Icarusfalling: Changing 'Be the Change ...'
http://icarus-falling.blogspot.com/2011/10/changing-be-change.html
Walking a path with knowledge humility. Sunday, October 2, 2011. Changing 'Be the Change .'. Of inquiring into quotations people famously never said. Is this intrigue of how we change thought, sometimes unconsciously, and almost innocently. In our mindfulness of mind our disrespects are done with great respect. The name I have for this is ' Consciousness Co-Opting. This first, be the change you wish to see in the world.". We need to be the change we wish to see in the world.". To come back to the origina...

Icarusfalling: Back to Bass-ics
http://icarus-falling.blogspot.com/2012/06/back-to-bass-ics.html
Walking a path with knowledge humility. Sunday, June 3, 2012. As I near completion of my PhD Thesis. Write up I realised I needed a distraction from the mental ardour and daily grind. A form of relaxation that was not stagnation, so I thought I might do something manual - a different type of craftsmanship. Being an amateur jazz musician. Rhythm and the signal to the next shift. In signalling to myself for the next shift - it made sense that I would like to make a bass to lead that. That is how it is some...

Icarusfalling: Simplicity and Self-ishness
http://icarus-falling.blogspot.com/2010/11/simplicity-and-self-ishness.html
Walking a path with knowledge humility. Wednesday, November 17, 2010. I have been looking at contributive and dissipative cycles at the humanity scale and a topic of intrigue is whether providing contributions to systems of destruction provide a coaction of meaning. This is a very theoretical way of asking: "Does doing good things for bad systems really help anyone? For ecological management, we already have the answer; courtesy of intellectual ecological systems leviathan, Simon Levin. Makes costs and...

Icarusfalling: October 2010
http://icarus-falling.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Walking a path with knowledge humility. Saturday, October 16, 2010. I completed an art piece today. I cannot remember the time when I actually took the day off from other duties to simply make art. I might say that I am not an artist. Yet, in a way everyone is. We create a meal, a mood, a moment, a motion, a monologue. What I realized is that it is the. That is the practicing artist's distinguishing. Feature. Everything is in the execution. This piece was originally simply going to be ten indiscernible.

Icarusfalling: Value and Valuing
http://icarus-falling.blogspot.com/2011/04/value-and-valuing.html
Walking a path with knowledge humility. Friday, April 29, 2011. I was reading journalist and author Arthur Koestler's 'five' part trilogy again recently. That is The Sleepwalkers. 1959), Act of Creation. Book I and II) (1964), The Ghost in the Machine. 1967) and Janus: A Summing Up. 1978) The work as a whole covers an investigation of immense ground and circles back on itself, yet within it is the story of the how humans discover and how we discover our humanity. The awareness of knowledge hubris. It is ...

Icarusfalling: August 2011
http://icarus-falling.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Walking a path with knowledge humility. Sunday, August 21, 2011. Map is Not the Territory, and . I am continuously interested in this theme of the "Things people [in]famously never said .". There is something in this phenomenon of 'sociological distortion' that is empirically interesting in the cognitive assessment of psychosystems. My grandmother (who lived to be 100 years old) used to say: " Believe none of what you hear, half of what you read, and a little of what you see. The map is not the territory.

Icarusfalling: Something From Bees
http://icarus-falling.blogspot.com/2010/09/something-from-bees.html
Walking a path with knowledge humility. Saturday, September 18, 2010. Something is up in the human hive. If we think about evolutionary intelligences. The metaphor of the human hive discloses something about ourselves, not just at the city level, but at the humanity level. As the patterns of mankind and its effects on many landscapes (physical, sociological and psychological). See happening right now in the human buzz? One event is the launch of the connected and universal 'Like This'. Voting in the ever...

Icarusfalling: Humanity and Human-ness
http://icarus-falling.blogspot.com/2012/01/humanity-and-human-ness.html
Walking a path with knowledge humility. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. I had cause the other day to recall a friend and colleague's favourite quote by Lucius Annaeus. Seneca, which is paraphrased (in contemporary form) as:. Because I am human, nothing human is foreign to me". Or - Nothing human is alien to me. Or - I am a man: and I deem nothing pertaining to man is foreign to me. Or- I am a man, and, as such, concerned in every business that relates to man. As cited in Fantham. Homo sum, humani. As for thin...
