"And certainly we should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality. It cannot lead, it can only serve; and it is not fastidious in its choices of a leader. This characteristic is reflected in the qualities of its priests, the intellectuals. The intellect has a sharp eye for methods and tools, but is blind to ends and values" Out of my later years, p. 260, Einstein.
Was a little disappointed when you turned to Gladwell and Jobs in the same breath as Kierkegaard and Dostoevsky but maybe that says more about me than about you lol.
So, it is about being faithful in what we do?
Thank you. Great meditation to live by and to start this day off with.
