True Learning

Here’s where the comedy begins.
Those who most loudly claim their superiority on account of their credentials are often the people who have most carefully avoided the risks that produce greatness.
Have they endured years of structured, proper thoughts?
Have they ever stood alone with an idea that is un-yielding, that refuses to bend to the consensus?
Have they pursued it where it led no matter the consequences?
The tragedy is not that such people exist, but that they have been mistaken for people who should be taken seriously.
That is what should bother you if you are a free thinker.
