Montaigne locked himself in a tower and changed everything.
The lesson? We understand the world far more accurately when we think deeper, study things we don't know about yet, focus, experiment, and commit to precision.
Some people are simplyboth intelligent and humble. Intelligence and humility can absolutely coexist.
Sometimes, knowing you're right is not enough reason to press the point any further. So instead of engaging in an argument you would easily win; you step back, go quiet, and sit with your own thoughts. Realizing that distancing oneself is better.
That's not weakness. That's wisdom. Because the truth will eventually come out. The the truth will prove the point, so you don't have to.
