  • Okay, got it, p. 139 of Steps to Ecology of Mind. Many thanks!

    Fantastic videos you have - all of them!

    and you seem to be having so much fun doing them - Is this play?

  • Good explication of one of Bateson's seminal ideas.

  • mdandrea39.The book-drop back-droop behind Prof Rantor looks like loads of necessary reading. It's a heady business, this staging of kisses that have debatable meaning/+s(?/=?).

    My grasp of cybernetics is basic compared to that of Profranton - or, as my daughters insist on calling him : endlessly fascinating ironic bibsexer. 'Efib' !

    Making me hate Bateson; hate intellect: Efi', you smooth talking, clever, girlwinding pingatester : Less of the Sex in future videos, OK??!? Let's talk about G.B.

  • The use of not! A kiss is a kiss or it could be a staged kiss, multiple layers of logical typing, and the not! Our ability to confuse logical types does allow for comedy, play, fun. How did I miss a call if I wasn't here to receive it? Not being here is being somewhere else usually unrelated to not being here.

  • Worst telling of the 'man walked into a bar' joke ever! But enjoying the Bateson

  • Very interesting video. I think that reality for humans is shaped a great deal by language.
