Mr. Bergh, I contend that I could gain wisdom in my life while remaining blissfully unaware of just how close John Galt is to wisdom. I know that I should remain aware that many have passed before me who were wiser than I ever will be, and I won't ever achieve perfect knowledge of all that came before me, but I won't let either of these render me silent for my entire lifetime. I'm not quite sure, but i imagine lifelong silence isn't necessary condition for the acquisition of wisdom. I have been attempting to remedy my condition by reading a few things that Mr. Galt has had to say, both on his own and through you via email, but frankly I am not very impressed with what he has had to say. That opinion could change quite easily though, so let's just cross our fingers and hope the proverbial two ton boulder gets thrown into my little tidepool of a mind. I think I could probably use a little shaking up mentally, though if I have to go around telling people how I have a Galted mind and that they don't know as much as the guy who enlightened me so they should hold their tounges I might as well just become a slavish rock groupie and worship the threefold mystery of sex, drugs and rock-n-roll. It'd be more fun and I'd die younger. -Tom {Ugh. Never mind Terrence. I'm a jerk. Don't waste time on me. You were right on the whole. I just wonder about your motivations sometimes. I might pursue this threefold mystery thing... :) }
