RE: The Birth of Entrepreneurship out of the Spirit of Prometheus: Part 1 - Prometheus, the Original Entrepreneur
Interesting read. As you say it is a draft, hope you don't mind a comment. You could add Jung to the equation; he thought that society was, in a sense, right to protect itself from the outsider until such time that the outsider came back with something useful. However, Zarathustra coming down from the mountain was met by incomprehension, so some gifts truly are ahead of their time. The hero fights two battles.
I really appreciate thought responses rather than often when people upvote only based on the article title or author.
Yes, Jung is great. I'm also looking at a lot of Jordan Peterson lectures and figuring out how to fit it in.
Frankenstein is also relevant here. Frankenstein' subtitle is actually Prometheus unbound.
This is also part of a larger document that deals with a comparative study of value from the commonalities among Zen and tantric Buddhism, Nietzsche, Hume, etc. And also how mimetic theory extends to network effects and behavioral economics.
Thanks! (Although with 7 views and 56 votes they are rather useful! steemboost?)
Back on-topic, did you know that Frankenstein was based on real experiments performed at the time. The likes of Volta and Galvani were fascinated by bio-electricity and whether it was the animating force of life. Real revivification experiments were performed - the twitching frog's leg is all that remains in popular history - on human cadavers. This has become mainstream in the BBC series Shock and Awe.
I joined Steem early on, and some people from back then wrote programs that automatically vote for certain users.
Interesting. I'm aware of the experiments, but not of their impact on Shelley.
