Interesting. I wouldn't have guessed such a connection, given Einstein's apparent popularity in that particular circle. I find it amusing to be reading this important recommendation letter to a university on the same weekend that someone asked me to look into the background of an applicant for an important position at another university. This person might be a homosexual, and the contract for the position states that they cannot be involved in an "alternative lifestyle". In that regard, not much has changed regarding the politics of universities since 1943.

The head of Princeton's physics department wrote, "Is Feynman Jewish? We have no definite rule against Jews but have to keep their proportion in our department reasonably small because of the difficulty of placing them."

What the fuck? That is absolutely horrible! What piece-of-shit university do you work for?

      Wow, that context really doesn't help your case at all.
      - ThaddeusQuay2 15y ago
        What case? All I did was to compare something from 1943 to something that's happening now. I did not, at any point, state that I have anything against homosexuals. You are inferring that, simply because of the modified swastika on my website. You didn't take the time to read anything about me, so I put forth an explanation. I am being calm and logical, not emotional and reactionary, like you and a few others here. The picture he posted is out of context, simply because it is disconnected from the text of my website, which contains, in its first link, a set of three links which give more information about who I am. I gave a summary of those, and linked directly to them, here, as well as informing you of that comment.

  Unfortunately, there are some private schools that have this as part of their contract. For example: http://slatest.slate.com/posts/2011/11/01/georgia_university_bans_employee_homosexuality_in_new_pledge.html http://slatest.slate.com/posts/2011/11/01/georgia_university...

Einstein never got a job in the USA ...anywhere, from Caltech to the other coast. This is why his backers actually made an institute for him (IAS). Oddly, his presence was perhaps the only reason why Feynman wanted to be at Princeton (besides his ego, oc). And yes, E. was a jerk to his family, at the very least: http://www.giagia.co.uk/2010/03/23/ada-lovelace-day-2010/ http://www.giagia.co.uk/2010/03/23/ada-lovelace-day-2010/

  Actually, he might have been much worse than that. I haven't read this yet, partly because it's 2,825 pages with 3,683 footnotes, but I'm guessing there's some truth buried in that length. It's a free download. http://jewishracism.com/SaintEinstein.htm http://jewishracism.com/SaintEinstein.htm (The Manufacture and Sale of Saint Einstein, by Christopher Jon Bjerknes, 2006)

    Oh - innuendo, and argument from...length of prose. I looked up the "author" you cite - here are characteristic excerpts from his blog: "Human beings have an enemy that has always sought to control the leadership of humanity to guide it into death. That enemy is the Jew...The Jews want to destroy creation. They will kill and destroy wherever and whenever they can. You are their target, and you lie still waiting for the bullet to reach you." No, I'm not going to read any more of his or your bullshit, no matter how deep he or you pile it up. Please go away.

      So what? Just because someone says something you don't like, doesn't mean that they are wrong about something else. "An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is an attempt to negate the truth of a claim by pointing out a negative characteristic or belief of the person supporting it."

  Thanks for the advertising, but since the inference is negative, and especially since you are calling for me to be banned, I guess I'll have to say a few words that I have not previously had to on HN. I am a Nazi, but I don't see myself as one of today's nazis (#1), most of whom do little more than burn books and pick useless fights. I am a scientist who aligns himself with original Nazi thought, which came from the founders of the political party, as well as from those who influenced those founders, namely German philosophers who wrote big, dense books. From this, you can take the fact that I care (and do so pretty much to the exclusion of all else) about making progress, by which I mean humans directing their evolution in a positive manner. Therefore, the only people I hate are the ones who purposely do not do the best that they can with what they have, and those who intentionally commit acts which impede progress. The latter is why I care deeply about defeating censorship, in every form. If someone truly cares about progress, and there's something that we can do together, then I'll gladly work with them. It wouldn't matter to me if they also just happen to be a jew or a homosexual or anything else which nazis apparently hate. The bottom line is that real Nazis care about progress, and if the original ones had today's scientific knowledge, they likely would have had different attitudes towards race and sex. Think about it: They didn't even know about DNA. If Nazism had started fifty years later, Mein Kampf would have been profoundly different. By attempting to disparage me, through inference, you align yourself, accidentally, with today's nazis, because you both see Nazism only from a historical perspective, one which cannot possibly grow with new knowledge. I have contributed positively to HN, so there is no reason for me to be banned, and you calling for that to happen is very nazi-like. If you want to know more about me, you should look at the three links answering the question of whether I am a Nazi, which are located on the first link on my website, and which I shall repeat here as #2a, #2b and #2c. The research I was asked to do was merely to check on whether an allegation was a fact, as part of a greater effort of due diligence, an effort being conducted by others, those who would make a decision based on all of the facts obtained. I don't directly work for the university, and I dislike most universities because I see their policies as being against progress. I also have no personal opinion about that man, and that will not change, regardless of what I find out about him. #1: Notice the lowercase "n", which I use to identify those nazis who I do not consider to be "real", which is in the sense of when I use uppercase "N". #2a: http://comments.deviantart.com/4/2240268/532905771 http://comments.deviantart.com/4/2240268/532905771 #2b: http://comments.deviantart.com/4/2240268/519933389 http://comments.deviantart.com/4/2240268/519933389 #2c: http://djangodurango.com/?p=46 http://djangodurango.com/?p=46
