I remember a republican coworker arguing that Interstellar’s concept of time dilation was super unrealistic and that can’t possibly be how things are. All this to say, I’m sure Einstein is about to be cancelled and relativity denied as hard as climate change.

I look forward to the collapse of civilization when all of the satellites stop communicating with our computers because our satellites are sending messages from the future.
Also, ruining GPS for everyone would be a really effective scapegoat for Tesla's full self-driving failures.

A customer told me they don't believe in space last night 😞
He wasn't a SeRiOuS intellectual though.
Need a sever lack if humor for that sweet sweet capitalistic greed.
Also, Einstein was offered a position as leader of the State of Israel. He basically said "fuck off and fuck Zionism."

socialism might be nice but just getting rid of billionaires is a great start.
Can't do that without taking supremacy of Capital. There is no path to keep billionaires from existing within Capitalism.

Most intellectuals are socialist
I think this short essay was the first thing that appeared in monthly review
Youd be hard pushed to find many who weren't
I don't think they say "No intellectual would be a socialist", instead they say intellectuals are bad and evil. It's a classic pattern among dictator cults of personality.
I can recommend this piece from Hobo Johnson ("why socialism by Albert Einstein")
