TRTR on the hero and charisma thread

[Mark Kohut]

Paul M. writes
Don't recall the remarks but I suppose anti charisma would mean routinized.  As 
societies develop, the need for charismatic authority decreases.  Heroes are 
traditionally charismatic, but protagonists less so.

Brecht's line about unhappy the land that needs heroes might also apply to 
places that still require charisma.

But in a different way.
 
 
I think the case can be made that as Pynchon uses charisma.....taken it seems 
from a famous Weber essay----anti-charisma 

means simply something like not having/using the power of personality......power 
being key.........................
 
just being another regular guy/woman.............
