These people had some kooky hobbies, but they actually had resumes that got them their jobs and the key qualification wasn't "completely unprincipled sycophant."
>kooky hoobies
>literally a Nazi
lmao
Werner von Braun was competent though, as was Parsons. Being a little silly is fine as long as you can do the job.
Tau Beta Pi is an engineering honor society with no Illuminati-style secret agenda. The only silliness associated with it is any concern over the "initiation rites and rituals".
Funny how joining a college club is more notable to this individual than “enslaver”
I did point out that he was a Nazi, and was attempting to shine light on the fact that he was connected to people in high places via a society that has initiation rites and rituals (what you are referring to as a college club).
I’m reporting you to the nearest IEEE branch.
That is what every society with initiation rites and rituals claims.
And the overwhelming majority of societies with initiation rights and rituals are not world-controlling cabals. Turns out people just like having rituals (and afterparties).
Where did I say they were a cabal that controlled the world? There are many famous and influential people that are a member of that society, and they swear oaths and go through initiation rituals. Believe whatever you'd like!
And most of those people are famous and influential because of their accomplishments in engineering, which it is an honor society for.
Wait til you hear about Phi Beta Kappa. Sometimes they even have pizza parties. Probably.
Jack Parsons was literally a genius though. Wernher von Braun's dad being Catholic is also not silly.
I think you left out the part about the Knights of Malta being a powerful group of individuals throughout history, with many prominent members in high places who are sworn to secrecy regarding their occult society and its dealings.
You're comparing their side beliefs and oddities to others main careers and expertise
I would hardly call being a Nazi a side belief or oddity. It was a pretty defining part of his identity. Same with Jack Parsons and occultism - it helped shaped much of his personality and beliefs. Regardless of all of that, the point I was attempting to make, wasn't they were Nazis or occultists. Rather, it was that they were members of influential societies / networks of people and didn't necessarily obtain their positions based on merit alone, similar to the lumberjack.
It's a side belief related to his work as a rocket scientist and engineer which is relevant skill to be employed at his position in NASA
They don't seem to care. It's not, by the way, like the other side hasn't done similar things. In fact, it seems common here in the US to employ people for some other reason than them being capable of something.
Von Braun is a rocket scientist and engineer. Is that not a reasonable qualification to be employed at a high position in NASA?
