I had no idea about his background. Two points struck me particularly: his affinity for William James (Agassiz, James' mentor, was the last Harvard Creationist, by the way) and his espousing of the concept of the fallacy of individual being, which I never would have guessed from his own fiercely independent behavior. I just re-watched Adaptation last week with greater pleasure than ever--probably because Kaufman's everywhere talking about his new movie. If you haven't already, you should hear him on the recent Creative Screenwriting podcast and on the <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=96023004" rel="nofollow">Fresh Air archive</a> as well.

Here's something others might dig as an extension of Milch's comments about the snake: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouroboros This is a fantastically inspirational entry!
