[“…we feast / On human heads, brought in on leaves,” – Wallace Stevens]
That is, their bright minds; nothing as gross as actually eating their heads, hair and eyes and all.
No, we cannibalize their ideas, steal their thoughts. Then we tell them that their life’s work, those theories that will change everything, … were thought of many years ago, ridiculed as foolish,
even then.
