Reading Lloyd Douglas' "Disputed Passage". Anyone else read this? Douglas has some very interesting ideas about science. Any thoughts?

 

For those who haven't read it, the author proposes that the best scientists are the ones that can practice an extreme level of self-discipline. Self sacrafice, in the sense of completely giving oneself to the advancement of science for science's sake, is a necessary part. Personal life, family, recreation, excess, etc. must all be excluded. Complete devotion and the giving over of one's life in the name of science is necessary to be th best.

Any opinions??
