an ode to logic

dreamwitchLogic is hot. To me, that is an irrefutable fact. I mean, whatever you may say attracts me in people, if I consider someone to lack a basic understanding of logic (even if I do! damn, I know I do... but I know it when I see it-- see, logic, to me, is like art, or else I'm a savant in denial), I will... quickly cease being attracted to that person. It's not just Spock (my One True Love at age 16). It's Sherlock Holmes (One True Love at age 10), Isaac Asimov (guy I decided to name a male child after at age 12 or 13), etc etc. Scientists get me hot in general. God, how pathetic. But true.
Anyway, here: logic articles on the internets are sexy, but logical refutations of said articles are sexier.
I do kind of want to seize the day, learn more logic/science and be my own hotass or whatever (and learning more math is on the to-do list next year... wish me luck). Still... I've made peace with the fact I'll never actually become a biophysicist, and truthfully I don't want to anymore. And I've mostly made peace with the fact that I'm sort of measuring guys' brains and deciding that physicists are... bigger, and I'd like, almost flirt with one... if I was the flirting type. Thank the gods I'm not, I guess. I'm sure physicists & mathematicians everywhere just breathed a sigh of relief. :> Also, my mom married a mathematician, and unfortunately, he's not actually hot. >____>;;;
....Blame the article for this rather disturbing post. >______>;;
You know what's *got* to be hot? A physicist writer & archeologist who's into like, searching for lost cities and is sarcastic all the time. Like some unholy mix of Spock, Indiana Jones and Andrew from Buffy. :D

Date: 2010-01-07 06:39 am (UTC)I often hang out w/ some technically "genius" ppl, (and grew up w/ some v odd family friends) and really I'm mostly thinking things like "ok you make a zillion $$ at your computer job, yet you have still to buy a pair of pants that fit properly or understand that others do not love your ignoring the conversational flow to tell your own stories. *insert diff types of intelligence here... or, alternately, that I am shallow* :DD
I agree w/ you on Holmes. Cool pt that he was drawn to see the *right* things. (One thing I find interesting about, I guess, levels of smartness/genius is that it's often marked by ppl finding certain things very easy or natural or obvious...) I think one of the cool things Doyle did bring was the structure and process and technique.
lol I have no idea about the Myers-Briggs types. I admire structure, but it's very complicated and seems both too specific and vague for my brain to wrap around it! I wanna be a type with a cool name. "Dragon Lady" "Heart-eating Lion" "Special Unicorn" "Person made of Win" "The Magician" Something cool to make up for my boring sign and chinese year.
