@WideAperture I am fairly enamoured with the philosophy expressed by Ayn Rand in The Fountainhead. That is, the people who matter will understand what you have achieved & the opinion of those who don't think rationality doesn't make a diff. If you are vieded as great or a scmuck after you pass away, does it even give me o e nanosecond more of life? Not at all. Thus, why not be happy with what you have done, rather than the world's opinion of it. I would suggest that you read the poem Inventory by Dorothy Par3.
