I can't blame you. As a secular intolerant you enjoy the victory of secular intolerance shouting down a thread. fortunately there have always been those like Einstein who have experienced enough in their lives not to fall victim to the results of secular brain washing. Without this freedom they would be incapable of intuition.

the emotional intimidation of secular intolerance breeds snowflakes in universities. You may want to be a snowflake but I prefer having Einstein's inner freedom to be capable of intuition and respect for the ideal of the cosmic man. The thread was shut down but it served its purpose and that is all that matters.
People that use the word 'snowflake' in a bad way deserve to be shot.
Snowflakes are beautiful, fragile, a work of nature silently falling. Unique.
Unlike the repetitive ugliness of dead dogma, still the bully bunch.
Until those exuding secular intolerance piss on them. Then they become part of human waste as is the norm in Plato's cave.

Too bad for Nicky that Einstein was, basically, a secular humanist.

The only thing Nick has to fear is making a fool of himself, but in that respect, his bravery knows no bounds.

True, but a supporter of cave life dedicated to debating fragments is incapable of a quiet mind. They cannot consciously experience a contradiction as a whole. They must choose between sides. But it is the conscious experience of the wholeness of a contradiction that enables the intuitive mind to open. The sad part is that most never experience it and are content with nastiness and arguing opinions leading nowhere.

If you don't like arguing about opinions I suggest you shut up.

I agree.

So stay as the fire-light that extinguishes everything without ever extinguishing itself.

If you value our friendship, Dontask, I suggest you stop agreeing with him.

But don't deny the contradiction between man's spiritual and animal nature. Without consciously experiencing the struggle between our natures we remain captivated by imagination and residents of Plato's cave. The secularist reconciles our two natures through imagination.Secular intolerance and spiritual escapism oppose conscious reconciliation which is why it is both so rare and so valuable. Einstein could experience his nothingness so didn't get in his own way. Even that is very rare in this day and age.
