It's true that he published many more pivotal papers than people remember him for. I addressed some specific and demonstrably false claims, though.

Also, I seriously doubt that a century on we still wouldn't understand gravitation, all considered.

Actually, you said 'relativity' and didn't correct Steve when he made direct reference to special relativity, whose paper was published prior to the one concerning general relativity.

However, moving the goal-post is something that should be expected from you.

In any case, it doesn't make much of a difference, considered that Hilbert arrived at the same conclusions published by Einstein at around the same time, someone says even earlier.

Both special and general relativity would have been formulated - with or without Einstein - during the same decade.
Einstein was indeed a genius, but has become something of a pop-icon, and you are buying into the legend that surrounds his name.

I had no idea I had such a following.

In September 1905 (received June 30), Albert Einstein published his annus mirabilis paper on what is now called Special Relativity. This paper contains - in the mathematical sense and with exception of the relativistic Doppler effect and aberration - no new results, but the derivation and the interpretation were radically new. Because of his axiomatic method, Einstein was able to derive all results on a few pages, while his predecessors needed many years of long, complicated work to arrive at the same mathematical formalism.

Comment #257846 by decius on October 1, 2008 at 7:37 am

This argument would allow you to say that relativity was just a natural evolution from classical physics. Which would mean Einstein was just a hack, and not one of the most revered physicist in history.

I didn't accuse you of misogyny.

You could simply be less aggressive and condescending, as a matter of common courtesy. I am sure that the highly intelligent women who complained can take any fair criticism and rebut it with ease, if it's not yelled at their faces.

Just take it as a friendly suggestion, and everyone will be better off.


To your question, the manifesto and the message of the chief blogger are not separate entities.
Actually, one could suspect that the manifesto is a sort of window-dressing, since it contradicts somehow the overtones of the blog.

Our Fanusi calls himself a Loyal Citizen of his emperor, regardless of what the emperor advocates.
That's subscribing to one's views, in my book.

Al,

I already did point you yesterday to what is, in my opinion, the relevant part: the denial in which Fanusi engaged as to the quality and content of the site.

Unless you agree with him that nicedoggies is a 'rant site', I made my reasons very clear - he is apologising for it, rationalising away its disturbing contents, minimising incitement to grievous and indiscriminate violence, pretending that he selectively failed to read relevant parts.

All this is clear sign of intellectual dishonesty, and I can no longer grant the benefit of the doubt.

Another revealing detail that yesterday I wasn't aware of: no nicedoggie poster is automatically labelled a Loyal Citizen, only those committed to its manifesto.

2.Any delusional internet-addict to be found in an echo-chamber.

3.One addicted to politics and/or religion.

4.Arduous and contrary simpleton.

5. Sociopath.

Honey did you see that Anti-idiotarian frothing at the mouth at last weeks dinner- party? If it didn't touch itself under the table each time it contradicted itself it would have been almost cute.


anti-idiotarian

1. (noun) Idiot

2. Person convinced that the world is in some way less impressive than they.

Today, whilst burning some incense to get rid of the smell of fried bacon, I was told by a passing anti-idiotarian that 'God would fill me with love for Objectivism if I woke up to the fact that I was a traitorous crack-whore fag-loving feminazi in need of a violent insertion of his 'gigantic' clue-by-four'. He then called my employers to tell them that I was a traitor to my country.

I am free to doubt every last word from a source of that calibre, who wouldn't hesitate to blow things out of proportion for portraying his side as being victimised.
Was it an attempted murder or what was it?
I would suspect anyone's will to participate in a demonstration which is organised by the like of the BNP as a sign of extremism.
I would call into question anyone's self-labelling as Loyal Citizen of a rabid supremacist and brand that, too, as a clear hallmark of extremism.

Comment #256873 by decius on September 29, 2008 at 3:50 pm

This is interesting too.

The brave emperor of dogshite.net recounts the events that lead to Fanusi's father 'attempted murder'.

The post comments on an external article, that you should read first.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article4799490.ece


Says his imperial highness:

Never mind the instant, kneejerk condemnation of the protesters as "far-right European extremists" in the first paragraph without as much as a hint of a justification for the charge. Instead, kindly note the barely contained glee of the "reporter" at the violent disruption of a peaceful protest by hoodlums, thugs and common criminals.

Heck, even the Völkischer Beobachter, in the Glory Days of the Nazi regime, would have hesitated to exhibit such joy at the news of deliberate and unprovoked violence against dissidents.
Which, of course, is all that matters. That the citizens of Cologne should have a say in the appearance of their city, a city that they've inhabited for a great deal longer than the Saracen hordes recently imported, is of course wholly irrelevant. This is no different from a bunch of pisslamic morons insisting on erecting a megamosque in the Vatican, and to suggest that any protest against such a move is "far-right extremist" only serves to tell us everything we need to know about the bias of the "reporter."

Imagine if Christians were trying to build a cathedral in Riyadh? His Majesty is pretty sure that the "reporter" in this story wouldn't be condemning pisslamic protesters in quite the same terms, if at all.

Again: Note how the only ones using violence, vandalism and thuggery are the pro-pisslamic vandals, yet it is somehow the other side that is labeled as "extremists."
The "reporter" is obviously trying to be cute here. No, it probably wouldn't be "conducive to law and order", but reasonable people would concentrate on the "why" of this, to which the answer would be: "because of 7th century barbarian savages who cannot and will not tolerate anybody else's right to have an opinion", rather than smugly chuckle at the "effrontery" of "right-wing extremists" daring to drive through an apparently "off limits" part of what used to be their own city.

Pause and consider the above quote again. Nowadays, the "police" of Eunuchistan are busying themselves with denying their own citizens access to certain parts of their own cities on the grounds that their mere presence is an affront worthy of police intervention.

THAT is how far down the path of subservient dhimmitude Eurabia has traveled.

Yet all the "reporter" of this story can find in itself is to chuckle at how the bloody "extremists" deserved it by daring to exist. Next week in the Times of London: A four page essay on how the Christian harlots of London deserve to be raped by pisslamic monkeys because they dare show themselves outdoors without wearing a burlap sack over their heads.

Note how the only party to this conflict actually guilty of violence are merely "anti-fascists trying to remonstrate", whereas the other party, who at no point initiated any sort of violence but were merely trying to express their disagreement publicly are automatically branded "right-wing extremists" who obviously deserved everything they got

Also not mentioned, and we can mention it only because we have other sources, in this case the father of our very own LC Fanusi who was actually present at the protest, is the fact that those "brave democratic anti-fascists remonstrating with the vile right-wing extremists" weren't "merely" resorting to vandalism, random violence and assorted other thuggery, there was also a "mysterious" explosion at a local train station preventing a lot of protesters from attending, an explosion that obviously wasn't nearly mysterious enough to make it into the Dhimmi Stream Media.

LC Fanusi's dad who is well past 70 years old was, by the way, nearly murdered by a couple of pisslamic turkish "democratic anti-fascist remonstrators", and when he appealed to law "enforcement" for protection against the would-be murderers, he was told that they had other, presumably much more important, things to do.

Yes, it has come to this. Neither the press nor the police are willing to do their jobs anymore. It is up to individual citizens to set things right if they're to be set right at all. Obviously, this has nasty implications, since such a solution will inevitably end up being a whole lot more messy than it needed to be, but it's either that or surrender to the Haji hordes.

We didn't start the fire, but it looks like we're going to have to dig out our own fire hoses to put it out, because it's becoming increasingly obvious that those elected to do so for us have absolutely no interest in doing their jobs.

It may "only" be Eurabia today, but you can rest assured that it will reach our shores too.

Unless we start hosing the Saracen savages down ourselves.

With lead.

Sorry, any website, and organization promoting a political view, does not automatically advocate killings or resorting to indiscriminate violence. You are playing with words and minimising the repulsive nature of the views espoused by your beloved and pathetic emperor.

I am deeply saddened by the trivialisation that you are attempting in order to exculpate a bunch of would-be criminals.

The language, ideas, racial expletives and threats here expressed are stronger and more poisonous than those contained in Mein Kampf.

Bright move, you subhuman sand niggers. Somebody really ought to give you a lesson about how the Angels in Denmark dealt with past, er, "problems." They don't give a flying shit about consequences, and they're quite happy to unload an over-under in your fucking simian faces even if it means life in prison and, unlike you medieval savages, they actually know how to hit what they're aiming for.

I expect the total population of pisslamic savages to decline dramatically in the near future, and I'll be ever so fucking happy to hear about you assholes for allah the moon god eating hot lead. I've had it with you. I've heard about the "silent majority of moderate puslims" being against all of this for seven fucking years now, yet you have yet to lift a fucking finger against your monkey brethren. If you're that fucking silent, then you're of no fucking use to humanity, and it might just be a good idea for Europe to quit using the old camps as museum pieces and start firing up the ovens again.

THIS time, they'd be doing some good.
