Nobody disputes that Santa Clara District Attorney Jeff Rosen is a skilled and seasoned prosecutor. So it shocked the local Jewish community — even in this era of appalling antizionist bigotry — when Santa Clara Superior Court Judge Kelley Paul effectively decided Thursday that Rosen’s Jewish identity precluded him from fairly prosecuting people who spray-painted “Death to Israel” on a university wall. Paul, shamefully, removed Rosen from the case. In doing so, she applied a racist double standard neither she nor any other judge in the United States would have dared apply to any minority group but the Jewish people.

Antisemitism has no place in Missouri, especially in our classrooms. Today, I signed House Bill 2061 to stand up for safety, dignity, and the fundamental right of every student to learn free from hate.

The terrorist who tried to kill Jews at the Michigan synagogue yesterday lived in Dearborn Heights. After the attack, the mayor of Dearborn Heights issued this psychotic statement explicitly excusing antisemitic terrorism

Proud moment: @ChyenaFreedman (my wife) agreed to join me on a podcast. She’s brilliant, deeply thoughtful, and sees the world from angles I miss. A rare chance to hear her perspective directly. Give it a listen: youtu.be/RPVp2_y2VPc?si…

ok so my theory that ashkenazi judaism was an unintentional eugenics program for a trait cluster that overlaps heavily with autism and adhd but isn't exactly either clinically: talmudic scholarship is different from normal scholarship. it's recursive pattern extraction across massive corpora, exception-finding, holding contradictory interpretations in working memory while searching for reconciliation, basically what we'd now call hypersystemizing. gematria (assigning numerical values to letters and finding "meaningful" correspondences) is literally recreational combinatorics with religious characteristics and for ~40 generations (~800-1600 CE), the marriage market explicitly rewarded this. the shidduch system matched talmudic prodigies with wealthy families' daughters. functionally, it's assortative mating for systematizing ability with direct reproductive consequences. meanwhile occupational restrictions pushed ashkenazi jews into finance, trade, medicine, which are all high cognitive load niches where the same traits would be advantageous the cognitive profile this produced is wild and lopsided. verbal IQ highest of any group, mathematical also highest of any group, but spatial ability decidedly not. that's a specific phenotype being selected hard the result: 0.2% of world population, 22% of all nobel laureates (110x base rate), ~30% of fields medals, 41% of economics nobels but here's where it gets interesting. i don't think this selected for "intelligence" as a clean construct. i think it selected for a trait cluster that overlaps heavily with what we now diagnose as autism and adhd, a cluster including intense pattern recognition, ability to hyperfocus on abstract domains, and reduced sensitivity to social consensus when it conflicts with logical consistency the genetics support this. the TBCB gene mutation linked to autism has a carrier frequency of 1:80 in ashkenazi jews vs 5:100,000 in the general population. in israeli studies, jewish children's ASD referral rates are 6x higher than bedouin-arab rates, and high-functioning autism specifically is dramatically more prevalent (29.6% vs 2.6%) baron-cohen's hyper-systemizing theory of autism finds that parents who score high on systematizing are more likely to produce autistic children, which is literally what the shidduch system was optimizing for across a millennium of closed gene flow it's probably not selecting for autism or adhd as clinical entities. it's more that the underlying trait distribution got shifted. the same alleles that in certain combinations produce clinical autism/adhd, in other combinations produce the kid who argues with the rabbi for six hours about a single line of talmud and then grows up to win a fields medal personally, i come from a lineage of rabbis dating back to 1400s lithuania so i'm basically a heritage breed at this point lmao

Everyone's talking about Purim. But we're also seeing the Exodus in real time. Pharaoh watched blood, locusts, darkness, and death tear his kingdom apart, and still couldn't let go. Ten plagues. Ten refusals. The Torah calls it a "hardened heart." I never understood it. Until now. The entire US military was parked on Iran's doorstep. Israel crushed them in the 12-day war. Every proxy gone. The US made demands that it could have just taken by force. Iran still said no.
