1960, the year I was born, and 50 years before I would learn this most valuable of lessons. "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but "That's funny…". — Isaac Asimov "Come to me as a child." - Truth

...."simply by not knowing they were impossible..." And that, is how you create something that every "expert" claims you cannot. Been there. Actually done that.

‘On Fame’ John Keats ‘Fame, like a wayward girl, will still be coy To those who woo her with too slavish knees, But makes surrender to some thoughtless boy, And dotes the more upon a heart at ease.’

Willingness to test what is really ‘true’, and what is really possible… When one does, and think deeply, then one may discover new amazing possibilities… right in front of one’s eyes…

Every interview I've ever seen of Orson Welles is unforgettable. The man loved talking to people.

"I am aware how brash this commentary will seem, coming from me, who have no competence or learning in science. The issue I am attempting to deal with, however, is not knowledge but ignorance. In ignorance I believe I may pronounce myself a fair expert." - Wendell Berry

As someone who learned TV on a $130,000 camera made of tubes he is right.

His last statement about doctors rings familiar in the wake of C-19. This should be humbling.

Orson Welles on why "Citizen Kane" (1941) was banned in Russia & what he considers to be an obligation of every artist: "Interviewer: In 'Citizen Kane' (1941) and 'Lady from Shanghai' (1947), were you intending to criticize American civilization? Welles: I certainly was. I think every artist has an obligation to criticize his own civilization, his contemporaries. It’s clearly and obviously the task of an artist of any ambition. Every French person ought to criticize the present French civilization. It’s a responsibility. Interviewer: But was it your intention to criticize a capitalistic viewpoint? Welles: The capitalistic viewpoint as opposed to the materialistic view point? If I admitted that I was criticizing capitalism, it would look as if I were adopting a Marxist attitude, and that’s not so. It’s no accident that 'Citizen Kane' (1941) is banned in Russia. They don’t like it at all, any more than the capitalists like it. I am an anti-materialist. I don’t like money or power, or the harm they do to people. It’s a very simple old idea. And I am specially opposed to plutocracy; it’s American plutocracy that I am attacking, from different angles in several films: 'The Magnificent Ambersons' (1942), 'Lady from Shanghai' (1947), and 'Citizen Kane' (1941). Interviewer: And in 'Touch of Evil' (1958)? Welles: There too, but from now on I’m more interested in the abuse of power by the police and the State, because today the State is more powerful than money. So I’m looking for a way of saying that." (Orson Welles' interview with Bazin, Bitsch, Domarchi, 1958) P.S: On this day, 85 years ago, "Citizen Kane" (1941) premiered in New York City, USA.
