Feb 12, 8:24pm: Dear Sir,

Your Ulysses has presented the world such an upsetting psychological problem, that repeatedly I have been called in as a supposed authority on psychological matters.

Ulysses proved to be an exceedingly hard nut and it has forced my mind not only to most unusual efforts, but also to rather extravagant peregrinations (speaking from the standpoint of a scientist). Your book as a whole has given me no end of trouble and I was brooding over it for about three years until I succeeded to put myself into it. But I must tell you that I'm profoundly grateful to yourself as well as to your gigantic opus, because I learned a great deal from it. I shall probably never be quite sure whether I did enjoy it, because it meant too much grinding of nerves and of grey matter. I also don't know whether you will enjoy what I have written about Ulysses because I couldn't help telling the world how much I was bored, how I grumbled, how I cursed and how I admired. The 40 pages of non stop run at the end is a string of veritable psychological peaches. I suppose the devil's grandmother knows so much about the real psychology of a woman, I didn't.

Well, I just try to recommend my little essay to you, as an amusing attempt of a perfect stranger that went astray in the labyrinth of your Ulysses and happened to get out of it again by sheer good luck. At all events you may gather from my article what Ulysses has done to a supposedly balanced psychologist.

With the expression of my deepest appreciation, I remain, dear Sir,

Yours faithfully,
C.G. Jung

European Journal of Parapsychology: Dec 19, 2007 10:27pm 2 reviews paranormal, parapsychology, arthur-koestler •http://ejp.org.uk/; The European Journal of Parapsychology, edited by Paul Stevens and Ian Baker, both current members of the legendary Koestler Parapsychology Unit at the University of Edinburgh.

Rhesus Vocalizations: Dec 10, 2007 5:58pm 1 review anthropology, cognitive-science, evolution, primatology •http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/~mnkylab/m...; Your auditory ticket to fun on the savanna. Vervets exhibit the most sophisticated "animal language" studied to date. Since 1977, when Dorothy Cheney and Robert Seyfarth began their pioneering work, more than ten putative "words"--used both as warning calls against specific predators and in social interaction--have been identified. Seyfarth writes, "Watching vervets grunt to each other is really very much like watching humans engaged in conversation without being able to hear what they're saying. There aren't any obvious reactions or replies to grunts, so the whole system seems very mysterious--mysterious, that is, until you start [recording them and] doing playbacks."

Engines of Creation - K. Eric Drexler : Table of Contents: Nov 20, 2007 8:01pm 3 reviews futurism, nanotech, transhumanism •http://www.e-drexler.com/d/06/00/EOC/...; Originally published two decades ago, K. Eric Drexler's classic, thought-provoking examination of nanotechnology is every bit as relevant today, if not more so. Presented in its entirety on Drexler's own website, the book makes a very concrete case for molecular assembler technology's inevitability, the strength of which is diminished not one bit by the fact that gains in the field have, thus far, been fewer and more far between than some might have guessed upon reading the book in earlier decades.

Far from timid, Drexler's book wrestles with the difficult ethical and philosophical questions which will accompany the emergence of molecular assemblers, outlining a wide array of possible consequences, not all of them appealing. Nanotechnology could allow us to inhabit incorruptible bodies and sail a sea of (almost) limitless resources. It could also lead to the extermination of humankind overnight.

My favorite chapter deals with the ways in which nanotechnology could facilitate the colonization of space, allowing us to harvest resources from asteroids, sail on sunlight, and build whole continents in orbit.

Beweep this cause again, I'll pluck ye out,
And cast you, with the waters that you lose,
To temper clay. Yea, is it come to this?

[Painting: Lear and Cordelia in Prison, William Blake, 1779]
