2011.03.28 19:00 - Einstein, flakiness, loss

The Guardian for this meeting was SophiaSharon Larnia. The comments are by SophiaSharon Larnia. I forgot it was Monday and therefore was an hour late for my own goc session.Thankfully I have wonderful people covering my back, yay! Druth kindly claimed the log and must have sat there for a while alone until people arrived, thank you Druth!! Topics: Einstein, flakiness, loss.

iwandertoo Resident: waves

druth Vlodovic: you've shortened "pulse" I think
iwandertoo Resident: yes
iwandertoo Resident: haha
iwandertoo Resident: the essence of it
druth Vlodovic: I wish now I'd copied it when I saw it before
iwandertoo Resident: i have the original version
iwandertoo Resident: i'm sorry, need to go
iwandertoo Resident: next time i see you will send it
druth Vlodovic: ok
druth Vlodovic: thank you :)
druth Vlodovic: oh well, since I'm trolling profiles check this out :)
druth Vlodovic: to laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas before the crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

stevenaia Michinaga: I was watching a 2 hour show on Einstein recently, perhaps there
Paradise Tennant: einstein I never warmed to .. was really mean to his wife ..
druth Vlodovic: mysogyny is the wellspring of creativity
Paradise Tennant: lol druth I guess .. strong emotions are like an impetus they drive .. in a direction
stevenaia Michinaga: he asked to leave in return to his noble prize money he knew he would get some day
stevenaia Michinaga: asked her to leave
stevenaia Michinaga: so the story goes
Paradise Tennant: hmm which he blew in the market.. left her with two severely handicapped sons - no money and ran off with his cousin who was a teenager
Paradise Tennant: plus took papers they wrote together and took her name off of
Paradise Tennant: them
Paradise Tennant: generally pretty mean ..
stevenaia Michinaga: nods, meanness is such a strange "need"
stevenaia Michinaga: a strange way to feel better about yourself by deminishing those around you
Paradise Tennant: would not let her talk when there was company unless he spoke directly too her .. was much nicer to his second wife I think
Paradise Tennant: yes .. one should not diminish :)
stevenaia Michinaga: unfortunately brilliance and social adjustment can have little relationship to each other
Paradise Tennant: you are really only lessening yourself
