Re: Does this apply to Christopher Columbus?
I do not think so.
Christopher Columbus was smart, a visionary, who was obsessed with
his idea of making a great change and becoming famous and rich.
He was very curious, always learning from those around him.
He made many trips and learned, and passed on good information
to other influential people. He could have lived quite well
with his map making knowledge and abilities.

With a vision as powerful as his (however well, or not, it was applied), it was a total fanaticism that drove him.
