Albert Einstein's "The World As I See It"

I think it's interesting to read some of how Einstein saw the world he lived in. He addresses societal commitments, ethical ways of living, and religious views.

I've trimmed out huge sections of this book-length essay. For the full text, go to Amazon and buy it.

As an Atheist, I love the part about his religious beliefs and takes on god.

@gamingguy90 I have aspergers and while I LOVE quantum physics I am nowhere near as brilliant as Einstein. I do believe he was autistic too though because in our social skills group the people running it named famous people who most likely had aspergers too and they mentioned Einstein... I wish I was genius like him so I can see exactly what he saw when he studied physics...

@TheBadBizzle I couldn't fit this part in my last post but i really need to say this before i got missunderstood.

Neither I'm saying everyone with autism is gifted but I'm sure in those who are it did have an important part in that ability, it's all by chance for sure.. I guess this would be becasue the sometimes compensate dissabilitys imporving other working parts , just as with blind people.

@TheBadBizzle maybe it can be true that just 5% of all autistics are gifted but at the same time when reffering specifically to savants half of all savants are autistics and the other have some kind of brain lession or problem; so i believe it can't be ignored that autism (specially) or other brain disorders do have a relation with gifted geniuses and not just a coincidence these gifted people we know had these mental diseases or disorders.

how come this man never became president..!"

@TheBadBizzle I provided two credible sources. I am sticking to expert diagnosis. Einstein was autistic. I'd link them if Youtube allowed it. You can find the sources by Google searching Einstein Autism. You'll get an article from the BBC and an article from New Scientist talking about this.

Thank you for that.

@TheRyeguy123 You do realize that autistic people are generally geniuses in one area but are severely lacking in social skills and often don't do well in normal situations like school. That pretty much describes Einstein. If you just Google Einstein Autism, you'll get an article from the BBC and an article from New Scientist talking about this. I recommend doing some research next time before you just flat out dismiss a claim.

@Drgamedood You do realize that Bohr won every single one of those debates? And that this is one of the reasons why the Copenhagen-interpretation is the most widely used interpretation of quantum physics (rather than the missing variable-interpretation)?
