The Senility of our Intellectual Culture.
On some emission entitled "The One Show" on EBC1 Einstein was described as having "autism". Yeah Right! And so does everyone. Einstein had NOTHING of the kind. Nor does anyone.
It does not exist.
Also the phenomenon of intellectual summary books - such as the "For Beginners" series - which I think on balance are an excellent thing - if only because they get people interested in ideas - were condemned in an English Sunday "news" paper recently.
They should be encouraged.
FURTHERMORE - the phenomenon of these books once again seemed to be the fault somehow of one Albert Einstein. WHO HAD NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH THEM.
Vilified while alive, he is now vilified when dead by an intellectual culture of seemingly infinite senility.
One of the cleverest people who ever lived - who explained himself quite clearly.
