The New York Times reports that Spain’s Sephardic Ancestry Bill...  would grant dual Spanish citizenship to the Jewish descendants of those expelled from the nation in 1492, is posing an increasingly tempting option to Jews in Istanbul who find themselves increasingly the targets of discrimination in the land in which they were born and raised...  Rafi, a 25-year-old Sephardic Jew from Istanbul, tells the Times that a crossword puzzle in a newspaper honoring Adolf Hitler made him think, “there is no future here.” ... A poll released in January by the Hrant Dink Foundation found that more than half of Turks believed that Jews are “responsible for most of the world’s wars.” Sixty-nine percent believed Jews were more loyal to Israel than their native countries.

If we take Watson's logic one step further, it may be possible to mold someone into a psychopath.

Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai (2nd century CE)
As they set out from their place above, each soul is male and female as one. Only as they descend to this world do they part, each to its own side. And then it is the One Above who unites them again.

What are the odds that an average person would instantly think of three identical ones?

On a macro scale, wealth inequality exists because it is much more likely for a random distribution to partition a fixed sum of resources between its recipients in a heavily unequal manner.
