 Carpentier is OK.  He's a LOT better than most of the idiots
on this NG.
 His only problem is that he fails to recognize that, regarding
our interactions, he is the lackey an I am the master.
 Maybe one day he will attain the necessary wisdom.
  

Well, I'm not saying he's not ok. I'm just describing him. Sartre was ok too. So was Allen Ginsberg, etc. But both were at the same time pretty sphincteral. They drew much of that they did or say, much of their wisdom, from their anus.
This reminds me of a funny night. When Ginsberg died (in 1990s), I sent a post to the Iranian forum informing them of his death and adding some harsh words about him, kind of ridiculing his way of being "intellectual".
But an hour or so later I remembered a report one of his friends had written I think around 1960 or so, about a few encounters with Ginsberg and other friends which was one of the best articles I'd ever read :-))) I remembered how Ginsberg was described in it, and how much I had laughed and enjoyed the article; then suddenly I felt I owed him an apology for saying those words on the day of his death.
So I went back to the computer (a funky one I had at the time - an AT&T Unix PC if you can believe it!) and got that old copy of "Horizon" from my library upstairs, in which the article had appeared, and typed the entire article carefully in a second post to that forum, after apologizing to the memory of Ginsberg :-)
I bet that post is still somewhere in the cyberspace. Google groups should have it if the Google Group's "owner" of that Iranian forum has not deleted it out of spite for me. A LOT of my articles in both physics and Iranian forums got deleted in the Google Group's archives of usenet. That's what happens when you leave a human in charge of other people's activities.
