Jews the greatest ethnic group in terms of accomplishments for mankind???

Karl Marx
Albert Einstein
Sigmund Freud
Yeshua Ha Nosri (Jesus, one of the most influential people ever)
Woody Allen
Neils Bohr
Steven Spielberg
Stanley Kubrick
Mark Zuckerberg
Bob Dylan


Considering our small population size, is it safe to say that Jews have contributed more to the benefit of humanity than any other group of people?

They also built the Pyramids.

i wouldn't say "benefit" so much as "advancement."

2% of the population producing such a huge proportion of the world's most brilliant people has to have a very interesting story behind it. maybe something along the lines of being persecuted for so long pushes a people to overcompensate...

Three greatest film directors of all time? I don't think so. Maybe in terms of commercial success. As for Zuckerberg, he sorta cheated the Winklevoss twins and even so it's not like he invented social networks.

Anyways, Jews certainly stand out accomplishment wise for their population, but let's not act like they can touch white anglo saxon protestants.

[QUOTE=wikipedia]Nobel Prizes have been awarded to over 800 individuals, of whom at least 20% were Jews, although Jews comprise only 0.2% of the world's population.[/QUOTE]

How about Jesus Christ? :confusedshrug:

Edit: Yeshua Ha Nosri :lol

[QUOTE=miller-time][url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jewish_Nobel_laureates[/url][/QUOTE]

I think this has to do with historic circumstance. Jews were persecuted in the European countries they resided in (many eastern European countries). Since they were not allowed to own land there was really no rural Jews, they all lived in heavy urban centers and had to make a living with business and banking. Being successful entrepreneurs they were able to send their kids to the best schools available.

you're right. i don't think any group can touch WASPs in terms of screwing up the world. they and the WASC's, of course.

Trash?[/QUOTE]

I don't think either of those movies are that great. Jurassic Park was successful because of its amazing special effects that still look good today. Nobody says "OMG Jurassic Park's story was so great!" Jaws was retarded. Great White Shark goes around eating surfers (with theme music for when it attacks) and then some people kill it. Did William Shakespeare write it?

FYI Shakespeare wasn't a Jew (neither were many of the English who have contributed much more than Jews have yet don't have their own thread).

What is Ha Nosri?

God's chosen people. We were always persecuted for our success, jealousy from the less successful majority leading to resentment and hatred.


One theory I read on Jewish success? Jews have always valued intelligence over physical strength like most other races. It was the smartest scholars, not the strongest warriors who were always most revered among the jews so the intelligence continues to get passed on genetically. Which is why today Jews are the smartest ethnic group IQ wise.

LAWL Anglo Saxon protestants have nothing on Jews.

Chinese are comparable IMO

I have no idea how I missed that.

PFFFT. The English have contributed more to humanity than any other group. Sure, the French and Germans have contributed a lot but they have nothing on the English. And while there are notable Jews from all three countries, the overwhelming majority of their historically great people were not Jews. Not trying to diminish Jewish achievement but let's not act like they're all that and a bag of chips.

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..

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

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).

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.
