Quote of the Week: The Power of Unwitting Heros


Sc4-siegfried2"The strength of Siegfried, Parsifal, and similar characters lies in their not knowing the laws that rule the social world…  The naive hero has a seemingly reckless and childlike disregard for social conventions.  Ignorance of the status quo and so a lack of respect for it, is a great weapon with which to revolutionize the social order."

                    Gerd Gigerenzer

                    " Gut Feelings"

                    p. 221
