"...A human being is a part of the whole, called by us 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation, and a foundation for inner security," wrote Albert Einstein in 1950... What a lot of drivel!
Worthy of Madonna, or perhaps the Maharishi.
Outside the field of physics Einstein's opinions are about as worthwhile as those of my old aunt Hazel.
Don't forget he was a supporter of every loony left wing cause
and probably a communist sympathizer as well.
As for Dr. Bohm, he was a follower of the charlatan, Krishnamurthi.

"Outside the field of physics Einstein's opinions are about as worthwhile as those of my old aunt Hazel."If we should not give any weight to Einstein's opinions on epistemology, why should we give any weight to your opinions on Einstein?

Krishnamurthi may be a fake, but Bohm is not.
