Years ago I studied Creighton's biography. I can't remember the specifics but that is when I learned he was a fool. Yes he was smart as hell, but there was something wrong with his thinking. He was smart, but not wise. It does not matter how much intellectual gymnastics you can manage if you are nuts-lol. Once I determined he was a fool, I'm done with him. Just like once I discovered Ayn Rand was a fool I quit reading her. I saw a great joke a while back where a farmer was talking to his daughter in a cornfield and all of the cornstalks were reading books and the farmer said to his daughter:" they have not matured yet they are still reading Ayn Rand." Ayn Rand is for intellectual beginners. Guys like Einstein, Alfred North Whitehead, Bertrand Russell, and James Joyce and T.S. Eliot are the true intellectuals. <<Message #1010159 from i-node at 4/6/2017 1:11:14 PM >> Crichton was a fool and I don't bother reading fools. Life is short. You don't see a problem with discounting someone as a "fool" without hearing them out? It turns temporary ignorance into a permanent affliction.
