To my mind this makes psychedelics central to any political reconstruction, because these are the only force in nature that actually dissolve linguistics structures; lets the mechanics of syntax to be visible, allows the possibility for rapid introduction and spread of new concepts; gives permission for new ways of seeing; and this is what we have to do, we have to change our minds.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. they open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.

It seemed to a number of philosophers of language, myself included, that we should attempt to achieve a unification of chomsky's syntax, with the results of the researches that were going on in semantics and pragmatics. i believe that this effort has proven to be a failure. though chomsky did indeed revolutionize the subject of linguistics, it is not at all clear, at the end the century, what the solid results of this revolution are. as far as i can tell there is not a single rule of syntax that all, or even most, competent linguists are prepared to agree is a rule.

In quantum mechanics there is a causing b. the equations do not stand outside that usual paradigm of physics. the real issue is that the kinds of things you predict in quantum mechanics are different from the kinds of things you predict using general relativity. quantum mechanics, that big, new, spectacular remarkable idea is that you only predict probabilities, the likelihood of one outcome or another. that's the new idea.

The lesson for asia is; if you have a central bank, have a floating exchange rate; if you want to have a fixed exchange rate, abolish your central bank and adopt a currency board instead. either extreme; a fixed exchange rate through a currency board, but no central bank, or a central bank plus truly floating exchange rates; either of those is a tenable arrangement. but a pegged exchange rate with a central bank is a recipe for trouble.
