This guy was the epitome of Ne. He got interested in making a hydrogen bomb not because he thought it would be more efficient from a Te perspective, but because Fermi casually mentioned the possibility and Teller, ignoring that Fermi said it wouldn't really work, became caught up with the new possibility and got bored by regular atomic bombs. He was always the one who had the overly optimistic ideas when everyone else thought it would be a nightmare logistically. From the Wikipedia article on him: "Teller was known for getting engrossed in projects which were theoretically interesting but practically unfeasible". "Ulam once wrote to a colleague about an idea he had shared with Teller: "Edward is full of enthusiasm about these possibilities: this is perhaps an indication they will not work." Fermi once said Teller was the only monomaniac he knew who had several manias."
