This quote was also phrased, "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."
I think that version does a little bit more in explaining the meaning. It means that we must develop our intelligence and level of thought if we are to find the answers to problems we create. He also said, "The important thing is not to stop questioning."
What he is saying is that we need to always strive to have a better understanding of things if we are to survive and prosper as a people.
Does anyone else find it really annoying that the word "Answer" has a "W" in it?

How can I use the word "problematic" in a sentence to describe combative people? I want it to sound smooth.

"Whatever floats your boat" What other terms do you use when you mean I'm done talking to you?

You're reading “You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created”. What is meant by this Albert Einstein quote?

I like that Sketchy gave us the full quote, because I hadn't heard it before and the full quote makes more sence.
