He had to flee to Sweden. I have posted about it publicly:<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"oceanwp-oembed-wrap clr\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Apparently, the anti-authoritarian spirit runs in the family longer than I knew!<\/p>\n<p>My paternal great grandfather was a famous artist who made satirical anti-Nazi drawings.

I took a genetic test to confirm this, and it <a href=\"https:\/\/emilkirkegaard.dk\/en\/?p=7670\">shows I have partial Jewish ancestry<\/a>. Thus, the critics have a rather poor taste in calling someone a Nazi, when the person is both Jewish <i>and<\/i> has family history of anti-Nazism! Curiously, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Helmuth_Nyborg\">Helmuth Nyborg<\/a>, who is the most famous Danish IQ researcher, <a href=\"http:\/\/eugenik.dk\/static\/pdf\/Nyhedsavisen02feb2007.pdf\">family was also active in the Danish resistance<\/a>. Lesson: anti-authoritarians often end up battling totalitarians, whatever uniforms these come in.<\/div>\n<h3>Jewish intelligence and achievement<\/h3>\n<div>I have written in support of Jewish achievement many times, both in published work and on Twitter. It&#8217;s somewhat of a big mystery why someone who is allegedly a Nazi would publish research showing Ashkenazi Jews to be smarter than Europeans for <em>genetic <\/em>reasons. I have published two studies that investigated Jews or mentioned them:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div class=\"gs_citr\" tabindex=\"0\">Dunkel, C. S., Pallesen, J., &amp; Kirkegaard, E. O. W.

Jewishness is not a nationality, so it is not included in the previously reported numbers. In fact, a cross tabulation showed that 89% of Jews in the sample of comedians were Americans. In total, 17% of the sample was Jewish. There was no noteworthy effect of sex (17% among males, 15% among females). &#8230; The relatively large proportion of Jews is congruent with the high cognitive ability of comedians, the high cognitive ability of (Ashkenazi) Jews (Cochran, Hardy &amp; Harpending, 2006), and the cultural achievements of Jews in other fields (Lynn, 2011).&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tweets:<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"oceanwp-oembed-wrap clr\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Great review on Jewish intelligence and achievement.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JKQpWeF3pW\">https:\/\/t.co\/JKQpWeF3pW<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/P2BmPjyTHc\">pic.twitter.com\/P2BmPjyTHc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Emil O W Kirkegaard (@KirkegaardEmil) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KirkegaardEmil\/status\/1091130412737404933?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 1, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"oceanwp-oembed-wrap clr\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Personally I love the Jewish achievements.
