Doc speaks of Gordita as soon to be high rises
and high intensity.......................
Intensity is an interesting word here....not
high-tech or high maintenance or whatever but
a word that often is a positive if applied to
many things...Intense passion; intense interest;
intense whatever.......here it is simply an unfavorable
attitude (as Doc sez early)................
So, intense is contrasted in attitude with the positive attitudes,
laid-back, hippie-like?, easy-going, etc. A slower throb?
Reflect on some major TRP characters in this light. Or,
is any preterite of "high-intensity"?.............
(I sorta see those with the Protestant Ethic and the Capitalist Spirit
per Weber as of 'high-inensity".I'm overdoing it too intensely here, yes?)
Is high-intensity what Vond and other not-nice guys have?
