    1. El resultado no es la unidad, sino la dispersión. Babel revela así el límite de toda construcción que, por grandiosa que sea, surge de la absolutización de lo humano y de su pretensión de autosuficiencia, sacrifica la dignidad de las personas en aras de la eficiencia y aspira a alcanzar el cielo sin la bendición de Dios.

      Viéndolo desde esta perspectiva esta metáfora nos vale para entender una ruptura con el bucle cibernético cerrado pero positivo. Un sistema teleológicamente eficiente pero con puro bucle positivo que reafirme su existencia. Lo que Dios hace en realidad es recordar que la contingencia ha de ser tomada en cuenta, y que lejos de pensarnos desde la unidad (átomo) es en la diversidad donde reside lo realmente humano. Aquí un poco de Spinoza podría ser de rica referencia.

    1. And everything that I learn, I learn for a particular task, and once it’s done, I immediately forget it, so that if ten years later, I have to – and this gives me great joy — if I have to get involved with something close to or directly within the same subject, I would have to start again from zero, except in certain very rare cases, for example Spinoza, whom I don’t forget, who is in my heart and in my mind.

    1. we've talked a lot about zooming in down and back on the evolutionary ladder like there's no obvious point at which intelligence emerges and there's a nice Elegance to pan psychism like it's 00:39:53 all always there and it's just on a continuum and maybe there's some bare minimum unit of Consciousness but if you scale it upwards again past humans even past social 00:40:06 networks at the at the most extreme level you would have okay treat the entire universe as a single system you get this kind of pantheist Cosmos psyche mind of God in Spinoza's terms what do 00:40:19 you think of that

    1. warns us against equating changes in scientific understanding of a sense such as smell, what is called “osmology,” with experiential transformations. Attending to the history of smell, he tells us, is also valuable in undermining simple binary oppositions between boundaried individuals and their englobing environ- ment, the basis of Cartesian subject/object dualisms. Instead, it helps situate us in a more fluid, immersive context, where such stark oppositions are understood as themselves contingent rather than necessary

      This reminds me of our Monday discussion of Spinoza re: how expanded "scientific understanding" changes (or doesn't change) sensory experiences.
