In broad strokes I agree, but my overall point was exactly about this facet, which I excerpt: > even with the scientific brain drain due to Nazi persection of jews and dissidents of all stripes My point was precisely about that brain drain, in particular the dismissal of "Jewish Physics" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Physik https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Physik), which drove the atomic physicists right into America's open arms So to watch the US destroy its seed corn with its own xenophobic brain drain is particularly ironic
