What you quoted above gives credence that another quote attributed to Einstein actually is his. I can even recognise the tone in the segment about Aristotle and his views about slavery.

The quote in question? "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen." - Albert Einstein

Even if it was misattributed, it's still one hell of a motto to live by.

That quote was correctly attributed to Einstein (although it's unclear whether we used those exact words) http://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/04/29/common-sense/
