23637 - The second order knowledge

N. Lygeros

The second order knowledge
is a form of
intellectual humility
in which
really smart people
can accept
to be unable
to solve
a problem
for many years
and continue
the research
above
the reaction
of failure
to finally
find
the solution
in a game
of the theory
with the obstination
of serendipity
because they
need it.
