“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”
-Stephen Jay Gould.
This quote is great because so was Einstein himself! He never saw himself as a genius, as a mind like no other. He saw himself as a guy who studied a lot and he was very dedicated to give that opportunity to others. He also spoke very openly against racism and was one of the few professors that thought black people at the time. Here are some great pictures of him in 1946.
I still don’t understand how and why textbooks cost so much money when -- listen, the royalties I get on the traditionally-published textbooks I’m in, I earn $0.0007 for every book sold. (As in, it takes about a lecture hall full of students buying brand new/non-used copies for me to make a single penny.) And the book costs $100.00, as a wholesale price, BEFORE it’s marked up for school stores. That’s insane.
Where the fuck does the money go, A, but B, and WAY more importantly: why the FUCK are STUDENTS the ones who are supposed to be paying all that markup?
“Less than 50 percent of Americans accept evolutionary theory — when all age groups are included in polling. This is despite evolution being the basis of biology and being accepted universally within the US science community. A smidgen of hope lies in the fact that the proportion of young people accepting evolution edged above 50 percent recently.”

Martin Luther King, Jr.: Unraveling a Co-opted Narrative - A Journey through the Multifaceted Social Justice Warrior
Martin Luther King, Jr., a towering figure in the American Civil Rights Movement, has become an icon whose legacy is often distilled into a sanitized narrative. Over the years, the complexities of his beliefs and the full extent of his activism have been overshadowed by a simplified version of his story—one that emphasizes a dream but often neglects the depth of his commitment to social…
And, of course, there are some white people who are calling President Biden's executive order "racist" because it doesn't specifically help white students. White people who think they're the victims of racism don't understand the concept of racism.
