Do you see a connection between his academic work and him marrying his cousin?

He studied people he believed to be superior like Albert Einstein and Eleanor Roosevelt who were also cousin fuckers.

I think his feelings towards his mother truly sparked his work.

While his relationship with his mother was certainly complex how do you boil this down to 'cousin fucker'?

It doesn't; it was a hurried response and more tongue in cheek.
