BellCurve

On his Website, among many interesting things, Yggdrasil writes about The Bell Curve (http://home.ddc.net/ygg/ms/ms-01.htm).
His review is under the heading "Talking in Code", and indeed he tries very hard to find some deeply coded hidden meaning buried within The Bell Curve.
Herrnstein and Murray go out of their way to tell their readers that the whole purpose of the book is to warn about the emergence of a new "Cognitive Elite". Ygg dismisses that warning as unimportant.
I can't understand how he could miss the obvious!
Let's think about this from a jewish perspective. What is the jew's biological advantage over white folks? It is that they are able to out-smart Whites collectively, with the average IQ for the Ashkenazi jew variously estimated to fall somewhere between 108 and 116.
Any given jew is not necessarily smarter than any given caucasian American. It is the fact that they are collectively smarter that gives them their edge.
Now Herrnstein and Murray point out that "the invisible migration of the twentieth century has done more than let the intellectually able succeed more easily. It has also segregated them and socialized them." (p.513)
In other words, what is happening is that intellectually gifted White folks are starting to form a cohesive sub-society within the larger structure of US society.
They are forming a segregated sub-society, and they're smart.
Just like the jews themselves!
OK, let's do the numbers.
Let's assume a 2% jewish population, about 5.6 million, and an average jewish IQ of 116, a high estimate.
The top 5.6 million White Americans have IQs starting above 130!
A perfectly stratified white cognitive elite would intellectually dominate US jews about as much jews used to dominate a well-mixed White population.
Wouldn't that be a message a jewish psychology professor aware of it would want to get out to his tribe as clearly as possible, avoiding fancy code and obfuscation?
