@gutenberg_org @wikipedia could never stop wondering if he was born anywhere else how bigger would his impact be? With better support especially in his early years he might have just done all the things he held in his head.
@__fin__ @gutenberg_org @wikipedia Or he might not have done anything because his family culture and birthplace had enormous influence on him and his thinking.
@Smrki @gutenberg_org @wikipedia I wasn't thinking of that when commenting but thanks for pointing that pov out too. I was referring to his opportunities for education in early childhood and later in adolescence. You know, if he was born in Cambridge or something he just might have achieved more.
