Good minds are always in demand. A character who understands how may or may not always have a job, but the one who understands why will always be his employer. Good thinkers solve issues, they never run out of ideas for building organizations, and they are always looking forward to the future.
Good thinkers are seldom at the mercy of vicious persons who may take advantage of them or try to deceive them, people like Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, who once bragged, "What luck for rulers that men no longer believe." Those who widen their ideal wondering method can govern yourself.
