List? Singular? I have a list of FRIAMers that I would like to share a week of conversation, beer, coffee, [hallucinogens] and music while exploring Lake Powell on a houseboat or floating the Colorado through the Grand Canyon.
A list of people I suspect are assholes, but whose image I am enthralled by, e.g. Timothy Leary. A topical list: e.g. Genghis Kahn on social order and governance. People who have shaped my own thoughts and ideas the most, e.g. Brigham Young, Alfred Korzibski, Carl Jung. Probably semi-fictional folk like Hermes Trismegistus. So many folk, so little time. And yes, there are a lot of women on my various lists. And yes, T.A.D.I.S. or holodeck or universal translator absolutely essential. davew On Tue, Mar 9, 2021, at 10:47 AM, jon zingale wrote: > "Who would be on your list?" > > I put more thought into this question over the last week than I thought > I would.
