  1. Let's see what Albert Einstein had to say about society:

    « Unlimited competition leads to a huge waste of labor, and to that crippling of the social consciousness of individuals which I mentioned before.

    This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future career.

    I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.

    In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion.

    [...]

    The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society. »

    -𝘈𝘭𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘵 𝘌𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘯, 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘚𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘮, 1949.

    The resulting #crater formed near #Einstein crater along the #lunar terminator where day and night meet. #Space agency officials published the #images on social media to document the aftermath of the crash.

  15. A quotation from Einstein

    Man usually avoids attributing cleverness to somebody else — unless it is an enemy.
     
    [Der Mensch vermeidet es gewöhnlich, einem andern Klugheit zuzuschreiben — wenn es sich nicht etwa um einen Feind handelt.]

    Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-American physicist
    Essay (1953-05-23), “Aphorisms for Leo Baeck [Neun Aphorismen], No. 3, Essays Presented to Leo Baeck on the Occasion of His Eightieth Birthday (1954) [Einstein Archives 28-962]

    Am 11. Februar 2016 werden im Rahmen eines #LIGO-Experiments (LIGO = Laser-Interferometer Gravitationswellen-Observatorium) mit zwei gigantischen Interferometern #Gravitationswellen gemessen, die beim Zusammenstoß von zwei Schwarzen Löchern vor 1,3 Milliarden Jahren entstanden sind. Diese sensationelle Entdeckung bestätigt #AlbertEinsteins "Allgemeine #Relativitätstheorie".

  17. Prior to the creation of the State of #Israel, two Jewish terrorist groups were working to cleanse Palestine of its Arab inhabitants.

    Much of the financial support for these Jewish terrorists came from the #USA.

    Against his better judgment Rifkin solicited Albert #Einstein to help the Stern Gang raise American money.

    On April 10th, the day after the infamous massacre of Arabs at #DeirYassin, Einstein replied calling the Stern Gang terrorists and misled criminals.

  19. The big reason Einstein would never have used AI

    The point of school is to grow your mind; the point of science is to discover truths about reality.

    We know that Einstein never would've used AI.

    The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful, and then only for a short while.

  23. “Private capital tends to become concentrated in a few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of the smaller ones,” Albert Einstein wrote in 1949 in the Monthly Review in explaining why he was a socialist: The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.
