We had this dialogue at Nahuala, and it was a very nice experience since the article talked about Liberal Art education.
The sociology of trying: You don't know what's out there, until you go out there to search it.
Each of the arts are a spontaneous order, and that we can come to a clear understanding of art history, the origins of works and art, and how artist create if we understand the arts as such an order.
Self-organizing systems, are networks of elements with bonds that form and break, strengthen and weaken over time.
Real-world networks exhibit dynamic self-organization and are statistically very heterogeneous, which are characteristics of complex systems.
Can we consciously create the proper system or does it have to evolve naturally?
System has to be more complex than the parts. brain, cells, molecules, atomic subatomic levels.
Something more complex than ourselves, if we ever reach to a point were we have artificial intelligence.
Complexity- parts interact and a new property emerges.
The liberal arts complexify your mind by having empathy with more character you become more cosmological, open to other people and experiences. Creation to more liberal societies.
Spontaneous orders seem to be complex, discovery process, use abstract rules rather than commands, are decentralized- meaning, they rely on "local knowledge and personal insight" and achieve coordination through feedback.
Like the biosphere, the econosphere (Kauffman), is a self consistently co-constructing whole, persistently evolving, with small and large extinctions of old ways of making a living".
We encounter problems when we try to apply the rationality of one order to that of another, criticizing a system based on values and reasoning alien to that system.
Different orders emphasize or deemphasize different sets of instincts. Oppositions can and do arise because all too often human instincts occur in oppositional pairs, creating the kind of paradoxes necessary for complex social behaviors to emerge.
So how do we go from instincts to spontaneous orders to immanent criticism?
We should understand our instincts as strange attractor in the brain that affect adaptive behaviors, constraining those behaviors, but not actually causing those behaviors. Our instincts thus act like the rules of the sonnet- they are generative and creative, but not causative.
Creation of Memes: emerge when the human nervous system reacts to an experience, they contain behavioral instructions that are passed from one generation to the next, social artifacts, and value-laden symbols that glue together social systems.
Memes emerge, evolve, undergo natural selection, and, as a consequence, may even go extinct. They are self-organizing, self- replicating strange attractors which contribute to the creation of the physical particulars, of the physical entities which make up the material portion of any given complex adaptive system.
Literature imaginatively investigates what-of scenarios in a safe play-sapace allowing people to test their memetic boundaries, to see how things will turn out before such transformed memes are released into the real world to transform its appropriate social systems.
A meme both reinforces one or several instincts, without coming into conflict with any, and contributes to the creation of a more complex social order, ensuring the order's continued existence, that meme itself has an increased likelihood of survival.
The liberal arts including- art, literature, philosophy, architecture, and music- to liberate those who learned from and participated in them.
Respect for individuality and equality of status.
If ethics involves the creation and maintenance of good social bonds, and if extensive bond-formation is necessary for spontaneous social orders to emerge, and if living well in such an order involves imagination, the capability for rational criticism, and ethical behavior, then the liberal arts are vital to the creation and maintenance of spontaneous social orders, as " it is through the aesthetic education of reading that the individual cultivates a capacity for imagination, for criticism, for alternative sensibilities and therefore for an amplified, not a lessened, ethical participation in the world.
That structure of individual choice is at the basis of the category of taste, which arises through literature but which allows the reader to participate in economic choice more broadly. Economic choice is a selection, based in part on taste, among various options of consumption, unlike the political choice that entails a need for decisive action, and therefore one solution.
Entrepreneur, Like an artist, he is a visionary, a risk taker, and a pioneer, and if he is to be successful, he will generally be found running counter to the crowd, or at least ahead of it. In the end, autonomous literature contributes to the development and maintenance of the liberal society precisely because it contributes to the creation of the kind of people able to prosper in spontaneous social orders.
To be identified as a particular work of art, that work had to be produced by an artist following procedural rules- rules which evolved and are evolving through audience feedback.
The arts are the very foundation of liberal inquiry.
Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.
