My God, I just realized what Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, etc, must have gone through.
Here I am, posting free-form thoughts on trading, on a trading site no less, with posts comprising mostly of numbers indicating action, that give the these thoughts a quantitative aura as best as it can be given in this format, and further very little in the way of subjectivity. Even the subjectivity is qualified. Still, many have a hand in crucifying me. Good thing I have a good sense of humor. Nothing is a greater teacher than the jungle.
Now, imagine the above scientists - they had to deal with the general public who were mostly innocent morons, who believed the earth was flat and the universe rotated around the earth!
What courage they must have had. Wow. Unless I lived it even in this microcosm of experience, I never would have understood even in this minute way the real world of what they went through. I should be thankful for the lesson.
Major Kudos to the few that stood against the many.
