      Ramón y Cajal writes: "[Contemplators] love the study of nature but only for its aesthetic qualities—the sublime spectacles, the beautiful forms, the splendid colors, and the graceful structures." Was he some variety of contemplator himself? See Recollections of My Life excerpt👇

      "...Cajal notes that a contemplator will master the finest artistic techniques 'without ever feeling the slightest temptation to apply them to a new problem, or to the solution of a hotly contested issue.'" The armchair philosopher, armchair artist, armchair neuroscientist.

      Perhaps Santiago Ramón y Cajal is even referring to the armchair (or meditation cushion) contemplative. This sort of "contemplator," however, ideally brings this aesthetic appreciation with them beyond the cushion and puts their art, their discoveries, into practice.

      The issue that Santiago Ramón y Cajal takes with this scholarly type is also his impracticality. Whether contemplative or intellectual, practical application is key. Spiritual matters are best put into practice for their liberating effects, not merely studied theoretically.pic.twitter.com/6RuIK3gR0x

      Like the others lacking in practicality, the instrument addicts fetishize the sparkling allure of technology to the neglect of implementation. "They are as fascinated by the gleam of metal as the lark is with its own reflection in a mirror." Santiago Ramón y Cajalpic.twitter.com/RCr3N6HlIJ

          Meanwhile, the misfit is one whose talents are mismatched to their environment. "Instead of being abnormal, misfits are simply unfortunate individuals who have had work unsuited to their natural aptitudes imposed on them by adverse circumstances." Santiago Ramón y Cajal

          Myopic theorists afflicted with confirmation bias "live in the clouds…As soon as they happen to notice a slight, half-hidden analogy between two phenomena…they dance for joy and genuinely believe that they are the most admirable of reformers," writes Santiago Ramón y Cajal. ☁️

          As for the megalomaniacs, "their eagerness is rendered sterile by a fatal flaw...always submerged in feverish activity, always revising, hatching the great embryonic work," they miss their chance as others stride ahead to crack the code, writes Santiago Ramón y Cajal.pic.twitter.com/7VWyNwlGQq
