are we infinitely stupid??

We’re being domesticated, because fewer and fewer and fewer of us have to be innovators to get by.

Einstein was once asked about his intelligence and he said, “I’m no more intelligent than the next guy. I’m just more curious.” Now, we can grant Einstein that little indulgence, because we think he was a pretty clever guy.

Maybe Einstein’s ideas were just as random as everybody else’s, but he kept persisting at them.

And if we say that everybody has some tiny probability of being the next Einstein, and we look at a billion people, there will be somebody who just by chance is the next Einstein.

But it might even be the case that that small number of innovators just got lucky.

And this is something that I think very few people will accept …the possibility that we are infinitely stupid.

There is no try
