MORE LASTING THAN BRONZE
A Short Biography of Joseph B. Galambos
by Andrew J. Galambos & Suzanne J. Galambos
The title for this biography was inspired by Joseph B. Galambos’ fondness of the Roman poet Horatius, who said, “Exegi monumentum aere perennius.” (“I have erected a monument more lasting than bronze.”) Joseph Galambos lived and displayed throughout his entire life superior personal ethics, self-honesty, and morality, always honoring his word and contracts even when it did not result favorably for him.
Joseph B. Galambos traced his family to northwest Hungary along the south bank of the Danube, and he lived in Berlin and Budapest. Although his parents were poor, as were many Eastern Europeans in the mid-1800s, they had close families, often with many children; sometimes there were orphans. Joseph's own father never went to school, yet spoke four languages. His older brother Henrik had moved to Berlin years earlier and had become a great success, owning many fashionable restaurants, and was able to send back money to his parents and enough to have Joseph and his brother Arnold (“The Dr. Uncle”) attend the University of Budapest. Joseph Galambos never forgot that and was grateful to his older brother Henrik all of his life.
So, Joseph had a better life and an excellent education to become a great architect. But he was drafted into the army during World War I for four years. After the war, he returned to Budapest, which was still a magnificent city, but he had to learn to survive despite the ruinous inflation and political unrest. When he permanently resettled in the United States, he was not a refugee from poverty or violent persecution, unwanted by any country, clutching a few belongings. He came to the United States as a wealthy man in intellectual property and was well-off financially. In his mid-40s, he was already an excellent architect with an impeccable reputation. Joseph was resilient, and he had courage and he had gratitude. And his son Andrew J. Galambos would inherit those qualities and, too, be grateful for them.
Joseph Galambos’ uncompromising integrity set a powerful example and had a profound and cumulative effect upon the young mind of Andrew J. Galambos (his son) growing up, and were important inputs enabling him to discover and create his Theories of Volition and Primary Property. These discoveries now rank importantly with the Newtonian integration of physics and the Darwinian integration of biology – and anchor human behavior and thinking into a property-based, rational, and moral framework for the first time in human history. The application of this new way of thinking could eventually enable human survival instead of its self-destruction.
The inscription on a Gold Medal Coin minted to commemorate the centennial of the birth of Joseph B. Galambos reads: Model for Integrity, Master Architect, Scholar, Teacher, Entrepreneur, Innovator, Humanitarian, Idealist, Realist. Later, Andrew Galambos would generalize these unique characteristics of the architect’s personal exemplary behavior into his world system, which he titled the “integrity machine”, referring to a moral and rational structure for civilization.
The actual phrase, “model for integrity”, comes from a comment made by an electrical contractor for Joseph Galambos named Czobor: “If ever a statue is erected to integrity, Joseph Galambos should pose for it!” Andrew J. Galambos, through his Theory of Primary Property, would articulate exactly what Integrity is with this explicit definition:
“Integrity is the consistent, reliable, and predictable employment of moral behavior by one who is not subject to enforcement or even detection.” (Note: INTEGRITY is a rational concept, not an emotional one. It is the highest form of self-honesty.)
Andrew J. Galambos’ recognition of his Father’s character and achievements is also a testament to the importance of Gratitude as an essential component of his Theories.
