All of the best thinkers in the world were of Jewish heritage. It’s not a coincidence. Of course this depends on who are the best thinkers. In my best estimate it’s these people: Eli Goldratt Richard Feynman David Deutsch Karl Popper (Notable mention) Albert Einstein Another non-coincidence is that these people were physicists. Popper was not a physicist by definition but he was a physicist for all practical purposes. He was a philosopher of science who studied physics and other fields in order to understand the difference between science and puedoscience.
