“It’s a #Vichy moment in American #history,” Michael Roth, the president of Wesleyan University, told me... “Like I have a restaurant & if I #collaborate with the Nazis & don’t let any Jews eat here, then the guys who wash dishes will still have jobs. As you know, that slope is very slippery. #Appeasement doesn’t end well.”

"when you engage in the #collaboration, you actually encourage them to do even worse stuff.”

Text from article: ROTH’S VICHY ANALOGY IS EXACT. In 1940, the French hoped to preserve part of “free France” by making a separate peace with the Nazis and setting up a puppet regime under Marshal Philippe Pétain based in Vichy, while the Germans occupied and ruled northern France. The arrangement lasted only until the Gestapo decided otherwise in 1942 and “free France” fell increasingly under direct Nazi rule. Preserving a Columbia that is partly free is the same sort of fantasy. The rest of Columbia is free only until Trump decides to escalate his demands and seize more territory. Wesleyan has the same kinds of federal funding streams at risk as larger universities: research grants from NIH and NSF, as well as Pell grants to students and the federal student loan program. I asked Roth if speaking out puts all of these at risk. “Of course, I think about that,” Roth said. “And then I think that’s the classic collaborationist dilemma, right? You know, you collaborate with authoritarians who you know are in the wrong, in order to keep them from doing worse stuff. And I think when you do that, when you engage in the collaboration, you actually encourage them to do even worse stuff.”

"Open Call for Collaboration – Unified Energy Equation"

As the custodian of #TheoreticalPhysics on the fediverse, I invite collaboration on an article for a Unified Energy Equation, grounded in The Unified Theory of Energy. Starting with Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, it aims to redefine Energy across Scales.

Whether you’re curious or critical, your input is welcome. If no one responds, I’ll keep refining it solo.

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation F = G(m_1*m_2/r^2) https://michaelvera.org/Unified_Theory_of_Energy.html
