“Will it be rude to say I disagree?”

“How far does your thought go then?”
“It makes history if it finds supporters.”
“……….or detractors? What changes the course of history is the amount of love or hatred you generate for a new concept? Unfortunately, it’s all about emotion, not intellect. The intellect lives in quiet lanes, and dies a quiet death.”
“ Hmmm … power seekers and influencers know this, for sure…”

Reality often hits hard. But the net worth of individuals will show you what and who are valued in the world – not intellectuals, for sure. And they feel so complete in themselves, that they don’t bother to build mutually beneficial networks.
