![]() In truth he deserved both less credit and less blame for his two major acts. Later in life he often complained that the public had exaggerated his roles in both the hydrogen bomb program and in the ousting of Oppenheimer, and this contention was largely true. Ironically it is the two most publicly known facts about Teller that are also probably not entirely accurate. It's a phenomenon that is a mainstay of politics but Teller's case sadly indicates that even science can be put into the service of such misuse of power To me Teller will always be a prime example of the harm that brilliant men can do - either by accident or design - when they are placed in positions of power as the famed historian Richard Rhodes said about Teller in an interview, "Teller consistently gave bad advice to every president that he worked for". ![]() ![]() Teller is best known to the general public for two things: his reputation as the "father of the hydrogen bomb" and as a key villain in the story of the downfall of Robert Oppenheimer. Why would I want to talk to some bunch of dipshits who don't want to talk to me? G.Edward Teller was born on this day 106 years ago. Gerard boys and girls at WME blocked my email address but I think theirs still work. Which kind of writer would you rather be? Nobody will know how good your stuff is because nobody will ever get to read it but so what? You'll know how good it is. Do you really want to write puerile, woke-ass, groveling crap and be "accepted" and get "glowing" reviews and win nonsensical "prizes" and make some money and die and rot and be forgot? I prefer to write things that don't make me want to barf, things I'm proud of, things worth reading.and writing.and watching.and listening to. They call it, "Do well." If your work is published (and hyped) by a "reputable" publisher, you can be almost absolutely sure that it's vacuous, avaricious shit. The only writing that gets published (with rare exceptions) is writing that an agent, editor and publisher all agree will make money. The more it's rejected, the better it gets. In the last sixty years, my writing has been "rejected" in one way or another almost a million times. Pretty soon I'll do the other 5,000 or so thought-executing simpletons on my little lists. Imagine how good the other 34 must be! Kick off your shoes, lean back and watch the 11-hour audio book, the 13-hour multimedia video book and/or the only 42-hour movie masterpiece ever made. Here's one of my LEAST favorite chapters of the VIDEO book: You can READ, WATCH and/or LISTEN to all 35 chapters here: Each chapter is better than most whole books. It's also an annotated, multimedia VIDEO book, an authentic narrative nonfiction account of the decade of the sixties in San Francisco (and the rest of the last half of the 20th century in America), a novel, a biography, pure poetry, etc. "GINNY GOOD is easily one of the ten best books published anywhere in the world so far this century. Now I'm doing Film School Boys and Girls. I sent a version of this e-mail to around 10,000 two-bit punks who purport to promote good books. I've also finished updating Propagandaville, Newspapers, Booksellers, Book Prizes, Creative Writing Boys and Girls and Journalism School Boys and Girls. I added a multimedia audio/video book and a voice only audio/video book. If you want to see even MORE reasons Google is a dick, click this. ![]()
