Daniel C Roper: Old Thoughts but Forever Truths

"It dawned upon me that interpretation of truth, or the righteousness of either side of a question depended upon the sources of information and an open-minded willingness to examine different views."

Daniel C. Roper's Autobiography, Fifty Years of Public Life, 1941

---

As applicable today in a social-media-driven world as it was in the rock-and-spear Stone Age, and all the eras in between. Daniel C. Roper was ​the United States Secretary of Commerce during Tom Watson's time at IBM. Fundamentally, thinking is important but also the sources of information that your thinking is founded on.

A good case for the social sciences and attaining a wide, generalized education.
