someone posted this in the thinker's cult, i thought it sums up a lot.
"I know not what weapons will be used in World War 3; all I know is that World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones."
-Albert Einstein

einstein was solving a bunch of brilliant physics stuff during WW2 and at the same time other physicists were creating atomic bombs, weapons of mass murder, etc. So what this quote is saying is that the weapons are getting so bad that the next time the world goes to war, were going to kill civilization and then fight with sticks and stones instead of bombs and guns (were killing ourselves).

ok, i thought the exact same thing but i thought maybe there was a metaphorical meaning as well because i still don't see why this quote it so good but i guess there isn't. nevermind then

Well if that is truly the message I have to disagree because WW4 will probably consist of wiping all life off of planet earth (with the exception of cockroachs)

So? If thats how they want to live their lives then so be it. Maybe they'll find a super dork female and have super dork children with her? Theres a woman for everybody.

Einstein helped create these bombs as well. It's saying we're going to blow each other up and basically civilization will restart with primitive tools and such, but war will still exist unless we stop it now.

Quick explanation: WW3 will be fought with nuclear weapons, thus destroying mankind. This means that when man comes around again and has another world war, they will start from scratch and, in such a case, will not have weapons beyond sticks and stones.

yea, lemme get an invite please.
and thats not very complicated. wwIII will destroy so much, that IV will be so bad that technology will be reduced to stone aged tools.
its metaphorical, but the termoil in the world in that era was pretty intense. not hard to imagine comparing the destructive capabilities of I and II

if your not being sarcastic its not hard to understand.
Albert Einstein played a key role in the development of the atomic bomb. Maybe now 60 years after it was created you might realize its potential. Just think about that
