And what is the sharpest blade? The keenest edge?
A saber, a scimitar, a katana?
How about a scalpel or a razor? Maybe obsidian.
The sharpest object in the world is believed to be a tungsten wire exposed to an electric field in the nitrogenous environment of a field ion microscope — reducing the wire down to a needle with the width of a single atom.
It doesn’t get much finer than that.
However, the sharpest blade to which I’m referring is the human mind.
But a keen intellect like yours already picked up on that, right? You’ve pieced it together. You’ve puzzled it out. You keep your own brain acutely-honed, able to pick up on the minutest and most minuscule minutiae. Your logic is not to be trifled with. Your reason remains a paragon of perception and of paramount preeminence.
You see a puzzle, a labyrinth, an enigma — you put your mind to the mental grindstone, sharpen your thoughts to the task at hand, whet the edge of your wits like a razor honed on the barber’s strop — and with your thoughts cutting through the fog of mystery, misdirection and illusion, seek the truths hidden within the center of the maze.
But for those of us not gifted with your single-atom’s width intellect, we’ll just have to continue honing and whetting our minds at Escapism Portland till our own blades cut deeper. Every Sherlock needs a Moriarty to balance the equation after all.
