The Virtue of New Ideas
“Be not astonished at new ideas; for it is well known to you that a thing does not therefore cease to be true because it is not accepted by many.”
— Baruch Spinoza
The Dutch philosopher reminds us all that just because the public hasn’t yet accepted an idea, it doesn’t mean that idea isn’t correct. In fact, the entire history of human progress consists of brilliant new ideas that were laughed at or even scorned initially, then eventually embraced and accepted for their truth.
