I have always marvelled at the genius of the brightest of the bright
lights in generations gone by until not very long ago.
Up until the middle of the 20th C. not only were there stunningly
brilliant people, none of whom are matched by any in our times, but
they were mightily productive, particularly so since the conditions of
their lives were often very difficult.
"Where have all the geniuses gone, long time passing?", I asked myself,
paraphrasing a song.
Stephen Hawkings is no Einsteins, Heisenberg, even a Pauli or a Fermi.
Noam Chomsky is no Gustav Landauer, Bakunin or even a Marx.
Angela Davis is no Emma Goldman.
There is not one, but not one, female scientist today who approximates
the stature of Marie Curie.
The list can go on and on.
What happened?
When I came across the information below, I received my answer in part:
"Fluoride used by Nazis to sterilize inmates and make them docile.
Fluoride a key dumbing down ingredient of Prozac and Sarin nerve gas --
poisons of choice for tyrant rats."

"We are told by the fanatical ideologists who are advocating the
fluoridation of the water supplies in this country that their purpose
is to reduce the incidence of tooth decay in children, and it is the
plausibility of this excuse, plus the gullability of the public and the
cupidity of public officials that this is responsible for the present
spread of artificial water fluoridation in this country. However, and I
want to make this very definite and very positive: the real reason
behind water fluoridation is not to benefit children's teeth. If this
were the real reason, there are many ways in which it could be done
that are much easier, cheaper and far more effective. The real purpose
behind water fluoridation is to reduce the resistance of the masses to
domination, control and loss of liberty. When the Nazis decided to go
into Poland, the German General Staff and the Russian General Staff
exchanged scientific and military ideas, plans and personnel, and also
the sheme of mass control through water medication was seized upon by
the Russian Communists because it fitted ideally into their plan to
Communize the world. I say this with all earnestness and sincerity of a
scientist who has spend nearly 20 years research into the chemistry,
biochemistry, physiology and pathology of fluorine -- any person who
drinks artificially fluoridated water for a period of one year or more
will never again be the same person, mentally or physically."
