Quote by Albert Einstein

Man tries to make for himself in the fashion that suits him best a simplified and intelligible picture of the world; he then tries to some extent to substitute this cosmos of his for the world of experience, and thus to overcome it.

Man tries to make for himself in the fashion that suits him

Summary

This quote suggests that humans have a tendency to create a simplified version of the world that they can understand. They create their own interpretation or perception of reality and try to replace it with the actual world they experience. This indicates a desire to control and conquer the complexities of life by substituting it with a simplified worldview. However, it also implies that this desire to simplify and conquer reality may be a way for humans to navigate and make sense of the world around them.
