   You cocksucker Israeli Hanson is again lost inside some nonsense.   
      
   Poincare's belief is simply bullshit.   
      
   The true motive and force behind inventions has always been the _need_   
   for them. Remove the need, and 99% of the inventions disappear.   
      
   Being particularly good at what you do, in general, doesn't outweigh why   
   you're do it, because many, many more people embark on doing it when the   
   latter is the case, large enough numbers to contain exceptional jewels   
   among them fit for just that type of activity.   
      
   Go back to Israel and fuck yourself some more in there.
