I think the thread title should read, "upon s/he who" - you know, just in case. ;)

Is this just about inventions? Or also other accomplishments? Or was it meant to be a one-time declaration?
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
