Thankyou for writing this. As a humble seer trying to find his way in this world of bean-counters, I really appreciate it.

The usual names are "theory-builders" vs. "problem-solvers", but these two protoypes of mathematicians also appear under various other appellations. Some other names are strategists vs. tacticians, "monkeys that climb up the tree" vs. "monkeys that climb down", globalists vs. localists, and folowing א ח ד ה ע ם, I once called them prophets vs. priests.

The problem with this is that the Seers tend to sound like crazy people (and alot of them probably are just nuts). Especially to a craftperson, they really struggle to follow the seer. John Baez is a good example of someone who can balance the Seer with the craft, but i've noticed he will team up with someone who is more seer than he is to get those really good ideas.
