Thank them . . . but tell them no thank you, Joseph.

    It’s a gift.

It’s not.

What do you mean? It's for us to celebrate the babythey’ve come a long way bearing gifts.

We don’t have to accept all gifts.

                                       I believe the particularly one we’re talking about is a regift.

Did you see the expression, the subtle humour in their faces when you opened it for the babyHe doesn’t have teeth. Decline on account of that.

It’ll keep until he does if we keep it in a cool, dark plac . .

. . Where they’ve kept it.

                             Probably years.         Please.  A new mother should be considered.

She shouldI should . . be comforted . that would be comforting.

    Couldn’t we just keep it and regift it . .

Mary.

Joseph.

at his prompting he and buddyboy and now many others they have talked with  shared  are questioning if they would prefer to be an intellect or a genius

                                                    a fascinating thought experiment

which has happilycoincided with – finally – his reading of Hofstadters 1964 Anti-Intellectualism in America

“The case against intellect is founded upon a set of fictional and wholly abstract antagonisms. Intellect is pitted against feeling, on the ground that it is somehow inconsistent with warm emotion. It is pitted against character, because it is widely believed that intellect stands for mere cleverness, which transmutes easily into the sly or the diabolical. It is pitted against practicality, since theory is held to be opposed to practice, and the ‘purely’ theoretical mind is so much disesteemed. It is pitted against democracy, since intellect is felt to be a form of distinction that defies egalitarianism. . . . Who cares to risk sacrificing warmth of emotion, solidity of character, practical capacity, or democratic sentiment in order to pay deference to a type of man [or woman] who at best is deemed to be merely clever and at worst may even be dangerous?”

he does not like the silo of genius

                                     rarely has found an vigorous equilibrium of high IQ and high common sense but rather the higher the IQ  common sense flounders                                                                                                                

    he is not shy recommending his preference
