  1. So are to understand all these people were inspired by Hermes energy in their particular fields. Is that right?

  2. All of these people are examples of positive quiddity (individuals somewhat like Fletcher and certainly unlike Jaffe as demonstrated in The Great and Secret Show). Usually the list involves Hermes energy. A possible exception who makes the list anyway is Churchill (whose Hermes-like skill was out-psyching dark forces, partly because of his own melancholy and humility about his own virtues). In any event, the world is a better place because of the actual work done in the real world by the people on this list.
