I think she’s borrowed this thought from Albert Einstein…It’s just a slight rewording of Einstein’s - “Two things are infinite: the universe and stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe”. ?? Ok…she’s switched the universe for genius…but the premise of “stupidity” being infinite is the same.

Sigmund Freud did not exactly have an unblemished career. He was an opium addict and he had affair with his wife's sister, Minna Bernays.

@ASTRALMAX Did you even read the post? No one was talking about Sigmund Freud.

@nogod4me You made a referrence to Sigmund Freud so I thought to share a little information about him. Sorry, if it upset or offended you.
With regard to the post there is nothing new about it as it has been said before in fewer words. Self fulfilling prophesy whereby a person behaves in such a way to bring about a predicted event.

Shortly after the 2003 invasion of Iraq George W Bush appeared in TV with footage of burning oil wells in the background. The first words that he utterered were: "If there is any further damage to the oil wells there will be serious consequences." Clearly, he was not your brightest president.

@ASTRALMAX No, I made reference to Sigmund Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays.

I'm not offended, just wondering why some people don't read the post and then offer information not pertinent to the post.

@nogod4me Point taken.

@ASTRALMAX As far as self fulfilling prophecies, I was showing how easy it is to control the masses to the point that they will believe anything.
