text: can you name immoral geniuses? i'll start the thread. einstein is immoral because he married his own cousin.   the person with the most facts wins 10pts. ells, this is your chance to score again. oh, rather than name a whole line of them, let me just give you one. i think he would agree to both titles - immoral (or perhaps amoral) and genius - alister crowley (october 12, 1875 - dec 1, 1947) he was self-proclaimed "the wickedest man on earth." his mother called him "666, the beast from revelations."  crowley was a chess master, a yoga adept, a mountaineer, an occultist, a sex magick experimenter (one might call him a pervert and he would agree) and one who took large amounts of drugs (laudanum, opium, hashish, cocaine, alcohol, ether).  he wrote copiously about the alchemy of contacting one's guardian angel. designed his own tarot deck (wherein he reversed the order of some of the major arcana). he compiled a huge work of gemetria (correspondence of numbers and the values of words) called _777_.   there is no doubt of his genius; likewise there is no doubt that he died penniless, sick, addicted, and alone.
