Jews, the Jewish culture had a far earlier start than many of those present today who themselves remain united as a group maintaining their roots and heritage. Also the tremendous struggles built a character in them still inherent today. And of course there was God – Speaking directly to them. As far as Jews not been any more intelligent than the rest of humanity – How is it that they have a higher IQ average?? If IQ cannot be learned but is something you’re born with?? I don’t agree with the latter comment but that’s what the experts say.

Wisdom, seldomly is about serving one’s self explicitly – Except when failure to do so negatively impacts those around us and disappoints God.* You may not be able to increase your IQ through your up-bringing, but you can increase your ability to perform and thus succeed. You can through up-bringing increase your ability to more fully exploit your intellect, even your up-bringing itself.

Which requires a greater intellect, or greater humanitarianism: being a nuclear physicist or having a technical understanding of man’s nature as well as the auspices[?] of everyday life involved?

* It begs the question, when should we ever do anything for ourselves without some thought of others? And vice-versa?
