  1. Indian genius Rabindranath Tagore barely attended school & never completed his degree.

    He received his main education from private tutors at home & through self-learning, yet he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.

    I think school, college, & university education are overrated, except for STEM fields.

    Prioritize Knowledge over Formal Education.

  19. Behind us, Glencoe of the Slaughter,
    Achnacone, field of dogs,
    Achtriachan, where the water-bull
    lurks among thin fish tickled by weed,
    and the Great Herdsman of Etive
    over us like a black axe…

  24. Q: How Did The War Of The Elves And Sauron Begin?

    ANSWER: I received the following question in April 2026 (slightly edited)

    The War of the Elves and Sauron begins in 1693. But Sauron does not attack Eriador until 1695. How exactly did the war begin? Wars normally begin with some sort of battle or attack. (e.g., the War of the Ring began with the first attacks on Osgiliath and Mirkwood.)
