If you have to sleep with somebody in one room, and he is like this man, and you cannot stop him, and he repeats his sh*t all day long, one day you get aggressive yourself - although you would have never thought you would behave like this. It is the classical setting Jack London described between IDEALIST Humphrey van Weyden and MATERIALIST Wolf Larsen on board of the Ghost, a ship. Weyden was a pacifist, idealist and very knoweldged. Civilized. Rich family. Wolf Larsen no education, just survival of the fittest. Believes in Darwinism. If you have read the book you maybe have followed that the IDEALIST develops into a KILLER=materialist meanwhile the Materialist has the luxury because he has power, to behave like an IDEALIST ! Wolf Larsen CAN offer idelistic point of views because he knows, he can in any situation KILL Van Weyden. Van Weyden cannot longer live his own ideals, cannot live his pacifism because Wolf Larsen could kill him any second if he does not take care. So : I felt that this RT had the same INFLUENCE on me like Wolf Larsen had on Humphrey van Weyden. If you don't see my point, you can reread the Seawolf by Jack London.
