what should we mean by a "cool thinker" and a "hot thinker"?

  • the "cool" thinkers = the outlines or the outliners
    • many ways to understand them
    • could work with more than one kind of setting
    • no "ties" to any other some-such group
    • no "proud mindset" to "being the first to do it"
    • can bargain and see things in new lights
  • the "hot" thinkers = the overly-proud ones
    • only one meaning in their words
    • no wiggle room whatsoever with them
    • strong ties with some-such group
    • must buy their "intellectual property"
    • no buckling with these folk: "A is A"

(these "groups" of thought could run along a shaded line)
