Curing Einstein's Disease (is Copyrighted)

'Einstein's disease', presently, is an incurable and often fatal
malady. It first surfaced in Germany in the early 1900s when Albert
Einstein, a man of low IQ, began having delusions that he possessed
scientific aptitude greater than that of the ordinary man.
The disease is most curious in that those who have it seem to be
proud of the fact. They, like Einstein before them, enjoy boasting
that they are superior to the ordinary man. But for people not
afflicted, the stigma of Einstein's disease is usually so great, that
they shun the afflicted like the lepers of old were shunned. When
contact is inevitable... the prudent course is to keep your distance,
humor them, then retreat as soon as possible. To do otherwise places
a person at risk of being harangued. Blood pressures usually elevate,
veins in the face and neck stand out, and fatal tachycardia can result
in both the afflicted and those with whom they come in contact.
'Einstein's disease' tends to infect specific sectors of a
population, most notably: those in academia. Universities, in
particular, attract the afflicted, because such need the constant
humoring that only others, who are similarly afflicted, can best
provide. Outward signs of the disease's presence include: Wearing
thick, horn-rimmed glasses, sometimes broken at a hinge due to the
clumsiness of the afflicted; wearing out of fashion cloths, or out of
season cloths--the afflicted are notoriously cold natured; carrying
over-stuffed brief cases just to seem studious; and having libraries
full of books about their idol: Einstein.
A recent ray-of-hope for those who have not yet caught
'Einstein's disease' comes from an independent science researcher
claiming to have found a cure. That man uses the computer name:
NoEinstein. He is like the "Pied Piper of Hamlin", bent on ridding us
of harmful vermin. NoEinstein's medicine: He says it is a form of
'tough love' that must be administered by force, if necessary, to
prove to the afflicted that Einstein wasn't a brilliant man; instead,
Einstein was just a moron with a cute, and sometimes caustic, manner
of persuasion.
NoEinstein says that a major hurdle to his convincing those
deluded with 'Einstein's disease', is the naiveté of the general
public, as is evinced by their placing the afflicted on pedestals of
superiority. He says the media, in particular, does that, because
Einstein managed to become a symbol of the intellectual elite. And
the typical areas of interest of those in the media don't include
science...
Examples of media darlings afflicted with Einstein's disease
include: Michio KaKu, a professor of theoretical physics at CUNY, and
a leading proponent of 'string theory'; Lisa Randal, the darling of
TIME magazine, who is a professor of theoretical physics at Harvard
University, and a proponent of her own "Brane" theory that allows
'other universes'; Lawrence Krause, a highly vocal professor of
theoretical physics at CWRU; and of course Stephen Hawking, a Fellow
of the Royal Society, whose ideas about Black Holes embrace Einstein
at every turn.
NoEinstein recommends his tough love for the above, and others
like them, but says that the disease has likely already reached the
fatal stages for those unfortunate individuals...
Since academia needs funds to satisfy the egos of those with
'Einstein's disease', NoEinstein recommends that all National Science
Foundation, and other funding relating to any research into Einstein's
ideas about the universe, be cut off. That is his tough-love for the
afflicted that he likens to taking drugs or alcohol away from those
who are addicted. NoEinstein says that the delirium tremens or
similar withdrawal symptoms are a necessary part of the cure.
The last hurdle to getting his cure of 'Einstein's disease'
accepted and put into mass production, NoEinstein likens to: Offering
water to someone with 'hydrophobia' ... Obviously, those reject the
offering. But they would all die, regardless. But he says that if
ordinary men--particularly those in government who have for too long
been snowed into funding the excesses of the afflicted--will unite, and
refuse to be intimidated by the superior attitudes of the afflicted,
then those sad people will be denied the 'fixes' to their egos that
they crave. Only by so doing will their disease dry up on its own,
never again to be the BANE of civilization.
