All the best and brightest, at the very least, have colored outside the lines.
They know the inside of the box like the backs of
their hands. I imagine they all begin to grow bored with
it at one point or another.
It's evident in every artform and occupation.
Here I began to make a list, and gave up. Way too many examples of genius. Musicians, scientists, writers and philosophers and the way they overlap.
The box matters because it divides the inside from the outside.
The essence of genius is creativity. It's impetus is
inspiration. Along the way, the discipline of what
the box contains yields to the infinity outside of it.
It becomes an inculcation all it's own.
Those outside the box must still reach inside, yet,
those inside have no imperative to reach, or even look
out.
May the sun shine on those that bother to even look around.
Drinks for my friends.
Who I'd like to meet: George W. Bush so I could ask some pretty obvious questions and then berate him in a manner befitting an arrogant simple minded prick. Other than that, I can't really think of anyone I'm dying to meet, except maybe some dead people like Einstein or Darwin.
