A huge disproportionate number of Nobel Laureates are Jews.
If you analyze the number of Jews in any "white" entering class at Harvard/Yale/Stanford, they disproportionately outnumber their 'white peers'
Indeed, the three intellectual giants that continue to shape our world: Freud, Marx, Einstein are all Jews (or recent Jewish extractions--in the case of Marx or recent atheists as in Freud).
These accomplishments are even more startling and admirable given that they occurred in the face of CENTURIES of white christian discrimination, pogroms, expulsions, and attempted genocides.
What gives? A culture of achievement? Or is there something within the intellectually rigorous regimen of Judaism that primes its adherents for intellectual greatness?
