Thank you so much for your post, Hank!

Thank you for allowing me to have my views.

LOLOL! I didn’t mean it that way. I meant that I am on no mission to change you, Hank. We don’t have the same Spirit, but I love you anyway - over all your objections noted on a previous thread.

I see you have taken offense at my use of the word doctrine. I stand by the word choice, because it means “a teaching” – and you have been promoting The Autonomist on several threads.

It will not matter a fig if the entire world laughs at and repudiates what one believes if it is the truth.

That’s something I do agree with. Yeehaw!

It is frequently the case that people use their intellect without understanding what they are doing. This is especially true of those with highly but narrowly developed intellects, such as Einstein, who was, outside his specialty, often not far from an idiot.

Do you have any sources to back up those statements or are they your opinions?

I know, that's why you're laughing.

Well you know me better than that. I do not take offense at anything anyone says. I have no time for that, besides, it is almost impossible to offend me, because, depending on your view, I am too thick skinned or too numb to be offended.

I just thought it was quaint to call anything I say, "doctrine," since I have not pedagogical inclinations or intentions.

That’s something I do agree with.

I knew you would. It seems an inconsistency to me, but if it is, it is a good one.

Well of course, they are my opinions. You don't think I'd be posting someone else's, do you? However, I didn't just make them up. They are based on two things, what I have been told by a few acquaintences who actually studied under Einstein at Princeton, or knew him there, but mostly from the things he has actually said, like many of the things you quote by him.

Hank
