Daniel C Roper: Old Thoughts but Forever Truths

1/19/2023

Daniel C. Roper, U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Discusses Different Viewpoints.

"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 a university's social sciences and attaining a wide, generalized education.
