Don't tell the dogs about the size of the universe Facil - they'll demand longer walks. Sue describes Max's shorter walk round the block as his 'newsreading round'.
A lot I'd like to be alien from me that arises in my desires. The best philosophers of science will entertain on our condition is bridled rationality. I wonder on individuality - partly our obvious trip to paranoid narcissism and partly on how much we are capable of the subjective. UFO reports are usually chronic copies and much of the academy is monkish in its copying and repeatedly teaches these copies. Much passing as literature and art could obviously be produced by programs. 'Man wearing dress' does the marketing. Socially approved epistemic authority in strong form tends to kill innovation. My sense is it has moved from Inquisition-like institutions into a kitsch-like structure that may allow, say, your sculpture or my stand-up, because artists and comics are unreliable and just entertainment. Hard to get a grip on the kitsch-jelly. The plebs will never understand us and it's easy enough to get us feeding at the Establishment Zoo. One prankster threw himself off a fairly tall building with a cine-camera. This was the second in his line of pain art, called 'Movie On The Way Down'. In the first he shot himself in the arm. This is hardly Einstein pondering on why Maxwell's (not my dog's) equations didn't fit with the experimental evidence of Hopf and others and producing a kinematics that made sense of both. Yet Einstein was working in a social milieu and we would have had Relativity without him - indeed we would credit Lorentz, Poincare, Planck, Hopf, Hilbert and others (as the man himself). Our grand education systems graduate people who barely know the names, let alone the theory constructions. Einstein recommended jumping off cliffs to understand observation on the move. This, of course, was a thought experiment. I'm into the idea of embodiment - much we regard as personal, individual skill can be embodied in technology (and already is). What scares me is how little we know about this as a society and general inabilities in discussion. If only I could take to wearing frocks!
