  "Of the components of IQ tests, Ashkenazim do well on verbal and mathematical questions but score lower than average on visuo-spacial questions. In most people, these 2 kinds of ability are highly correlated. This suggests that some specific force has been at work in shaping the nature of Ashkenazi intelligence, as if the population were being adapted not to hunting, which requires excellent visuo-spatial skills, but to more urban occupations served by the ability to manipulate words and numerals." --- Nicholas J. Wade 2014 _A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History_ pg202

  "The new technology will replace, or has already replaced, many of the middle human skills -- the production line worker, the office clerk, now increasingly the middle manager. But it has rewarded the rarer skills, creating an international cognitive elite of 'highly skilled' people for whom the new communications open up the widest possible market for their skills. Like most elites, the cognitive elite tend to be a bit above themselves, are rather arrogant, and think they can set their own standards. They are 'alienated from society' as a result." --- James Dale Davidson & William Rees-Mogg 1997, 1999 _The Sovereign Individual_ pg365

  "[Otto Ammon] listed '3 groups of mental traits which are largely decisive in the place which a man will occupy in life.' These were: 1. Intellectual traits; among which I included all that belong to the rational side of man-power of quick comprehension, memory, power of judgement, power of invention, and whatever also belongs to this field. 2. Moral traits; namely, self control, will power, industry, perseverance, moderation, regard for family obligations, honesty and the like. 3. Economic traits; such as 'business ability', 'organizing talent', technical skill, caution, clever calculation, foresight, thrift and so on. To these mental traits he added: 4. Bodily traits; power to work, endurance, power of under-going exertions and of resisting excitements of every kind, vigour, good health, etc." --- James Dale Davidson & William Rees-Mogg 1997, 1999 _The Sovereign Individual_ pg211 (citing Carlos C. Closson 1899 "Some Social Applicaitons of the Doctrine of Probability" _Journal of Political Economy_; Adrian Darnell 1991 _Early Mathematical Economists_ vol4)

  "Bishops granted indulgences to local lords who would build or repair river crossings and maintain hospices for travelers. An order of monks, established by St. Benezet, the Freres Pontifes, or 'brothers of the bridge', built several of the longest bridges then existing, including the Pong d'Avinon, a massive 20-arch structure over the Rhone with the combination chapel and toll-booth at one end. Even London Bride, which stood until the 19th century, was constructed by a chaplain and financed in part by a contribution of 1K marks from the papal legate. The Church also helped incubate a more complex market. Cathedral construction, for example, differs in kind from public infrastructure, like bridges and aqueducts. In principle at least, Church structures were used only for religious services and not as thoroughfares for commerce. Yet it should not be forgotten that construction of churches and cathedrals helped create and deepen markets for many artisanal and engineering skills." --- James Dale Davidson & William Rees-Mogg 1997, 1999 _The Sovereign Individual_ pg79 (citing Frances Gies & Joseph Gies 1994 _Cathedral, Forge, and WaterWheel: Technology and Invention in the Middle Ages_ pp148-154)

  "Most talent agreements contain a 'morals' clause, which grants the producer the right to terminate in the event an actor commits any act that is contrary to or ridicules public morality or tends to shock or offend the community. The clause, which protects the producer against adverse publicity that might affect the box office success of a film, is generally written to cover not only criminal acts but also political activity & other conduct that would not constitute a crime." --- Paul A.

  "Unlike the highland Scots or the Ulster Scots, most Scots immigrating from Scotland to the USA, for example, did not form enclaves, but tended to assimilate into the general population. They were noted for ther industriousness and many brought industrial skills still scarce in America. Even in the late 20th century, Americans of Scottish ancestry had incomes significantly above the national average. Scots in general achieved prominence and prosperity in America from the beginning. 9 men of Scottish ancestry were generals under George Washington, constituting more than one-third of all his brigadiers. Nearly one-fifth of the members of the congress that adopted the Declaration of Independence were of Scottish extraction, as were two-thirds of the governors of the original 13 states. Over time, more than 100 men of Scottish ancestry became governors of American states and 30% of all US Supreme Court Justices from 1789 to 1882 were of Scottish ancestry." --- Thomas Sowell 1998 _Conquests and Cultures_ pp72-73 (citing Gordon Donaldson "Scots" in Stephan Thernstrom et al. _Harvard Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Groups_ pg915; Gordon Donaldson _The Scots OverSeas_ pp104,109,114-116,123; US census bureau 1982 Current Population Reports P-23 #116 _Ancestry and Language in the United States 1979 November_ pp12,13)

"Thus saith the Lord GOD: Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel; remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; take away your exactions from My people, saith the Lord GOD. Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah..." --- Ezekiel/ יחזקאל/ Yechezqal 45:9-
"Now this is the mitzvoth, the statutes, and the ordinances, which HaShem your God commanded (Moshah/Moses/Musa) to teach you, that you might comply-with/execute/carry-out/fulfill/do them in the land to which you go to possess... Hear, oh Israel; HaShem our God, HaShem is unique. And you must love HaShem your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words, which I command you this day, must be in your heart; and you must teach them diligently to your children, and must talk about them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the path, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. And you must bind them like a sign on your hand (so you will often see them), and as a sign on your fore-head between your eyes (so others with you will often see them). And you must write them on the door-posts of your house, and on your gates (so those who enter or pass by will see them)." --- Deuteronomy/ דברים/ deberim/debrim/words 5-6

  "In Cleveland 32% of the black labor force had been engaged in skilled trades in 1870, but only 11% were so employed by 1910. Southern black males had a stronger grip on skilled trades than their northern brothers, owing to the relative absence of immigrant competition. In New Orleans, blacks remained strong in the buildling trades well into the 20th century, and in Savannah they doubled their representation in several trades between 1870 and 1880... higher infant mortality than for whites, higher rents for inferior quarters, and lower wages for the lowest jobs." --- Howard P. Chudacoff & Judith E. Smith 1975, 1988 _The Evolution of American Urban Society_ pg119

  "Data from the United States Department of Labor [US DoL] reveals that 4 Muslim charities under federal investigation for ties to terrorism applied for high-tech, or H-1B visas, on behalf of at least 16 workers over the past few years. Three of the charities -- the Global Relief Foundation of Bridgeview, IL, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development in Richardson, TX, and the Benevolence International Foundation of Palos Heights, IL -- had their assets frozen by the Treasury Department after the [2001] September 11 attacks. The fourth, Islamic Relief Worldwide in Burbank, CA, accepted $50K from an alleged bin Laden front group at its British office, according to Treasury officials. The H-1B program grants non-immigrant visas to nearly 200K 'temporary' foreign workers every year to fill high-tech positions. The cost to applicants is $1K per visa, which allows a foreigner to stay in the United States for up to 6 years -- and later apply for permanent residency Applicants are required to have at least a bechelor's degree in a field related to their proposed employment [but that has never been enforced]. This foreign employment program, launched in [1990], has quickly evolved into another all-purpose visa give-away. Fashion models, artists, and 'essential support personnel' for foreign entertainers or athletes are among the 'highly skilled' [though there is no skill level requirement] workers eligible for H-1B status." --- Michelle Malkin 2002 _Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals, And Other Foreign Menaces To Our Shores_ pg18

  "Bricks were already in use around 9KBCE in an expanse of desert in the Middle East. In the deep valley of the River Jordan, hundreds of meters below sea-level, Neolithic man created the city of Jericho. The residents of this ancient city baked hand-moulded flat pieces of clay in the sun and built homes with them in the shape of bee-hives. As early as 2,900BCE the Indus Valley Civilization was building structures using bricks baked in kilns. It was a process that required skill and precision: if it wasn't heated for long enough, the shaped mud wouldn't dry out properly. Heated too much and too quickly, it would crack. But if baked at the right temperature for just the right length of time, the mud became strong and weather-resistant. Archaeological remains from the Indus Valley Civilization have been found in the ruins of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, in modern-day Pakistan. Every brick they used, no matter what its size, was in the perfect ratio of 4:2:1 (length:width:height) -- a ratio that engineers still (more or less) use, because it allows the brick to dry uniformly, it's a handy size to work with, and it has a good proportion of surface area that can be bound to other bricks with whatever form of glue or mortar is used. At about the same time...the Chinese were also manufacturing bricks on a large scale." --- Roma Agrawal 2018 _Built: The Hidden Stories behind Our Structures_ pp61-62
