What would it take to produce another Einstein? That is a question that returns with cyclical regularity in the physics community. But there is no need for the world to wait for someone of Albert Einstein’s remarkable vision and achievement to just happen along, not when we have got an Einstein factory right here in Canada.

Whatever it takes to ‘produce’ an Einstein, the people depicted in this article don’t have the answers.
These people don’t see their situation at all. IQ occurs in a statistical average.
The winners in that game seem stupid, not intelligent.
These people want to create a new Einstein. All these ‘smarties’ taken together can’t even grasp the limits of Darwinism, or the crisis of science in that regard.
Remarkable.

Einstein was a special type of idiot, ‘schlemiel’ almost capatures it (my yiddish, however, is a bit weak), you can’t manufacture such people, at any price.
