The theory is that Israel punches above it's weight class in the tech/startup sector at least in part because most everybody there has at least some military training.
- mrslave 9y agoInteresting. I would speculate the high average IQ is a more significant factor.
- danmaz74 9y agoAny source for "high average IQ"?
- rwnspace 9y agoIt's a reference to the notion that Ashkenazi Jews have an average IQ of something like 105, so have more 140+ IQs, and as such they are disproportionately represented in Nobel Prize winnings in the 20thC. Etc etc. I won't source for them (theres a Wiki article) since I think most of the variance can be accounted for by culture.
