In two completely different times, two men stood, each in his own way, against the tide, driven by a deep faith in one idea:
The truth cannot be defeated.
Giordano Bruno, the Italian philosopher who challenged the church with his ideas, said:
I believe that the truth will always remain - it always does.
He said it knowing that the price of his words could be his life... and it indeed was.
But what he believed in became reality, and the ideas he was judged for later became the foundation of modern science.
Centuries later, Dr. Nicholas Kokalios, founder of the Pi Network project, appears to say:
Those who obtained Pi without expecting profit will return with great achievement.
As if echoing Bruno, but in the language of this era:
The pursuit of a noble idea, even if people mock you or doubt you, is the true path to making a difference.
What is the link?
The truth does not need an audience... it needs believers.
And anyone who runs after a principle, not after profit, is the one who makes history.
Times change, but great principles... remain.
