“Yet as I cast my eye over the whole course of science I behold instances of false science, even more pretentious and popular than that of Einstein gradually fading into ineptitude under the searchlight; and I have no doubt that there will arise a new generation who will look with a wonder and amazement, deeper than now accompany Einstein, at our galaxy of thinkers, men of science, popular critics, authoritative professors and witty dramatists, who have been satisfied to waive their common sense in view of Einstein's absurdities.” MenLooksHas BeensWholeEyeScienceCoursesViewsCommonWonderDoubtGenerationsAccountsCriticsCastsWittyDeeperSatisfiedAriseCommon SenseInstanceNo DoubtProfessorsThinkerAbsurdityGalaxyAccompanyPretentiousNew GenerationFadingAmazementIneptitude Author:Arthur Lynch
“Children should not be coddled in their intellectual training any more than in their physical; and though the studies should be made interesting the interest should arise out of the studies themselves. We have bred a generation that cannot digest anything intellectual but tablets of peptonized food. One sees that in the popular papers with their brevity, still increasing in brevity as far as brevity can increase, and in the capacity for thought of our rulers.” ShouldChildrenMadeStillsInterestInterestingEducationStudyGenerationsPaperIntellectualTrainingCapacityIncreaseAriseRulersPapersBrevityTablets Book:Moods of Life: Popular Psychological Studies of Affairs of Every Day Source: Moods of Life: Popular Psychological Studies of Affairs of Every Day
