[...] Brooks says here about these models. Back when I posted about chaos, and considered some of the impressions a particular book left on me, with respect to the relationship between truth and opinion, I resolved myself to the idea that [...]

you are dealing here with a guy who in all seriousness endorsed a zombie presidential candidate in the elections, so you shouldn't be too surprised. at my mental state anyway.

If Le Corbu is still able to corner you forty-four years beyond the grave, I may be too surprised to react as quickly as you’d like.
Better make it Jack Straw, eh?

Michael, maybe we should work out a signal. if Le Corbu corners me, and I touch the side of my nose, you come over and smash me in the face with a beer bottle. okay? i know you got my back.

MR. Bill, intellectual respectability isn’t really my bag. you may have notice that about me. i’ll add the Wolfe to my ‘to read’ list and maybe get to it in the next 16 years.

I don’t know if you’ve ever read From Bauhaus to Our House. Like most of Tom Wolfe, it’s not very intellectually respectable, but it sure is fun, and his take on theoretic architecture and it’s intersection with the real thing is, well, interesting. He wrote just as Michael Graves was the hottest thing…
And has a lot to say on Corbu: “..one of those relentlessly logical thinkers that only the French love, who flies higher and higher in dizzying circles of logic until he disappears up his own fundamental aperture and emerges into the fourth dimension as a splinter thin umber bird .”
In my own art struggles, I came to think of architects as the enemy of the artist or at least, his would be master.

Le Corbusier: nice buildings but you wouldn’t have wanted to get stuck next to him at a party, would you? Especially not on vodka and ephedrine. Chaos, for sure.
