Does this list speak of a leader who strives for virtue in everything he does? Does it speak of preserving justice and working for the good of the whole? Does it speak of one who is sympathetic to the misfortunes of others? Where, in this legacy, do we find a “greatness of soul”? I can’t find it.

For so many years we thought the main cause of stomach ulcers to be stress and/or spicy food.
This, until somebody rediscovered that the main cause was a bacteria called Helicobacter Pylori.
A Greek practitioner was actually the first one in 1958 to treat ulcers with antibiotics and approach this infection differently than anybody else.
What does this have to do with Einstein, cancer and a possible cure?
Follow me a little more and I will get to the point.
I stumbled upon Dr. Tullio Simoncini's possible cure to cancer and could not believe how different and original his approach to this disease was and is. He thinks that cancer is a FUNGUS!
Let me make this clear now, I do not know if this cure actually works, if this theory is correct, what fascinates me about it, is his APPROACH just like in the example above regarding stomach ulcers.
I believe that the approach is more important than the thinking itself. It's where we direct our thinking that counts the most. All the thinking that comes after that is just a consequence of that premise/direction and nobody could explain this better than Aristotele.
It's syllogism or more exactly deductive reasoning.
Here is where Einstein also comes into play:
"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
And:
"To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science."
Said this, watch the video below to know more about the theory of Cancer as a fungus, open your mind, do not judge its correctness but instead its new perspective. After all, that is how Einstein got to think of the Universe as no one else before.
We all need to focus on this if we want to solve the problems of our world.
This is where all cures lie.

In college I did a lot of research in humor studies. In this video I give an introduction to humor studies, and I read from Laughter by Henri Bergson.
"The first point to which attention should be called is that the comic does not exist outside the pale of what is strictly human. A landscape may be beautiful, charming and sublime, or insignificant and ugly; it will never be laughable. You may laugh at an animal, but only because you have detected in it some human attitude or expression. You may laugh at a hat, but what you are making fun of, in this case, is not the piece of felt or straw, but the shape that men have given it,--the human caprice whose mould it has assumed."
-Bergson, Laughter, Chapter 1, Section I
Are there other topics in Humor Studies that you're interested in? Maybe I have a book about it.
Bibliography:
- Henri Bergson - Laughter
- The International Society for Humor Studies
- Local Monarchs of Davis
