You are reading way too much into what I was saying. I honestly couldn't say if the people I worked with were Jewish or not - it's not something that crossed my mind. Growing up in Southern California, the only difference I noticed between myself and Jewish friends was that they celebrated Hanukkah instead of Christmas. I honesty didn't even know there was such as thing as Jewish ethnicity until I was in my 30s - I just thought it was another religion.

My essay briefly touches on the fact there are are IQ testing gaps between groups. I'm sure you know that these gaps are one of the primary explanations for Jewish overrepresentation in technical and intellectual fields. A honest appraisal of the situation instead of denial and attacking people who notice things would by hugely beneficial to everyone.

This is a textbook example of the typical response when someone gets their dog whistles called out. Plausible deniability is a key characteristic of dog whistles[0]. The first sentence is as predictable as the sun coming up tomorrow:

>You are reading way too much into what I was saying.

Note also that he ignores every single point that I made in the post he is responding to. Not a single one is addressed. You see, he is nervous because he has been caught, and he is hoping to distance himself from the anti-Semitic venom he was previously so eager to spew.

My friend, since you did indeed ignore every point I made, why don't you take a shot at addressing some of them now?

Also, you never responded to my questions about the comment you made referencing some group of mysterious, powerful people that you seem to think are working in the shadows to attack Musk:

Btw, feel free to skip the part of your essay where you argue that AI is going to cause white people to lose their jobs to non-whites because it will soon allow them to perform jobs they were previously intellectually incapable of performing. I think we all get the gist, no need to go into it further:

>The cognitively gifted have suddenly found their opportunities more limited if they are White or Asian

>What will the world look like when all the unwashed masses each have their own 130+ IQ assistant in their pocket to help them with daily tasks?

That essay had nothing at all do with Jewish people, so I don't want to respond to each of the points. Instead, I will just give you an honest appraisal of my views to answer your questions. Regarding Musk, I was referring to the ADL, Media Matters, political parties and other orgs that have been angry at his lifting of speech restrictions. And yes, some Jewish orgs have been major players in pushing for internet censorship (out in the open - not in the shadows). I don't see any problem with criticizing any politically organized group of people that is pushing their agenda on me. Why are Jewish groups immune from criticism? Imagine a Mormon civil rights org that worked directly with social media companies to censor content, and that many Mormon people were heavily involved in pro-Mormon political orgs (such as supporting a Mormon ethno-state in the Middle East). Now, imagine that any time someone criticized "the Mormons" that someone would accuse them of spreading anti-Mormon conspiracy theories. Pretending that Jews aren't one of the most politically active groups is just silly, which I hope you will agree.

Now a question for you: How does one critique this Jewish political activism phenomenon without being anti-Semitic? How would you do it?

Regarding my essay, my intent was to call out the hypocrisy of people that believe in equality, but only justify their belief based on very dubious scientific claims that all human population groups - after 50,000 years of separation, genetic bottlenecks, selection pressure and interbreeding with other sub-species such as Neanderthals and Denisovans - all have the exactly same brain characteristics. I was trying to say that high IQ people have been taking advantage of their "unearned" privilege in our modern society while denying that such privilege exists, and that this might be coming to an end with AI - and that my own personal experience proved to me that intelligence does not determine the value of a person. Therefore, to me, differences in average IQ between groups is completely irrelevant to their value as human beings, and that associating the value of people with their intelligence is morally wrong.

There has been a discourse on Twitter the last few days about whether or not Ashkenazi Jews have a much higher IQ than the white average. This posited as an explanation of the over-representation of Jews in things such as Fields medals, Nobel prizes, etc. What are your thoughts?
