Thank you for writing this and recommending the original essay. My mental health isn’t so well lately, but these philosophical articles that are full of wisdom and motivation, in a sense, have been helping me cope a little better. I strongly think this is a must read for those struggling with self-doubt and irrational fears of failure, or those just looking for a little mental boost :D
While I largely agree with everything put forward with regards to how you're laying out Emerson's view of things, I disagree with it in part. I think people have to have a good way of thinking outside of the way society is, I don't think we should completely disconnect ourselves from society, morally speaking. It's important to make sure you have some grounding in how society will view what you're thinking about and your ultimate decision.
