Bohm was somebody who I got a lot from. His ideas on quantum mechanics I found
very deep. I always thought that he
was very much like a wave function himself.
That you would ask a question, a very specific question, and he would be
very focused and give you a deep, very
focused answer on to that question.
And then it would start to spread out and it would encompass a little more about
physics and it spread out, and then about
philology and about human nature and so on.
And I'm getting a bit lost about
what's going on and so I need another question.
And I ask him another question
and Whomph! The conversation would focus itself
very deeply on this particular point and
he will give a very succinct answer to that
and then again he would spread out like this.
