<br>
<br>
<br>We're having a rest for the forthcoming holidays and will be back on the
<br>3rd April 2024.
<br>
<br>
<br>The topic then will be the same: Kitsch and other strange art
<br>
<br>
<br>The topic was suggested by Norma, and in my essay I try to show why this
<br>topic is important in philosophy.

<br>- Book by Asuncion
<br>
<br>Title: Timeless Joyce
<br>
<br>Author: Asuncion Lopez Varela Azcarate
<br>
<br>Description: 2022 marked the 100th anniversary of the publication of
<br>James Joyce's Ulysses.
<br>
<br>
<br>This book is a celebration of Joyce's text and of the aspects that make
<br>his masterpiece timeless.
<br>
<br>
<br>Structured under the inspiration of Brancusi's spiral image, 'Symbol of
<br>James Joyce', the volume shows Joyce's play in two movements: a
<br>centripetal move towards unity, using myth, analogies and
<br>correspondences and a centrifugal force, with a cunning mixture of irony
<br>and unanticipated turns, where the dream of unity is shattered and the
<br>text resonates in multiple directions, manifesting its diversity through
<br>forms of duplicity and double coding. ……….more details from the AMAZON

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Topic by Norma</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Essay by Lawrence</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please search the internet for the meaning and examples of
kitsch art, modern art and strange art.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are many words and adjectives to describe kitsch
(kitch) art. Such words would include eccentric, naïve and, early in the
twentieth century, cheap as in mass produced cheap. In a way, kitsch art is not
really a school or movement of art, but rather a disparaging term to describe
some forms of art expression that would not be considered as real art in the
best art salons, academies or auction houses. Off course, in the twenty first century
the mentality has changed from cheap-and-cheerful art form to if-it-makes-money
it must be art.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The term kitsch is of German origin dating back to the 1860s
and 1870s and for a long period of time it was regarded as a German form of
commercial “art” form. Kitsch art as we know it, paintings were/are just
another feature in this genre of expression, which also included ceramics, sculptures
and house hold items such as teapots (see Wikipedia). We might add to the list
such things as souvenirs and Christmas decorations. The fundamental basis of kitsch
is that it is beautiful and accessible for people to buy by virtue that it is
mass produced. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The key idea of beautiful art we have today is that it makes
us feel good; today art is primarily about emotions and feeling good about a
work of art. But if art is associated with feeling good, then surely we reduce
art to a subjective experience and this is where we find our first philosophical
issue. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If art is subjective, then surely this will take away the
authority and status of those who proclaim to be the guardians of what is good
and what is objective. Those in power, be it political or economic power, are
usually not too keen in giving up this power and status they have over others. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dictatorships, including religious ideologies, are very keen
to control what is acceptable regarding what is good, what is objective, what
is art and, by implication, what is language. For our purposes, we might call
this as the “official” form of art: if the regime approves of a work of “art”
then it is good and objective art. Kitsch art took away the authority of what
is art and what is beautiful from an “official” status of art to a subjective
definition of art. People were allowed to feel good about what they saw without
being told what they were seeing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, as in most things ideological or belief, maybe
kitsch art was just a matter of time before it became established in society.
Maybe a precursor to kitsch art, is Caspar David Friedrich who painted rather
romantic art and sometimes sombre paintings taking full advantage of emotional
and full-of-feeling art. Even today, some people would still regard Friedrich’s
paintings as glorified chocolate box images.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If kitsch art was art for the subjective feelings of people,
surely modern art (strange art in our topic) is the equivalent of subjective
feelings and mass production of artists. For the first time in history someone can
put brush to canvas add a bit of colour and call it art and they are the
artist.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Except that modern art was a “revolt” to break away from the
“official” dogma of art. I am using modern art to cover a number of genres of
schools and movements in 19<sup>th</sup> and twentieth century art, see below. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the same time that kitsch art was being developed in
Germany, in France of the 1860s the impressionists started their revolution in paintings.
The impressionists were criticised for painting in the open air and not in the
studio, and employed free hand brush strokes away from lines and clear shapes.
But the impressionists were definitely the first “photographers” (maybe the <i><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">camera</span></i><i><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
</span></i><i><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">obscura</span></i>
was an expression of the future yet to come) because they literally studied
light and colours and shadows. Once again the impressionist tried to move away
from dogma towards subjectivity of the artist but relying at the same time by the
new theory of light. (see for example Michel Eugène Chevreul <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Eug%C3%A8ne_Chevreul">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Eug%C3%A8ne_Chevreul</a>)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hence, whilst the Germans exploited their prowess in
manufacturing kitsch art, the French impressionists employed the scientific
theory of light to develop what is, basically, emotional and beautiful art for
subjective pleasure. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kitsch art maybe criticised for being “mass produced” art
for the masses, and the impressionist maybe criticised for producing works of
art depicting real life with haphazard brush strokes and mixtures of colour. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, impressionist art does not work
in a museum; we just do not have the real light the artists saw for us to
experience what the artist experienced: and no museum will show their
impressionist art on the beaches of north France or the wet street of Paris. Indeed,
we can marvel at the Spanish master, <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Joaquín
Sorolla Bastida, but unless you can see his summer seaside scenes of Valencia
in Valencia, you are missing a good ninety percent of the aesthetic magic of
these paintings.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">This break from the “official”
doctrine of art coupled with a scientific approach to art (perspective painting
not withstanding) has given rise to other movements that might be regarded as
modern art or strange art. Cubism, of the likes by Picasso, in a way turned straight
lines on their head; a charge the Paris establishment claimed the impressionists
lacked in their paintings. And kitsch art morphed into art deco of the 1920
which was anything but art for the masses. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What is clear is that kitsch art and modern art broke the
dogma of authority; it became acceptable to deviate from the official dogma of
art. Is art in the Tate Modern or even the Reina Sofía official art, or revolutionary
art? And has kitsch and modern art evolved into establishment art? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Art and beauty might, at the end, be subjective and emotional,
but we still cannot give up the idea “official art” in museums like the Prado
and the National Gallery, and “modern art” from the Reina Sofía and Tate
Modern. What is clear is that there is no such thing as art for art’s sake but
rather art for human expression sake.</p>

<br>
<br>
<br>This Wednesday we are continuing with the topic: "Witch-hunts in society
<br>/ Witch hunting in our society" that was proposed by Norma.
<br>
<br>Last week we had a very lively interesting discussion on the topic. One
<br>aspect we did not consider in depth was the modern language used for
<br>modern witch-hunting. Such language would include: Cancel culture, woke,
<br>terrorism, murders for seeking birth control, gas lighting, <a href="http://qu.e.er">qu.e.er</a>,
<br>bible punching, and so on. There is a link on Wikipedia for all sorts of
<br>pejorative terms used to victimise people in society:

<br>- Book by Asuncion
<br>
<br>Title: Timeless Joyce
<br>
<br>Author: Asuncion Lopez Varela Azcarate
<br>
<br>Description: 2022 marked the 100th anniversary of the publication of
<br>James Joyce's Ulysses.
<br>
<br>
<br>This book is a celebration of Joyce's text and of the aspects that make
<br>his masterpiece timeless.
<br>
<br>
<br>Structured under the inspiration of Brancusi's spiral image, 'Symbol of
<br>James Joyce', the volume shows Joyce's play in two movements: a
<br>centripetal move towards unity, using myth, analogies and
<br>correspondences and a centrifugal force, with a cunning mixture of irony
<br>and unanticipated turns, where the dream of unity is shattered and the
<br>text resonates in multiple directions, manifesting its diversity through
<br>forms of duplicity and double coding. ……….more details from the AMAZON

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Topic by Norma</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Notes by Lawrence</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The idea of witch hunting takes us back to the Middle and
Dark ages and in many cases to The Inquisition. Whilst all this makes good
history, for our purposes we need to look at the social and anthropology of
today’s idea of witch hunting. Besides, the Inquisition, for example, was involved
in hunting people who were accused of practicing witchcraft and invoking spells
and curses on their victims. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today, those who identify themselves as witches are allowed
to go about their beliefs and activities as any other group of people in modern
society. It is true that there are some places in the world where people still
believe in witches with supernatural powers invoking spells and curses but
these have more to do with unenlightenment rather than
supernatural powers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With reference to “our society” we can safely argue that today
by witch hunting we mean persecution and victimization usually in the context
of racism, minorities and political ideologies. Sometime, in modern times, we still
see persecution for religious beliefs and maybe even culture practices. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the most famous witch hunts in the twentieth century
was <span class="hgkelc">McCarthyism (check search engines), when Senator Joseph
McCarthy was charged to find Soviet spies and communists in the United States. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc">But one of the most obnoxious witch
hunting in the twentieth century was the anti Semitism by the National Socialists
who, by the way, also persecuted other minority groups, such as gypsies. In the
late 19<sup>th</sup> century and early 20<sup>th</sup> century in Europe, there
were the pogroms in Eastern Europe of the Jews. Of course, these persecutions
are not limited to Europe all cultures and states have their victims.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc">Today, in the twenty first century, we
have the witch hunting of refugees, LGBT people, minority races, and in some countries,
religious beliefs can still give rise to victimization. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc">So, what are some of the necessary and sufficient
condition for victimization to qualify as witch hunting? If we take McCarthyism
and the Nazi witch hunting as our model, we can identify certain specific
conditions.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc">Ideology, usually in the form of irrational
or biased beliefs, is certainly a sufficient condition of witch hunting. The Inquisition,
McCarthyism and the Nazi all took their ideology beyond the bounds of reason
and morality. The question here is whether a challenge to ideology or the
integrity of a state is a reason to pursue irrational or immoral persecution of
certain members of society. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc">Any disagreement or questioning of this
ideology is considered as an act by an enemy of the authority and hence, the
state. These people assume for themselves absolute power to pursue their
victims; many times such powers are not compatible with natural justice or the principles
of jurisprudence. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc">Another necessary condition involves the practitioners
of witch hunting prescribing the methods to get their victims and prescribe the
relevant guilt. Punishment is also a necessary condition of witch hunting. Usually
punishment goes beyond what we might today regard as a civilized practice and certainly
in breach of all human rights. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="hgkelc"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, an important condition for witch hunting is the
manipulation of emotions by those involved in witch hunting of the general
population. A key condition of witch hunting is that the general population
does not go against the ideology and practice. And as we all know fear can be a
very strong emotion to manipulate the general population.</p>

<br>- Book by Asuncion
<br>
<br>Title: Timeless Joyce
<br>
<br>Author: Asuncion Lopez Varela Azcarate
<br>
<br>Description: 2022 marked the 100th anniversary of the publication of
<br>James Joyce's Ulysses.
<br>
<br>
<br>This book is a celebration of Joyce's text and of the aspects that make
<br>his masterpiece timeless.
<br>
<br>
<br>Structured under the inspiration of Brancusi's spiral image, 'Symbol of
<br>James Joyce', the volume shows Joyce's play in two movements: a
<br>centripetal move towards unity, using myth, analogies and
<br>correspondences and a centrifugal force, with a cunning mixture of irony
<br>and unanticipated turns, where the dream of unity is shattered and the
<br>text resonates in multiple directions, manifesting its diversity through
<br>forms of duplicity and double coding. ……….more details from the AMAZON

<br>Title: Timeless Joyce
<br>
<br>Author: Asuncion Lopez Varela Azcarate
<br>
<br>Description: 2022 marked the 100th anniversary of the publication of
<br>James Joyce's Ulysses.
<br>
<br>
<br>This book is a celebration of Joyce's text and of the aspects that make
<br>his masterpiece timeless.
<br>
<br>
<br>Structured under the inspiration of Brancusi's spiral image, 'Symbol of
<br>James Joyce', the volume shows Joyce's play in two movements: a
<br>centripetal move towards unity, using myth, analogies and
<br>correspondences and a centrifugal force, with a cunning mixture of irony
<br>and unanticipated turns, where the dream of unity is shattered and the
<br>text resonates in multiple directions, manifesting its diversity through
<br>forms of duplicity and double coding. ……….more details from the AMAZON

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">During our meeting last week discussing Staying
Young, Cristina brought to our attention a research study on DNA to rejuvenate
the body and thus prolong life and rejuvenating youth. Then she asked us whether
any of us would take such a medical treatment? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">The research is above board, there are no side
effects or adverse effects to the body and we even get to keep our memories. In
our enthusiasm for the topic, I forgot to ask her for a reference. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>

diseases (Google). The topic is so new that my first search of “gerotherapeutic”
only resulted in 3,400 results vs 121 in Google Scholar. Even the AI algorithm was
not too familiar with the term because it kept suggesting neurotherapeutic on
both dedicated search versions. Although amongst this empty space on the
internet the search did discover the Geroscience Hypothesis.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">So, would you take a therapy to rejuvenate the body,
live longer with prolonged disease free periods? Of course, in science there
are no such things as 100% guarantees that a technology might not have side
effects. Or function 100% as advertised. But as the saying goes, 80% solution
is better than no solution at all. Would your answer be different with just 80%
guarantee?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Despite the subject and the treatment being biological
and medical science, the meddling hand of language is not too far away from any
philosophical issues. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">A basic issue for us is that language makes senses,
or has a meaning, in a precise context. This goes back to Wittgenstein’s
private language problem, which Alice in Alice in Wonder Land eloquently defines
as "If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.” (The quote
is longer and there are too many references to Lewis Caroll’s book) </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">The problem for us is that what scientists mean by
a technical term is not necessarily, what people in general think it means; or
at least a substantial percentage of the people. Is this the same as saying
that language used in one context is as if being in some sort of private
language bubble?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">We saw this phenomenon during the Covid pandemic
when a dangerous percentage of the population had no idea how vaccines work
(many still don’t). Apart from neglected to take into account the group
immunity effect vaccines have for infectious diseases. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">And to compound the issue many people associated
taking or not taking a vaccine to expressions of freedom and free speech. In
the meantime, it seems as if viruses believe in the freedom of being opportunists;
and they’re very good at it. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Two common terms in the Geroscience Hypothesis are “to
retard” and “to delay”; for example check the book Advances in Geroscience under
the chapter: Austad, S.N. (2016). The Geroscience Hypothesis: Is It Possible to
Change the Rate of Aging?. In: Sierra, F., Kohanski, R. (eds) Advances in
Geroscience. Springer, Cham. <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-23246-1_1">https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-23246-1_1</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Of course, neither retard nor delay mean stop in
any context. I also don’t believe that there is some hidden slippery slope in
the theory or biology. Firstly, even if the treatment is repeated over long
periods of time retard and delay do not imply invincibility. There is always the
possibility of being run over by a bus as was mentioned during the meeting on
Staying Young. And delay does not mean not having diseases.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Secondly, scientists working on the Geroscience
Hypothesis are the first people to point out that there is nothing new about
this phenomenon in biological science. Diet and lifestyle are key contributors
to how long we live and diseases we acquire or develop. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">By today’s standards, we believe that we have a
right to be old. Some governments of questionable provenance, however,
demonstrated an undeclared policy of leaving elderly to their fate during the
pandemic. They preferred commercial gain for some sectors in the economy for spending
on health care for the elderly. Dignity was not a common term used in some quarters
of applied politics. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Moving on, dogma is one of those false philosophical
arguments based on authority or an influential figure; this does not
necessarily apply to one’s parents or the boss but that is a different matter. The
problem with this argument (Argument from Authority) is not that the authority
cannot be right sometimes but rather the authority is assumed to be always
right with the rigours of an imposed law. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Scientific certainty is based on the 95% Golden
Rule of scientific certainty. Contrary to dogma, the Golden Rule has an element
of built in scientific scepticism. Once again, rigour and robustness in
scientific argument do not mean “always right”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In any event, I propose that “always” is a term we use from our
experience or memory of an event being a fact.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">During our discussion on Staying Young Julia pointed
out the implications on old age pensions in staying young and James highlighted
the implications of being young over a long time. Staying young and living
longer imply an economic consequences which include having a reasonable income
over one’s long life. Does this mean we have to change our economic model of
boom-bust economies? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Given that, some might still pass away sooner than their
life expectancy, does this mean people who live longer stand a chance being
really alone and lonely if all their friends and immediate family pass away
sooner then they will.</span></p>

<br>
<br>This Wednesday we are discussing: Staying Young
<br>
<br>My idea in proposing the topic was to identify some basic and
<br>fundamental philosophical issues that can pave the way to really staying
<br>young.

<br>- Book by Asuncion
<br>
<br>Title: Timeless Joyce
<br>
<br>Author: Asuncion Lopez Varela Azcarate
<br>
<br>Description: 2022 marked the 100th anniversary of the publication of
<br>James Joyce's Ulysses.
<br>
<br>
<br>This book is a celebration of Joyce's text and of the aspects that make
<br>his masterpiece timeless.
<br>
<br>
<br>Structured under the inspiration of Brancusi's spiral image, 'Symbol of
<br>James Joyce', the volume shows Joyce's play in two movements: a
<br>centripetal move towards unity, using myth, analogies and
<br>correspondences and a centrifugal force, with a cunning mixture of irony
<br>and unanticipated turns, where the dream of unity is shattered and the
<br>text resonates in multiple directions, manifesting its diversity through
<br>forms of duplicity and double coding. ……….more details from the AMAZON

</p><p class="MsoNormal">Staying Young</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Topic and Notes by Lawrence</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The idea behind this topic is linked to life expectancy and quality
of life. We can also go a step further and by young we also mean open minded,
curious and motivated. There is not dispute that the condition of our body does
determine our physical being, but what about our mind?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The challenge, however, and assuming we still have a reasonable
physical constitution, is to keep an alert mind and moved by curiosity. Basically,
staying young also means we still have the motivation to learn and discover new
experiences. So what are the philosophical issues regarding staying young?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a working theory, I want to argue that there three issues
involved: political philosophy, ethics and epistemology.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Political philosophy is the domain that ought to help us
with wealth distribution and physical well being. While political philosophy covers
a number of subjects, wealth distribution gives people a chance to experience self
fulfilment and economic mobility. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At a more complex level, political power also has the duty
to provide education despite this idea being too wide and open to
interpretation to fully cover in these nots. The key function of education is
to help us develop skills in thinking and assimilating information and
knowledge.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As I have argued already, the most important factor that
will help us stay young is our health. And by health I do not only mean access
to healthcare when needed, but also access to healthy nourishment such as
wholesome staples (processed staples are not necessarily healthy). </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately, only a handful of countries and political
systems have robust and efficacious health care systems that is accessible when
people need it and not when people can afford it. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The British Medical Association estimates that the 2024/2025
health care budget will be <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">£</span>186.7
billion pounds sterling (Department of Health and Social Care Budget - <a href="https://www.bma.org.uk/advice-and-support/nhs-delivery-and-workforce/funding/health-funding-data-analysis">https://www.bma.org.uk/advice-and-support/nhs-delivery-and-workforce/funding/health-funding-data-analysis</a>
). Excluding, for our purposes, the effects privatisation has on this budget.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, compare the health care budget with the £570bn estimated
to be held in tax havens by British residents; also known as overseas tax
evasion (How much UK tax is evaded via tax havens? 22/7/2022 - <a href="https://www.taxjustice.uk/blog/how-much-uk-tax-is-evaded-via-tax-havens">https://www.taxjustice.uk/blog/how-much-uk-tax-is-evaded-via-tax-havens</a>).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I agree that in 2024 these figures from the UK might be at
the extreme end of morality, especially political morality and ethics, but this
imbalance is not exclusive to the UK alone. What is clear is that the competing
forces of wealth and healthcare are certainly an issue for people in the 21<sup>st</sup>
century in their endeavour to stay young. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have already mentioned that education is an important
factor for our state of mind and mindset. In theory, education should help us
prepare for our state of mind in the future. In reality, our state of mind also
depends on the conditioning we experience in life especially in a work
environment. Society we live in is also a factor in our ability to learn and be
curious.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although this might not be a complete truism, for many
decades modern education has focused on teaching “what is” rather than “how to
learn”. Some education systems do include developing skills in people on how to
learn; but this is still not yet a universal practice. Knowing how to learn also
implies the ability for people to question the authority and politics of
political institutions. The road to staying young is full of traps and spooky
monsters, but this does not mean it cannot be done, as many people are succeeding
to be these days.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The empirical question, however, is still how many people
have the opportunity to stay young given human nature?</p>

<br>
<br>This coming Wednesday, 24th January, we are discussing: Does personality
<br>change over time?
<br>
<br>The topic was proposed by James and in my notes I try to identify the
<br>philosophical background of what makes a personality.
<br>
<br>Does personality change over time?

<br>- Book by Asuncion
<br>Title: Timeless Joyce
<br>Author: Asuncion Lopez Varela Azcarate
<br>Description: 2022 marked the 100th anniversary of the publication of
<br>James Joyce's Ulysses.
<br>
<br>
<br>This book is a celebration of Joyce's text and of the aspects that make
<br>his masterpiece timeless.
<br>
<br>
<br>Structured under the inspiration of Brancusi's spiral image, 'Symbol of
<br>James Joyce', the volume shows Joyce's play in two movements: a
<br>centripetal move towards unity, using myth, analogies and
<br>correspondences and a centrifugal force, with a cunning mixture of irony
<br>and unanticipated turns, where the dream of unity is shattered and the
<br>text resonates in multiple directions, manifesting its diversity through
<br>forms of duplicity and double coding. ……….more details from the AMAZON

</p><p class="MsoNormal">Does personality change over time?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Topic by James</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Notes by Lawrence</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We know that experience is a valuable educator. And
experience happens over time. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We might qualify experience in two ways: personal experience
and the experience of others. It is reasonable to argue that we learn more from
the experiences of others for example though education, family or society.
However, there is an important difference between these two types of
experiences. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Personal experiences involve our situational circumstances
that include our thinking process, our emotions, past experiences and our decision
making processes. When we get to know about the experiences of others, we are
usually presented with a narrative of what happened to that person. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of course, authors of literature, especially fiction
literature, use language to create that emotional awareness in the narrative.
However, factual type of experiences, such as history, technology, science, you
get the idea, is usually devoid of emotions. This is certainly because in our
society at least, we value facts over emotional feelings. Having said that,
some scientific papers can be quite entertaining if you know the language of that
science. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An example of a scientific paper that is quite emotional and
interesting is the paper by Francis Crick and James D. Watson “Molecular
Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid” published
in Nature (pdf file here: <a href="https://dosequis.colorado.edu/Courses/MethodsLogic/papers/WatsonCrick1953.pdf">https://dosequis.colorado.edu/Courses/MethodsLogic/papers/WatsonCrick1953.pdf</a>).
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My argument is that knowledge and information are part of
what makes our personality or character. It is worth pointing out that when we
act as a rational conscious being, we recall these experiences, knowledge and
information in our deliberation when inter acting with others. For example, we
might read an authoritative article on dinning etiquette before our high
society dinner with the royals or president. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We might also take the initiative to gain new experiences or
to acquire new knowledge. But this involves a certain type of personality such
as motivation and curiosity that might not be part of the stock of behaviours
of some people. Some people might have a personality of an angler; they wait
for the prey to reach them, whereas others are hunters they go out in search of
their prey.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Depending on our social circumstances, we learn new
experiences and new behaviours to fit within our circle in society. At this
level of personal circumstances, we do change our personality. But our attitude
towards other people might also change depending on our experience of other
people.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Unfortunately, there is also another cause when our
personality changes over time. Physical or medical changes to our body that might
affect how we behave in general and with other people in particular. We are all
familiar with all the various diseases that can change our character over time;
and I am not just talking about having a bad cold over the weekend. This is an
affliction that we have to endure as biological beings.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">From a philosophical perspective, we might ask
ourselves whether we have a moral duty to discover why some people change especially
when we perceive the change to be abrupt and maybe uncharacteristic of that
person. And what if a person changes so much that they become a danger to
others or themselves: what ought we to do in this situation? At the social
level, what if a person changes so much that they become intolerable and obnoxious?
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">There is no doubt that we do change over time, but
what concerns us most is the kind of change that happens to people. </span></p>

<br />- Book by Asuncion
<br />Title: Timeless Joyce
<br />Author: Asuncion Lopez Varela Azcarate
<br />Description: 2022 marked the 100th anniversary of the publication of
<br />James Joyce's Ulysses.
<br />
<br />
<br />This book is a celebration of Joyce's text and of the aspects that make
<br />his masterpiece timeless.
<br />
<br />
<br />Structured under the inspiration of Brancusi's spiral image, 'Symbol of
<br />James Joyce', the volume shows Joyce's play in two movements: a
<br />centripetal move towards unity, using myth, analogies and
<br />correspondences and a centrifugal force, with a cunning mixture of irony
<br />and unanticipated turns, where the dream of unity is shattered and the
<br />text resonates in multiple directions, manifesting its diversity through
<br />forms of duplicity and double coding. ……….more details from the AMAZON

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Topic by: Norma</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Notes by: Lawrence</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nature is a big topic to study. And respect encompasses a
meaning from admiration to moral obligation. We have no problem admiring
nature, but do we have a moral obligation to respect nature? Indeed, can there
be moral obligations towards non sentient beings?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today, in 2024, we accept that some sentient beings deserve,
and indeed we do have, moral obligations towards animals. Moreover, maybe we also
have a duty not to damage and harm what we call nature. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately, as in many philosophical and scientific
issues, our problem about nature starts with a language problem with our idea
of nature being something based on millennia of dogma and indoctrination that
somehow we, as human beings, are not part of nature. As if there is some
categorical difference between human beings and nature: nature in this case
means not pertaining to human beings. At the outset I will argue that there no
such categorical difference.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A quick look at the meaning of nature we find terms such as “physical
world” and the contrary of this qualified by, “as opposed to” or “not made by
people”. The disassociation of nature from human beings has the effect,
intentional or as an unforeseen consequence, of excluding any moral obligation
towards nature. I argue that this is not just because, in our mindset, nature
is different from human beings but rather that nature is inferior from human
beings. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We can even go further and argue that our mindset about
nature includes the idea of servitude. This very same idea is found in the Book
of Genesis, Chapter 1,<a name="top"> “[1:28] God blessed them (humans), and God
said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it;
and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and
over every living thing that moves upon the earth."</a> (<a href="https://www.vatican.va/archive/bible/genesis/documents/bible_genesis_en.html">https://www.vatican.va/archive/bible/genesis/documents/bible_genesis_en.html</a>).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As we know from the same Book, humans did not keep their “dominion”
or “subdue” to nature but wanted to practice their dominion over other human
beings. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For our purposes, what matters is the use and implications
of language that we employ to interact with nature. The issue is whether we do
indeed have a moral duty towards nature, whether sentient or inanimate things.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the twenty first century there is no doubt that human
beings interpret “dominion” as indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources
and the exploitation of human beings has never stopped. It is as if we pick and
choose which parts of the holy books we follow. But it is the arguments of the
holy books that presented the idea that somehow we are superior to nature. “Subdue”
does imply the idea of using force to overcome thing. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The irony is that those who today mindlessly exploit nature
are the very same people who promote this idea human superiority over nature. In
English, dominion does not just mean control, as in the control of nature, but
more important it means “sovereign” or “government”. And a moral government or
sovereign does not mindlessly exploitation nature and citizens, but morally
manage resources and citizens. Anything else is just oppression and
dicatorship.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This means two things. The first is that nature must include
in the meaning the idea of human beings. And the second is that “dominion” does
not mean mindless exploitation but rather “ethical management”. Now whether ethical
management implies theological ethics or rational ethics based on efficiency
and cooperation is of minor import. What is important is that we ought to pay
more attention to the language we use. What is clear, however, is that damaging
nature directly and negatively affects human beings and the latter is the
foundation of any ethical system against wrongdoing. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Title: Timeless Joyce</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Author: Asuncion Lopez Varela Azcarate</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Description:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 2022 marked the 100th anniversary of the publication of
James Joyce’s Ulysses. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> This book is a celebration of Joyce’s text and of the
aspects that make his masterpiece timeless. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Structured under the inspiration of Brancusi’s spiral image,
‘Symbol of James Joyce’, the volume shows Joyce’s play in two movements: a
centripetal move towards unity, using myth, analogies and correspondences and a
centrifugal force, with a cunning mixture of irony and unanticipated turns,
where the dream of unity is shattered and the text resonates in multiple
directions, manifesting its diversity through forms of duplicity and double
coding. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The double spiral movement of Joyce’s novel is aimed at
contrasting diverse perspectives on existential issues as well as religious,
political and even gender aspects. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Features such as Joyce’s mytho-poetics, the future of
nostalgia, temporal becoming, coincidentia oppositorum, apophatic theology and
philosophies of the occult are explored as part of an allegorical dimension of
myth that simultaneously seeks and refuses holistic unity. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Readers are involved in a sort of rite of passage, like
Odysseus in his perilous journey, forced to read forwards, backwards and
vertically in the fractal structure of the novel through which Joyce achieves
its poetics of infinity.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Available at Amazon</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Topic and notes by Lawrence</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today we get the feeling that the idea of science serves
certain people in society who wish to promote some irrational programme maybe
to exploit economic or financial opportunities to the detriment of society in
general. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Others talk about science to compare with religious dogma,
which instantly betrays a lack of familiarity with science, or maybe to promote
an agenda for political or ideological objectives. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whilst the subject of science and technology in the political
philosophy is very relevant in the 21<sup>st</sup> century, this would be a mammoth
task to pursue earnestly for these notes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Technology is today the darling of marketers and companies
who usually go on to market up their products and services with unreasonable margins
of profit. But there is no doubt that technology today has improved our lives
and some companies still pay homage to science to distinguish their products;
in the same way that companies still show people in white coats to sell their
over the counter medicines. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But what are the philosophical issues regarding science and
technology? The list is endless, but I will try to identify some topical
issues. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The consensus is that science is the endeavour to discover
the principles, sometimes called laws, of nature usually employing experience and
experimentation to arrive at these principles. We can say that science is a
methodology. However, not any experience, or any experiment will do. This is the
most important aspect about science, there are norms, established procedures and
protocols regulating how to account for experience and conduct experiments. And
even more important this methodology is always evolving and improving. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Technology is the application of scientific knowledge to
create “machines” to meet human needs. Technology is also referred to as applied
science. This is where some modern confusion might result from the misuse and
misunderstood language concepts such as science and technology. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the public domain, science and technology are
interchanged without further clarification. To take an extreme example we find
a discourse of such concepts as “mad scientists” but we hardly ever hear of “mad
technologists” or “evil technologists” but always of “evil scientists”.
Forgetting, as mentioned above, for something to be science or technology, it
must follow accepted methodologies. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Calling something, science, experiment or experience does
not make it science or technology. Moreover, just because the person conducting
such behaviour was or is recognised as a scientist or technician, it does not
follow that what they are doing is science and technology.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This scenario need not involve malicious forethought, just a
misapplication of the scientific method. The peer review gate keeping practice is
the obvious place to detect such misapplication of the scientific method. Genuine
mistakes do happen in science and even careless mistakes do get past the gatekeepers;
maybe negative results of studies are normally not published to protect the
reputation of honest scientists who, maybe, made a genuine mistake. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A second issue that is relevant for us is precisely the
inevitable connection between science, which might be regarded as theory, and
technology, which is indeed applied science. However, most times, advances in
science are not as advanced as science. This is quite understandable since the
robustness of technology has to include safety and risks to humans. But this is
a serious challenge to human knowledge: sometimes science make advancements
that we still do not have the technology to test these advancements, think of Einstein
and the theory of relativity. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A final issue is whether today more resources are available
to develop technology thus leaving advancements in science trailing behind
technology. Should there be more resources made available for the advancement
of new scientific theories? </p>

<br>
<br>
<br>Dear Friends,
<br>
<br>
<br>Our next meeting is on the 13th December because of the long holiday
<br>weekend we have this coming week.
<br>
<br>
<br>On the 13th we are discussing: Science and Technology. I proposed the
<br>topic and will try and have some ideas posted for my next email..
<br>
<br>
<br>NEWS:
<br>
<br>Milton has asked me to share this message with you:
<br>Hi Lawrence, as you know many people I thought to let you know that I am
