Seldon on Genius.
Dear Reader,
It
is my pleasure,
and my honor, as an elected member
of the Foundation Encyclopedia
Dialectica [F.E.D.] General Council, and as a voting member of F.E.D., to share, with you, from time to time, as they are approved for public release by the F.E.D. General Council, key excerpts from the internal writings, and from the internal sayings, of our co-founder,
Karl Seldon.
In the excerpt
below, Seldon states
his view regarding the value of intellectual brilliance.
Seldon --
“An individual’s intellectual
brilliance is of little value – is fundamentally wasted -- if that individual
uses that brilliance merely for show, for egotistical display, or to gain status
and/or power through the denigration of others.”
“Intellectual
brilliance is of substantial value only if it is used in the service of others,
for the benefit of all, and all the more so if the fruits of that brilliance
are offered to others anonymously.”
