A cliffhanger! Well done! May I suggest Mr. Le Bon was a Baconian, and thus was Mr. Bernays? From Bacon's "Advancement Of Learning", 1605
"The action of the theatre… was carefully watched by the ancients…. and, indeed, many wise men and great philosophers have thought it to the mind as the bow to the fiddle: and certain it is that the minds of men in company are more open to affections and impressions than when alone."
This is interesting, but is it still pertinent to the intent of the book?
I assume you're eventually going to tie this all together with a depiction of what happened at the 1927 Solvay conference, and the indoctrination and cancellations by the orthodoxy ever since then.
I never expected to see Bernays and Einstein mentioned together. What an unexpected crossover!
I wasn't expecting that either. This is a case where the story I ended up telling was way different than what I thought I was researching going in.

Yes, that's definitely coming up if I can put Book I to bed and get back to what will be Book II.
