I like Prof. Terence Tao.
But the whole, "I don't usually talk about politics, but now is the time!" bit is so tired.
It's giving "Guys! Before, this only affected you! But now it affects me! Fight for me! Save me!"π€‘
Albert Einstein didn't wait for his funding to be cut before speaking for others.

Yes, I've praised some of Einstein's views, and been critical of some of his views. That's not contradictory at all. That's how it's supposed to work.
I'm not saying Einstein never had a bad take.
I'm saying that Einstein recognized that "Science is neutral! It doesn't have politics!"π€‘ is silly.
It's 2025, and there are still people that haven't accepted the fact that there is no path out of this mess that doesn't involve:
1) People that aren't Black...
2) Advocating for, and fighting for...
3) People that are Black.
None.

Attached: 1 image As previously mentioned, here's what Einstein had to say about segregation: "There is a separation of white people and colored people in the United States. That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it." For the last 20 years of his career, Einstein declined almost all public speaking engagements, except those at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This photo was taken at Lincoln University, an HBCU.
