Well to be fair, I think that piece is meant to be quoting Einstein's description of Spinoza's God, and the term egomaniac has been in usage since 1890 so it certainly wouldn't be out of Einstein's wheelhouse, considering that Einstein and Freud engaged in lengthy correspondence.

I found this online and it was not attributed. When Einstein gave lectures at U.S. universities, the question students asked him most was: Do you believe in God? And he always answered: I believe in the God of Spinoza. Baruch de Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher considered one of the great rationalist...

However mean your life is, meet and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, ev...

I agree with you Big RR; I listened to the arguments in full and felt very much like democracy was hanging in the balance. I don't think there should be any immunity from criminal law for any office holder at any level in a democracy. Plenty of functional democracies around the globe have tried and ...

She loved the experience, because she loved me and I was clearly delighted with it all. I think she was a little embarrassed by the sex parts, which isn't a shocking response from a grandma after all.

Watching Speaker Johnson speaking at Columbia University while Palestinian/Hamas supporters scream at him in response. What a bizarre world where I am aligned with Speaker Johnson and grateful for his leadership. This whole protest thing on college campuses is troubling. I follow another internet bo...

One case that was only resolved days ago involved a family in a SUV in an underground parking garage who were swarmed by a group of plainclothes police who the fami...

I haven't been following this case - but didn't we have a situation in the last few years in which a father who had left his child in a car - child died of heatstroke - was tried for murder although there was no evidence (IIRC) that there was no intent? May be different laws in different states. Ho...

Prosecutors shouldn’t be elected, the fact that they are is one of the biggest problems in our criminal justice system. Elected prosecutors have to run on a record of convictions and typically have to advertise that they are tough on crime by the way that they handle cases, nevermind that the overar...

Here's the awesome hottie I created for your birthday in AI:

Ha ha. Yeah, nope - AI is out of my wheelhouse; have a dose of nature's perfection instead.


And yes, I recently re-watched some of The Shawshank Redemption.
