How would you know if you're being "independent" or if you're just being a crack pot?
- austincheney 8y agoCompetition and survivability are great economic indicators of health. As far as self-indicative criteria the difference between independence and insanity is simply deliberation with which a decision is made based upon supporting evidence. Some people who were regarded as crackpots to be ignored: * Alfred Wegener (plate techtonics) * Ernest Duchesne (antibiotics) * Alfred Russel Wallace (evolution) * Galileo Galilei (astronomy) * Marc Andreessen (internet commercialization) I believe the appropriate term for this sort of behavior is personal exceptionalism. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17532575 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17532575
