The Way We Are Knowledge and Power

The Way We Are: ; The Way We Are; Knowledge and Power. By Fat Albert 5 comments. There is still another thing to be observed.[1] A good many people who are especially efficient in their trades desire to be known as especially efficient in some other and remote circle.[2] It is historic that a certain regent was happy when his very modest flute-playing was praised; a poet was pleased when his miserable drawings were admired; a marshal wanted to hear no praise of his victories but much of his very doubtful eclamation.[3] The case is the same among lesser men.[4] A craftsman wants to shine with some oolishness in another craft, and the philistine is happiest when he is considered a devil of a fellow.'' The importance of this fact lies in the possibility of error in conclusions drawn from what the subject himself tries to present about his knowledge and power.[5] With regard to the ...
