A lot of fully-western desis have a unique ability to depioritize honesty that moves these people from being NPC-like to being evil.
Both Vivek Ramaswamy and Zohan Mamdani lived at home with at least one of their parents being a known scammer (Zohan's father, and Vivek's mother).
And these are south asian elites. They are above average; they are still trash. There's inherent group differences from sub-speciation differences and selection pressure differences. Selection pressure differences are the most impactful. You are Israeli, and you should know that Ashkenazi Jews and South Italians are virtually the same genetic cluster (even in 3D graph). Fst distance is very low. So all group differences are from SPD, which results in a fucking 20 IQ difference between the two groups.
Early Israel under performed because it was socialist. High trust societies aren't magical, it will remove lots of handicaps and allow IQ to shine though. Israel's economy is mostly run by a small minority of highly talented/gifted Ashkenazi. Ultra orthodox Israeli Ashkenazi have self-imposed a horrific handicap on themselves with their disdain of quality secular education ( Hopefully the young 130IQ + UO will self-educate themselves out of curosity which g elevates). It's the same everywhere. A small fraction of people who tend to several sigma above average runs things, that alongside algorithms post IT revolution.
The hierarchy in Israel: 1: Ashkenazi 2: Ashkenazi and white or sephardic mixes 3. White (russians), Sephardic, some Mizarahi Jew groups. 4. Rest of the Mizarahi. 5. Arabs 6. black rapefugees and ethiopian Jews.
It's not fair. We all wish inherent group differences didn't exist, but they do. Culture/religion won't solve all your problems. There comes a point where you must exploit evolutionary mechanics with selective breeding to take things to a higher level.
If we bred for intelligence, we might of had viable genetic engineering by now to make the super rich into superhumans (so they'd become enlightened and more altrustic) and fix any of these inherent group difference problems.
But we did not. We made things extra fucking hard because of fascists using eugenics as a political weapon aganist undesirables. What a juvenile response.
Eugenics is a liberal progressive idea, and it's a real shame that Lib progs tunnel visioned on mental illness in the anglosphere, western europe and even Israel.
