re:susan denker's criticism of my posting on madness in which she
denies my mad=creative sales pitch
 
i did not say or imply that madness is equal to creativity.  i referred
to the madness which victor claims to have, a mad desire for discovery
and innovation.  this simply means a drive that is, or should be, unfettered
by concerns which hinder the progress of technology.
this is not to say i don
't see definite connections between madness and creativity... art is
many times a culturally sanctioned form of thought or actions
which would normally be considered mad.
