    Explore what passed for literature in the seventeenth century, and show me today our Miltons, our Voltaires, Our Mexwells. Where we have gained breadth we lost depth.

This is an unfair statement. I do not judge intelligence by the number of works someone subjectively deems as classical. I am attempting to understand the nature of systems intelligence. A cybernetic approach to understanding how intelligence manifests itself. I believe individual intelligence to be - to some degree - an illusion.

    If you want to temporally un-isolate yourself

Don't presume you know what I have, or have not read.
