Einstein's Famous God Letter sells for $2.9 million
Princeton, 3. 1. 1954
Dear Mr Gutkind,
Inspired by Brouwer's repeated suggestion, I read a great deal in your book, and thank you very much for lending it to me. What struck me was this: with regard to the factual attitude to life and to the human community we have a great deal in common. Your personal ideal with its striving for freedom from ego-oriented desires, for making life beautiful and noble, with an emphasis on the purely human element. This unites us as having an "unAmerican attitude."
Still, without Brouwer's suggestion I would never have gotten myself to engage intensively with your book because it is written in a language inaccessible to me. The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can change this for me. For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstition. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong, and whose thinking I have a deep affinity for, have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything "chosen" about them.
In general I find it painful that you claim a privileged position and try to defend it by two walls of pride, an external one as a man and an internal one as a Jew. As a man you claim, so to speak, a dispensation from causality otherwise accepted, as a Jew the privilege of monotheism. But a limited causality is no longer a causality at all, as our wonderful Spinoza recognized with all incision, probably as the first one. And the animistic interpretations of the religions of nature are in principle not annulled by monopolization. With such walls we can only attain a certain self-deception, but our moral efforts are not furthered by them. On the contrary.
Now that I have quite openly stated our differences in intellectual convictions it is still clear to me that we are quite close to each other in essential things, i.e; in our evaluations of human behavior. What separates us are only intellectual "props" and "rationalization" in Freud's language. Therefore I think that we would understand each other quite well if we talked about concrete things.
With friendly thanks and best wishes,
Yours,
A. Einstein
- He doesn't seem at all ambiguous about his full disbelief and disdain for religion. Interesting, as many religious people like to quote that he did believe.monospaced

Politically Correct OTD
Congratulations. Women lock themselves out more they already were
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/a…
"No more dinners with female colleagues. Don’t sit next to them on flights. Book hotel rooms on different floors. Avoid one-on-one meetings.
In fact, as a wealth adviser put it, just hiring a woman these days is “an unknown risk.” What if she took something he said the wrong way?
Across Wall Street, men are adopting controversial strategies for the #MeToo era and, in the process, making life even harder for women."- and so men don't look at them and think rapey thoughts all the time, the empowered woke woman will be rocking this in no time:_niko

EAT HEALTHY?
Looking for advice on with going on a Gluten/Dairy AND Egg free diet. We're doing this for our 7yr old son who has HIGH sensitivity each. He's also high functioning autistic, ADHD, Tourettes, anxiety. We just recently learned about his food sensitivities and also its causing leaky gut.
We're doing this for 3-6 month and then reintroducing food items to see which ones are causing the most issues for him. We're starting this diet after the new year... and all the options look horrifying to the taste buds.
Anyone else gone Gluten/Dairy and Egg free?
- I'm you're changing your diet embrace that change. Don't try recipes that offer an alternative to common dishes you will certainly be dissapointed.soundofreason
- For example, in your case give up cake completely. Try fruit salads.soundofreason
- BioNature makes really good Pasta.keewee
- @slinky congrats on doing this! been there w/ my daughter. Results are incredible. Be excited about eating healthy and the way nature intended in the 1st place!Krassy
- Krassy, your daughter have anything like autism, adhd?slinky
- I am on the spectrum and was terribly sick. I have had to cut out sooo much of my diet and in the end, ended up vegan.mugwart
- This helped me out so so much. Hard to comment on small message boxes.
#1 enjoy the change - expore - go to food marketsmugwart - #2 cut out all these foods but make sure you enjoy to search for new ones (ie dont complain your missing your cheese burger - go off and find a replacement)mugwart
- #3 go slow - cutting out but you will make mistakes - not all things that state they are gluten free are. Its all in the yeildmugwart
- #4 the more you detox - the more sensitive you get. So expect that. Buy active charcole. If you get 'hit' take some tablets and down the water as it consipatesmugwart
- and takes out all nutrients as well. Last resortsmugwart
- #5 dont have an end goal. I didnt mean to end up vegan, it sort of just happened. I have no moral high ground on this and only state this to illustratemugwart
- #6 avoid all supermarkets and only source from people/farmers whom give a shit.mugwart
- #7 cry at your bank balance. This is the best thing you can do for your kid (and self) but you can not really cut corners and it is not cheap.mugwart
- to make sure that your kid does not think they are eating boring:
https://www.thugkitc…
great source of insperationmugwart - my mate borrowed it and his two little girls would flick through laughing. he was worried about the swearing but they ended up eating good food and enjoying it.mugwart
- drop me a line if you need anymore help: summon[at]matleach[d...mugwart
- also dont rush into things. ie go straight to raw food diet. Your body takes time to change and also it might not be for you.mugwart
- one other things - yes to sounds first comment. Find and explore new things. example - dairy free cheese a day after eating normal cheese and your'll regret it.mugwart
- discovering happy cheeze (berlin company!) X amount of time after and your really happy!
that said a mate tried that company and prefers to normal cheesemugwart - shit sorry for so many - this is sort of my passion - proper plant based vits. Make sure B12 and D is there. Vit C is your best friend as is b12 yeast flakesmugwart
