Journal mercedo's Journal: Daniil 3

Our friendship started at the journal discussion,'the Origin of Your Nickname', created by johndiii, where I got a friendship from Ethe, and daniil for the first time. While Ethe and I were talking about Nietzsche's thought, she suggested his thought was made use of by Nazis owing to its perplexities.

Again in johndiii's journal discussion, ' what's your favourite poem?' I raised 'Une Saison En Enfer, The Season In Hell' written by Rimbaud, she gave me a kind comment.

Assuming these, she must be a woman who loves literature, especially among Americans two names - Nietzsche & Rimbaud- have been not so common, as a matter of fact she is a European. Subsequently we had a couple of conversations in both of our journals.

Among European literary people, George Sand is a famous woman who didn't like her gender. She wore as men did, and had a long relationship with Chopin, assuming her fondness to be men didn't affect her preference in her sexuality, she was a heterosexual.

Her confession really amazed me, probably she doesn't come back under the same nickname. I hope she come back soon under the different name - which doesn't have to reflect her gender, it doesn't matter whether we are female or male not only in the internet, but also many other fields in the society as well.

        daniil also i suspected the writer - who i only heard of after she mentioned him somewhere.

        Karl Weierstrass is the name of a German mathematician of the 19th century. He is pretty much my favourite mathematician for a few reasons.
        He is seen as the father of 'analysis', a branch of maths i specialise in.

        Analysis is about the precise and formal treatment of concepts earlier mathematicians dealt with intuitively - infinity, the number line, the spac
