For an extreme example of how pro-Semitism can come about within an
individual merely through genes alone, consider me. Although I'm Catholic, I
became very pro-Semitic at the age of 13 when my powers of logic kicked in
(and my hair turned curly). I quickly noticed that a high percentage of the
thinkers I either agreed with (e.g., Milton Friedman) or whom I considered it
a worthy challenge to argue against were Jєωιѕн. Since I was adopted, a few
years later I concluded that it was likely that I was half-Jєωιѕн
biologically, (which indeed appears to be the case based on evidence my wife
dug up when I was 30). It's important to understand the chain of causation:
having a very Jєωιѕн-style brain (e.g., enjoying logical argument), I sought
out the best logical arguers to read, very many of whom were Jєωιѕн. (You may
object that my political views today don't sound much like those of the
majority of American Jєωs, but I was enormously influenced by Jєωιѕн
neoconservatives in the 1970s and 1980s. Having gone to some lengths to
expose myself to Jєωιѕн thinkers (not because they were Jєωιѕн per se, but
because those who most stimulated my kind of mind more than writers from
other ethnic groups), I absorbed from them a lot of typically Jєωιѕн
political stances: e.g., pro-Israel and pro-immigration.
Now, my pro-Semitism came about even though I was being raised in my
(adoptive) family, which has no Jєωιѕн relatives, and, in fact, has a slight
anti-Semitic mindset. (I realize my case is only a single data point, so I
recommend somebody conduct a formal adoption study of Jєωs and part-Jєωs
adopted by gentile families.) In the future, however, most children of the IQ
elite will have Jєωs in their extended relatives, which will make my kind of
pro-Semitism even more widespread in the future.
