@1 what do you mean?! i love picture books of planets. little johnny and i spend hours looking at the pretty rings of Saturn. maybe someday he will grow up to be a rhetorician. I'm going to name his branch of philosophy: New Age Bullshit.
On a semi-related note, NASA flew the repurposed Deep Impact probe past comet Hartley 2 earlier today, currently in our sky as it starts to fall away from its closest approach to the sun (and our planet) over the last two weeks...
Some pretty spectacular images were sent back from that comet's peanut-shaped nucleus this morning:
Interesting viewpoint... I have never heard Foucault interpreted like this.
However, I have long thought that in "Discipline and Punish", the prisoner is really a cat, and the observer is really Schrodinger. And that in "The Archaelogy of Knowledge", the whole thing about statements being events in time is really just a discourse about the central role of the universe's movement as it relates to time travel, in that, if you travel only in time, earth isn't going to be where you left it, so you better have a time-machine that can travel in space, also.
It's really kind of like everything is the same thing. What do you think?
@6 When they have an earthquake on Saturn, is it really called a saturnquake?
I think that would be a good starting point for a meaningful analysis of the semantic meanings of language prior-to and following their articulation, and how language, prose and abstract comparison replace the role of science and literal understanding in our quest to understand the universe and its shimmering vibrations.
