Die Schere #19

[richard_al <richard_al@csi.com>]

First the interpretation.
19/1  Fundamental research is higher than common life, economy,
institutions.
19/2  The organisation, the management, the society of consummation
which ensues can't satisfy on a long time.
19/3  In this type of society, in this frame, physics is no more than
parable.

Having reread Eumeswil "...Rhodes... and so much to do ...", but 
with no more light (Baudrillard, help), it's annoying to put at a same
level physics 
and parable whatever the translation  fable, story, image, allegory, 
saga, odyssey, road movie, tale, legend, myth ... let's the interesting
study of 
all different categories to Mr Caillois.
There is at least one difference. Physics is real, parable no.
When Mr Sagan or Mr Reeves and his folkloric accent he plays with, 
tell us, poor beotians the story of comets and stars, sure they're
right.
They describe reality or 99% of it.
King Arthur can move either in Camelot England or in Broceliande 
Brittany. Lazare can resurrect. No real frame. This carries hope. La
santa fé 
mueve las sierras. Now just a quick digression. Perhaps the reason why
Baudrillard in theory, with his concept of "simulacra", and Bourdieu in
the reality, with his
books *, attack the radioTV medias, is that they roughly mix reality and
legend. When the TV guy is standing near the shroud, or in front of
the White House, the good catho MUST believe the shroud was that of
Jesus 
20 centuries ago. No comment about the White House.
In the computer technique, there is the wysiwig**. The TV reality
becomes immediately legend. The same for the police series. Happy
birthday to you, Mr Derrick for the guinness record of 300 episodes
unfortunately unknown in US and Can
cause too "slow", and car is a diesel. The cult series are based on very
bad reality, glauquitude (scuse the neologism), and become mythical.
Near this, traditional myths are not heavy, even the little red riding
hood.
