His inventions could have made a great difference to the ant colony with their wide variety of uses but instead they were ignored, leaving Flik to fend for himself and do what he wants. 
"And we are now men, and must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent destiny; and not pinched in a corner, not cowards fleeing before a revolution, but redeemers and benefactors..."

This quote from the song connects to the Self-Reliance text because it shows that people are too focused on materialistic things instead of focusing on improving the quality of one's life.

He revolutionized post-impressionistic art. Yet during his time he was extremely misunderstood. He sold very few paintings and his artistry was usually ignored, due to his mental issues. This clearly fits Emerson's idea of misunderstood geniuses.]]> 2020-01-24 21:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/drojas3909/w6vp4ljpgd2v/wish/435867389 drojas3909 https://padlet.com/drojas3909/w6vp4ljpgd2v/wish/435868887 "Most men gamble with her, and gain all, and lose all, as her wheel rolls."
