"Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking." -Albert Einstein Thoughts?https://twitter.com/ahimsa_satya_/status/980421843118108673 …

Wouldn’t necessarily disagree, more just saying reading the hot new books isn’t as worthwhile as reading The Iliad and the Odyssey, the Bible, the Gita, etc.

I think what Einstein may be saying is that reading in your speciality too much can be a way for people to not do their own thinking on a problem because they are always too engaged with what others thinking or solutions are.

Ya I agree. I don't think he was suggesting we stop reading, but to not rely on reading as our only means of education. Sometimes failing can be our greatest teacher and lead to break throughs.

Of course reading can help you learn tough lessons learned by those who’ve gone before you, but you always need to keep an open mind. Failing and pain are real they are just learning opportunities. “There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.” - N

I'll need to think about that quote for a bit. Neiztche makes my brain hurt.

He is dense and it’s not very fair to quote an aphorism of his without context or a deeper engagement with his work because he often appears to say contradictory things and is not at all easy to pin down.
