Ralph Waldo Emerson’s true daring lay in his willingness to remain intellectually agnostic, drawing from multiple sources and working both across and between disciplines. He thought about cognition and perception, considered reason and intuition, and believed in history as a rich, vital form of biography. Most importantly, he resisted doing things the same way twice: he championed getting out of your own way, taking chances, making discoveries, and trusting your gut. All life is an experiment, he once observed. The more experiments you make the better.
