There are some paradoxes in bonsai, like torturing trees into looking like beautiful, naturally shaped forms.
I don't know if any of this is true, but chatgpt spit this out for me. It's pretty cool...
The Japanese word for paradox is "矛盾" (mujūn). This term combines the characters "矛" (mu), meaning spear, and "盾" (jun), meaning shield. The origin of this word comes from a famous Chinese story about a merchant who claimed his spear could pierce any shield and his shield could block any spear, illustrating the concept of contradiction or paradox.

I don't know her well enough, but I do know she's super helpful to everyone she encounters. How about the "Affable Angler" or "Benevolent Biologist".

Nuttier than your average Nut
I keep thinking about the user name - and paradoxes....
Less is more
So hot it's cool
The more you spend, the more you save
And trying to apply it to bonsai...
The more you remove, the more there is to see
You have to add flaws until you reach perfection
Of course, none of these are "titles" but I am trying to use this line of thought to come up with one!

Perhaps a little detailed info about me would help?
Some of this was alluded to by @Dav4 and @Brian Van Fleet
Grew up in Maine, moved to Long Island to go to college and stayed here, cause I love the area.
Marine fisheries biologist by occupation, but always had keeping fish and going out fishing first in fresh then in salt water as hobbies.
I've been described as having salt in my veins because there is hardly a day I don't touch salt water or think about or am involved with salt water critters and I just love the Ocean.
Greatest loves in world for hobbies are (in No particular order): The Ocean, fishing, keeping fish, bonsai and my dogs.
Although I'm a transplant here, I am a NYer: opinionated, sometimes too quick to react, self described as cantankerous and a salty personality as many here know
.
I have always seen myself as a Paradox, hence the name. I've never shared the same interests that most women do or even among my peers.
Never really quite fit in anywhere when I was younger. Now I just don't care. I like what I like and to hell with anyone who has a problem with that...
But I do have a real desire to help people, sometimes too much. One of my co-workers is fond of saying "yes Mom" when I start mildly scolding or acting like a mom.
Favorite Bonsai tree: Scotts pine is number one and pines in general, Second favorite probably azaleas.
Been trying to find a way to combine, ocean, or salty, and bonsai, but haven't figured it out yet
Salty Bonsai, Bonsai by the sea, IDK Not really a name.
