One claim that is used to attack liberalism is that it supports freaks, weak people and losers.

What these people do not understand is that there are all sorts of people whom they think to be freaks, weak people or losers who make major contributions. This especially means people such as teachers and scientists. Most of business sells comes from
science, and without science capitalism would be nothing more than exchange of basic commodities at the level it was in Medieval Persia. As for teachers, they educate both the businessman and the worker, and without them neither would have the skill that
he needs to do his work.

Many of these people use the theory of evolution to support their behavior. As someone once said, the problem with the world is that the freaks don’t know their place. What they do not understand is that, if there is such a thing as evolution, it is
driven by mutation. Which means that it is the people whom they regard to be freaks who lead the whole process forward.

Of the world’s greatest contributors, very few were what these people would regard to be normal. Thomas Edison went insane. Steven Jobs was a hippie. Bill Gates was a geek. Dostoyevsky, Byron, Nietzsche and any number of others were mentally ill.
Socrates, Mohammad and Thomas Jefferson were pedophiles. None of these people were anything close to being normal. And yet without these people the normal person would have very little of what he has.

As for liberal constituents being weak, the answer is no. The Michigan and Oregon workers are nowhere close to being weak. Neither are the folks in the inner city. It is wrong for people to regard religious people to be weak; but it is also wrong to
regard these people as being weak. Any number of them are strong enough people.

There will always be people stronger than you, and there will always be people weaker than you. I was the shortest and weakest kid in class, but now I can do 200 fingertip push-ups and am in a better shape than most people my age, including people who
have been jocks. If you are weak, it is a solvable problem. Do as I have done. Do exercise and martial arts.

If you are a freak, that can actually be an opportunity. It is to come up with original things that others haven’t done before. If you think in original ways, then you can come up with original thought. That is not a demerit, that is a merit. And
humanity owes vastly to people who do such a thing.

As for winners-and-losers, that is simply a wrong way of thinking. Once again, these people would regard to be losers all sorts of people who make major contributions, such as the scientists, the teachers and the police. For as long as you need these
people you have to be good to them even if you regard them to be losers. And people in business – and people in general – very much do need these people.

I seek to address attacks against what once was a noble and beautiful ideology. I have known liberal people with major personal accomplishments, and I have been very impressed with what I have seen in them. I want these people to have influence, and I
want these people to have a legacy.

As for the people whom they represent, some have solvable problems and others are significant contributors. And it is important that both be seen for what they are.
