He who is JohnGalt:

You seem to write much about "random interplay." Thought, poetry, etc. What you cannot explain, you project onto this random coincidence. What is your rationale? Please quantify this randomness. The joke about yourself aside, you credit Da Vinci and Rand with genius. What makes them so? This randomness of which you speak? Or is it your argument that genius as you define it supersedes this randomness?

Any "image" or "mathematical abstraction" you ever thought of could easily be described in common terms. That is no coincidence. You are bound to your vocabulary. Conjure an image you cannot describe. Construct a mathematical abstract you cannot comprehend. Come on Homer, you can do it... Doooh! In your supercilious delirium, you have again limited mankind to your own perspective.

What would Helen Keller have "thought?"

Randomly,
BJ
