A great documentary that causes people to spend more time disagreeing than actually understanding what is being said.

“The thirteen programmes in the series outline the history of Western art, architecture and philosophy since the Dark Ages. The series was produced by the BBC and aired in 1969 on BBC2. Then, and in later transmissions in Britain, the US and other countries it reached an unprecedented number of viewers for an art series. Clark’s book of the same title, based on the series, was published in 1969.”

Hippocrates on disease

It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.

Hippocrates of Kos, also known as Hippocrates II (460 BCE– 370 BCE), was a Greek physician of the Age of Pericles, who is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. Wikipedia

Sanity, Madness and the Family: Families of Schizophrenics

Sanity, Madness and the Family: Families of Schizophrenics

by R.D. Laing, Aaron Esterson

In 1958, while working at the Tavistock, John Bowlby introduced Laing to Gregory Bateson’s double bind theory of schizophrenia. Intrigued, Laing engaged another Glaswegian, Dr. Aaron Esterson, in an intensive phenomenological study of more than 100 families of diagnosed schizophrenics in the London area. In 1962, Laing travelled to meet Bateson and his co-workers in Palo Alto (and elsewhere across the U.S.A.) In 1964, Laing and Esterson published the results of their study in a brilliant and deeply disturbing book, Sanity, Madness & The Family, which John Bowlby described as the most important book about families in the 20th century.

Rumi: “I see my beauty in you”

I see my beauty in you. I become
a mirror that cannot close its eyes

to your longing. My eyes wet with
yours in the early light. My mind

every moment giving birth, always
conceiving, always in the ninth

month, always the come-point. How
do I stand this? We become these

words we say, a wailing sound moving
out into the air. These thousands of

worlds that rise from nowhere, how
does your face contain them? I’m

a fly in your honey, then closer, a
moth caught in flame’s allure, then

empty sky stretched out in homage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DARING ENOUGH TO FINISH

Face that lights my face, you spin
intelligence into these particles

I am. Your wind shivers my tree.
My mouth tastes sweet with your name

in it. You make my dance daring enough
to finish. No more timidity! Let

fruit fall and wind turn my roots up
in the air, done with patient waiting.


— Jalal al-Din Rumi (1207-1273)

Safi Bahcall: Loonshots


WGBHForum
Premiered May 17, 2019

Physicist and biotech entrepreneur Safi Bahcall reveals a surprising new way of thinking about the mysteries of group behavior that challenges everything we thought we knew about radical breakthroughs. Bahcall shows why groups will suddenly change from embracing wild new ideas to rigidly rejecting them. Mountains of print have been written about culture, yet Bahcall argues that small shifts in structure control these transitions, the same way that temperature controls the change from water to ice.
