As a group the Jews have always embraced learning which cannot be said of all other religions.   60% of all nobel prizes go to people of Jewish decent.

Must have some extra brain in the nose

Adult responsibility is recognized at an early age. 

The community support is strong as well.  There is a lot to be said for working together.  I know a number of very successful individuals that didn't do so well on the first, second, and even more, attempts.  They still had a strong backing within the community and went on succeed.

I think an US vs Them mentality has a lot to do with their success of the Millenia. Just look at how the Rothchild's took over world finance from the Jewish ghettos to become the premier financer of kings and nations.

amish and mennonites are more examples

I agree on the us vs. them theory. 

How you handle the situation has a lot to do with your success.

The US people took on that mentality during WWII and the general population (us) worked together against their enemy, (them).

There are plenty of old sayings along the line "United we stand, divided we fall".

Rothschilds aren’t a large group and will likely suffer the same fate as the habsburgs

They have been around since the mid 17 hundreds so don't hold your breath on them going away.

I posted here months, if not years ago, that Jews were the smartest ethnic group. Ask Woofie, he might remember the post.

I also said that EAST INDIANS/HINDUS, are now the highest educated, most affluent group in America, and have overtaken the Jews as most affluent. 

However, Jews are still smarter, and the only reason the Hindus overtook Jews financially, is because ALL HINDUS own a store, gas station, business of some kind. The big, gigantic billionaires are still many Jews.

Joos and mooslims are more disciplined than Americans. Especially with the food they eat and their education. We would probably be alot healthier and smarter if we weren't eating as much poison as we do.

The main reason for the downfall of the Ottoman Empire was their stance on education. They found it to be less than a priority. For years they found that being militaristic and agricultural worked to their favor. The literally rate eventually rate dropped to near 10% and they became increasingly more dogmatic and closed to outside ideas. The rest of the world was advancing and moving on while they stayed stagnant. So while discipline plays a favor, without advancing socially and intellectually a civilization withers.

Their economy was built on conquering. And once that ran out they were basically effed

Ahh, no. The Europeans advanced politically, educationally, technologically, and socially. The Ottomans doubled down on battlefield techniques that worked in the past, but no longer were relevant. One example of that was their unwillingness to adopt firearms, despite being one of the first to use gunpowder. Instead their infantry stayed primarily with the composite bow. They failed to adopt a state run education system as in Europe, instead leaving schools to local systems that were non-secular with no uniform standards or delineation of primary and secondary education. They did create a state run, secular school system into the 1800's, but it was poorly funded. About the only bright spot of their military was Navel. That's because they had an intelligent guy with free rein to run it without the incest like control of the rest of the government and military. Basically the Ottomans were uneducated dummies.
