Freddy

“My name is Freddy or Willy or George. I invented history. Before me it was a bunch of things falling apart. There was no order. Catholicism and chaos.” The story of one of the great mind of Western Culture, Friedrich Hegel, the root of both Communism and Fascism in the 20th century.
“I was born in Stuttgart followed closely thereafter by millions of others. At the age of eleven I petitioned the local government to change the 't' at the end of Stuttgart to a 'd'. Too many 't's' offended my sense of balance. At six I was a brilliant chess player. But my game declined as I became preoccupied with the movement of the knight. Why didn't he move left, right, straight ahead or straight back, like all the other pieces? The knight moved as if he were dancing. I became obsessed by the waltz.”
