It’s in the name - a good example
In my post the other day regarding what Albert Einstein would think of AI, I mentioned that I look to a person's name for a hint why l'm writing about them or for some indication of who they are. Of course this doesn't work for every name, but I've found in a surprising number of cases, it does. I have no clue why. I seem to have a knack for figuring it out. As an example,
Headline in the N.Y. Times:
'Kennedy Center's President Leaving After Tumultuous Year'
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03/13/us/trump-news
President Trump's bud Richard Grenell, who Trump installed as the President of the Kennedy Center last year, is leaving. I'm interested if his name has relevance to this situation. This is what I came up with:
RICHARD GRENFELL = CRINGE, R FELL HARD
RICHARD GRENFELL = DANGRR! REICH FELL
RICHARD GRENFELL = R REDI? CHALLNGE F'R!
Whoa! This is more than I bargained for. Then I reread the story I initially skimmed over. Richard Grenfell doesn't sound like the most freewheeling live-and-let live kind of guy. Looking at his picture (link below) confirmed my thinking. Normally, a person's physical appearance is irrelevant to what I think about them, it looks relevant here. I noticed Mr Grenfell was previously an ambassador to Germany. If Quentin Tarantino is thinking about doing a sequel to 'Inglourious Basterds', he might want to give Richard Grenfell a call. I'm sure there'd be a part for him somewhere.

Thanks, but what I need is a knick. What good is a knack without a knick? By the way, you knew I couldn't resist. I took your name and came up with the perfect occupation for you. You can do it on here. I can't discuss salary, sorry. This is the position, can you handle it?
