No one mocks the educated person, who the educated person fears. They understand all too well hostilities to their ideas.

Darwin waited 20 years to reveal his theory of evolution. Bruno was burned at the stake and Gallilao, and Copernicus, Galilao were jailed.

Einstein was pretty weird. He certainly did not have contemporary ideas.

All great minds are weird to their culture, as the ideas are only weird because they transcend the boundaries of that culture.

That is what developed minds do. Go beyond the limits of perception of the culture.

And why we learn from them.
