How does an idea become a force? – The value of role models in evolution

Ideas become Forces when they are embodied in individuals.

Character, then represents integrity to this “body of ideas” or ideal.

People with extraordinary character thus embody ideals of a society.

It is through role-modeling by these individuals, that these ideas become worth living for, worth reshaping one’s own identity for.

It is these individuals, and those who they inspire, who become vehicles for the transformation of knowledge into a new society.
