@RichDecibels @GronerJonas meanings... and they emerge in the combining.

@GronerJonas calling on @NoraBateson for this one

but wait if meaning is contextual, where does the context get it's meaning

@hgggrA just burning out on the us/them --

so long and thanks for all the fish.

@blakeandersonj not abut left or right... just cant with the noise anymore.

@NoraBateson Yeah, leaving the free speech platform. Makes sense. Best of luck. Not sure many people are on Blue Sky, except leftists.

@JamesDali2 ya

@NoraBateson Blue sky?

@djp1974 elsewhere-ing...

@NoraBateson ?

@michaelgarfield I am interested in how ChatGpt makes us into its cliché. The language that has become scripts - loaded with errors of abstraction, loaded w potential to polarize-- is now returned to us in flattened, unexperienced paste. The need for non verbal communication is now acute.

Language models reveal the ways in which we are already algorithmic active inference machines, and provoke us to reflect on our implicit biases. They're mirrors in which we discover our humanity as something that is neither merely subject nor object, alive nor dead, creative nor mechanical...and in so doing, force us to challenge all of these binary schema: michaelgarfield.medium.com/improvising-ou…

new piece There, in that place of being alive, we are digitally unreachable. I am not afraid of technology. I am more concerned that you and I will abdicate our humanity, and our creaturely dignity. norabateson.medium.com/still-moving-n…

Not sure it is possible to find the adjacent possible before losing faith in existing systems. This is heavy going and its the way of all transformative processes. Reorientation is the wobbly 1st steps after disorientation--It's hard to let go & unsafe- also its unsafe not to.

@surliertexan @ResObscura hi. I am happy to send some info to you... I will pm you.

One of the best episodes of the @SismiquePodcast with @NoraBateson. We talk about systems, complexity, life, and how to reframe the conversation about global issues. t.ly/21QtQ #systemthinking #complexity #ClimateCrisis

@Andy_nicole12 @ScienceMagazine @ResObscura @Dehallucinatory Dont bother...this is pretty weak tea. Plenty of covert stuff went down... but... MM and GB were not central

Tripping on Utopia: Margaret Mead, the Cold War, and the Troubled Birth of Psychedelic Science—a new book by @ResObscura—explores U.S. research from the mid-20th century on the possible uses of LSD. Read the #ScienceBooks Review: scim.ag/5Ct

@serge_golubev @ScienceMagazine @ResObscura and that is why this book is horribly misleading. The connections the author draws are his own... if you read carefully... they are all implied.

@ScienceMagazine @ResObscura Her involvement in psychedelic research raises questions about her motivations and how her anthropological background might have influenced her approach.

@surliertexan @ResObscura Breen frames things up as though things happened that did not. The documents about interrogation are not even OSS documents, they do not depict interrogation, or even interviews, but he would like them to.

@vonHildebrand thank you.

@NoraBateson if you need a place to rest you will always have our getaway in Bali, it worked for me, it worked for Margaret & Gregory back then too. Big part of why I have fought to keep this property is the inspiration they’ve all had on me tamanbebek.com/history

@russano David did better research.... Breen is all adjectives and associative hypothesis...

@NoraBateson He might have read this book... I certainly had a similar presupposition read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/70/…

This..is the stuff of schismogenesis...the irony is fantastic. Communication is Sacred. This is a book of thin associations, inane hypotheses...& adjectives. According to this absurdity, my dad is responsible for the CIA. Why? So many errors. so much drama... so little integrity.

@UNDAWORLDPARTY so true

@NoraBateson i know u know but people cant handle complexity and stress very well...

@ResObscura @GrandCentralPub what a disgrace... So horiible...to Gregory, to Terry Gross and to UCSC. I could not be more disappointed. Welcome to the bullshit of sell-you-story exaggeration and manipulation. This is absolute crap.

My NPR interview with Terry Gross about my new book "Tripping on Utopia" — a history of psychedelic science out today from @GrandCentralPub — is now up. You can listen here: npr.org/2024/01/16/122…

@JLydiaHenshaw hey... just underwater... dealing with too much. Sorry for the lack of response. Please dont take it personally.

@NoraBateson Hey Nora. What’s up with the group? Off-put by my obvious pride in how solid the foundations of the new science for systems in context I’m using are proving to be? Or.. frightened, speechless, confused, offended, threatened, or just bothered?
