Gimmah the evidence

[Cyberman]

I've read it attributed to Einstein by a reputable psychologist so I accept he said it.

You unlike people like apophenia that carry on with her mental masturbations are on the road to success by admitting the obvious.
When you keep an open mind you will be able to see the truth.
Congratulation.

You'll notice that he, like myself and others, didn't automatically accept the veracity of the statement and instead did a little research first. For my part all I could find were third-party attributions but no evidence of the quote in that form coming from the man himself. Keeping an open mind is perfectly laudable but remember the distinction between openminded and plain gullible.

But, but, but at the same time he does not even tell you that you should reject a teacher.

So just because Einstein didn't tell us to reject a teacher, we shouldn't? What about bad teachers? Must we always accept their authority simply because another authority may or may not have told us to?

Albert went much further then that.
Intuition gave him the answer and solution to his many questions.
He got the theory of relativity out of his intuit, Paul McCartney also got the tune for Yesterday out of his intuition via a dream and so many other so called inventors got the knowledge out of intuition most of the time via a dream.
In other words they did not invented anything all they did they got the knowledge that was already within.
The system work in this way..........you study, you struggle you hope, you wish and wish and after you put a real effort into the task to uncover the solution finally you are rewarded.
But who give you the reward?
Well i am not going any further? You guess!!!

You're confusing intuition with inspiration, but the funny thing about all this is creative people almost never get intuitive leaps about anything outside their own special field of interest and study. Einstein's songwriting career is perhaps thankfully lost to history, while McCartney's contributions to the sciences can be counted on the fingers of Abu Hamza's bad hand. Come to think of it, the same could be said of his contributions to music as well, but that's another thread.

Sir Terry Pratchett once wrote about inspiration particles sleeting through the Universe and sparking ideas whenever they chance upon living minds. However, before you get too excited, he was writing satirically about the importance of being born in the right species at the right place and the right time; the frog living a million years ago who suddenly got the inspiration for making the perfect sitcom stood no chance, for instance.

No teacher required anymore once you get the licence to drive but before that you got to study the theory (teacher) and then you got to have an other teacher who explain you the difference between the brake and the accelerator when for the first time you sit in the driving seat.
Sure, you could come to the conclusion by yourself but in the real life almost none does as it could be very dangerous and take more time.
Relying on someone who got experience in a particular field is the best way to get there quicker and safer.

The entire purpose of teaching, beyond the basics and if you're doing it right, is to generate the desire for learning in the pupil, such that they will one day surpass the teacher.
