To the Group:

Greetings. I just wanted to add to what Anne and Arlo had noted elsewhere on this site -- happiness with our session last month on deep time, literature, etc. Lots of good discussion, and as I noted to Grobstein, our conversations as a group seem to be getting more interesting...

Alas, just in time for my departure. Yes, I am leaving. Off to Taiwan (not til August, but that seems very soon), for a year, but maybe longer. Depends on a lot of things.

Meanwhile... I was thinking of our group the other day when I was sitting in a thesis defense as a committee member for one of our graduate students in museum studies at University of the Arts. The student is building an exhibition on the nature of time, with the key thesis question being "How does one build an exhibit to communicate clearly an abstract concept?" Great question, great student.

I also brought up with Peter Rose (our guest on Tuesday, 20 April) my disagreement with Grobstein on an aspect of emergence. He found it amusing. I really want to bring it up with the group again some time before I depart. For me, I continue to be obsessed with the same questions that Guagin was: "D'où Venons Nous / Que Sommes Nous / Où Allons Nous".
