"Hi again Professor. I thought this time we might try to keep the conversation a little less serious.
One thing that strikes me is that there seems to be an absence of leadership or at least an absence of good leadership at a time when our world is changing direction. How do you feel about our decision makers and their direction?"
Albert Einstein
“Two things are
infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the
universe.”

"Leaders seem to avoid actually telling us what they are planning. Do you think the public is unable to comprehend the complex nature of finance and government?"
Albert Einstein
“If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.”
Gerald Goeden
"It sounds to me like you may have a low opinion of some of the world's leaders. Don't you think that they are good enough for the problems ahead?"
Albert Einstein
“We all know that light travels faster than sound. That's why certain people appear bright until you hear them speak.”
Gerald Goeden
"Why do you think our environment is changing and the health of the planet is failing?"
Gerald Goeden
"Of all the things kids can study today, what would you recommend as the most important subject?"
Albert Einstein
“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”
Gerald Goeden
"Have a look at this photo of the President's office. What does it tell you about him as a leader?"
Albert Einstein
“If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”
Gerald Goeden
"Is there a broad principal or way of living that should guide us all?"
Albert Einstein
“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”
Gerald Goeden
"One last question for you today. Where do you think that the hand-phone and the ability to message people on the other side of the world is leading us?"
Albert Einstein
“I fear the day technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.”
