Avi,
I’ve done extensive work on the issue and the rabbinical claim that ashkenazim ‘think differently’ is true. It’s simple in that It’s a feminine cognitive bias, and is evident in everything from speech patterns, to word choices, to social norms, to professions, to the method of conflict, to the tendency to fictionalize and engage in social construction. It even shows up in antisocial behavior, criminal behavior, and most especially in lying. Personally I’ve found it fascinating. Because it explains why so many of the behavioral pseudosciences have been produced by ashkenazim – and even the method of argument across Rez, Kelsen, Dworkin and Hart: storytelling and seduction and seeking agreement, instead of testimony and truth upon which we can then discover agreement or not. Even the rather odd way that Einstein solved relativity with pictures instead of models, and why he caused the failure of physics in the mid 20th by re-platonizing physics and mathematics. And why Bohr, avoiding physics by claiming ‘just calculate’. Or why Freud, Marx, Boaz, and worse the frankfurt school – just literally made it all up. Or why Zinn and Harrari just fabricate stories that people want to believe. I mean, can we fix this? Sure. But it’s similar to the problem we’re seeing with women in education, academy, industry, and most importantly voting. Where women are the vehicle for face before truth, and expanding irresponsibilty. It’s quite fascinating. It’s just going to take a bit of legislation and a lot of education.
The other interesting observation is that the jewish recovery and restoration of jewish law, was in rsponse to the dominance of european law. And it turns out that the masculine and feminine traditions combined with our mutual use of law, is what produced our mutual advantages – even if, the jews could never develop a stable durable state, so focused on family and socialization, where europeans focused on politics and technology.
