Einstein's Operating System

By Andre Michaud

Description of the neural network based human thinking process and of how it can be used optimally by anyone.

A beginner's guide to coherent thinking.

****

Could we all understand anything?

Could IQ testing be a dead end, a rather futile exercise in comprehension speed measurement, not really having much to do with how clearly any issue can be understood?

In all races, there always is a quickest runner, a slowest runner, with all other runners having intermediate results. All contestants however can reach the finish line.

Is it conceivable that we are in the same race as Einstein?

Can all humans reach the finish line?

Was Einstein a quick runner or a slow Runner?

Did it matter at all?

What is the limit of our comprehension ability?

So many questions!

Let us analyze and maybe... find coherent answers.

Foreword

I have always been aware of the discouragement that plagues an important part of our youth.

To get right to the point, I believe that a major cause of discouragement for our youth is the public categorization of students as being more or less capable on an intelligence scale.

Aren’t conclusions quickly reached with supporting tests as required, that an individual is not talented enough to follow a given course, instead of simply realizing that he or she only needs more help or to invest more effort? Isn’t everyone branded in this manner during his or her teens, a period of life where people are most vulnerable to this sort of derogatory classification?

Considering the need for self-esteem and clearness of mind required to comprehend the problems and take the decisions required in this materialistic world of ours, what intellectual means are we leaving at the disposal of our children for them to more easily take control of their lives and see coherence in the world they will have to face?

I hope that whatever rung the system has placed him or her on the ladder of intellectual capacity, the reader will come out of this reading exercise with the clear impression that his or her intellectual potential is unlimited, if he or she does not already have this impression.

I wrote this book to help my own children reach their best possible intellectual development. This is why the tone of the first eight chapters was made rather light to ease up their progression towards the more abstract aspects of the question.

Castles in Spain

[Back to TOC]

The most wonderful feeling we can have is sensing the mystery of things.

A. Einstein

Perfection is in the eye of the viewer, in the ear of the listener.

Presently, my love for science fiction started all this.

When I passed my IQ test, I was approximately 15 years old, if I recall correctly.

I had been reading since first grade all, and I mean ALL, I could lay my hands on. Science fiction particularly fascinated me, comic books, books, occasional films on TV.

Not finding sufficient material in French (my mother tongue), I learned English as fast as I could to be able to read those wonderfully mysterious American Science Fiction books with pictures of spacecrafts on the covers that, up to that point, had been out of my reach.

I was so young and vulnerable, often daydreaming, far away somewhere in the Universe!

Then, they gave me my IQ test result.

125... What!!!

How could they look down on me?

Me! A member of the Human Race! In my imaginary voyages, we were a species highly respected in the rest of the Universe!

After years of youthfully naïve science fiction dreams that we could reach the stars and that nothing was out of our reach, there was no way I could accept the idea that there might be things that I could not eventually understand provided I succeeded in gathering sufficient information on the subject and was sufficiently interested.

That IQ result apparently implied just that in my view. In my opinion, we were all potentially as bright as Einstein was. The countless masterpieces, in every domain, that sprinkle human history had long since confirmed that deep impression.

I asked myself: How could I verify?

****

Searching for gold

[Back to TOC]

Who experienced cogitating in a different domain always wins over who does not think or thinks just a little.

A. Einstein

Music, theatre, poetry, literary creation, architecture, technological achievements, sculpture, etc. are all facets of the same diamond, human genius.

So, I started looking inward instead of outward.

Besides the masterpieces coming from the great masters, human genius was also obvious to me in the technical accomplishments that surrounded me, without mentioning the bright ideas that I witnessed from time to time, emanating from persons I knew.

One more indication, that I could constantly verify myself, and that has always held true as the years went by, greatly contributed to maintain my deep conviction. Each time I undertook to explain to anyone who showed interest, something that I understood clearly, whatever the degree of complexity, the person always ended up understanding the subject.

The long trek

[Back to TOC]

I started reading more serious material, paying particular attention to popularization works. Not finding completely satisfactory answers in available literature, I began to observe others around me, including myself (not easy), trying to understand mental processes (not motivation), pondering, analyzing, painstakingly exploring various concepts, generally trying to perceive global coherence.

For the following 15 years, I also continued reading science fiction, looking for I don’t know what, maybe clues of some sort. One day, I purchased a book from A. E. Van Vogt, The world of Null-A where I first found mention of Alfred Korzybski, a person that had apparently devised a method that could potentially allow human beings to reach mental perfection.

Interesting samples

[Back to TOC]

That intrigued me to the highest point and I managed to locate a copy of "Science and Sanity". I read the 561rst first pages in 5 days (nights rather, I could barely sleep). I was absolutely delighted by the clarity of the writing. What a coherent theory!

"Science and Sanity" by Alfred Korzybski, distributed by the Institute Of General Semantics, Lakeville, Connecticut.

I felt wonder similar to what I felt when I first went out in the galaxy while reading my first great science fiction masterpieces of the genre!

I disagreed on many points, mainly on the method to be used to correct the problem, but I loved his book anyway and I learned many things, particularly a new perspective on how to observe reality.

Not finding any more big chunks of information, I gradually forgot about my great project in the course of the following 20 years, living my life, making normal projects, having a family.

I always liked to explain what I understood of a notion or problem to people around me when they appeared to have whatever difficulty grasping that notion or problem.

This activity often led to discussions on the very nature of the comprehension process. That certainly kept my mind oriented towards the issue, which in turn certainly maintained the flow of inner questioning on the matter.

Smelling gold!
