BATESON


One of my teenage enthusiasms:
Gregory Bateson's
_Steps Toward An Ecology Of Mind_.                   Cosma Shalizi
                                                     has something
A collection of pieces ranging                       against Bateson.
over different topics: entropy,                      He slips in a dig
alcholism, epistemology,                             about "someone
schizophrenia, arms races.                           who still takes
                                                     Bateson seriously".
Bits and pieces I remember:
                                                       I keep meaning
  INFLECTION                                           to ask him to
  BOTTLE                                               expound on that.
  ENTROPY
  SHIFTS                                                 (I can imagine
  BLACKBOX                                               many things you
                                                         might have
                                                         against Bateson,
                                                         I wonder about
                                                         his particular
                                                         complaint.)
