My dear father and poet, L.A.Holme wrote: You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink. You can lead a man to wisdom but you cannot make him think. For the thinking, like the drinking, requires that he thirst. Without the thirst for knowledge, he is worse off than at first. He's memorized the facts but cannot use them as a tool. So, he's gone from merely ignorant to an educated fool.

He _was_ a philosopher. By definition, physics is "natural philosophy", and in Zürich and Göttingen where he studied, basic philosophy was (and still is) a required part of the physics curriculum. Apparently that is not so in Princeton, where he taught after he emigrated there for political reasons. He was also a scientist. He is basically the god of science. And he was smart, well read, well travelled, knew many languages. He could explain complex concepts like no other. And even though he was a theoretician, his profuse academic work has changed our world in many ways already.

Sounds great, but it’s dead wrong. We need to learn the facts that people of the past have discovered so we don’t have to re-discover the same basic things in every generation.

Einstein, what he did, was being silent for 2,3,4 hours and then new information would come to him. Humanity doesn't think at all, only repeats the old information. To really think is to expand your Consciousness to higher levels where there's new information, for unknown information.

Among my duties was statistical analysis where I did get to use some of my math education. But things like calculus, fractals, and even trigonometry simply don't come up in ordinary life.

@@dickurkel6910 Yeah, of course, but I don’t think there would be a reason for him to remember details about sound waves. As far as I know this didn’t relate to his work.

[@a_hamburger2957]

@@scarbo2229 what is the speed of sound is an interesting question that could set up a long explanation of similar physics by him. It seems like a more than reasonable question for one of the smartest physicists of all time.

In other words, Google it.

My professor said the same thing to me when I was at university. He said that “higher education is the art of learning how to learn”

[@AtzeD109]

Millions of students all over the planet should listen to this

[@vannersp]

If only universities still did that!

[@guitarandrums]

When was the last time you stepped foot in a university?

[@vannersp]

@@guitarandrums @@guitarandrums I've been to universities periodically since 1990. Back then (in Australia) it was all business - when I graduate I had genuine skills, not just as a programmer, but also with business, contact negotiation, systems analysis, and a smattering of philosophy and engineering. I went back in 2006 and did a masters, and again it was direct and to the point. I have since sent four of my sons to university from 2015 to the present. Only one of them is getting anything approaching a good education. The "core subjects" have nothing to do with the course, and are straight up indoctrination. Marxist posters promoting socialism litter the walls of the school - and taking them down leads to disciplinary action. If I were to use the philosophy I was taught in my undergrad degree I would be butting heads with most of the faculty, most of whom can do no more than assert their positions - no thinking involved. The one son who skipped all that noise (and is subsequently getting a decent education) ironically is in performing arts - considering the disposition of a majority of his peers, they probably consider there is no need to further indoctrinate anyone who turns up in their school.

[@lkytmryan]

1981 for me but i see the type of indoctrination of the robots coming out nearly every day.

[@guitarandrums]

@@vannersp yeah I straight up do not believe that

[@reinforcer9000]

​​@@vannersp sounds like confirmation bias. I've been in and out of university for the past two decades doing bachelors masters and finally my PhD and I've never once seen a Marxist poster. You need to get a life and stop making everything about politics.

Good thing Einstein wasn't alive when the Internet was invented😂

I used to think the same but now I am noticing that lack of information may actually be a reason for us to not think about all the possibilities.

A U.C. Berkeley professor told me the 1 takeaway I have even today from college in 1971......when you don't know a thing, ask questions.

[@zacharyhenson5376]

A very wise science teacher taught us it’s not about knowing all the answers, but knowing where to get the information

[@kennedydelapena8681]

He sure was a smart and honest man and funny too

Elon Musk is the Alfred Einstein and Isac Newtown and the Steven Hawkings and the Nicholas Tesla of our day combined.

[@sct4040]

Yes, and this the exact reasoning I give to those not wanting a college education. It may not get you a job, but it teaches you how to think.

[@rivigantentertainment]

This is why Einstein's intelligence surpassed his contemporaries because he did not learn facts but how to think and imagine. As Einstein once said " Imagination, not knowledge is intelligence".

College doesn’t teach you how to manage your finances but it teaches you how to be a critical thinker and apply that to all different kinds if situations

[@aglaesaitschenko2349]

Colleges have long since stopped teaching people how to think. Now they teach WHAT to think.

[@ace8184]

einstein got schooled and called out!!!

[@raymesquite]

I did not do well in high school but I went on to a university to earn a bachelor in science degree. The lesson I learned is that high school is full of teachers who discourage you from getting your education.

[@The.Doctor.6149]

“It’s more important to know where or how to find answers, than it is to try and recall them from memory, especially once you’ve realised that learning *never* ends, and the more you learn, the more apparent it becomes just how little you can *ever* really know”

[@Royce684]

He might actually know it but presents he doesn't know 💀

[@ragdoll86]

Back when I went to school, we didn’t have to memorise things usually, maybe for exams, but the main idea was to be able to find the needed information and assess the credibility of it.

Well said. A lot of people nowadays say education cannot make you rich. Maybe but we are getting educated to build a better society.
