A truly great man is a man who does not begin the freezing-making process until he is totally ready, until he cannot grow unless he begins to make and give. A crank, a fanatic, a dogmatist was a potential genius who froze too early, who made too early. Wilhelm Reich{{LJ:Reich}} strikes me as being half-genius, half-crank. I know very little about his orgone theory, but I suspect that he was close to something truly tremendous, and perhaps terrified of going insane (which is the danger of growing when the road is too impacted with obstacles) he froze at the level of his orgone box, which haunts us for we feel alternately and even simultaneously that it is a lie and a truth (using truth as something on the way to Truth). | A truly great man is a man who does not begin the freezing-making process until he is totally ready, until he cannot grow unless he begins to make and give.
