    I'm the polar opposite.

    Interesting.

    Can you give a practical example?

    I just don't know what being spontaneous is like.

    I'm a scientist, at least that's the profession I've chosen. And to be one you have to be methodical, or at least appear methodical, as I have learned to do.

    People understimate how spontaneous scientists can be.

    Anyway, since I'm undergoing this hero kick, I'll add you to my list of heroes. Were you a doctor, you'd be #2 right under bird. Possibly.

    Wow.

    Doctors are COLD BLOODED. Everything I'm not. So of course they are my heroes.

    You've shot up to number #6 or 7 or 8.

    No I'm not a physician, my doctorate is in analytical chemistry, plasma spectroscopy to be exact.

    I think it is neither. It is like a wild animal waiting to be released, but being held back by the future.

    Then if you reread my previous post with that in your mind, you know exactly how my mind works.

    Bird is as smart as he thinks he is. He is just entertaining himself here.

    Of course, we are all neither and both simultaneously.

    Happiness is a kind of unhappiness, and pain a kind of pleasure.

    Either way, when we set two Platonic categories in opposition, such as spontaneity and method, and we look for which predominates --- we are just exploring different paths in a forest we can't get out of.

    It's not a looking for the right answer kind of thing. It's a process-oriented kind of thing.

    Cate, great post.

    I think we should not analyse that much.

    On the one hand, I agree.

    On the other hand, I think it's ok so long as it's for fun.

    But anyway, sorry if I put you on the spot. Not that you mind that, necessarily.
