Surprised by how many great scientists were intensely spiritual too. Makes me wonder if reason and religion are fundamentally connected, even though we see them as opposites.
Some examples: David Bowie, Albert Einstein, and Nikola Tesla.
โ€œSpiritual innovators have always been ignored and oppressed, even though they made tons of people tons of money even though they became very rich and powerful and influential the spiritual aspects of their inspiration were oppressed.โ€
Such a good essay.

โ€œNewton being the ultimate example. Maybe thinking that you can discover stuff about the universe that was previously hidden from the sum of human experience and knowledge requires a kind of faith, even if itโ€™s not what some would call โ€œreligiousโ€ faith.โ€
