Primary Evidence

"One must, like Christopher Columbus or Henry the Navigator, venture into the unknown. Back then, the Earth was still considered flat. There was only coastal shipping. Yet a person, even though aware of the flat Earth, dares to venture further and further out to sea. He sees no land, nothing at all. He simply continues sailing in the trust that he will make progress. Through this “crossing over the thresholds,” as the philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte put it, one gains insights that allow one to shape life more creatively, productively, energetically, and insightfully in the future. In this way, many wonderful things have happened to me that I never expected—simply because I did not try to calculate them in advance."
