Mary Bancroft, to provide psychological profiles of Hitler and the German psyche. Dulles met with him on several occasions; Eisenhower read his report before the final invasion of Germany. It is quite difficult to track down this information; some of it can be found in the furnished links at the bottom of the post. It was Deidre Barr, in Jung, a Biography, who first reported this information. In Jung: A Biography,. author Deirde Bair tells us that Jung was “Agent 488″. He secretly worked for the Office of Strategic Services, which was the predecessor to the CIA. His first contact with the OSS was through his patient Mary Bancroft. She worked for Allan Dulles who was the OSS chief in Switzerland and later became the first Director of the CIA. In 1941, during World War II, Jung’s job was to analyze the psychology of leaders. In return Jung became privy to top-secret Allied intelligence. In 1945, General Dwight Eisenhower read Jung’s ideas for persuading the German public to accept defeat. Allan Dulles relied on Jung’s psycholgical advice, including Jung’s prediction that Hitler would kill himself. Later, Dulles said that “nobody will probably ever know how much Professor Jung contributed to the Allied cause during the war… [and that his work needed to remain] highly classified for the indefinite future.” On one of these trips, Hyde traveled from Lyon to just inside the Swiss border where he was met by car by Mary Bancroft. Mary got out of the car; kissed Henri on both cheeks, and drove off in another car with a man. Hyde drove Mary’s car to the Geneva Airport, picked up Paul Mellon (O.S.S.-MO) who had just flown in from England. Hyde drove Mellon to a beautiful old hotel overlooking Lausanne where Jung was waiting for him upstairs in a hotel room. Mellon’s mission was to hear Jung’s psychoanalysis of Hitler’s mind and the German collective unconscious. Hyde waited for Mellon in the hotel lobby, then drove Mellon back after his meeting with Jung. Paul and Mary Mellon had been patients of Jung’s since 1938. Mellon wanted to see Jung again during the war; family therapy revisited. Paul and Mary, husband-wife patients of Jung, had raved to their brother-in-law OSS Station Chief London, David Bruce, who had married Paul’s sister Aisle, about Jungian psychoanalysis. https://jungcurrents.com/carl-jung-spy-488#.

The replacing of loanwords in Turkish is part of a policy of Turkification of #Atatürk. The #Ottoman #Turkish #language had many loanwords from #Arabic and #Persian, but also European languages such as #French, #Greek, and #Italian origin—which were officially replaced with their Turkish counterparts suggested by the Turkish Language Association (Turkish: Türk Dil Kurumu, TDK) during the Turkish language reform, as a part of the cultural reforms—in the broader framework of Atatürk's reforms—following the foundation of the Republic of Turkey. Turkish Grammar by Geoffrey Lewis Publication date 2000 Topics Turkish Grammar Publisher Oxford University Press, USA Collection opensource Language English Incorporating much new material, this new edition of the standard work presents an authoritative, lucid, and engaging text, setting out every form and construction of pre- and post-reform Turkish that may be encountered in print, as well as colloquial usages.

“I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.” ??????? ??????? Richard Phillips Feynman (/ˈfaɪnmən/; May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist, known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as his work in particle physics for which he proposed the parton model. For contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 jointly with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman. Feynman developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions describing the behaviour of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world. In a 1999 poll of 130 leading physicists worldwide by the British journal Physics World, he was ranked the seventh greatest physicist of all time. He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II and became known to a wide public in the 1980s as a member of the Rogers Commission, the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Along with his work in theoretical physics, Feynman has been credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing and introducing the concept of nanotechnology. He held the Richard C. Tolman professorship in theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology. Feynman was a keen popularizer of physics through both books and lectures, including a 1959 talk on top-down nanotechnology called There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom and the three-volume publication of his undergraduate lectures, The Feynman Lectures on Physics. Feynman also became known through his semi-autobiographical books Surely You're Joking, Mr Feynman! and What Do You Care What Other People Think?, and books written about him such as Tuva or Bust! by Ralph Leighton and the biography Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman by James Gleick. Feynman played an important role in the Presidential Rogers Commission, which investigated the Challenger disaster. He had been reluctant to participate but was persuaded by advice from his wife. Feynman clashed several times with commission chairman William P. Rogers. Feynman clashed several times with commission chairman William P. Rogers. During a break in one hearing, Rogers told commission member Neil Armstrong, "Feynman is becoming a pain in the ass." “Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.” “Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.” “You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It's their mistake, not my failing.” ― Richard P. Feynman, Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character “Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.” “I have a friend who's an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don't agree with very well. He'll hold up a flower and say "look how beautiful it is," and I'll agree. Then he says "I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing," and I think that he's kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is ... I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean it's not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimetre; there's also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes. The fact that the colours in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate is interesting; it means that insects can see the colour. It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don't understand how it subtracts.” ― Richard P. Feynman, The Pleasure of Finding Things Out: The Best Short Works of Richard P. Feynman “I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.” “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.” “Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt.” “I... a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe.” #Feynman #quantum #mechanics ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF2tL8T9wRM

Extraordinarily rare 1892 flat Earth map by Alexander Gleason https://bostonraremaps.com/inventory/alexander-gleason-flat-earth-1892. Music: Dystopia – Luke Hall At first look Gleason’s map is visually striking but otherwise innocuous: a north-polar azimuthal equidistant projection, enlivened by a bright-red horizon ring, with two rotating “indicator arms” to be used for determining the times at different locations. It all looks perfectly reasonable—the projection has a long and distinguished history, and the arms seem useful enough. Things get weird, though, with the “Descriptive Key” on the back of the map, which ends with the sentence “The demonstration has reference to either consideration [sic]: the earth a globe or a plane—take your choice.” To make sense of all this one must refer to Gleason’s Is the Bible from Heaven? Is the Earth a Globe? (Buffalo: Buffalo Electrotype and Engraving Co., 1890, with an enlarged 2nd ed. in 1893). There he marshals Scripture, quirky interpretations of physical science, shoddy observation, and dollops of “common sense” to argue that the Earth is flat, stationary, and the center of the cosmos. Late in the work he announces and describes his new map: “We have prepared A NEW MAP OF THE WORLD AS IT IS. The map is finely executed and printed in six colors. It contains all the continents and principal islands and rivers of the world, also, all the principal cities of the earth. The circle of the map is fourteen and one-fourth inches, having a time dial on which is marked in bold Roman numerals the twenty-four hours of the day and the minutes of the hour. The face of the map is provided with two detatched[sic] radiating arms from the center to the Circumference of the time dial, the arms are held to­gether by friction, having a pivot socket at the center of the map. On the arms are stamped the degrees of latitude; by the operation or moving of these arms the relative time of day or night is quickly determined and read on the dial by the child or person who can read the multiplication table, or tell the time of day by the hands of a clock.” (p. 350) Gleason received U.S. patent 497,917 for his map on May 23, 1893. Like the description above, the application makes no mention of his flat-earth views, and indeed at one point seems to contradict them: “The extorsion of the map from that of a globe consists, mainly in the straightening out of the meridian lines allowing each to retain their original value from Greenwich, the equator to the two poles.” I read this as Gleason unwittingly fessing up that his map is, like any other, a projection of a globe or section thereof onto a flat surface. In any event, he presumably chose not to mention his flat Earth views in the application, in order to avoid the risk of rejection by the Patent Office. #Gleason #AzimuthalEquidistant #Map #ofthe #World #FE #Earth ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4FK8V1gGFU
