It depends on each, I believe, this is mainlly due to their spaciotemporal position. For example, Socrates believed that slaving was neccesary for human societies to exist, whiles Russell was taken many times to jail for manifesting against war. Their opinions are afected by conditions, but their greatenesss isn't, if you don't believe this, read: Marcus Aurelius was roman emperor, whiles Epictetus was slave. And there was nearlly no spatial or temporal difference: one was born just after the other's death, and one was greek the other roman.

It is then the responsibility of the smart people to educate the masses without physical or mental oppressions.

Yes. But up to what point should the masses should here the already mentioned cosmic simphony, in order so that they can comprehend the misteries and wonders, but a "revolution of the masses", as the title of the best known book of the best known spanish modern philosopher said, doesn't happen?

back to the cosmological constant, it is the inverse of area but if you notice in the equation for continuous space, it can be written as the product of force and the rate of change of area. Taking the natural logarithm of ln(S) gives the lnF+ln(area)-ln(time). If F=1 then ln(F)=0. So that ln(area)-ln(time)=52ln(1/Λ). Or ln(area)-ln(time)=52ln(-Λ).
