I'd not say smart but shrewd.
There's a distinction to be made there.
They like to "bend the rules" to their advantage.
Reminds me of Jamie Gold winning the world series of poker.
Shrewd also has an implicit coldness to it.
And hey, if there are rules, well, fuck 'em. See my post on Hitzig. Same goes for many Harvard researchers. Look at Timothy Leary and "Ram Dass". Regardless of how you feel about psychedelics...illegal experimentation is illegal experimentation.
Same could be said of the Persian people as well. Very shrewd in that part of the world
I'm not too familiar with Persia, but I'm pretty sure that the Silk Road worked to their advantage.
I was just reading about the Silk Road, and guess what?
Some Jewish people teamed up with the Khazarian Turks to do trade on the Silk Road. And the wiki article speaks rather glowingly about the Silk Road, when there was rampant slavery, trafficking, and smuggling.
Iran, they invented chess
I think chess is overblown I bit.
Also, it seems like it was actually India...
