Is Edward Witten a villain?

>I fear it’s not really about the leadership of Witten, Gross, Vafa, Strominger, Seiberg etc. It’s really about Ed. Many years ago Joe Polchinski said to me ‘You keep mentioning String Theory Eric, but I am never sure whether String Theory really exists as a proper discipline or community…or whether we are merely runnning sub-routines for Ed.’
is he really a psychopath? someone who came from political science to take over physics? How can one man have so much power? Einstein was left alone, no one followed him in his search for the theory of everything. Witten is more than Einstein? How? Every day I have more certainty and less doubt

Enough with the antisemitism.
Jewish people doing science is valid.
Jews are a hardworking people, advancing all fields they partake in.

It's worse than you think. I laid out all of my bank statements for the last ten years on the living room floor the other day. I ascended the stairs and looked down only to see the data created Ed's smiling visage looking back up at me.

He has the respect of his peers because he's proved himself smart many times. You are reading too much into a joke by Polchinski.
