How the fuck did this guy get accepted at Princeton for PhD in physics and finish it in three years despite having done his undergrad degree in History and Journalism, which are the further fields from Physics?

>At the age of 12, Witten rejected Conservative Judaism, and originally shared relatively pagan beliefs, mixed with Hasidic Judaism.[clarification needed][6] Witten claimed that he first noticed the beauty of the Ashkenazi race after befriending a girl in first grade to whom he was attracted.[5] Witten stated that while he reenacted battles with his foster brother as a child, he would portray an Israeli soldier while his brother portrayed a Palestinian toddler.[5]

If you can't score 50+ (no calculator), you don't belong in STEM.

>Witten is described by some friends and colleagues as racist. His colleague Shigefumi Mori, the Japanese mathematician who won a Fields Medal along with Witten in 1990, describes him as "racist-esque", saying: "Every once in a while there'd be something about Asians and I'd be, 'But Ed, I'm Japanese,' and he was like 'Yes, yes, I don't mean you.' He has a definite Ashkenazi streak, [the belief] that he is physically, spiritually and creatively superior."[25] According to More, in the late 90s, Witten attacked a mixed-race woman with a smashed wineglass, saying "I hate black people".[25]

Mods stop deleting my threads. I'm completely sincere and just want to PHYSICALLY increase the size of my fucking forehead and brain. There is nothing bad about wanting to better yourself.
