Einstein was a smart man. He was a self proclaimed socialist. He believed that we needed to reverse the idea of individualism and replace it with a sense of community.

...but he added that in order to reach that Utopia, first you had to a create a planned economy that would enslave the people.

It was a joke. he hated politics. He basically said that in order to cure the patient, we have to kill him.

Yes, and as a liberal minded professor he was "closed minded" as Nanker likes to joke.

 

:D

And because, like all liberal minded professors, he was so closed minded. Incapable of thinking outside the box.

This is true we are all incapable of thinking outside the box but some boxes are bigger than others and Einstein had a huge box relatively speaking.

You're absolutely correct In that assertion. As great a mind as his was, he refused to embrace String Theory in his pursuit of a unified field theory that fit his preconceptions.

He actually didn't. Even Einstein's works were derivative (Lorentz, Gauss, Maxwell, etc.)

almost everyone's work is (except Magox who only has original thoughts) but for the rest of us dwarfs this is an appropriate quote ( or at least an appropriated quote) "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."
