Greetings dear Andrew,
It is like that because you have cultivated your imagination from
childhood like Einstein and Faraday did to see the importance of little
things in addition to big things stressing their importance.
[Thanks Alfred for calling me just at the right point of time.]
Although we should have thought of all 7Es, I want to keep it short. Think
of sureness ("identity-contextuality"). As the identity of a society
boasting of its strength get sheared from its context in which the little
things are, important because of their weakness, the contextless identity
leads that society into a suicidal cultism. Such an immensely impaired
sureness causes all the other six 7Es to become seriously impaired too. No
matter how eager that society will try to repair, for example, its
wholeness, it will move from less to greater fragmentation.
Einstein and Farady knew why they had to stay humble and gentle. Without
it they would have lost their sureness and thus their power of
imagination.
With care and best wishes
