The Spark:
But what if your mother, or father, (and society) are NOT conducive to your natural talents? Oh! What Lucky Men They WAS!
NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER INVENTION.

PASSION REQUIRES TEMPERAMENT AND CIRCUMSTANCE
Because you know it is about Life Itself: That Relational Thing.
Happy Birthday Sharon. She has been a libertarian activist for 50 years, and she hopes that she will have a few more years to fight for liberty. She is not slowing down if she can help it. She is finishing the libertarian feminist anthology, hoping to start a libertarian women’s magazine with Victoria Varga sometime this year, work on her book about American women resisters in the 19th century and other ideas in the offing. No rocking chair for her! Self and Herd-appointed Experts watch out.
Fred Rogers birthday.
Dr Randy Cima used Dr. Keirsey’s Temperaments and the collected techniques for corrective intervention to help troubled and troubledsome kids.
Surely You Infinitely Jest.
Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him,
Horatio. A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.
— Act V, Scene 1 (Hamlet, with Horatio)
The map is not the territory, but neither is a random (gaussian noise) sample, but they are both starts. They are better than nothing{the trivial group} or doG. And when they are combined intelligently, they are an unbeatable combination.
Keirsey’s law revised.
“You can’t beat first order statistics”— the herd(strong correlation),
— unless you know the first order correspondences too,
and you don’t get in the way.
… was the right answer for me at the time. But in a crazy and 40 years from recall, the answer was luckily wrongly incomplete.
No, it wasn’t Yorick who answered. That’s not right, he is dead? No, Yorick isn’t dead, he is a fictional CHARACTER. Can fictional characters, die? Or when do they die?
There is no correlation there? What is the correspondence?
A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose, by any other name.

He would use the word “love” of his players.
But, he was very gruff and tough. Beyond tough. A Stone-cold Leader. One of the 7 blocks of granite.
He demanded the best of each individual. He would do whatever it took to get his team to win.
The Commanding Leader
“I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious.”
— not by long shot.
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him… The unreasonable man adapts surrounding conditions to himself… All progress depends on the unreasonable man.” –George Bernard Shaw
He is unreasonable in his consistent integrity of his ideals.
Some say, because of that, he is unsafe at any speed of change.
He has always been Idealistic. THAT’S THE NATURE OF TEMPERAMENT.
He won’t change, he can’t change. He doesn’t compromise.
And he is unreasonable about that. Continue reading Unreasonable
He was the King: A Natural Caesar. Sid Caesar.
And he was a natural Entertainer from the start:
Max and Ida Caesar ran a restaurant, a 24-hour luncheonette. By waiting on tables, their son learned to mimic the patois, rhythm and accents of the diverse clientele, a technique he termed “double-talk,” which he would famously use throughout his career. He first tried his “double-talk” with a group of Italians, his head barely reaching above the table. They enjoyed it so much that they sent him over to a group of Poles to repeat his native-sounding patter in Polish, and so on with Russians, Hungarians, Frenchmen, Spaniards, Lithuanians and Bulgarians.
He was the King. Hail to King. Long Live the King. The King of early television comedy.
Dr. Randy Cima had a nice set of metaphors for the Four Temperaments, so kids and their parents could easily remember and relate to the Temperaments.
