Table discussion “It was a delight to feel the energy of all things Biology and
Art and my sense is that the short discussion that followed could have gone on
for quite some time.” Forgive my brevity here but I just wanted to say that both
your representation of that discussion, Renate, and the previous posts on this
month’s topic have reinforced my feeling that “current shifts that have
eliminated protections” are being addressed with art biological and biological
artistic solutions to those problems. One of the first things to hit me when I
started thinking about the topic was the relationship perceivable in the
earliest lyric poetry between life and art. Nietzsche nd others derived the art
of tragedy from it. Updating a bit I began to think about the (little) I’ve
read on biolinguistics and the proposed relationship biolinguists find between
knotting procedures used by birds in creating nests and what we could consider
knitting procedures used by humans in creating tools. Today’s *Guardian* (the
British paper) carries an article by Joseph Stiglitz that expresses hope that
the deep sociological stages of globalism will be met and worked through by
people in a variety of disciplines. No easy task....... An economy of mind perhaps. Thanks for your
ideas! Best wishes, William<br></span></div>
