"Money, money, money!" - While antisemitic stereotypes often overemphasize Jewish economic power, the actual impact is more directly visible in intellectual and creative production. The intellectual legacy, such as scientific and cultural inventions, tends to have a more universal, long-lasting impact on humanity compared to wealth, which is often temporary or confined to specific markets.

"The Jewish banks!" - Voltaire rightly said that most human beings are complete idiots. Their intellectual dimension is almost nil and they only know what they can see. Coins are within sight. Intellect is not seen with the eyes. It is therefore natural that they attribute to money a success they cannot explain, nor even understand. The billionaire is incapable compared to the intellectual. The former, if robbed, is left with nothing, insofar as his brain only allows him to practice the art of buying for 1 and selling for 2. The intellectual creates while he lives, for his mind rejects any lesser subject, such as that primitive art of buying and selling.

"Opulence, opulence!" - While rotten societies insult valuable Jewish works like museums and history films produced in a few months, Jewish intellectual and creative power is widely recognized as having a disproportionate and profound impact on civilization, often exceeding the influence of economic resources alone. Jewish individuals are often noted for success in business, but their impact on science and culture is far more statistically significant, particularly considering that they constitute less than 0.2% of the world's population.

"Science, science!" - While the flag of progress considers Judaism anachronistic, Jewish history has something different to say. Maimonides wrote 1000 years ago that there were many hundreds of generations of hominids before history began to be written, while modern science discovered the same fact through the discovery of Australopithecus in the 1920s. Moses de León wrote 700 years ago - in the Zohar - a perfect description of the Big Bang, while humanity began learning about that after the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation in 1964.

“The Jewish lobby!” - It is striking that the self-styled developed world has never even assumed that there is a kernel of truth in the Hebrew patriarchs' connection to God and that the strong Jewish intellectual track record is connected to a long-standing cultural emphasis on education, literacy, and questioning, which originated in religious study (Tanach, Talmud and so on) and transitioned into secular intellectual pursuits. In the meantime, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of blessed memory, the seventh leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement, is frequently placed at the center of various conspiracy theories regarding Jewish power, hidden agendas, and political influence.

These accusations are not surprising in a world that has become utterly non-intellectualized and where having a foul mouth and being envious and vain has become a profitable profession for everyone. To assume that Schneerson, the Baal Shem Tov, or King Solomon could explain the world in such an animalistic and simplistic way would be to assume the absurd.

Jewish law (Halakha) and ethical tradition (Mussar) view vanity, envy, and slander as destructive forces that sever a person's connection to divine society. Vain, envious, and slanderous people cannot contribute to Creation; they are amorphous, useless beings, born to destroy what they cannot even comprehend—that which is worthy and elevated.

The envious is the most stupid on Earth. Envy robs him of his happiness and focus. Our Sages quote Proverbs 14:30 to explain that envy physically and spiritually consumes the person from within. Envious person essentially disputes God's decision on how to distribute blessings. The result is to waste his entire life butting his head against the wall, while in the surrounding society the divine work is born and prospers.

The slanderous people are worse than the killers, as it "kills" three people: the speaker, the listener, and the person spoken about. In the Torah, the consequence for slander was Tzara'at (a skin malady), which required the person to sit alone outside the community to reflect on how he killed himself and others. Moreover, It is difficult to imagine a degenerate with so little brain mass, as he denies God’s existence, as he feels his words are unheard by the Divine.

In turn, there is still the pathetic vain person who is a genuine clown who should spend his entire life chained to a stage so that children can learn what not to be. Vanity is the only character trait that Maimonides advises avoiding completely, as the Talmud states that God says of a prideful person, "He and I cannot dwell together in the world" (Sotah 5a). A person should strive for extreme humility to counteract any tendency toward pride. The principle of Tzniut (modesty) requires a person to avoid boastful or extravagant postures.

In life, it is forbidden to be a useless person who serves no purpose other than to eat, sleep, and waste resources. The concept of Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World) teaches that while God created the world, it is broken and requires human effort to "repair" or perfect it. This is viewed as a partner-like collaboration between God and humanity, where human actions—such as social justice, charity, and ethical living—bring the world closer to its final, harmonious state.

Judaism and Christianity are close brothers. According to these theological and philosophical perspectives, humanity is not just meant to occupy the world, but to "work it and take care of it" (Bereshit 2:15) to honor the Creator and bring out the latent potential of the "very good" world that was made. It is considered the responsibility of human beings to contribute to divine creation by improving the world. This is often framed as a partnership or co-creation, where humans act as caretakers or stewards of a world that is inherently good, but incomplete, leaving room for human intervention and refinement.

The descendants of King David are destined to play a central role in the future of the world. Both traditions emphasize a Davidic line that even leads to a messianic figure. We will not comment here on the Jewish perspective, as there are recent facts that could lead to misinterpretations. Something else is of interest. There are approximately 2.4 billion Christians in the world, making it the world’s largest religion. They constitute around 30% of the global population, with the highest numbers located in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, Europe and Eurasia.
