But
there's a movie called Mindwalk that deeply moves me...
That sounds right on to me, can you tell me more? About the movie,
and also your thoughts on interconnected systems and patterns of
probability.
Mindwalk is my kind of movie. There are three very different
perspectives. Each perspective is positive, and each perspective is
negative. The complexity of the problems in the three different
systems (government, science & art) becomes understandable. The
idea that there could be an easy right or wrong answer becomes
incomprehensible. At the end of the movie is a wonderful
descriptive explanation of scientific relationships. This
explanation helps to visualize the overall connectedness of everything to
everything. (Does this make sense?) It's a great movie.
Interconnect systems seems very obvious after hearing the movie's
physicist explain it. Her explanation of trees was very good.
On some level I already knew this. This interconnectedness is
obvious, but it's not how we presently organize our thoughts. We
tend to prefer the use of the knife to disconnect and isolate the
pieces. Somewhere I've been exposed to an image of overlapping
bubbles representing different events, but I can't quite place it.
Although I've had statistics, with patterns of probability I don't
know enough of the sciences to know why there is only
probability. I do like the sound of it: patterns of
probability. It sounds poetic.
Maybe it is heirarchical authority
you don't like? Or the idea that a "higher" moral pattern
is "more moral" than a "lower"
one?
I don't like to be told what to do. I cherish my
freedom. But, Meine Gedanken sind frei. - I
would like to see the world in better shape. Seems obvious that for
the third world to rise, the first world will have to give up its
over-abundance and waste. This will require a new approach, a new
vision, leadership not based on material power. - You're
right. I don't like hierarchical authority. And maybe it is
the authority, and not hierarchy that iratates me.
Did you see the "junk
art" exhibit downstairs, by Sue Webster and Tim Noble? I
really liked that pile of junk that formed the shadow on the wall of the
two men sitting down. And the cheesy shining dollar sign was
impressive to me, too.
To me, the shadow "junk art" was of the highest value.
Wonderful!
