 CommunityTalent: Arrogance and ModestyI. J. Singh, 01.18.2012The pursuit of plumbing is not necessarily inferior to the pursuit of philosophy. If that were the case, a society would have neither good plumbers nor good philosophers. For such a society, neither its pipes nor its ideas will hold water.
