Some of my Quora answers

What do world class physicists "get" that the typical physicist does not?

In the words of Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Nobel Prize winner: Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and think what nobody has thought

Great physicists excel with the latter.

If MLK wasn’t killed how would our world be?

The death of MLK was a national tragedy. MLK spoke about the sanctity of the individual and I believe that had he survived he would have continued advancing this key message. The US would be the better for it. Unfortunately since his death, several political opportunists have distorted this critical stance in favour of Group Identity politics to advance narratives that have poisoned instead of healed the race divide across the country.

Have liberals compromised too much on their core values, whatever they may be?

Yes they have. I consider myself a Classical Liberal and believe that the biggest compromise has occurred in the area of individual rights. As a function of political expediency, all too often these have been surrendered in the face of Rousseau’s Will to Power which frames the malignant politics of group identity.

Do you think that all American institutions, not just politics, have become radicalized and divisive?

Unfortunately they are. The biggest problem is that the constructs of race and sex have been used to drive forward the will to power for a partisan elite. Group Identity as a tool matters more in this toxic mix than the ultimate sovereignty of the individual.
