University Makes 80,000 Einstein Documents Publicly Available

orgelspieler writes "The Hebrew University of Jerusalem has scanned in some 80,000 of Albert Einstein's documents. According to the university's press release, the documents cover more than just scientific matters. The broad range of subjects include his solution to the Jewish-Arab conflict, a postcard to his mother, and a letter from one of his mistresses asking for assistance getting to America. Some documents have been translated and annotated and are completely searchable."

    Not just a genius but had numerous mistresses when most nerds cant even get 1 girl. Yet another reason to admire him more.

    When you have money and/or fame women are not hard to get. Their basic nature is that of the whore, after all. That's not a totally bad thing, I mean it has the effect of making it more likely their children will be provided for. It is like a biological imperitive. It's still whorish though because it has nothing to do with who the man is, only with what he has. Anyway that is why women like to be with wealthy and/or powerful men. Not sure how wealthy Einstein was but he was well respected and quite influential to say the least.

    Most nerds aren't world famous, don't make huge waves in entire disciplines, and don't command the respect Einstein did and still does. The whore-nature in most women passes them up. There is no gold for them to dig and no prestige for them to vicariously soak up and no promise that he can give any children a good life. But a nerdy, dorky, ugly man like Bill Gates had no problem meeting Melinda because he is quite wealthy. Not hard to see the pattern here.
