It's a good quote.

I wonder if people would be offended if someone who wasn't as smart as Einstein said that.

Because people LOVE to be offended. It makes their ego swell to unusually large proportions.

It can be interpretted as "You are Dumb."

Just imagine what some people would think if George Bush Jr. said that.

huh?
it can only be interpreted that way if you assumed that it was directed at you

I see it as more of a general statement, like "most people are morons"

I here what your saying. But using your quote

Quote:

"most people are morons"




Imagine if Gee Dub called a press conference and said that tomorrow. People would flip out!

My only point was it is interesting what we let some people say.

He worked on the Manhatten Project, it is curious where his intelligence was on THAT ONE!

Yeah, I understand that he fled Europe and had a vested interest in the war, but he also has a quote that says something like

"If only I had known, I would have been a carpenter" or something like that. Also, "I do not know what weapons WWIII will be fought with, but WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones."

people are afraid they might be stupid, so they get angry and hate that which frightens them, in this case they hate themselves, and to a weaker but more vocal extent, the genius who suggested it .

I'm not sure about that. I'd be suprised if anyone hates Einstein for that quote.

Insert an "I think" mentally in front of eveything I say that seems sketchy, because I certainly don't KNOW much. Also; feel free to yell at me.

"It can be interpretted as "You are Dumb.""

I saw it more as "WE are dumb"

human rational is dumb. human capacity for learining and intelligence is respectable compared to the other organisms and entities we are aware of.

I am stupid, I am dumb, I also have a higher IQ than the average human being, so, yeah, i can't argue with Einstein on this one, but one important point he left out, if human stupidity is infinite, than human intelligence would have to be as well. this is a little harder to agree with, because we are dumb, but like i said, I cant really disagree with the man on this one.
