You know, some of us spend all this time tilting at windmills. You can’t even tell who is a crank or genius until well after he’s dead. WTH is the point? Really. 🙂
I read up on a few ancestors who were fire breathing Puritans. If you met my Grandfather, you’d think no time had passed since the English civil war. Maybe since the middle ages. Except he knew physics and chemistry. But the personality was the same.
I sit here obsessed with morality and ethics for no reason of my own choosing other than some strange mechanism drives me to.
And you wonder how much of life is in our genes? I don’t.
I don’t think I’m much different from that man 400 years ago. And I kind of doubt that he was much different from the man 400 years before him. Or the one two hundred years before him. A thousand years of genes doing the same thing. And if we met we’d recognize the same traits in one another.
