Magister magistri

Eugene Wigner, himself no dummyhead (or, to use the phrase that Pauli grudgingly conceded to Einstein, “not so stupid), a Nobel Prize physicist, said, concerning the mathematician/physicist/you-name-it John von Neumann,

“Whenever I talked with the sharpest intellect whom I have known -- with von Neumann -- I always had the impression  that only hé was fully awake, that I was halfway in a dream.”

(quoted in George Dyson, Darwin among the Machines (1997), p. 77.)

The Humble Woodchuck

A ways down the page  you may find a parable (“Constructivist Angelology”), featuring our furry friend, the Humble Woodchuck. He even appears as a Label.  (Click on this Label, and you will discover a world of joy.)

Simply wishing to ascertain whether that post had yet been indexed, I searched on the phrase in Google (which had been somewhat behindhand in Crawling this new site):  and found, to my surprise and delight,  oodles upon dozens of returns for this tasty phrase!   Only -- whether Your Servant’s site be among them, could not be discovered, so numerous were they in their numerosity.

So:  What can we do, to bubble that hit towards the top?

For myself, I offer this little keywordy essay.

            How humble is the woodchuck,  in his humility!   Humble, humble, humble, humble, as he stumbles and bumbles along!  --  Say, j’evver hear this one?  A Humble Woodchuck and a Humble Hedgehog walk into a bar;  but neither has the gumption to order anything.  Now, that’s humble!

And as for you -- you too can do your part!
