I heard someone on the radio a few evenings ago say that, 'Good ideas have sex.'
Now I have drawn this metaphorical comparison before myself in a number of different essays.
But I don't think quite so starkly...
So I had/have to run with this idea a bit more...
We have all heard such comments as...
'That sounds like a very fertile idea, Mr. Jones....
Let's see where we can go with that...'
The idea of 'good ideas having sex'...
Sounds very Freudian...
I can just hear Freud saying....
'Well, if good ideas are having sex....
Then that is because, underneath all our...
Copulating ideas,
We all want to literally have sex...
Good sex, great sex....
And this is just one more example...
Of how man 'sublimates' his sex drive....
Much like artists and architects....
Playing with phallic symbols and vessels...
And much like the symbols....
That occur in our myths and dreams as well...
The Greek God, Zeus, and his 'Godly-Ram' status....
The Alpha-Male....Don Juan...Casanova....
Perhaps The Greatest Alpha-Male Idea....
In the history of Western Philosophy....
Was the idea most clearly articulated by Hegel....
Of ....The Dialectic...and Dialectic Interplay....
Thesis, anti-thesis, synthesis...
Conceptual copulation!
