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.
