I think it would be useful to consider all intelligentsia icons with a variety of moods. An aggressive Wittgenstein, or a happy-go-lucky Nietzsche. Which leads me to apologize to the room for my tirade about the idea of caricaturing the long list of billionaires like Oprah, Musk, Jobs et cetera. I have been reflecting on that thread and recognize belatedly that nobody was caricaturing those *people* so much as using their public personas en-caricature as archetypes... a pantheon of flawed human-esque characters who reflect our best and worst character traits perhaps. I have met only Jobs but once was close enough to Oprah I could have asked for an autograph, a selfie or maybe just photo-bombed... so none of these folks are "people" to me. I wonder if it is odd that I felt inclined to be protective of them as if they were? - Steve - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .
