Flexner was not the first to argue for the power of curiosity and imagination. In the “Usefulness of Useless Knowledge” he writes, “Curiosity, which may or may not even eventuate in something useful, is probably the outstanding characteristic of modern thinking. It is not new. It goes back to Galileo, Bacon, and to Sir Isaac Newton, and it must be absolutely unhampered.”
