Einstein had his successes and he had his failures. He grew old and died. Even he could not transcend that limitation. One book I have on how to think like Einstein said that in his youth he was successful because he was so rebellious. In his later years, he was sort of hooked and trapped in certain views and couldn't deal with Quantum Mechanics, who was the new kid on the block. He became something of a dinosaur.
The human mind does have limitations, but within those limits are many different possibilities. DNA works with a very limited number of base pairs, but look at the myriad of forms that come from the combinations. You don't need an unlimited number of base pairs. Economy isn't something that needs to be feared.
You are mistaken about how I perceive the human mind. You're projecting your own conceptions there, because as I view the human mind and brain, it makes perfect sense to me that we live in a world that contains such a variety of characters.
Einstein picked his wolf and he spent his years dealing with the particular subject that was his passion. He didn't come up with a new art-form such as cubism or abstract expressionism. He did not write famous, epic poems. He was not a great athlete. You see where I am going here. Limits.
Go ahead and explore. Act as if you don't have limits. The road to excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
You can take my advice or leave it. Looking at the limits in your life and thinking about how you can work within them can be a very profitable exercise.
Some limits are unnecessary and they stifle. Some limits can be broken with work. Don't get me wrong here.
I'm just not down with the hyperbole.
I'd be careful about throwing that simpleton label around. It can get you into big trouble and make you look like an ass without you being aware of it. Hubris does that.
