Great minds tend to have a deeper understanding of complex ideas and can discuss them in a more insightful and nuanced way compared to average minds. They are often able to make connections between different concepts and think critically about various perspectives, leading to more profound and engaging discussions.
This quote is from Ralph Waldo Emerson, from his essay, Self-Reliance: A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. Emerson believed that people need to stop foolishly following everyone else, and become self-reliant. To break it down into plain English: "Foolish consistency" - doing something the same way over and over without a good reason "hobgoblin" - a monster or demon or, in this case, it means the thing that trips you up "little minds" - people who cannot think logically and rationally "little statesmen and philosophers and divines" - small-minded politicians, philosophers, and church officials Thus, following rules without reasons is the thing which hampers small-minded people.
Great minds typically think about complex and innovative ideas that challenge conventional thinking, push boundaries, and seek to solve important problems. They often focus on topics related to science, technology, philosophy, art, and social issues, striving to make significant contributions to their fields and society as a whole.
It is tempting to say because they have "a closed mind about closed minds", but mainly the reason for disliking closed minds has to do with feelings of value and worth which are denied those whose ideas and opinions are being shut out.
Enslaved people rebelled against their oppressors because they were fighting for their freedom and dignity, even when the odds were against them. The desire for liberty and the refusal to accept their unjust treatment pushed them to take action, despite the risks involved. They understood that resistance, no matter how small, was a way to assert their humanity and challenge the oppressive system.
Albert Einstein
If you spend your life worrying about what other people feel and think, you'll never have a life of your own. Do what you want to do and let the others talk. And remember this: Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events and small minds discuss people.
