Knowledge is a task-oriented passion.
They use their time, money, and energy for gaining
reasoned evidence.
Note
I give no guarantees about the success of these moments of passion.. Success depends on the invitee, the situation, the timing, etc. However, every moment of passion in front of bystanders is an invitation for the bystanders to support you. The support probably won’t come immediately, but it probably wouldn’t come at all without an invitation.
Sincerity is necessary for any moment of passion to be effective. Insincerity could create backlash.
