An Executioner Or A Saint

My Mixolydian friend hints that he is an INTJ in the Meyers-Briggs personality system, as am I.  When I first took the quiz, I mis-categorized myself as an INTP; later, I realized I was an INTJ.  Follow the links and you will see they both go to to keirsy.com, which indicates an Ayn Rand connection to each of those two types -- Howard Roark is an Architect (INTP) and Ayn herself is a Mastermind (INTJ).  I about fell out of my chair when I noticed that, since The Fountainhead is my favorite movie, if the number of times I have seen it (more than 10) is the only guide by which one judges such things.  Architecture, libertarianism, and arrogance -- how do you expect me to resist that combination?  The only things missing are sci-fi and choral music to make it the perfect, complete gesamtkunstwerk.

Did someone just mention sci-fi and choral music?  Watch this space, people!  Very soon I am going to unveil an analysis of an important confluence of those two arts, in a way that I am uniquely qualified to do.  It is my mission to bring you this analysis.  We're talking Meaning of Life here.  Stay tuned.  It will here any day now.  All glory be to the bomb!
