  • Just to be factual; This letter was signed by Einstein among others, and not written by him. Also, yes Einstein was a smart guy, and a famous physicist who publicized some grand theories. He was not however a political expert. So while you may agree with his views on the state of Israel, don't proclaim it as the absolute truth because Einstein said it. Because he was a layman in these matters. A well informed and smart layman, but still a layman.

    The reason for this rant is that you can find way too much doctors and Phd's today wo will give opinions on things like climate change or Corona vaccins, while their field of expertise is something like ancient history or oil drilling. And people are swallowing it because someone really smart said it, and it gives them a way to ignore the real experts.

    Back to the letter above, the alphabetically second person to sign the letter was Hannah Arendt, and she was a philosopher and an expert on the works of totalitarian governments. So if you want to give weight to this letters by using the name if one of the signees, I'd advise to use her name. And mention Einstein as an aside just to get the clicks.

  • For me: Mini breaks and short walks help get my head clear, or at least less foggy. Explaining it to someone else also helps, even if the other person is imaginary (which is in most cases for me). Note taking can also help, but I suck at it. When I did do it, my best notes are (for coding) files with a code example containing lots of comments.
