  20. SG    Heisenberg's culture was influenced by Kant to think that reason is 
  21. subjective and that morality is split from reality. However, reason is based in 
  22. reality and morality is application of reason to surviving in reality. 
  23. Heisenberg is also a liar since explicit calls for irrationality were 
  24. culturally popular in the disintegrating Weimar Republic. _Mein Kampf_ has many 
  25. such calls for irrationality. Besides he was a scientist, not a philosopher.
