A man who single handedly created: Brownian movement, which helped prove the existence of atoms and molecules. Thequantum theory of light, which explained how light can be both particles and waves. Thespecial theory of relativity. Which explains that time and motion are relative to the observer. The link between mass and energy E = mc2, which also forms much of the basis for nuclear energy

This man basically discovered and explained the universe's workings before we even had the technology to prove him right

... vs a person who makes hair look pretty

I have to ask. What makes you think we're all the same intelligence?

Because if we did consider everyone the same, it would take away credit and undermine the people who discovered all these amazing accomplishments. It's the same reason we don't view Olympic athletes the same as college athletes, they simply aren't the same. Removing people's uniqueness doesn't create equality, it just creates a depressing dystopia where everything is the sameness, nothing has character, and nothing is unique. Kind of like the beginning of Fahrenheit 451 where everything is black and white because God forbid someone has a different favorite color

Instead we should be celebrating the fact that there are people like Einstein and inspire to be like them, and work towards that level of intelligence. Not pull them down because we aren't on their level
