If only for the theory of introversion and extroversion, and to totally peeve Behaviourists and their pidgeons.

You are welcome, De Chardin's theory of the Noosphere is a thriller but edges towards flakey, IMHO.
BTW, really, rugby has little to do with testosterone. -
A Jungian might say that for a period of time Jung carried the Father, Wise Mother or Wise Old Man archetype (I dunno) for you, and quite reasonably you grew up and found you're own way.
Jungians call it individuation, BTW, Jung said..."I'm glad I'm Jung and not a (insert expletive here) Jungian", hehe. His book Seven Sermons Of The Dead is pretty out there mysticism, but you may have moved on... -
If you ascribe to the Tao, the hard will always be overcome by the soft. Yes woman can produce little men and men can't, but then maybe gender is a meme.
Language cannot be a meme, because you need language to describe it, therefore, language used to describe language would fall into...
..."in the land of perpetual darkness there are answers to questions that have (sic) yet to be asked..." Monkey (Chronicles of Monkey and Tripitaka). Or, an eyeball cannot see itself, or an observed atom changes due to the observer observing it.
Personally I think it's time to colonize Venus. -
I ascribe to the Meat For Sex theory. but I couldn't explain it here. There is another book called The Goddess Versus The Alphabet not nearly as funny as Meat For Sex but less open to derision.
Laurie, I just loved her goggles and swim hat and that she dressed up as a man to talk with old William S Burroughs. Language is not a virus. -
And Astarte, otherwise Venus, the 8 pointed star that tracks it's own shape through the heavens (the only one to do so, round the Sun, hence the Sun symbol inside The Star of Astarte (linked to Iraq), she is also notably the only female deity etc. I have indeed studied these, in part under The Mother archetype.
Because Christianity purged The Goddess leaving the quarternity (as a symbol of wholeness) to become The Trinity. Mary was assumpted by Papal Bull, round 1948 (see other thread) but only in Her virgin aspect, however Chritians are all born in sin.
These things have IMHO far reaching consequences for us all. -
How did the surrealist change the light bulb?
A fish. -
There's enough there to get you into a whole mess of trouble with every kind of conservative group known to mankind, and it's not even flakey stuff.
Pauli and Jung posited Synchronicity as the fourth acausal principle, and with credentials like what Pauli has, you know it's going to be interesting. -
And this guy Teillhard de Chardin whom I read as a child, due to my very liberal Catholic step-Grandmother. Suffice it to say Pere Pierre was an excommunicted Jesuit (and paleontologist), so Mr Carl Jung was a sitter for my catholic tastes.

Crikey indeed, and this well after Jung was dead. Jung also did some work with Wolfgang Pauli.
