AI Roundtable Open Poll · 1 models
In Samuel Johnson's Rasselas there's a quote that goes "Nothing [...] will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must be first overcome." This is a great example of acting despite obstacles and objections, of decisive action. I want a truly exhaustive list of works which have that quote at their core: decisive action. Works that have more quotes and passages like the one from Rasselas. Give me an exhaustive list of works. We will exclude self-help, pop-science, pop-psychology and overtly religious texts. Focus on non-mainstream and lesser-known works (full works, not just a poem or an essay). Focus on works that function as exhortations, as the cure for the paralysis to act.
Answer: Lesser-known classics like Giordano Bruno's *The Heroic Enthusiasts* offer the ultimate philosophical cure for intellectual inaction. (1 of 1 model agreed)
