"to try TO remember the Many words of art" -- CORRECTION TO MAKE UP FOR NO-POST-SEND-EDITING.
Gelles 08/22/2012 11:47 PM Report
Watching the autism rebroadcast (ownership of this phrase belongs to sugar (08/21/2012 08:46 PM) -- I'm no plagiarist; and neither was Fareed, the imported younger Charlie Rose)), hearing it especially, allowed me to be sure I had just enjoyed the best conversation ever broadcast by PBS -- maybe the best ever carried on television anywhere at any time.
I am re-enjoying the whole 2nd year of the new science of mind and brain -- starring (in this episode) Rose, Kandel, Fischbach, Frith, State and Singer.
Never have I heard its equal in articulate skill, important research, and downright listening pleasure.
I will have to review each episode from my internal DVD and over the internet to try remember the any words of art that help us to understand how research advances understanding of our own past and everyone's future prospects.
I know Charlie Rose does not assume he and I are responsible for future funding of popular education via shows like his. Responsible, that is, for reform of political economy so that "deficits matter not at all" and democratic presidents ought to risk impeachment by over-ruling congressional abuse of the "power of the purse". Science has taken us from Shakespeare to Kandel and his colleagues. Who will take us from Keynes to forbidding abuse by austerity freaks and deficit hawks?

Watching the autism rebroadcast reminds me of a question I often wonder about when experts discuss the burgeoning increase in this condition: has a study been done to learn if there is a connection between use of assisted fertility (donor, IVF, etc.) in conceiving these children?
