Has anybody seen The Golden Compass or read His Dark Materials? I have just seen the movie. I like it: it got me thinking. What would be my dæmon if it ever existed? Is is settled already like the dæmons of adults, Miss Coulter's or Lord Asriel's? Or is it still changing like that of Lyra Belacqua's, the kid? I'm not sure if mine is still trying to find its final form. But I guess I would love it if my current dæmon is some sort of a creature made of eighty percent of Friedman, Becker, and Stigler combined and twenty percent of Keynes. That is, 0.8(F+B+S)+0.2K. I'm not sure how it looks like (I sure hope it's not ugly like Coulter's golden monkey).How about yours?
Co, put a healthy 0.01 Nash there, too :-)
