You are so correct and yet you forgot the worst culprit, the man in the mirror. He will smile at you and yet undermine you. He will make the face of a man having fought the thought through and is all in, and yet?

I am almost seventy and have the scars to show for the battles waged but I remember a university prof who believed his job was to teach how to learn, not thermodynamics.

He believed that the learning was not in itself that special since it was known by so many, it was in the finding out and trying to make it fit that success lay, without the dreamer then what? You can always find a drafts-person, or a programmer but learning to think and learn with only some guidance stretched the mind yielding the next step, creation.

I am doing a new startup and cruising the university looking for the odd peg out.

I wish you a lifetime of problems to solve and solutions to create to make ours a better world.
