purely speculative bullshit. And the impact he had on the shaping of the 20th century is vast, even if many ideas were later proven wrong.

[QUOTE=Nick Young]Which is why today Jews are the smartest ethnic group IQ wise.[/QUOTE]

If you include Hasidic Jews in this assessment, you're dreaming, they know nothing of the world other than what is written in the scriptures, if you call that having high IQ, you need your IQ checked.

Including them would make your IQ wise comment a load of bollocks.

Lawl do you know anything about the Talmud?
Talmudic logic is the most complicated type of thought in the world and simply studying and understanding it is a vast intellectual accomplishment all itself even if you have nothing new to add to a Talmudic discussion.

In the US or worldwide?

Regardless, they would drop the so called high IQ race figures.
