I’m too busy to post anything of true value, so here is some wisdom from Omond Solandt, whose professional biography I’ve almost completed.

“One of the very real dangers to our North American civilization is our worship of conformity. In almost every walk of life the person who conforms most pliably to the accepted standards of dress and behaviour is most likely to succeed. We must recognize that this enforcement of conformity will finally result in universal mediocrity. New ideas, especially in human relations and often even in science, come from those who refuse to conform.”

Omond McKillop Solandt, 1954

Hail, hail.
