Federal Employee Disability Retirement: Nascent knowledge

Posted onAuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

At what point does nascence become a maturity of device? Is it linear time, or merely to exist within a pendulum of boredom where thoughts have moved on to other matters? Youth, in general, is expected to engage in folly; but of nascent knowledge, where the appended concept of the latter connotes an established fact, a truism tested, and a hypothesis verified – but yet to be tested by time-worn principles and assimilated into the cauldron of society’s greater mixture of things working, defects allowable, and warts acknowledged as harmless.

Another way to put it is encompassed in the reference of kicking the proverbial can down the road into that distant and obscure future.
