Of Interest: Have you ever noticed that many of the world's smartest are Jews?

In fact, I was actually wondering about this. I remember, prior to commencing my Economics degree and preparing for a scholarship interview, the results of the winners for the most recent Nobel prize (at the time) was released. Of interest to me were the winners for their game theory, Aumann and Schelling. Ariel Rubinstein, a famous microeconomist, is a Jew (haha, the last name gives it away). And I thought, wow, why is that the case? I found an article from Commentary Magazine here, which I found a good read. It really makes you think. The article made me go wow.
