I can only bring my anecdotal evidence or illustration to your point 3. About 15-17 years ago, my nephew was sent to take an IQ test as one of the parameters for admission to a Gifted class at his elementary school.

About 15-17 years ago, my nephew was sent to take an IQ test as one of the parameters for admission to a Gifted class at his elementary school. For all but blacks, the threshold for admission was 136. For blacks, it was 118. Such a DEI in my Blue county:) That is, although it is not publicized anywhere and formally since the late 1980s it is not politically correct to talk about it anywhere, school administrators and practical school psychologists are well aware of this IQ gap and quietly lower the barriers for blacks.
I've been there (not that I spent a long time), also have many relatives living in Israel, so I perfectly understand what you're talking about :) When we talk about average IQ, so there're a lot of stupid Jews, we just talk about a bell curve comparatively moved further to the right. There're high IQ and even genius (just take Thomas Sowell) in any ethnicity, the difference is in percentile. Also re Jewish IQ superiority - Jews (on average, again) are extremely talented people, both in good and evil:)
Talented - yes. That is the premise of the article. The question is whether Jews are *inherently*, to which, I argue, there are no compelling evidence.

My anecdotal evidence is 30 years of living in Israel. Spend some time there, and you'll quickly drop any notions about 'Jewish IQ superiority.' 🙂
