13101809, Who would you like to/have liked to meet in person?
Posted by willothewisp, Mon Dec-05-16 07:03 AM
Me? Psychologists/psychiatrists :
Freud (the unconscious)
Otto F. Kernberg (object relations theory)
Pierre Janet (dissociation)
Heinz Kohut (self psychology)
in that order.
Honorable mentions, lol, philosophers :
especially Spinoza and Levinas, but perhaps Nietzsche, Hegel, Schopenhauer etc too
How about you?

13101844, my grandmother...
Posted by Trinity444, Mon Dec-05-16 09:17 AM

family be saying I remind them of her
she died before I had a chance to remember her...
no one "famous" comes to mind...

13101847, RE: my grandmother...
Posted by willothewisp, Mon Dec-05-16 09:26 AM
what do you mean by this? have you known her? but were too little to really get to know her? :
>she died before I had a chance to remember her...
what would you like for her to do for you? or is that a "wrong" question?
what would you like to talk about with her?
|
13101857, she died when I was two...
Posted by Trinity444, Mon Dec-05-16 09:40 AM
i have only pictures to remember her. what Iwhat I have her show...teach me? I'm not sure. From what I hear grandmother's have a significant role in a child's life.
by way of example...
I'm a grandmother, and I'm still trying to figure out what i should be doing with the children. I think had I had mines, I'd have a better understanding.
|
13101858, I'm guessing she was going with the flow too ;)
Posted by willothewisp, Mon Dec-05-16 09:43 AM
you know, people think they will know all by age 30, then 40 (because now they are really mature), et cetera...

13101871, I imagine things being better back then.
Posted by Trinity444, Mon Dec-05-16 10:06 AM
my mother raised my son so I don't have a lot of hardcore experience lol
these children love me tho
like, how when I get home they run to me
one time while out all day with their parents
they ran in the house and up to my room talking about, "we hungry"
said, mom and day ain't feed them
we all marched downstairs so I could raise hell with mom and dad
come to find out, them kids lied. They declined what was offered
so dad told them they can eat when they get home
They be setting me up...
I got'em open tho.

But I would've LOVED to have met up with Rick James at a small dive bar. If his book was ANY indication of what being a musician in the 80's was like? Whoah boy...
I'd also like to meet:
James Brown
Spike Lee
President Obama
Hank Shocklee
and a few others. Mostly musicians, though.
|
13101850, what was it like being a musician then?
Posted by willothewisp, Mon Dec-05-16 09:31 AM
I'm guessing something free-spirited? or sky is the limits? drugs?
|
13101851, all of the above.
Posted by Shogun, Mon Dec-05-16 09:32 AM

If you haven't already done so, read "Confessions of a Super Freak" by Rick James.
|
13101859, ok! might do so!

13101877, Good list but I don't think Spike would be that interesting.
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Mon Dec-05-16 10:11 AM

I'd like to meet some painters, but then again, I don't think they would have anything to say, lol!

Then Bill Clinton and Obama. Only work if Bill is in his Prime and Obama feels free to talk shit.
Teddy Roosevelt, FDR and Abe Lincoln.
Whoopi Goldberg seems like she would be the most fun person to kick it with right now and hear stories.

very smart observant guy...

13101940, don't know a lot about him, except for the basics
Posted by willothewisp, Mon Dec-05-16 11:21 AM
but I have the feeling he is delusional. Can only control those who which to be controlled perhaps. In Freud's terms : the less neurotic is always in power, but a power trip is a definite sign of severe neurosis.

the writers room for the Richard Pryor Show when it was on the air for 2 seasons.
The show wasn't that funny but the roast they did was hilarious.
Mayne they must have had jokes.
