Peterson's rebuttal to the numerical argument speaks loudly. Despite his dismissive attitude to the whole issue he felt the need to respond. Of his cohort of 140+ IQ individuals, only a portion actually have to engage in in-group preferences for it to have a huge nepotistic affect. Something that Jews and JQers have in common is the belief that Jews have a very unique culture-religion: a people set apart as it were. Based on the religious and cultural mores of the Jewish people, I find it very plausible that at least 1 in 10 (and probably higher) successful high IQ Jews engage in ethnic nepotism. This minority has an outsized influence based on their intelligence and influence that could have a massive downstream effect.
