Just had a thought. RE: the discussion of mimesis, I gave as examples studies of artificial intelligence and artificial life. Then it struck me: "climate change models" are terrific examples of mimesis. We use the mimic to "predict" the future — and the mimic is telling us our future is catastophic if we don't do this and that (i.e., reduce CO
2 emissions). Kinda looks like a rigged game to me — and yet we get "cap and trade" anyway. Sigh....
Oh, well.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY dearest sister in Christ, and to all our FReeper friends!
