RE: The construction loving Master Mind
Thank you for your thoughtful reply. This post, and my searches, made me think about a painting I did over 30 years ago. Well, I am not going to hitch a ride on your post with this as a link, but if you are interested, I just posted the painting a short while ago.
While I am native Austrian, grew up in Vienna, I lived in Canada for over 40 years (and in the long, cold winter nights one becomes introspective ) - I studied German sort of backwards at the University of Lethbridge, taking courses in German Literature and colloquial studies in Psychology: in that class, more than half the students were also professors from other faculties - and they discovered things outside their own field of expertise - i.e. we lectured each other, since most of it was more like a discussion group.
I don't mind you leaving the link to the post: go ahead, so it will be easier for me to find it.
HeHe, studying German backwards sounds really interesting. Wow, you lived for such a long time in Canada. I think that had a great impact on you. To get to know many cultures & climates stretches the mind and heart, I would say. Well, at least when things run smooth in way.
So you are also interested in psychology:) welcome to the club!
I like what you are pointing at: the different faculties and the openness of the members of your group is of high value. Nothing is more boring than always agreeing on something. We need people from other disciplines once in a while to shake us up.
