Which makes me think of a saying. One that I remember. "Sophia Loren without a nose is not Sophia Loren". Here's another one "if my grandmother had balls she'd be my grandfather".
The point is PG wrote it so just like if anyone of note wrote it it would be more of interest than the same thought from anyone else.
After all these are analog thoughts and subjective this isn't science.
- debacle 12y agoWhen a renowned writer writes something weak, it doesn't give credence to the piece, it takes credence from the writer.
- npizzolato 12y agoI'm also surprised people actually find the contents of this blog post insightful, but I suspect it has far more to do with who wrote the article. I mean, is it not obvious that you can take away new ideas from reading a book multiple times at different stages of your life? As a simplified example, movies with twist endings hinge on exactly that fact -- armed with new information, events you have already experienced take on new meaning. More "important" things will have more significance, but it's the same idea. Is it not obvious that your own world views are the result of your own experiences and others who you have contact with, even if you cannot precisely remember everything that would lead to that world view?
- vehementi 12y agoNo, those things aren't obvious FYI. And if your summary was "boy, new ideas from different stages" you kind of missed it.
