  1. Experiencing the BBC these days has moved from the uncanny to the absurd, speaking as a (?). i must say my "passive" confrontation with its "active" simple structuralist substitutions of white man for minority women, between a time differential, regardless of context and indexically, has been triggered by its sublimity into awe and activity on my part (Kant's sublime as rethought by a Contemporary Artist though the uncanny at Uni some 14 years ago. On reflection though now i can maybe interpret what is happening behind the frame as awe and far to viewer "energy" and "action" triggering us out of passivity into actively a by a familiar early 20th Century theatre tactic similar to "breaking the fourth wall" Bertolt Brecht i think). It has Marxist origin perhaps to not give information alone but create disquiet and energy and action. Marx revision of philosophy describing the world to philosophy as changing the world. It also put s me in mind of a heuristic in maths teaching: you deliberately put errors on the board, not just to "see if they are awake" but to generate active following a proof not just passive observing, and also to give them confidence in their own abilities and in that in math authority can be legitimately challenged. in maths the student has real possibility the power to challenge. it also make me think of a type of mathematical proof by running a proposition to absurd consequences and even contradictions. (the complexity of mathematical proof and disproof has move far beyond my education and so it will take time for a nice definition here and example.) I have adapted this to proving transcendental philosophy as Kant's "conditions of possibility" from showing the agent's attempt to reject intentional structure (tendentiously to force identity indexicality against difference )of a field of experience by claiming that a field is entirely contingence and therefor there is real a possibly of an entirely "disordered experience" (a contradiction in terms transcendentally) then expressed modally as: a claim: of the possibility of of disorder entails the claim the "impossibility of the possibility of disorder" by any means, entails the the necessity of order. In an earlier paper i did some 12 years ago on Kant applied to postmodern social theory from the impossibility of disorder to the necessity of order. it is an attempt to support a Strawson position on intentionality and personhood and identity against the coming storm of contingency argued for by my post modern collages. (needs work i know, but it means the necessity of continual wisdom and judgment in the political cosmology as a whole though underdetermined boarders of intentionality, as condition of legitimacy. the question in Kant quickly becomes whether the Aesthetic as the place of mathematics as synthetic a priori is a self standing argument or needs to be thought as depencnet upon the activity of the Understanding and Reason too. All conference discussions on these issues, in my experience ended up leading to Dieter Henrich. Recently passed away in December) So the BBC might be doing this for two reasons: first they are taken over by the left and they might want to use this to destroy the BBC, not convert it, though drawing in viewers intentional legitimising action of rejection of the TV licence fee. A long dream of the far left, done by deliberately cutting of the branch they are sitting on. or secondly they might be doing the opposite to present radical uncanniness and sublime horror to get us to, in Lenis words: " Do something!". Puts me in mind of the S*x Pistols first TV appearance at Granada TV on Tony Wilsons "So it Goes" in 1976: Johnny Rotten, provocatively gives it, something like "[you boring old hippies] "get of your arses!" Memories of documentaries and movies for me really.

  2. But: The villain of the future will be a Professor (?) Blofeld, and will not be in a cave with a giant laser, but in a University, with a giant Lecture Theatre. So may be we need a Bond, a, Jane Bond!

  3. Just to be clear! Our Jane Bond will meet "R" and get a special secrete video podcast: "How to look someone up and down...slowly", a miniature CD player with a miniature CD "The Logic and Grammar of Implication", and download copies of the BBC Play "Abigale's Party" (1977). Training will take place at "Station Manderley". With the opening sequence being a staring contest against "Smash" agent Ms. Danvers.

  4. Happy New Year everybody. I'm too tired to do justice to todays show, but with unjust and anomalous comment but i want to inform you that over xmas and New Year... I followed the shows of the Social Justice discussions on Owen Jones Channel and the, I think far left Novara YouTube Channel, since the left never sleep. But Surprisingly they both did two very interesting shows on themes of: Novara: Housing and Cities and Architecture (c.f Roger Scruton) touching on more recent Social Geography theories than i am familiar with. the theme here of demographics was taken up by Owen Jones in a very interesting discussion on demographics and the changing political orientations of different generations since world war two. I took to interpreting this though a joke i had made on Einstein's covarient and contravarient Tensor notation. and some very interesting and fecund possibilities began to be opened up. I wrote a legion of comments on the Channel comments section. Relax: I don't want to go though it all here on symmetry etc, i intend to try and sort it out into a coherent point given time: since it seems a conceptual frame can emerge to capture much of the diversity of many themes of modern politics in one picture. But i want o leave you with two questions to think about if you are able and motivated: 1. Imagine a man parked up in a car, lost in London at night, and listening to the radio. At midnight he hears Big Ben strike 13 times.! can he define a frontier of where he might be. 2. Is the theory and practice of science the same by all people no matter who they are and where they are. I'll listen o your show in a couple of days i recon. Thanks for your gift, and understanding of the time difference for my return.
