People do a lot of thinking today, but they rarely need data or research to validate their opinions. If they feel it, then it is.
When I learned the scientific method a generation and a half ago, we were taught that a hypothesis was not considered law until tested over time. We were told that great minds once thought the sun revolved around the earth and that the earth was flat. That was a long time ago -- before Time magazine warned of a coming ice age.
Are great thinkers always right or do they simply think, pontificate, and publish?
You know who was a great thinker? Hazel. He had to work through a lot of cause and effect and overcome a moral dilemma before breaking Doc's arm. In the end, he executed a well thought out plan and the result was as predicted. He probably would have been a good president.
Hazel did not need a reset button. Maybe the Bear Flag Restaurant is the great 'thinkers' and 'creators' salon of today?
