@pratik I like the idea of out doing them at their own game. I find it a quite exquisite satisfaction to solve a problem generally considered unsolvable, like apprehending one’s own appetites, or discovering understanding rather than only familiarity.

I pine for an iconoclast of HST’s ferocity and R. Benchley’s wit. We need it.

[edit: I pine, of course—but 'A pine' in exchange for intellects jamming' that kinda jimmy? Worth it. ]
