>Style is the physiognomy of the mind, and a safer index to character than the face.
>A man's style shows the /formal/ nature of all his thoughts—the formal nature which can never change, be the subject or the character of his thoughts what it may: it is, as it were, the dough out of which all the contents of his mind are kneaded.
>When Eulenspiegel was asked how long it will take to walk to the next village, he gave the seemingly incongruous answer: /Walk/. He wanted to find out by the man's pace the distance he would cover in a given time. In the same way, when I have read a few pages of an author, I know fairly well how far he can bring me.
Is style the physiognomy of the mind?

And it came to pass that I passed gas and the sound of my ass was heard from Mount Gilead. And the wind of my lunch was whiffed throughout Judea, yeah for forty days and forty nights and it eradicated the firstborn sons of the Shekelstein tribe as I am the Lord's Punishment for their cringe.

All /lit/ posters are indistinguishable in their style so i guess they're all identically midwitted. No flavor to any of you.

/Lit/ isn't literature, so you shouldn't expect a style in transcribed common speech. Such a common speech style would only become obvious and read-into the transcribed prose if you were already familiar with it irl.

Yes. Mathematics is a visuo-spatial science, so the frontal lobe is not as important as compared to the soft sciences which are primarily linguistic, and therefore flawed.
