Another critical ingredient is successful conclusion to the off-path quest. I'm sure that lots of highly focused people spin their wheels on absolutely useless and unproductive quests. Note the number of, perhaps entertaining and engaging, but ultimately nuts people involved in UFOs, conspiracy theories of all types, exotic mathematical theories of the universe, spiritual bizzaro worlds, remote viewing, numerology, astrology, fortune telling, ghosts, black magic, voices from beyond the grave, etc., etc.
The ones who stumble on previously unrecognized avenues of truth get the gold. Reading the biographies of some of these people makes one wonder, and 'fraid to go there.

There's nothing Nieizsche couldn't teach 'ya 'bout the raising of the wrist. Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stewart Mill, of his own free will On half a pint of shanty was particularly ill.
Plato they say could stick it away, Half a crate of whiskey every day.

learned in high-level math classes: all measurement is done from a base: be it a point, line, or planeHigh level math? I learned that doing carpentry.

Einstein worked effectively with others all his life, collaborating with colleagues among other things for assistance with the mathematical proofs of his theories. He also had many warm relationships and was quite a lady's man during much of his life.
To: humblegunner

Why should I

Well it’s high-level because it takes a REAL long time before they begin to teach you how math relates to the real world. :)
I’m actually not kidding in this respect either, in my case it wasn’t until a post-calculus course called Linear Algebra that we even defined what math actually was.
To: ClaudiusI
how math relates to the real world The ant at the head of the line is Galileo.

To: humblegunner; restornu
I don't know if Restornu was trying to be nice or not.
However, as the father of an autistic child let me say I feel her comments are accurate.

Oh, I read that book! But she actually has autism. My beef is with inventing a slippery term like “autism spectrum disorder”, for no good reason whatsoever.
