הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתי2:00 They reflect on the notion of free speech in their personal life, noting that as Americans, they feel relatively unrestricted in their ability to express themselves. While they believe in the importance of free speech, they emphasize the need for understanding the potential repercussions of one's words. 5:00 They highlight the issue of entitlement regarding free speech, particularly noting that disenfranchised communities and working-class individuals, especially people of color, often understand the consequences of their speech. 7:00 They discuss John Stuart Mill's perspective on free speech, highlighting its virtues as outlined in Professor Schaun-Kirk's book. Alex questions whether these virtues of free speech remain intact when negative consequences, whether legal or social, are imposed on individuals expressing their opinions. 10:00 They discuss how anti-capitalist sentiments may face legal repercussions, citing historical examples like the Red Scare. While acknowledging the potential harm of hate speech, they differentiate between harmful speech aimed at individuals and discourse challenging societal systems. 12:00 They the permanence of statements made on the internet, using Kanye West as an example of someone whose controversial remarks, particularly those deemed anti-Semitic, have lasting consequences on his reputation. 15:00 They discuss the complexities of social consequences resulting from freedom of speech, particularly in political discourse. While acknowledging the straightforward cases where individuals may choose to leave relationships due to racist beliefs or behavior, they express interest in instances where political disagreements lead to exclusion or shunning. 18:00 They discuss the disparity between individuals' abilities to express themselves freely based on their social context. They suggest that while legal consequences for hate speech may be minimal, social repercussions can be significant, raising questions about the balance between allowing free expression and preventing harm caused by bullying or hate speech. 22:00 They discuss the limitations of physical spaces for exchanging ideas, noting that public places like libraries often have restrictions. Also, they emphasize how individuals' exposure to different viewpoints online is influenced by algorithms, leading to a skewed understanding of free speech. 26:00 Alex introduces philosopher Miranda Fricker's concept of epistemic injustice, which focuses on instances where injustices occur in how individuals are perceived as credible knowers or sources of knowledge. They explain that biases, whether conscious or unconscious, can lead people to view others as not credible sources of information based on their opposing viewpoints. 30:00 They discuss the impact of social media and the internet on the dynamics of free speech, particularly among younger people. They highlight the potential limitations of free speech in online environments, questioning whether it fosters the same virtues as face-to-face conversations. 33:00 They express concern about the divisive nature of American society, where individuals are often pitted against each other rather than working together to solve common problems. They advocate for a shift in societal mindset towards collaboration and problem-solving as a team, rather than viewing others as adversaries. Support the show Twitter: @talkpopc Instagram: @talkpopc…

Alex suggests that societal beliefs may evolve through ongoing discourse and debate, leading to collective agreement on certain truths over time. 24:00 They discuss the consequences of censorship -- the phenomenon of cancel culture, noting its evolution from holding individuals accountable to resembling the Salem witch trials, where minor actions could lead to a disproportionate backlash on social media. 28:00 They explore the peculiar phenomenon of cancel culture, highlighting its dual nature. Alex questions the ethical implications of cancel culture and reflects on its damaging effects despite its origins in free speech. 30:00 They discuss the concept of cancel culture as a form of social censorship rather than a legal one. Alex argues that cancel culture often denies individuals the opportunity to defend themselves or redeem their actions, thus hindering their ability to speak freely and engage in meaningful dialogue.

The conversation touches on the challenges faced by artists in discussing sensitive topics like Palestine and Israel within certain cultural contexts. 8:00 They discuss the distinction between government actions that limit speech and actual censorship. The conversation contrasts the situation in the United States, where artists have more independence from state support, with that in Germany, where state support plays a larger role. 12:00 They discuss the complexities surrounding free speech in private establishments, particularly in the context of DJs expressing political views regarding Palestine and Israel. The conversation raises questions about the boundaries of free speech in private spaces versus public areas, with a specific focus on where the First Amendment applies. 15:00 They discuss the nuanced nature of free speech and the distinction between protected speech and speech that incites violence. While speech is generally considered a safe exchange of ideas, there are instances where speech can transition into action and potentially lead to violence, which is when it becomes criminalized. 18:00 They discuss the level of respect for free speech and diverse viewpoints at Brooklyn College. While there's room for improvement in considering opposing viewpoints, they believe that people generally maintain politeness and refrain from being confrontational, though there's a call for a deeper understanding of the other side's perspectives. 22:00 Dena emphasizes the importance of actively listening to opposing viewpoints, drawing on John Stuart Mill's perspective. Mill suggests that when engaging with the other side, three outcomes are possible: realizing one's own mistake, finding a compromise, or affirming one's own beliefs. 25:00 They reflect on the changing nature of libraries, expressing nostalgia for the days when they were spaces of focused learning and discovery. They lament the shift towards digital devices, noting how people are now absorbed in their own worlds rather than engaging with the richness of books. 28:00 The conversation reflects on the importance of understanding and engaging with people from different perspectives, even if they hold opposing political beliefs. They highlight the significance of focused listening and practicing conversations as essential skills for fostering understanding and unity in society. 30:00 They suggest that engaging in conversations with others could be more beneficial than protesting or organizing, as it allows for meaningful dialogue rather than feeling like shouting into the void. And they express hope that their conversation may lead to further discussions and exchanges of ideas. Support the show Twitter: @talkpopc Instagram: @talkpopc…

However, they suggest that modern theater may offer more freedom for marginalized voices to share their stories. 10:00 They discuss how individuals edit the information they consume, choosing which ideas to allow themselves to engage with. This selective intake of information, influenced by the online dialogue regarding the validity of certain facts and perspectives, is seen as a form of censorship in the modern era. 13:00 Dena suggests that this lack of recognition of what it takes to acquire knowledge contributes to the difficulty in establishing facts. Despite these challenges, she finds value in engaging people in conversation to collate diverse opinions and perspectives on topics like censorship. 16:00 They highlight the value of collective engagement in fostering a sense of unity and collaboration, whether in a theatrical performance or an educational setting. 19:00 They draw parallels between engaging in conversation and sharing an experience in theater, both involving the idea of coming together to exchange viewpoints and connect on a deeper level. 22:00 They explore the difference between being involved in an experience versus merely observing it, and highlight the freedom and lack of defense associated with being a viewer rather than an active participant.

There's a consideration of where the line is drawn between free expression and feeling unsafe on campus, concerning CUNY's Henderson Rules. 16:00 They discuss the discomfort often associated with new ideas and the challenge of fostering open-mindedness in students. While acknowledging the importance of broadening perspectives and encouraging students to articulate diverse viewpoints, there's concern about the prevalence of self-censorship and entrenched beliefs. 19:00 There's recognition of the complexity of discussing sensitive topics, such as Israel and Gaza, in the classroom, which can trigger emotions and open discussions about other traumas, such as those experienced by black women. The conversation highlights the challenge of navigating discussions around various social issues and the need for sensitivity and inclusivity in classroom dialogue.

הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתי00 - 6:55 Vincent and Levi debate whether there are kinds of speech that one should censor. Levi argued that censorship should be avoided in general, not just of government speech but of social speech. After all, people are too sensitive to censorship to ask questions. Vincent acknowledged that censorship is a hard topic these days, citing neo-Nazi rhetoric as an example. 6:57 - 23:13 Vincent and Levi discuss the influence of social media. Vincent believes that social media is now international and even global, and everything happens very quickly. Levi agreed and believed that people in different social conditions would have different ideas, censorship cannot stop people from thinking but talking. He believes that what people need today is "the third space," a psychological term that means giving people space to change their minds and reject past ideas instead of always sticking to the ideas they had ten years ago. therefore, people need to slow down and focus, learn from real-life conversations rather than social media, and value feedback from real people rather than Twitter friends. 23:15 - 32:05 Levi mentioned his favorite ship theory, which is to gradually replace parts of the old ship and combine the replaced parts of the old ship into a new ship, so the old ship and the new ship may be difficult to identify but are never the same. He compared people to ships, and thoughts are parts, "After traveling around the world, we are the original ship, but it does not mean that all parts are the same. The key is how to update your thoughts, and behavior gives people the opportunity to change ideas." He likes how old Disney movies are mentioned at the beginning as being "not representative of today's culture" because they respect the original and separate it from today's values. 32:07 -61:40 Levi came up with the idea that people are reluctant to engage in conversation because it's unsafe to talk in some places, and humor is a great way to solve complex problems, just like Tom chasing Jerry can always make people laugh. Vincent agrees but thinks humor isn't the only way. Then they talked about why people like comedy characters, the possibility of the film Step Brothers remake, and why some comedy shows are so popular, all with unexpected parts and combinations in common. 61: 45- 73:44 Vincent summarized the content of this conversation and expressed his personal reflections: Expanding into new conversations is difficult but always rewarding in the end, and personal conversations often turn into larger conversations.

47:12 הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתי47:12
הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתי00-2:08: Brandl speaks of the general topic of art as epistemology. He asks: What does this mean? It depends on how one defines epistemology; if epistemology is gaining knowledge, you can't interpret art as the study of gaining knowledge - it is not a simple predicate-identity sentence. But why not say that art is a tool for the study of cognition? 2:10- 2:47: Shottenkirk laughs and states that he's gotten to the soft underbelly of the problem quite fast! She notes, "I stole that phrase so long ago I forgot a long time ago...I stole it from Nelson Goodman...and I disagree with much that he said although I agree with this." I think it's a kind of epistemology. 2:50 - 4:00: Brandl notes that saying it is a kind of epistemology is quite different from his statement that art is a tool for epistemology. Shottenkirk says it is a kind of way of gaining knowledge of the world. But she admits that the phrase "a tool" is probably a more correct way. But then she rethinks that and says: if it is "a kind" that means it is one kind of species among many kinds of epistemologies. But if it is a tool then it is a way one gets to epistemology itself, right? 4:01 - 4:42: Brandl says, "No, a tool is an instrument that helps to achieve certain goals." So, what are the goals of epistemology? Ways of gaining knowledge. Then it is how art can be used to achieve the goals of epistemology. 4:44 - 5:25: Shottenkirk interjects that art is a kind of prybar - a tool that one uses to pry ourselves open and make ourselves vulnerable to other ways of looking at the world. Increasing our sensitivities, 5:26 - 7:35: Brandl says, yes, increasing our sensibility, giving us different interpretations. Shottenkirk agrees and discusses the role of low-level information. Peripheral vision sets the context for what we focus on, for example. Art is a sensory onslaught that allows us to practice the editing of perception. 7:38 - 11:35: But Brandl notes that we can also define epistemology as a tool. But now we have a tool for a tool! Here's a proposal: every tool you can use in different ways - put it to good use or bad use, etc. Shottenkirk agrees. She notes, as a way of socializing us, art makes us understand other people and work in consort with others, particularly within nationalities. This is culture. A way to build knowledge structures. 11:40 - 18: 20: Brandl says he is interested in the sociology aspects of epistemology, too. He Shottenkirk why she picked out (in the paintings in the exhibition) those four ways of accessing reality in the paintings (Hobbes (violence), Hildegaard von Bingen (transcendence), C.S. Peirce (analysis), Langer (the unconscious)) and then linked them to the philosophers. He asks, the way Susanne Langer picks out how art accesses reality is perhaps closest to you? He discusses other classifications by other writers. He and Shottenkirk discuss it. 18:27 - 24:00: Brandl switches to discuss Hobbes and states that he views Hobbes as "philosophical optimist". Hobbes was thinking, "we can fix it - we just need good institutions". But haven't we all lost confidence in that? Shottenkirk responds and refers to the Hobbes painting and the reference to violence and notes examples in all the arts that refer to danger/excitement. Brandl says what's the message here? He answers, "that's how we are and it won't go away and we are going to have to live with it." Shottenkirk agrees, and notes that art can't get us out of this (cruelty) but maybe it can expiate some of these tendencies. 24:01 - 30:57: Brandl notes that Shottenkirk had mentioned Brandl's paper "The Purposes of Descriptive Psychology", European Journal of Phil Support the show Twitter: @talkpopc Instagram: @talkpopc…

He provides background information on philosopher Thomas Hobbes, who believed that humans could find solutions to conflicts through societal arrangements but acknowledged that this optimistic view may not hold in contemporary society. 9:20 The conversation shifts to the application of philosophical ideas to music and whether music serves as an exception in addressing conflicts and discomfort. 11:30 They highlight the debate within musicology regarding the extent to which music reflects society but assert their belief that societal influences are present in all genres of music, including songs, symphonies, and chamber music. 14:00 They discuss the role of art in expressing feelings, particularly feelings about the state of society.

הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתי00- 1:30: Shottenkirk introduces the project. 1:30 - 3:05: König clarifies the definition of art to be broadly construed to mean culture at large, and Shottenkirk agrees. König then states that she doesn't really know why other people care about art though she personally cares for literature and for her specific gallery program. Art is like food: we need but we do not ask "do you care about food?" This is just part of our life. 3:05 - 4:28: Shottenkirk notes that every species care about food but we are the only species that cares about art. König says, "Yes, I think so, too, animals don't care about art." But people consume art. We like it and we need it like food. Shottenkirk agrees that there is a need, and then wonders what it is that we get out of it. König states that before she goes to bed she reads literature. "I live everything behind and enter another universe." 4:29 - 10:30: Shottenkirk says, "ok, let's go down that road". We are able to enter into someone else's perspective and that it is empathetic. She uses the example of a book by the Jamaican writer Claude McKay. König agrees that it is the goal of literature. And that brings us into others' worlds more than art. Shottenkirk asks why, and König says it's because it is something one does it alone, and that is something we need. 10:33 - 14:35: An audience member interjects and says, "Chekov says, 'art is the pain, not the doctor.' It means that Art doesn't have to bring solutions, it has to describe the problem." Other audience members add to this thought. Shottenkirk uses the example of McKay's description of having Trotsky say something racist and how that pain that McKay is, on a small scale, inside Shottenkirk's head now. But König disagrees, and says, "But maybe that not as pain but as knowledge." Shottenkirk agrees. And König says, "but it is a pleasure." 14:36 - 23:40: König notes that people do not read as much now. She notes an amazing book by Tolstoy "Aufverstehung". Shottenkirk then states that visual art does the same thing that you can get inside someone else's head. But König says, "I'm not so sure if you can compare them...you start reading...but you can start looking at the painting but you look at another painting, but with the book you must stay in the book for some time." She also notes that contemporary art requires prior knowledge of art. Shottenkirk agrees and asks if it true of literature. König says no. Shottenkirk says she has never heard anyone say that but it seems true, and sad. But König disagrees a bit stating that everything requires knowledge. 23:45 - : König shares a little about the origin of her daughter's name (whose birthday is today) and the literary origins of her names. König notes that music is a bit like literature as it is easy to "open the door" and enter in to. Yet, still, it requires some knowledge. For music and opera, "you have to tell them the story" and Shottenkirk questions whether that is in art. But König notes that there is in fact a story as it is how the artist came to this point. Shottenkirk agrees, and König states that she always challenges young artists how they are "adding a little piece to art history". It is important that "they all know what has been before." Shottenkirk adds that it is because we are building "social knowledge". This is why humans like art. We need to empathize in order to build knowledge. König agrees.

45:00 הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתי45:00
הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתי00 -1:38: At the talkPOPc exhibition at the 5020 Gallery in Salzburg, Austria, August 2023, Shottenkirk asks Gauker about his theory of imagistic data and arguments against propositional content. 1:40 - 3:30: Gauker begins by saying that he is interested in imagistic content. People's capacity to solve problems by mental imagery has been neglected in philosophy. Philosophers have tended to think of cognition on the model of reasoning from propositions. But we often solves problems by means of mental imagery. He gives a example of this in solving a plumbing problem, and then the example of putting on one's jacket. But he's not sure if that fact can be used as a tool for understanding art. 3:50 - 4:52: Shottenkirk notes that in the plumbing example, we don't need words for these things but we understand it in context. In art, so much of what we experience is of low-level features and we don't have to have words for those low-level features. We understand things things contextually; is that plausible? 4:50 - 9:48: Gauker (who prefers the phrase “Gradable qualities” to low-level) gives several examples of how real-world and geometrical knowledge goes into understanding the data that is stimulating the retina, and we don't have words for many of those things. It may be that the appreciation of some kinds of arts that they induce this kind of mental activity and that we find this pleasurable. But he's still not sure if this kind of thinking introduces anything to understanding the visual arts. Often he is just finding interesting the geometrical shapes, etc. Or appreciating a battle scene, etc. 9:50 - 11:30: Shottenkirk notes that Gauker has named three different ways one can process work: 1) low-level, 2) depiction or the reference function 3) the narrative. Gauker responds that many people are interested in having an emotional reaction elicited, but he is not in it for that. Shottenkirk refers to problems with the word "emotion". 11:33 - 14:38: Gauker makes the important point that emotion can't be the point to art as that would mean that "we are always interested in ourselves". Shottenkirk adamantly agrees and says that what art does is pull someone else into our world as art gives a first person perspective of the artist. Guaker worries that this commits the viewer to understanding the intention of the artist. Shottenkirk partially disagrees; the meaning of the artwork is only partially constituted by the artist's intentions. 14:40 - 16:47: Gauker notes that much of meaning is today dependent on the larger artworld. There follows a back and forth debate about context and meaning and intention in art. 16:50 - 45:00: Gauker takes the conversation back to the idea of emotion. Something is tragic because it represents a scene that is tragic; the viewer doesn't have to experience that emotion...just recognize the emotion. Shottenkirk asks him if he can put together that example with the former example of the plumbing problem. He answer as follows: It's only because you've seen horses and horses move that allows you to understand what's going on in a battle scene picture. Shottenkirk then pushes again, and asks "to bring emotion into the plumbing example", and then says, "yes, I was watching for that expression that says 'there's no emotion in plumbing'!" She notes that there is pleasure knowing how plumbing is put together - the tactile pleasure. Texture is an important part of peripheral vision. Gauker hesitates, and says that a plumber can do it quite dispassionately. Shottenkirk retorts that there are little micro seconds of good/bad - it is never completely neutral. The conversation continues with them trying to locate the role of emotion in art. Support the show Twitter: @talkpopc Instagram: @talkpopc…

It suggests that even in the absence of explicit government censorship, individuals may still self-censor due to societal conditioning. The idea of therapy and psychoanalysis is mentioned as a means of "unself-censoring" oneself and discussing topics, such as familial issues, in a safe environment. 7:45 Peluce suggests the importance of individuals being able to openly express, discuss, revise, and evolve their beliefs. 12;29 Peluce reflects on the process of socialization, comparing it to the development of a child's ability to express desires. The example of a baby learning to communicate its needs is used to illustrate this point, implying that as individuals grow, they also learn to express themselves more effectively and patiently. 16:20 They discuss the concept of self-censorship in interpersonal dynamics versus broader contexts such as government intervention. Mia struggles to think of instances where the government would intervene due to self-censorship. 20:30 They talk about the balance between freedom of speech and setting boundaries on harmful or hateful speech and reflect on the liberal approach to freedom of speech in the United States. 23: 20 Mia explores the difficulty of characterizing a category of speech that is harmful or derogatory, particularly concerning race, sex, or religious views.

Defining cognition to boot. 01:50: Art is cognition, especially for the Artist. It comes from cognition. Pollock would approach Art differently from Picasso, likely based on the stimuli in their respective lives. 03:45: Emotion also comes from cognition. How you feel comes from how you think. A dog or a cat person, depending on our judgments, our emotions change. We bring our prejudices everywhere. Except in this case, regarding pet preferences 05:15: The way you capture the world depends on how you've seen it and how you've lived, even two close siblings can differ. Art functions as cognition for the Artist as a mix of judgment, emotion and other things. 06:30: For the viewer, Art & cognition stems from a stimulus you pick up from the Art. If a painting strikes you, brings complex emotions, it just might be cognition. 08:30: A Pollock piece brings the idea of being noticed.

We edit visually, and perhaps auditory and smell don't operate exactly like visual editing. 17:25: You don't realize your senses in the moment until they're taken away or significant change occurs 18:35: Maybe music makes us remember where our bodies were at a specific time and place 19:45: Music places you in ways because it's auxiliary instead of primary. It's a background element. 21:45: Art is inherently connected to cognition. It's how artists process what they're going through, like an external hard-drive. It triggers a process of connection. 23:10: A corny violin at MoMA. Now it makes every violin trigger a memory/idea of corn Support the show Twitter: @talkpopc Instagram: @talkpopc…

Art takes a creative mind 04:00: The amount of sensory input from Art makes it different from conversation.

Removing the "Fountain" from the restroom makes it different. 07:30: Does Art have to be impractical? Or perhaps not accomplish a specific goal? Art is not about optimization and use, process over end goal. 09:00: If Art is impractical, why do we do it? Why do we seek it out? It's a way of expression and feeling different about the sensations in the world. 10:10: Non-sensational Art. How strongly are specific sensations associated with specific Art pieces? 13:30: Some things are done by the Artist and some by the Perceiver. A collaborative form. Almost a conversation between the artwork and the perceiver. 16:05: Reality is constructed, you need context. In a vacuum, things don't work. Support the show Twitter: @talkpopc Instagram: @talkpopc…

What is Art for us? From the point of an Artist, we don't think about it and let the subconscious work, or we focus our intentions through Art. 05:00: An experience can stop us in our tracks. We absorb the forms and forget everything else for a moment. What happens in the relationship of Art vs Observer 06:30: Art is a language, beyond our written/spoken. It's a language of world-building. We skip the process of translating and overdoing 07:40: In the beginning, we think we're an observer, not an Artist, but perhaps there's no true differentiation between the two. Are we all Artists? 08:55: The creation process is pivotal. Part of being a creator is deconstructing. It's a healing process of taking away the toxic things we've been taught. When you step into the observer's shoes, you're deconstructing. 12:00: When we process art and make it, we have analytical vs creative perspectives. How can we merge them? 13:45: Creative mothers and fathers. Portals to step through via Art. It's a beginning for others to make their own meaning. 17:20: Artist vs Observer is not a static position. The strongest Art comes from observation. Look within as an observer and create based on those inputs. 20:30: Where does Art come from? Do certain regions exist in the brain that constitute the thinking that drives Art? Genes modify behaviors as seen in other animals, but does this apply to us and our relationship with Art? 25:20: Unbroken cultures, the Aborigines and their land. Art as a topographical map and representations of the land over years. Process of communal creation over years. 28:00: Religion and war tend to go together. We make art from ground zero. Beginning again as a regenerative process. Where we're at mentally changes us, does it change our bodies? 31:30: The institution of religion is about power, especially in Europe. In other regions, religion is different as a tool to connect and not so much dominate. 34:30: Religious spirituality comes from within, does not relate to power but more so personal growth. It's a language to connect us. Support the show Twitter: @talkpopc Instagram: @talkpopc…

24:55 הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתי24:55
הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתי2:00-4:20: Arliss states that art had two phases: a hierarchical phase when it imitated music in structure. Like music has a tonic note to it, and art organized itself similarly with composition. But that "was shattered" at the early twentieth century with Kandinsky and Schoenberg who were doing work at the same time, and communicated. "From Schoenberg came horror music - the kind of music you'd score a horror movie to." 4:20-5:50: Arliss further explains that Kandinsky, before he was famous, was a fan of Schoenberg's. "I kind of think of Schoenberg as being the devil of music, basically." And they had a long correspondence. 5:55-6:13: Shottenkirk rephrases Arliss's position by saying that there was some kind of shattering of traditional structures, and that Arliss thinks it was a mistake. 6:13- 7:23: Arliss states that it was "deliberately a mistake". Schoenberg knew he was doing away with the structure he was taught. Was it a good thing? "I don't know" - it happened. And much of the art of the twentieth century is born of that shattering. "But it was a piece of a larger cultural movement away from traditional life; structuring your life around a belief in a God... it wasn't an accident that it followed on the heels of WWI." 7:25-8:49: Shottenkirk notes that when she wrote her book on censorship (Cover Up the Dirty Parts!) that this change in art was entirely the result of WWI, but Arliss is making the larger point that the demise of expected order in art is a broader sociological fact. 8:50-11:39: Arliss gives some history of literature in WWI. On the German side, Franz Rosenzweig wrote the "Star of Redemption" (on Judaism) in the trenches, and at the same time and on the other side Tolkien wrote Lord of the Rings, which is a profoundly (Christian) religious book. It was about pre-Christian people, and about dying. "What Christianity and Judaism sought to do was to preserve a memory of yourself" and Lord of the Rings is about "primordial slush of dying peoples in pre-Christian people" and the "anxiety and angst before Christ visited them". 11:40-11:41: Shottenkirk states that it is not clear how this is a shattering of normality. 11:42-12:25: Arliss answers: This was the way life was organized until Schoenberg and Nietzsche, etc., disavowed God and the organizing principle of art and the hierarchy of things. 12:26-13:53: Shottenkirk summarizes Arliss's points. Before the 20th C: Hierarchy, natural law theory. After the 20th C: it is a horizontal world. 13:53-15:30 : Arliss expands on the nihilism of the 20th century. 15:31-16:33: Shottenkirk agrees that art doesn't make up the social world, but it articulates the social world. But asks Arliss about the role of art. 16:34-19:03: Arliss argues that we today have this conceit that we are creative, but in truth we today are totally self-absorbed. But in former times, such as with Bach, who thought only God was creative, there was the most creative of all art. 19:05-24:55: Shottenkirk disagrees and argues that the 20th C. was profoundly creative. Arliss agrees that wonderful art came out of it, "but doesn't know how to square it with my argument". Shottenkirk states that the way to square it is to say that it is nihilistic. Arliss ends by saying that art is not about gaining knowledge; the relation between art and cognition is that there isn't a connection. The reason we do art is so that we don't have to think rationally about the world all the time. Support the show Twitter: @talkpopc Instagram: @talkpopc…

Nitsche explains it is Husserl's argument against Brentano's reliance on Descartes. Husserl wanted to do a philosophy of holistic experience. 9:39 -10:11: Shottenkirk asks if anyone connects Husserl to William James? Nitsche says Husserl himself did. Shottenkirk notes that the connection is obvious. 10:12 - 12:00: Shottenkirk discusses gist perception which gives both objective and subjective information, arguing that the error of empiricism is a model of the object coming to the passive subject. 12:05 -12:59: Nitsche talks about using the Merleau-Ponty notion of intertwining where there is no division of subject and object; even though we can speak of us being here and being separate from the world, it is secondary and not the root of perception. 13:00 -13:48: Shottenkirk notes that perception has, at its root, the marriage of object and subject. The problem is how we explain experience and perception with these two married things at the beginning. There has to be a fluidity. That is also talkPOPc: a fluidity of things. 13:50 -15:21: Nitsche discusses Husserl's notion of phenomenological reduction; it is not solipsistic. It is re-transiting the attention to a new domain, focusing on the intertwining of subject and object; refocusing on the gist. (Here we have a merging of the analytic philosophy notion of gist perception with the continental notion of topological intertwining) 15:25 -19:40: The notion of reduction, with Nitsche introducing the notion of orientation - it is in favor of a more layered notion of experience, which is closer to the artist's experience. 19:15 - 21:59: Nitsche, by using the example of touch, talks about avoiding the solipsism of orientation: when we touch our finger to our other hand we are not just subject/object. 22:00 - 24:00: Shottenkirk notes that "restriction" is not "elimination". In vision science, semantic/high-level features are strictly different from low-level features. But that view tracks the objects out there, which is a problem. If one doesn't completely divide low-level from high-level, then one can experience those low-level things as not part of a strict object/subject divide. So, when we have the experience of finger going into the hand, it is an experience even though it's not named. The range of things experienced are way larger than the things that are named. Nitsche agrees. 24:01 - 28:00: Shottenkirk defines topology in general, with Nitsche then talking about topology in phenomenology. A picture of the world that is transforming. Philosophy is topology. Meaning is that thing that is always being constructed on the fly. 28:10 - 29:53: Shottenkirk: Let's bring it back to art. Once function that art is the way we understand the world - it provides for those topological transitions: this thing can suddenly mean that thing.

Art becomes stagnant under dictatorial rule 01:55: The beginnings of dictatorship and stagnancy in Russia. A unique and simplistic style, not outstanding 02:50: Criticisms of non-individual art and propagandistic messaging. A contradiction of terms, impossible to have complicated messages and individual messages under dictatorship 03:55: Russian artists, and the posthumously published art. When you cannot speak about things, your thought is limited. Loss of ability. 04:40: Verbal expression as a means of embodiment of thought. If you write something down, it gets a special form of clarity. Just thinking is not necessarily enough 05:50: Costs of not being able to think and the lasting generational impact. Do we get these things back the moment we are free? People tend to catch up when they have the freedom to do so 07:00: Russia now as a copy of Western works.

Just art that takes us to an emotional space we don't enjoy. 07:40: Engaging with other's notions of art. Taking on their perspective and getting past self-limits.

Both are just conversations. Building of thought 02:50: The tent, the stranger, the conversation. Sharing magical moments with the world 03:55: Nicholas, intimacy of philosophical conversation. People get intimidated by philosophy. "I don't know what cognition is" and pulling out the glimmer 05:50: Trust and the importance of the 1:1. No dominance, no right or wrong. Just collaboratively talking 06:40: Carolina chimes in. Serious conversations, but it's a bit exhausting. Completely attending to your conversation partner takes energy. Almost a loving perspective to give them the attention they deserve 09:10: The backboard/springboard for conversation and thought to take off. It takes being informal, there's no script and you process your way through the conversation. 10:30: It's hard to turn off the philosophical practice of theoretical frameworks. It's easy to listen, but it's dangerous if you try to fit your conversational partner's worldview into something else. It's about drawing out a worldview 12:50: Sascha Benjamin Fink and doing philosophy for the first time. Turning away from opinion jousting and instead turning towards collective consensus. 16:00: We don't know what we think unless we sit down to articulate it. Normally, our lives don't encourage that. The benefits of creating space for articulation of thought 17:20: No citations necessary. No goal/rule to chase. Just a sandbox to explore thoughts. An interface between two individuals 19:50: Sense of ownership in philosophical practice. You both own it, but neither of you own it. 21:50: The importance of ensemble. The massive amount of people that inform us, and a network of information. 24:05: Taking thought away from social structure and making it cooperative. Listening is the key. 26:05: Art as the thing that makes you stop in your tracks. 30:40: Experiencing the world as holding some impenetrable secret. There's something lost when we lose our sense of wonder. The richness of someone's inner life can get lost in the shuffle. 32:05: If you try to get too deep into the art, you won't get it. You'll miss the important essence of it. 34:05: The role of the puppet. It's static and permanently attentive 35:05: The attention gets you access to the value and builds it as well. Putting in the work to pay attention to someone. There's a sense of intimacy involved. 38:00: When you first start listening to music, you try to hunt for some secret. What's the secret value here? But as you listen more with care and attention, you find the personality in it. 40:30: Our emotions drive the way in which we learn. Love and attention help us construct things collectively. 42:30: Blindfolding and allowing yourself to trust someone. Anonymity takes over for the 30 minutes of the conversation. 44:30: The role of circus in making thought a joyful act. It's not exhausting, and you can make it fun. 47:50: Outro Support the show Twitter: @talkpopc Instagram: @talkpopc…

Timestamps: 00:30: Narratives and their political/social role. The stories we tell are more negative, and we might miss something if it's all negative 01:55: What are the dimensions of badness...What's the role of identity? We want to feel proud of who we are, but the challenge is negativity. 04:10: The connection to identity. Belief in God and knowing "These are my people" 06:10: White people in America. Seeing things accurately and being the bad guy. Accurate but discouraging to the point of denying those narratives. The puzzle of accuracy and empowerment 09:00: We think of identity as a construct in the past, but we can think about the future as well. The thought of shifting perspective. Progressive identity, history and the future 12:50: Employing the utopian vision from the past as a mechanism to imagine what the future would look like 15:30: Movements unfold on different fronts. When people wonder about the role of philosophy, one of the fronts is theoretical. Policy exists on a similar level 17:00: Identity, while important, receives too much focus sometimes. Standpoint Epistemology. People that are members of an oppressed group have some special knowledge, but the way it gets metabolized is not exactly right. 19:55: Sometimes members of the oppressed class take on disadvantageous ideas. False consciousness and the reality of it. Engels' sociological work. Important work, but not by someone of the working class. Support the show Twitter: @talkpopc Instagram: @talkpopc…

How is Art a way for cognition to work? 02:15: The Smirking Mona Lisa. The peripheral perspective, rods, fovea and perceiving contrast 04:20: The sensors in the cornea. Color perception, detail, and Da Vinci's use of contrast built into his art and the fleeting smile of the Mona Lisa 06:20: The problem of zoom without peripheral information. The way for the brain to filter out less important information. Saccadic movement in the savannah 07:35: We're not meant to stare. Even dogs get it. 10:35: Compiling and adding up information. What's relevant to our attention? Constant computational processes through prediction. 12:50: We predict things, the search light of focus, but it's hierarchical. Bokeh and the blur of background as a metaphor. We like Bokeh because our attention works the same way 15:20: No divide between perception and cognition, the idea is that we're cognitive creatures. The world is a construct and we constantly re-make it. 17:55: Neural nets as the parts that deal with pattern recognition and statistics. Where the magic happens is de-coding. We predict what the world will look like and keep a copy of it. An algorithm of thinking 19:50: Pattern recognition. We can follow without explicit recognition. Rule following is pattern recognition. 21:25: Rules built on structure of implicit behavior that we don't think about. Otherwise, we'd be overwhelmed 24:25: Art as a unique concept for humans. Animals don't "do" art. When we can focus, Art activates all our systems, or at least brings them to the forefront. 26:35: Art notices. It points out what's interesting and helps us respond. Art tells a story and lifts the veil to show something interesting about you. 28:50: Art is that thing that makes you stop in your tracks. It makes you pay attention and try to figure things out. The genius of an artist is to notice it and build it into their art. 30:50: Why the color red bothers us. Support the show Twitter: @talkpopc Instagram: @talkpopc…

The beautiful mesh of natural and human. 04:30: Tendencies to surround the self with beauty. How does interior design/decor inform us of a person's mind? Even alone, we express ourselves for ourselves 06:30: Representing yourself is intentional. Expression is artistic and Art can be a form of something we're doing. We're real, gritty and natural 09:05: Posthumous Art and the role of intention. We share beauty, why keep it locked up away from the world? 10:45: Where does creativity come from in people? Is it innate intuition for the self? Can we point to it? A bit of a mystery, but we've been creative from the start. 11:35: Which aspect of the self are we expressing in Art? What counts as expressing the self? Do we need emotions in this equation? 13:35: Dreams as a vessel for Art.
