"Common sense is what tells us the earth is flat." -- Albert Einstein

That quote is from Stuart Chase and falsely attributed to Einstien.

"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen."
Albert Einstein

And your quote is attributed to Einstein by Eric Temple Bell and there isn't really any proof Einstein said that either.


"94% of all Albert Einstein quotes are falsely attributed to me." - Albert Einstein.

Whatever divorces us from the notion that Einstein said the Earth is flat is fine by me.

Common-sense is part of the home-made ideology of those who have been deprived of fundamental learning, of those who have been kept ignorant.

If you need to use common sense and not facts as an argument, then your argument is flawed.
Here's an example:
Diseases are in the blood, therefore bloodletting is a good idea.

Example number 2:
The earth looks flat, so it must be flat.

"Common sense is what tells us the earth is flat." -- Albert Einstein

an obscure quote that may or may not be an actual quote is not evidence that the earth is flat. I really don't see why you posted this.

"Common sense is what tells us the earth is flat." -- Albert Einstein

Common sense is pretty much the opposite of experimental evidence.

So you want us to accept Einstein's Ether, but you can't accept Gravity? Okay. Logic.

who said anything about accepting Einstein's aether? just because he was a genius doesn't mean he is infallibly right.
