The Fool: The Power to Celebrate Weakness
“The most complex Face, the Fool celebrates weakness. Fools practice three related skills: excelling at inversion, seeing the sense in absurdity, and having unending perseverance. The Fool scientist Roy Plunkett was trying to come up with a new configuration of a chlorofluorocarbon. He accidentally set a can of the chemical on the laboratory radiator. When he found it in the morning, the chlorofluorocarbon had polymerized and created a hard resistant surface on the bottom of the can. Instead of throwing it away and calling it a failure, he analyzed the accident. This mishap was the birth of a new product called Teflon. For the Fool, invention happens through redeeming weakness.” (Wellman 11)
