    Two things are infinite: The universe and fake Einstein quotes, and I’m not sure about the universe.

      We should require sources for quotes to be taken seriously. That’s too much work for libs though lol

    What’s the source for this quote? I struggle to picture him saying it, and I can’t see it as something he’d ever have printed in a book. He also doesn’t strike me as the kind of person to boast about how big brained he is “hurr hurr intelligent people ignore hurr hurr”. smuglord

    I’m willing to be wrong but I can’t find a source for it.

      No way he said this. Tons of people misattribute quotes to Einstein. This quote also gets attributed to buddha. Good rule of thumb is: if a quote is plastered all over those dumb quote websites (especially attributed to a very famous person) but doesn’t exist on wikiquote, then you can pretty comfortably say its not an accurate quote.

      Its undeniable that’s he is quoted as saying it…

      Seriously though it would be a tight competition between Einstein and Stalin as to who has had the most misattributed quotes

      In everyday experience, I guess it just steals your time thinking about other people, who did you wrong, you really should not care about.

      they can revenge you back. and if you kill them to prevent that their relatives might revenge you. it’s this whole thing

          Fortunately, human connections are famously discrete, just kill everyone within 6 degrees of separation and that should cover anyone who might seek revenge galaxy-brain

      Revenge is more easily and relevant in small communities. In large societies it barely works.

        Neat. That’s called the celery-salary merger. For me “smell” has the same vowel as “bet” and “Al” has the same vowel as “bat”, so they’re similar but distinct.
