MBTI & Writers Isabel Allende: ENFP

“Isabel Angélica Allende Llona (born in Lima, Peru, 2 August 1942) is a Chilean writer.

Allende, whose works sometimes contain aspects of the genre magical realism, is known for novels such as The House of the Spirits (La casa de los espíritus, 1982) and City of the Beasts (La ciudad de las bestias, 2002), which have been commercially successful.

Allende has been called "the world's most widely read Spanish-language author."

In 2004, Allende was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and in 2010, she received Chile's National Literature Prize. President Barack Obama awarded her the 2014 Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Allende's novels are often based upon her personal experience and historical events and pay homage to the lives of women, while weaving together elements of myth and realism.”

Dear Gus & Baby #2,

I'm in Fort Worth today for an all-day meet with our Water Team to develop ways to communicate their messages over the next year. It's always good to collaborate with folks we don't normally collaborate with. I read a book called Range by David Epstein recently and all day today I kept coming back to the idea in that book that to solve some problems, it can be extremely beneficial to bring in people who are from completely different backgrounds. It felt like some of that was happening today.

Dad.

Remember Pizza Gate? Remember how ludicrous a lot of the claims that were discussed were?

Remember the CIA invented conspiracy theorist as a way to discredit people talking about legitimate issues like MK-ULTRA?

Notice that, in the wake of Epstein, more and more cultural and political elites are being implicated in sex crimes against women and children?

I wonder... I wonder if "Pizzagate" didn't start off as someone trying to blow that open years before.

I wonder if the very first attempts to bring it to national attention were more grounded. More in line with what's happening.
