archetypal dyads

[Corpsey]

inherited wealth vs. bootstraps
rule breaker vs rule enforcer
egotism vs self sacrifice
free market capitalism vs. conservative capitalism
libertine condomless sodomy vs. family values
iron robot suit vs super serum/vibramium shield

corpsey is a natural at this game

They clash in Avengers Assemble and then they start (sadly only figuratively) rubbing off on each other, so Tony Stark becomes less self-centred and more Steve Rogers-ish, and Steve Rogers stops trusting the government and becomes a Stark-ish rebel.

What a beautiful story 🥲

Many great books are the result of writer editor dyads. The generator and the censor. The watcher at the gates of the mind.

its the Bert and Ernie set-up, in american terms

Bert and Ernie were based on Morecambe and Wise. They didn't even bother changing one of their names FFS.

youve always got that dynmaic in sports of how do we beat a team that is superior to us? get in their faces, pressure them, harry them, bully them, unsettle them

A dyad of dyads

One of them doesn't play because he sings and the other one plays because he can't sing.

I'm reading Positively 4th Street, a history of the Greenwich Village Folk scene, and it's interesting

The men—Dylan, Dick Fariña—are all storytellers, fabricators. They make up this absurd backstory for themselves anew for every interviewer. Neither of them can play their instruments. Neither of them can sing. They talk a lot about their big plans and schemes for revolutionizing art.

The women—Carolyn Hester, Joan Baez—are skilled instrumentalists and singers doing traditional songs, they are beautiful mysteries who are projected upon by audiences.

So Carolyn/Dick and Joan/Dylan end up each enacting a very similar dyad

The writer and the dancer. The one who moves her body and the one who watches and transcribes a body's trace.

Lennon is map—relation between work & world—social conscience
McCartney is chord—relations within the work—technical accomplishment
