1%ers all
Just took the K/M B web test and miracles of miracles the results were "Portrait of an
Architect
(iNTp)". In as much as "Architect" is what I do to feed my face and keep a roof over
my head it's
somewhat comforting to have an appropriate personality. However, that the Hells Angels
motorcycle
gangs also claim 1%er's status based on their purported unshackling of freedom from
social
constraints is not entirely lost on me.
John has raised an issue that recently resurfaced in my thoughts.

The rereading of the first three chapters of Lila for the focussed discussion brought
to mind an
incident of loaning a copy of Lila to a women friend some years ago and having it
returned a year
later unread. Her primary reason was that she just couldn't get past negative female
image
portrayed in chapter one and then "all that philosophy"!
Why is it that, if as John suggests that personality types are rather evenly
distributed acrossed
gender lines, that few women, either historically or as evidenced in these forums, are
attracted to
philosophy or to philosophize? And does this tendancy doom philosophy as a project to
truely improve
our understanding of the human condition?
