@jerryhello100 You would have to be totally ignorant of intellectual history and/or completely insane to argue that their are no great Jewish minds -- e.g. Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, Franz Kafka, Gary Kasparov, Julius Robert Oppenheimer, John Von Neuman, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Marvin Minsky, Isaac Asimov...the list goes on.
-
@zachromero Actually Mailer has made that point specifically: "The Soviet Union didn't fail at all, we deliberately bankrupted it."
-
I like many of Mailers stances but what he misses completely is that the infrastructure of the USSR was crumbling because it couldn't keep up with the nuclear arms race.
-
I'm fascinated by the negative comments posted to this interview. Both Mailer and Amis write remarkable prose and are, whether you agree with them or not, unfailingly smart, entertaining public intellectuals. Are those commentors who posted ad hominum attacks here able to approximate these acheivements? Or are they intimidated and, therefore, boorish and antiintellectual?

Only in a civilized country would Mia have his own show. what happened to our senses in the U.S. It's all payed for .We have a fractured culture and so few ways to get it the real important voices and info.The internet like 9/11 has allowed power to further its grasp over America n mediocrity .We are not producing much an index for the ends of nations.

I've not seen Martin Amis interview anyone before. He's very good at it.

It comes across very harsh indeed. I'm sorry but every time someone says that there are no great jewish minds, and insult them so ruthlessly, the word nazi jumps to mind.
I don't think that jewishness had anything to do with mistakes on wall street, nor does it have to do with jewish achievement . It doesn't matter what race or religious background someone has, what matters is what they do. The individual should be held responsible not the people. Socrates would be ashamed of you.
