@baglemonkey / the mere fact you crtisize people like this makes you stupid. The jews MOST have a formula which makes them successful in a DEMOCRATIC society, what stops christians and muslims to do likewise? Understand things , as Nassim says when he told statistiancs what is not working tyhey were unhappy and this should be the opposite, because when people tell you this doesn't work it means they teach you something good. I actually admire the jews for being able without using guns to run tis

[MrKaniyaw]

Let me put it simply, there is a problem with the financial system and some of the top guys responsible are still in their places. according to Wikipedia Nassim has actually been threatened with his life because of his outspokenness on the abuses by major financial institutions.There seem to be a cap on the box not allowing any progress because the cap is at the maximum advantageous point and any move would make it worse.

[MrKaniyaw]

The IQ example is 100% true. Everything in life runs in up,down,circular and indeed unpredictable ways, and yet the entire educational system is linear and that is where people are brainwashed into taking up ideas and stretching them in a linear dimension.As a student and someone who has actually been involved with business from childhood I do believe education has as much damage as advantages. Evolution is the true way of describing things with unpredictable leaps forth or backward .
