“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”
[NOT Albert Einstein]
.
“…a new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move toward higher levels.”
[Albert Einstein, May 25, 1946, The New York Times]
The first quote is thrown around, but he never wrote it. It’s a paraphrase of the second, actual quote, from a very intriguing context about his fear of nuclear annihilation, “ATOMIC EDUCATION URGED BY EINSTEIN; Scientist in Plea for $200,000 to Promote New Type of Essential Thinking.” (https://www.nytimes.com/1946/05/25/archives/atomic-education-urged-by-einstein-scientist-in-plea-for-200000-to.html). The paraphrased sentence is:
“We need two hundred thousand dollars at once for a nation-wide campaign to let the people know that a new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move toward higher levels.”
