Einstein

The premise of this podcast is that sheer inventiveness comes at a cost , The very thing that made Einstein a genius in his field, made him a less than ideal student. But Is it fair to extrapolate from Einstein to children and adults today !

... Einstein and the many many millions like him are not forged by adversity they are crushed by it ! . Aggressive Screening weeds out all our original thinkers . Insist on maintaining rigorous standards and you risk throwing the baby out with the bath water .

Treating everybody the same is not the same as treating everybody fairly . We have a name for a system like that . Communism . We know the outcomes lower productivity , lower levels of innovation , agency capture and systemic corruption .
