First of all, thank ypu- I didn't...Dear ZZMike,<br />First of all, thank ypu- I didn't hope that somebody will read this writing with attention, my close friends are focused on energy.<br />About your kind remarks;<br />- re the Sturgeon saying it is an other generic idea and it belongs to the quality kitsch dichotomy;<br /><br />- Eos- the story is so well told by Fuhmann, it is more about stupidity, gaffes. The revesrse story- eternal youth with no etrnal life is about dumbing down of people, not leting them to grow up, to become mature. It is inspired by: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juvenile_hormone<br />At one of my former workplaces, the local Chemistry Institute it was a good team specialized in smart ecofriendly insecticides as<br />pheromones combined with traps and those juvenile hormones.<br />Societies use memes as such intellecticides. It is an efficient method, the most perfidious form of it is is the cult of celebrities.<br />Eventually Baucis and Philemon is mostly about marriage, matrimonial love. Based on our personal experience of 47 years and survival of a tragedy (autistic son who died at 31) the secret iscomplementarity nd both should be alpha characters.<br /><br />Peter<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326167780677397310.post-83112475207302659222012-11-12T20:34:18.298-08:002012-11-12T20:34:18.298-08:00Did you overlook Theodore Sturgeon's "90%...Did you overlook Theodore Sturgeon's "90% of everything is crap", or just assume that "everybody knows that"? (Which certainly be true.)<br /><br />About the unhappy Eos: The moral of that (and other) legends are that we should not wish for more than we can handle. (There's a saying about that.) In another story, from Ovid (Baucus and Philemon), those two treated Jupiter and Mercury (while the gods were traveling incognito) with kindness. The gods punished the others (who didn't), but gave the two a wish - whatever they wanted. They said that all they wanted was to be priests in the gods' temple, and that neither would outlive the other.<br /><br />They got what they asked for ... because it was right and proper, because it was within human grasp. Had they asked for power and gold, they would have been sorely disappointed.ZZMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16913899667726940233noreply@blogger.com
