Re: The Glenn Gould analogy borders on brilliance. On the other hand...

Clark,

Feynman apparently had an interesting personality. Where Gould was reclusive and introverted, contacting the World only when he had total control of the circumstances and the event could be crafted in private- he even did an interview in which he interviewed himself! How's that for one of the great benefits of schizophrania?- Feynman was seemingly opposite to Gould- outgoing and in a strange adolescent way an extroverted romantic. But, their common intensity and egocentricism of those two great minds both steered them to amazing creativity in their very different fields of pursuit- this by ignoring conventions and criticism.

We grow up don't we always speaking of the madness of artists and the "mad scientist" and I'm convinced that all creativity must contain a large proportion of madness- one is always suspending reality and substituting a non-linear alternative. I should like to write a book: "How to get the best from your mild Psychoses".

Cheers,

Bambi B
