Not everything is Manichean, anyway; this is not Opinion Death Match, where two theses enter the cage and just one emerges alive. Yours need not be the übermeinung and mine the unterdialektik, we can coexist fine.

You're too funny. We should have a forum here called Thunderdome, where we do have opinion death matches
I shouldn't say I worship Hesse, to get that out of the way. I think some of his stuff, a lot of it, was just a silly, snobbish elitism, but what I like is that he realized it too, and part of the reason it comes off so strong is because that was a major part of "academia" at the time.
