Einstein on problem solving (but not necessarily mathematical problems)

"The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them."

He's such a liberal arts thinker which is so fabulous but sometimes rare in math and science folks.

I read this and think of examples: NCLB is a problem that exists in the world today and truly there's no one in the Bush administration that can "solve" it . . . not only because they don't even understand that it's a problem but for the reasons that Einstein states, that level of thinking can't even comprehend how to undo the damage that's been done.
