Einstein's Second Definition of Insanity





"Expecting people who do not see the problem to solve the exact same problem "





Actually I made that up patterned after Einstein's definition of insanity.

 "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"







Or what could be Einstein's definition of insanity since quora.com apparently questions the validity. I thought this was a reasonable extrapolation of Einstein's logic.  Since what is known as  Einstein's definition of insanity is actually in doubt then there is absolutely less harm adding to the thought.  It is not like I am making up an 11th commandment.   I think the logic ( of the amendment)  is similar to a lesser quote from the 1987 classic De Palma film The Untouchables.


Eliot Ness and Malone discussing the formation of the Untouchables. 


Well, if You're Afraid of Getting a Rotten Apple

 If you're afraid of getting a rotten apple, don't go to the barrel. Get it off the tree.

From the Untouchables. 









Disclaimer: I do not endorse this kind of thinking if you are in the Marines since they have a very defined chain of command there. You are at risk of getting a Code Red called on you.
