A theory on Jewish intelligence
Once I saw a comment on a video, “They are so smart, they invented their way out of 109 countries…” But I have a possible theory. First it has to be said that God will never be impressed with human intelligence, but rather He weighs the heart. But if Judaism arose after Akhenaten’s failed imposition of monotheism, as I believe, it would have consisted exclusively of people who were so persuaded by the idea of monotheism, in the abastract, that they found it impossible to revert to polytheism. That’s a high degree of abstract intelligence, most people would just go along to get along. Whatever works.
The Torah might be God’s mythology, but it’s just mythology, and you can’t use it as a title deed when so many lives are at stake. And you can’t use deception to force your whims upon the entire world. They won’t put up with it.
