It will be then that the world will have permanent ensuing generations of idiots. | It's become appallingly clear that our technology has surpassed our humanity. | Although it is a popular quote on the internet, there is no substantial evidence that Einstein actually said that. It does not appear in "The Ultimate Quotable Einstein" from Princeton University Press nor in any reliable source. "Quote Investigator" concluded that it probably emerged as a meme on the internet as late as 2012.
