What is meant by Einstein's theorem?
Hello,
Albert Einstein gave a speech about the radio exhibition in 1930. One sentence caught my attention: "All those who mindlessly use the wonders of science and technology and have grasped them no more intellectually than a cow has of the botany of the plants it eats with pleasure should be ashamed."
So is he comparing this group of people to a cow that simply eats a plant without thinking about how it was created?
Do you understand it differently, or have I misinterpreted it?

Oh, no… you get that right, and Einstein puts it to the point.
Or do you seriously believe that the people who are standing in front of the telly every night (no matter whether the Internet, cable or satellite), whispered the spiritual thin film of RTL/SAT/KABEL/ARD/ZDD/etc, that these people also only have the touch of an idea of what technical effort has to be made so that they can even consume this brain softening of the ChipT, comfortably on the sofa
EMERGENCY!
The famous SciFi author Arthur C. Clarke (2001 – Odysee in Space) has formed three "SciFi laws", whose third law has now reached cult status and has long become a winged saying:
" Any sufficiently advanced technology cannot be distinguished from magic. "
… and actually confirms this 3. Clark's law, which goes back to people when they consume in masses: they can be sprinkled, but do not know how this sprinkling comes about.
The most mesmerized people also know with effort and hardship that they live on a planet that circles around a sun – but could never make more information about their place of residence.
I always imagine that if one day a flying saucer lands on the garden of a SUPER-RTL viewer – and the small green males ask where they are here, they would have lost themselves. And the super-RTL viewer then brabbles anything of the earth and the sun and the moon – and the small green males make the super-RTL viewer clear because he doesn't even know where his place is in the universe;-) Sounds sad, but it's just that!
Therefore Einstein spoke very wisely – and as it was his way, did not take a leaf in front of the mouth as regards the future of humanity on this planet.
Yeah, right. He encourages one-sided use of scientific progress. Even a cow gives something to the world. A thoughtless and stupid person is at the same level with her, although he should know better.
However, the quota also makes some thoughtful. If, in turn, a person is released from any responsibility, provided that he understands the relationship. Does science have no ethical problem in itself? Does it indirectly raise any nuclear research of the time in which direction they develop?
He thinks nuclear research is rather inextricable. The miracles of technology come in this way or so and you should not use them without thought.
As he has also said elsewhere, "..If you are swinging in… then you can't prevent this from manifesting…etc".
It's just like with the many computer experts here, who are adapting to their game knowledge and swabing over graphics cards, but don't even understand what's happening in the device. Because their parents and grandparents have created the foundations.
Arriving XD
He means the people who use a smartphone without knowing how computers work.
