@Norwegian-Mugabe Einstein was arguing against the Copenhagen interpretation here, working to develop Bohmian Mechanics as a derivative of Pilot Wave Theory. Suggesting instead that it is reflecting Trump as a Holy Savior of America is exactly the kind of mystical obscurantism that works to actually further develop America's H1B fascism: e.g., see the rapid rise in migration to the UK right after the conservative Brexit program, on the order of 4x, in spite of their proclamations against migration while running. Money talks.
One can't eat The Leader's supposed Alignment with God, nor sleep underneath the roof of His Aryan Heritage.
Without materialist analysis, all one has is emotional hysteria.

Sure would be handy.

@Norwegian-Mugabe You've made some good points about good fortune.

Einstein
There's a book 100 Authors Against Einstein which is, as described, letters from 100 scientists/professors mostly German and German Jews who had big issues with General and Special relativity. The short is it was a speculative ideology or framework being pushed through dogmatically without criticism. Very interesting story, involves politics, race, religion, money, usual suspects. Modern science / Western Civilization is still suffering the consequences of "relativity" if you ask me.

where he highlighted Bertrand Russell's ability to embrace new interests and relationships well into old age as a sign of robust health and a nurturing upbringing. There are striking parallels to Trump, who, in his later years, married a youthful and beautiful woman and embarked on a presidential campaign.
Maybe Russell was bright and vital, but he was seriously shortsighted. Wittgenstein is a far more vital character in my opinion. Worked in a hospital; wrote some of his works in a hut in Norway; designed a house in Vienna; stood his ground at Cambridge, briefly in WWI too. He was wealthy, but I feel his creative output and life experience is somewhat genuine at least from my hopeful view of recorded history. Trump married three times (?) to vapid super-models. He's a billionaire obviously very securely in the Epstein club. No high intelligence on display - and I used to think he was going to help America.
Like that Gatz fellow said, Trump, Kissinger, and celebrities surely can get piles of miracle drugs and life-extension therapy. What even is the discussion? Billionaires aren't going to help real people.

@Corngold Russell did nothing of value. He still lived a Peaty life and he seems to have enjoyed himself and his friends wives. The best thinker of the 20th century was Heidegger.
There is no point in only analyzing the world from a materialistic point of view, as there is more to this world than material. Anyhow, this is not what this thread is about. Kilgore is correct, Trump has superior Aryan genes. Clean bloodline.

Then you must discard Peating: it's the virtues of soybean oil and running in circles that "go beyond the material". India too is highly fixated on race background and secret super-material inner purity, and it is a dump for that reason.

Yep. We think mind and environment can overcome genetics (with the help of pharmaceuticals). Or, conversely, we think genetics determines everything and work within these imposed limitations (using gene therapies and pharmaceuticals).

I'm going to discard this sentiment. Don't care for Russell, but cheating isn't virtuous. Heidegger I think still pales in comparison to Wittgenstein. A lot of "serious" analytical types write off Ludwig for obvious reasons. Yet countless artists and musicians point back to his work.
You could call this serotonergic / psychological escapism. But, on the other hand, it shows language as the major cucking of mankind and thought. Humanity is about humanity in the literal sense of the word "about." But language is not about language. We have to understand that people are using language and thought, and that is what is shaping language and thought, which makes language "about" language. In other words, Heidegger is writing for a particular time and place. He should be read more like a novel or a painting. Germany became (or were always) incredibly autistic and detached. Trump is basically a clown.

It's rather about a discourse.
"Discourse determines how knowledge is formed, legitimized, and applied in society. It limits what is thinkable and unthinkable, visible and invisible, normal and deviant."Moreover, tamed people most often reinforce certain discourses and build tools (e.g. Facebook or cryptocurrencies) that support them. And then they tame people even more... I.e. there is a constant interaction between people (culture), tools, and narratives with various feedback loops between them...

Yep. BTW Why are these ancient German old farts still being squeezed?
Currently, we have far better interpreters of reality like for example Mexican Miguel DeLanda or Korean-German Byung-chul Han...
