Re: denny with a "d"
I LIKE that poem, denny. I really think you should focus on original poetry revolving around such themes. If (as Sir Arthur Eddington said) ''the Universe is not only queerer than we imagine, it's queerer than we can imagine,'' then surely there is a place for your slightly askew perspective in trying to imagine it poetically. And this is surely ...

P.S.: A textbook case of archetypes in action
It occurs to me that my response, in what I said and how I said it, is a textbook example of Jungian psychology (via John Beebe's theory of archetypes ) in action. Here an ENFP engages his supportive, decision-making capacity based on personal values in a Good Parent role (that's the archetype): a role with a particular tone of voice that brooks ...

RE: brillance and chaos
And I'm not sure I agree with your opening quote either. It's something than an ENTP, even more than an ENFP, might be apt to say; but whatever else might be said, not every brilliant person is motivated by a drive for ''xenic uniquity'' as you are. Some really brilliant people loathe chaos and do everything in their power to tame it (or even ...

Re: "Number 2" - Critical Comments Welcome
Hi Ted, As I've just pointed out, Denny is drawing upon his personality type and the common parlance by which particular cognitive processes within it express themselves. I know that Denny will read this too, so speaking as one who regards you both well, let me put it this way. When someone gets caught up in a belief in his own uniqueness -- and ...

Re: "Number 2" - Critical Comments Welcome
denny: OK - I have managed to convince myself that, with the help of Ted, that this poem needs to go in a different direction - maybe employ the concepts and ''jargon'' of ''Number Theory'' buried within the text itself. Number 2 “When One made love to Zero, spheres embraced their arches and prime numbers caught their breath''Raymond ...

Re: should an artist be allowed to change his or her work ?
denny: http://www.creativityspot.com/pics/Mona%20Lisa%20(Gioconda)%20by%20Leonardo%20Da%20Vinci.jpg Possibly one of the most famous paintings of all times. One a King loved so much that he created a whole Museum just to house her captivating smile. Yet, it was a work which even Leonardo never considerd finished - and which he kept for himself ...

I see Feynman is just as pseudo-intellectual...
...but at least he's genteel about it. I say ''pseudo-intellectual'' because if he believes this Just-So Story from first to last, then I feel sorry indeed for him, as I do for his peers. (I gather that you don't quote this poem because you agree with its underlying philosophy.) Information, in the real world, doesn't arise from randomness or ...

Re: And how would you classify Gluck herself ?
denny: My ''guess'' would be INFJ - with the emphasis on the J. As an INFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in primarily via intuition. They place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They hold a special place in the heart of people who they are close to, who ...

Re: ()() This parody almost makes itself...
denny: As a long time ENTP who finds himself drifting toward INTP - and further still toward INFP - I wonder if we are not all really two people - the facade which we show to the outside world and the truer self which exists only inside and which we somehow refuse to recognize. Yet with the years, we seem to put away the games and come to ...
