Most negative traits are just the positive traits of people you don't like. Stockhausen is a genius because he channelled his arrogance into being awesome at what he does. So the fact that he's batshit insane doesn't matter. The fact that Sophia is batshit insane DOES matter, because he's made fuck all of himself and is only good at being a wang.

Sophia is a boy? I pictured him as a senile old lady who had run away from a nursing home

You weren't that far off then.

Ya, up to a point. I mean, I'm talking about arrogance for example ... uh ... being self-absorbed, uh ... neurotic ... restless ... melancholy ... that kinda thing. Then others, say, rudeness, is more borderline ... but many people that done great work are rude cuz they don't have the patience for regular hum-drum people, and they can't be expected to have ...

Nastiness or sadistic behavior, that kinda thing, ok, pettiness too, I put those on a lower level, and there's nothing good to be said for those qualities, they are never good qualities. Although there's plenty great artists that were nasty and/or sadistic. Which was my point originally: great artists have nowhere near perfect personalities as somebody was suggesting they must have .... I don't think it's that relevant ...

Stockhausen! .. actually I heard some of his stuff and I like it ... I think it was his old stuff cuz he been at it a long time. There was water sounds and choir voices ... very haunting...

He makes window screens and ... well ... drives around in an unmarked van and ... well I dunno if people order these screens, or he makes them for people he never met, and then demands that they pay ... or else ...
