Long Now: Views: Essays: "Every great man that I have known has had a certain time and place in their life that they use as a reference point; a time when things worked as they were supposed to and great things were accomplished. For Richard, that time was at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project. Whenever things got 'cockeyed,' Richard would look back and try to understand how now was different than then."
The Richard in question here is Richard Feynman. I wonder how you know you've found that reference point? Does the lack of such a reference point limit one's "greatness"?
