  1. Perhaps then, we are all fools when it comes to understanding of the universe and what caused life and consciousness to come about. If you knew and understood everything (impossible, given our brief lifespan), what would be the point of 'being'? Maybe to impart that onto others and future generations

  2. While the general intention is half plausible as Einstein's, the formulation isn't. Grounding your point by connection to the common sense of content words is opposite to Einstein's method... In a way, the quote belies what it affirms by its manner of affirming it.

  4. This is perhaps the biggest problem with how science is taught today. Content overshadowing methodology and philosophy.
