gonzo... you need to get out more and interact with people. There are a lot of creative people out there that aren't known to your crowd and..... don't commit sucide or are particularly prone to depression.

but... wallow in your shallow little world.

Laz fears what he does not understand. Ridicule is his defense mechanism. Maybe after he writes a few bestsellers and becomes a cultural icon, he will understand. Until then he's a rebel without a clue.

How you can jump from my presenting scientific research on the link between a strong creative drive and depression, to my somehow belonging to some cultural elite is really something to behold. With that kind of spin control, you certainly could have a career in our current Government.

Are you kidding, he coined the term "sky accountant", one of the best AH related witticisms ever created.

so... rpm... until you write a few bestsellers you are not creative? And.. if you do then any excess can be excused because welll.... scientific study shows that you are so special that you are entitled to be a POS and a coward?

His writing was OK at times but he wasn't an icon of my culture. He was a poster boy for yours and now you are pissed because he proved that he was a wuss... something his detractors allways knew. He talked tough tho.

socrates - suicide?

Huh?

JB88 · « **Reply #69 on:** February 28, 2005, 11:06:43 AM »

"The jurors were next asked to determine Socrates' penalty. His accusers argued for the death penalty. Socrates was given the opportunity to suggest his own punishment and could probably have avoided death by recommending exile. Instead, the philosopher initially offered the sarcastic recommendation that he be rewarded for his actions. When pressed for a realistic punishment, he proposed that he be fined a modest sum of money. Faced with the two choices, the jury selected death for Socrates.

The philosopher was taken to the near-by jail where his sentence would be carried out. Athenian law prescribed death by drinking a cup of poison hemlock. Socrates would be his own executioner. "

he drank the hemlock.

its a technicality, but it was listed as a suicide.

"in the immortal words of socrates...i drank what?!" - real genius

Basicly, yes. You may think your creative. Your friends and family may tell you that you're creative. But untill you have reached that level where society tells you that you're creative and starts to demand it in everything you do or they rip you to shreds...you don't have a clue.

People operating at that level for that long are going thru things that you and I can't totally comprehend without the experience of actually being there. It has happened on more than one occasion as JB88 pointed out.

You didn't like Thompson's work, you're entitled to that. Trash talking a dead man in a memorial thread, well that's very special and creative on your part.

JB88 · « **Reply #71 on:** February 28, 2005, 11:24:13 AM »

well said rpm.

DoKGonZo · « **Reply #72 on:** February 28, 2005, 12:23:34 PM »

Yeah .... rpm nailed it.

As for the whole "everyone is creative" bent, well, yeah ... every human is capable of creative endeavors and thought.

But I know from the tech field that if you put 50 engineers in a room ... all people who "create" software ... there will be at most 2 who really have that bulb lit. These are the guys who have the idea that the others build. Who see the end of the path and over the next hill before the others are even walking on cobblestones.

If you look at art, music, and film ... how many rip-offs are there compared to how many originals? Sure, the imitators are "creating" music, movies, and paintings ... but their creations are themselves derivative. There is no new spark of life. And it's being able to ignite that spark from the ether that is what differentiates the true creative spirits amongst us.

Jimi Hendrix, Stanley Kubrick, Salvidor Dali, Albert Einstein ... creative geniuses. I don't know if I'd put HST in that company, but he would be welcome at their House, and they at his.

It was before my time, but I always heard you and DD were antagonists, back in the day.

Yet, this tactic (flaming by comparing someone to someone else you hold in contempt) is something I've noticed you both tend to. Wassup there?

PS - I'm with rpm on this one, opinions as to suicide, lifestyle or whatever notwithstanding, its a memorial thread, the trashing could wait 'til the body's cold. Sheesh.

Lazs uses the same (lame, hopeless, brainless) techniques as Shrubert. That's the only reason I compare 'em. It's basic Intardnet 101 stuff that's been fouling the air for 30 years.

DD and I only tangled over one issue - he felt the P38 should be armed with photon torpedos and given warp drive. And I felt that was overkill, and probably wouldn't improve DD's score anyway.
