TLDR: Hobo Johnson did a musical rendition of some select quotes from the article. If the article is too cumbersome to read, listen to the song. It gets a lot of the point across.

I honestly don’t care who wrote it. Point is an article was written 75 god damn years ago which specifically denounces the Technocracy proposed mere weeks ago. The article is well written, he doesn’t claim to be all-knowing because he’s good at math, he claims that he has opinions. They happen to be opinions that make a lot of sense.

ETA: Einstein lived through the rise of Nazi Germany. He has direct experience in a situation like ours, more than most living Americans. At least in this way, he is more than just some dude on this subject. He has seen a mock-socialism be attempted and failed, and had ideas about how to handle those failures.

    I was just about to link that Hobo Johnson track lol. It's already in my clipboard, and my link is for an alternative platform, so I might as well drop it anyway:
