The Children of the Light have the resources to maintain themselves as a somewhat effective fighting and in some cases, police-like force.
But where to these resources come from? They don’t have any lands to tax, and the proper political leaders in Randland seem to regard them somewhere in the range of annoyance to hostility.
By using this label, were the Nazis simply trying to argue that certain scientific subjects such as Einstein’s theory of relativity were sullied and were not appropriate subjects for an “Aryan” scientist to engage with, or were they actually trying to dismiss or discredit the theories, findings and predictions of certain areas of science? In other words, did the Nazis actually disbelieve the science itself?
I’m well aware that antisemitism resulted in massive practical setbacks to German science as scientists who happened to be Jewish were driven out of the country. I’m asking whether the damage to German science was essentially brain drain, or whether it resulted in scientific efforts being meaningfully misdirected.
Were there any points at which Nazi-aligned German scientists conceded that they had to accept so-called “Jewish physics” because the evidence that it was correct was too great?
Were the priestly positions hereditary, or did people with particular talents or aptitudes try to get a job as a priest? Did they start as children and learn on the job?
