"That year, I had to speak more than 40 times on five continents about Albert Einstein.. " Did this very intelligent lover of Albert Einstein care to mention that Albert Einstein was also a passionate SOCIALIST ?
Read just his famous essay : " Why Socialism ? "
What would Einstein have to say today about the pernicious HATE RUSSIA New McCarthyism in the USA and mad preparations for a " winnable " nuclear war ?
What American scientists today measure up to Albert Einstein's ferocious political independence ? No Linus Paulings, no Carl Sagans , no Isaac Asimovs . Too many spineless lackeys for the military industrial complex. All those " distinguished professors " - voices for " crackpot reality " status quo .
And the " best and the brightest " university students are as clueless as the 1950s " silent generation ". Just a few can at least imagine an economic order different from American capitalism or a global world order without American hegemony.
No SKEPTICISM here ,Sylvester Gates.
