Soon

 When I was a kid I enjoyed the movie Ni vu, ni connu with Louis de Funes. I am getting there. Sometimes I misspell my signature. I don't recognize myself when I look  at a recent photo. My cellphone does not recognize my face, my Amex account does not recognize my fingerprint, I qualify as a bot when I want to join various sites that require recognizing buses or bicycles.  My dental insurance does not pay my expenses. 

Brain networks and inner voices

This seems to me  to be a new fact, wonder what philosophers think? Language and thinking occupy different parts of the brain.  

 "The starry heavens above me and the moral law within me" in what part of the brain does moral law resides?.

wrong in human history

 

Saw on you tube a captivating discussion with David Wengrow.  Was so interested that I checked if  it was commented in my favorite  intelectual paper of record -NYRB.  Turns out the review is even more fascinating (for a macro history illiterate like me) as it recapitulates various hypothesis of human evolution.   

Graeber and Wengrow  believe that social evolutionism is a con, aimed at making us think that we had no choice but to forfeit our freedom for food and that the states we find everywhere are the inexorable result of developments ten or twelve thousand years ago,,,

They emphatically agree with many evolutionists of the past couple of centuries that “something did go terribly wrong in human history.”

 Wonder if the current civilization has a  history of  zig-zags - left, right and ultimately adelante.   Probably I am still under the influence of the marxist dialectic I was taught in high-school. Right, left... like in ballroom dance. When I told my dance instructor I want  to dance two minutes without making any wrong step, she told me - one cannot avoid, everybody makes mistakes.
