Poetpaterna

The other day I wrote that someone was a poetpaterna. It sounded like the right word; in the latin dictionary, and the amercun dictionary, and so on, it didn't turn up but it sort of jibed with what I was trying to say.

So, here is the definition of poetpaterna, if it's up to me: click here or here or here or here or here.

Cheers, Mr. Glass. I thinks you are up there with Mr. Eliot, Mr. Beckett, Mr. Anderson and probably a few others. Keep writing, please, taking pictures, please, and being a maker of companies, or whatever you want, please.

"Blown away by picasso at the moma...": It's how you frame it, right?

"Our ideas can enslave or liberate us.

The shift from medievalism to the modern age was

a change in ideology, not just in theory...

...the transition from one intellectual age to another can be

traumatic and protracted. Some people never do make

the transition and remain resident in the old worldview,

their ideological comfort zone.

Those who see the future and ride ahead to meet it are often

thought of as mad or heretical, or worse.

The modern worldview is dominated still

by the ideology that came to replace medievalism:

the ideology of rationalism,

objectivity and of propositional knowledge.

These ideas frame our attitudes and theories every bit as much

as myth and superstition underpinned

the painstaking calculations of the medieval astronomers.

Just as their ideology created the framework for their questions,

so does ours."
