History, even though most of it is lost, shows us most of the approaches possible for human adaptation. We know all the potential political, social, ritual, and recreational orders. However few think about what any of this means.

Now that the news is out revealing that the SPLC has been paying anti-Semites to recite “Learned Elders of Protocols of Ziyon” type gibberish, presumably as a means of discrediting all criticism of Jews or Israel, the absurdity of internet anti-Jewish activity clarifies itself.

How many of these Jew-haters and Christ-lovers — ironically the two often coincide in the individual, despite Christ being a Jew — have bothered to study the Jews, not to find ways to attack, but to see what useful ideas we could borrow?

For example, Jews have managed to keep the parallel union of genetics-culture-religion intact while all other groups gave it up to become Christians. They are doing something very right, there. And Jews are inherent eugenicists as we see can from the Ashkenazi experience.

Formed in Israel, the Jewish people began when southern Syrian men took on ancient Italian and Greek wives, at a time when these ladies would have been Nordic. This explains blonde and blue-eyed Jews despite their origins being in the middle east!

If you thought Steve Jobs looked Jewish, surprise: he was formed of the union between a Syrian and an Anglo. Not surprisingly, this replication of the Jewish genetic recipe produced someone who looked Jewish.

Most likely, these Syrians were formed of an ancient branch of the Caucasian tree that hybridized with Asians and north Africans, with lots of inflow apparently from France and Italy over the years. There was possibly also Turkish drift.

In any case, once the Jewish people were formed, they realized how precarious their position was as a race-mixed (Caucasian, Asian, north African ingredients) individuals. They determined that they wanted to retain as much of their European DNA as possible.

To this end, they did two things: first, they preserved the maternal line, which came from Europe, by making it the foundation of Jewish identity; second, they shed population in order to enter Europe, and then shed it again.

Jews entered Europe through Eastern Europe and Spain, then made their way to Western Europe. During the middle ages, the Ashkenazim were formed by discarding everyone who was not a high-IQ professional, cutting back to a core group of around 350 individuals.

This probably reflected reducing their population to the top 0.1% by IQ, and it worked brilliantly. They succeeded as a group, despite problems brought on by homozygosity (too few genetically varied partners) that led to a series of nasty congenital diseases.

People love to hate the Jews, but this is mostly because Christianity has baffled the Western mind and at some level, people blame Jews for that. But there is much we can learn from this vital group and their eugenic breeding decisions.
