how do the forces of nature produce a man like hitler?  hitler was a once in a millennium phenomenon, but like socrates, plato, and aristotle all following one another in classical athens, hitler occurred in the same german land that produced kant, goethe, hegel, schopenhauer, nietzsche, heidegger, and most of the nobel prize winning scientists of the early 20th century, including the fathers of relativity and quantum mechanics.  how do some societies, like classical athens, renaissance italy, and germany since the age of reason produce do many phenomenal people? why do the forces of nature align so precisely in certain times and places that a wellspring of geniuses pours forth? what accounts for a man like hitler, who may be history's greatest man, or who, for certain, was born in the same milieu as many of history greatest men?
