Not to taint the broth...


In case my I.Q. is 220 instead of 135 for getting a GSOHI score of 22, I've decided to celebrate by offering a number of ideas which I think are worthy of Newton or Galileo, who each held I.Q. scores of 190, and high scores by others such as Cezanne and Zen Masters:

GALILEO IDEAS
1. I applied analytic as a razor.
2. If she knows French, it could be seven languages (she's Arabic).
3. The moon is made of cheese. Proper answer: thank you.
4. Interesting times. Exponential matters. (soul of the Renaissance).

NEWTONIAN / LEIBNIZIAN IDEAS
1. There is an aperture at the zeroith dimension.
2. Modular politics.
3. Creature feature.
4. Diamond dementia.
5. Old words.
6. Picaresque problems = Proverbs.
7. Order of the Sun = Hellish Obligations

CEZANNE IDEAS
1. Idea gardens
2. 'Tropical' pictures = Fauvism

ZEN MASTER IDEAS
1. Paper gardens
2. The second center.
3. Aesthetic Epicure = Asceticism

The Study of Big Assumptions

IT'S JUST AK KI

"Nature is philosophy"

"Art is dimension"

"Night is stealth"

I take these to be beautiful assessments of the middle ground between minimalism and hyperbolism. I posted these on Twitter @nathancoppedge as aphoristic quotations, using the tag #bigassumptions (the archetype).

Each of these makes a large claim, which may be ultimately questionable. But do these set a standard for what is right and wrong? At some point, via qualities, an assessment of hyperbole may be adequate for a certain amount of descriptiveness. Even when big assumptions are expressed, with the right stipulations, at the point that the claim may be argued to be too generic, it also expresses the nature of other, undeclared cases of 'big assumptions'; It is just at this point when the very nature of big assumptions is at its peak of accuracy.
