"Definition of insanity" quote has been misattributed to Einstein

I'm sure everyone has heard it before: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results." Of course Einstein never said that expression. For some time, it was misattributed to the feminist lesbian writer Rita Mae Brown, but it seems she just borrowed it. The actual origin of the expression, that is, the earliest use of it, is a 1981 version of the book "Narcotics Anonymous". The more you know.

It just irritates the shit out of me when people talk about "Einstein's famous quote". Knowing what I know about Einstein, if he could somehow plagiarize content from the future, he would have.

He didn't plagiarize, jews just attribute everything good what others do to their own kind. Time is irrelevant.

Einstein absolutely did plagiarize everything he wrote in his physics papers, particularly the first four he wrote in 1905. There wasn't an original thought in any of them. He stole from several people, notably Poincaré. The fact that he cited no references in any of his papers substantiates this. His defenders say he had no references because his papers show primacy and originality, but that's a lie.

This article is good for a brief summary, but I would recommend Bjerknes's "Albert Einslein: The Incorrigible Plagiarist", which is cited in the article.

Okay okay, let me rephrase a bit. He didn't plagiarize that specific sentence. He did plagiarize everything else, because annus mirabili(or smthng) had like 30 research papers and he did that promptly after leaving swiss patent office.
Grok knows about shit too.

I do love to watch people short circuit when I let them know that Einstein had about as much moral integrity as Bill Clinton and Bill Cosby.

I love it even more when I can actually debate people on the REAL definition of insanity, the one that no dictionary will ever contain, because it steers people in the direction of questioning their circumstances, and therefore, their jew masters.

The real definition of insanity is "an inability to grasp and learn the Truth when it is presented to one directly."

The jews constantly point out that they know this definition and they even exploit it. You know that awful Seth Rogan movie "Sausage Party?" That was an example of the jews boasting of how they know the truth and can pass it off in front of the masses without anyone choosing to admit that they were wrong.

Everyone has an ego, and as long as you don't choose to master it, you're it's slave. As long as you can refuse to admit certain ideas that don't line up with your beliefs exist, you can always have that information used against you.

It was Narcotics Anonymous that coined the phrase back in the 80's.

I wrote all quotes. I am your god. All of you have forsaken me. All of you fall short.
