# I guess if mother nature was an actual person
then it would be fair to say we were riding roughshod over her feelings by breeding animals and growing crops for our own comfort. But there is no real person called mother nature involved here, just a bunch of chickens and the mechanism of evolution, which is cruel and aimless and has no opinions.
(, Tue 18 Oct 2005, 3:16, archived)
# but that mechanism
and everything behind it created and adapted everything on the planet to become most suitable for life on earth, and continues to do so , you may think its aimless, thats part of the delusion of our culture, but in reality its methods is what keeps everything rolling on, and our interference ( our cultural vision) is acting against all these laws of nature, against the process of life itself, which is why the shit will hit the fan more and more the harder we try to control everything.

# Why do you have so little faith in intelligence?
Intelligence is much faster than evolution, and has all kinds of added extras like the ability to plan ahead, and value things theoretically rather than just produce empirical results. Us intelligent lifeforms are the new generation, and evolution is our senile old grandparent.
All evolution is good for is proving what kind of organisms can live, and it never makes its mind up.

# ..
Not every culture is deluded by our cultures delusion, aboriginals, small isolated hunter gatherer tribes and certain american indian tribes ( to name a few) still has intelligence, but our agricultural cultures have forgotten this intelligence because they have been deluded by the lies of our culture.
If we re-learnt this intelligence and 'had' intelligence like you mention we would not interfere.
What you see as intelligence in our cultural vision is founded on lies.

Why do you have so little faith in nature ?

# Just as a thought experiment:
suppose Lembit Öpik has his way and we develop sophisticated anti-meteor devices. Then suppose a huge asteroid is discovered heading for earth. Presumably you'd argue that we should let nature take its course, rather than deflect the asteroid? If so, what good does that do? If not, is the asteroid not part of nature in your estimation?
(, Tue 18 Oct 2005, 3:55, archived)
# there was a study
on asteroids that showed that we can not deflect them as shown in hollywod blockbusters due to the composition of their structures, our efforts with missiles would be absorbed and would create a nuclear fallout on top of the asteroid hitting us.
Space sails will not work either as the size of them would not be sufficient to do anything.
There would be nothing we could do apart from go underground and hope.

# I saw that study too
which is why I didn't specify how this system would work. You have to suppose that we've thought of an effective way, for the purpose of the question.

# we would not get that far
if we created something that could do that, it would be used on earth for other means or by unavoidable accident before hand and we would wipe ourselves out anyway ,so we would not have to ( or would be able to )worry about the asteroid/

# It's an asteroid-deflector
that works in an unspecified way.
It's not a giant escape pod. We haven't got one of those, in this thought experiment. What we've got is a device capable of deflecting the asteroid. Is it acceptable to you to use this device, or not?

I'm getting the impression the answer is no...

# The asteroid-deflector doesn't have the incidental effect of killing us all.
You just made that part up, because the idea that technology might save life on earth from a natural disaster would undermine your whole value-system (in which nature is a benevolent god and technology only causes harm).
(, Tue 18 Oct 2005, 4:28, archived)
# it depends
you can have technology thats good and tech thats bad.
With our current cultural vision designing it we will fail and double our chances of detruction, it would become inevitable.

But if we had a cultural change to our vision ( that has happened lots of times in human history) to bring it more in line with the cultural vision that evolved with man from the start of time then we would have every hope of surviving.

the tech and intelligence we know today , NO, it would not work.
The tech of a new ( remembered )vision driving us, YES.

Hypothetical question for you :

If you realised everything your cultural vision was founded on was a lie and would lead to human extinction, would you still believe the lies and carry on to fit in with the flock ,or would you drop that cultural vision ?
(, Tue 18 Oct 2005, 4:39, archived)
# I'll come back to that, because we haven't got to the best bit yet.
You've chosen to deflect the asteroid. This is because, in the judgement of you, a human, it's what's best for nature. Are you comfortable with that?
(, Tue 18 Oct 2005, 4:43, archived)
# your trying to put words into it
you put into the hypothetical question an asteroid mechanic that was foolproof and not dangerous to life on earth in any way, something that we will NEVER reach with our current cultural vision. So in your hypothetical question that will never come true the answer would be yes, but in reality the answer would be no.

To sometimes give as good as you get is part of nature too.

But to try to conquer is not.

# Hmmmm
I don't normally take part in these sort of debates, but I'm kind of duty bound to respond here. The way I see it, the 'problem' with intellect and logic is that they're practiced by fallible, emotion-driven humans. There is no such thing as an unbiased intellect except in the most rarified, trivial circumstances. Human intellect is almost always informed by need or desire, perceived or actual, however unwittingly or covertly. For this reason it is flawed when use as a sole tool for human improvement, not in theory perhaps, but almost always in actuality.

# :)
I mean I'm not big on intellect, but you already knew that :)

Ha ha, the other tool for human improvement? None was implied (or at least that was not my intention... I see now how you drew that conclusion though). 'Improvement' is relative, changeful, in the eye of the beholder, and therefore ultimately illusory: Medicine improves in efficiency, so more people survive, so more people need food, so more people starve. An extreme and probably silly example, but you know what I'm saying.
(, Tue 18 Oct 2005, 4:19, archived)
# not just people
the more people and more food for people there are, the less of all other life on the planet there is,

# Sounds a bit buddhist.
I think progress occurs. New solutions lead to new problems, of course, but that's the joy of living. Though I do agree, in a way, that it's all pointless. But we should keep striving forward anyway, 'cos it's fun.
(, Tue 18 Oct 2005, 4:37, archived)
# no
there is a way that everything 'works', and thats if we leave nature alone.

These problems only occur when we interfere, and we create 'programmes' to try to compensate for the flaws that this interfering creates.
To keep on reinforcing the flaw will just leave a lot more to crumble.

# Hehe, sounds like laissez-faire economics.
I wish you were a free market advocate instead of a back-to-nature type. You'd be great at it.
By the way, I like problems. Having no problems to solve would be terminally boring. It would be a static situation, like an argument without criticism.

# Well.
It's a pickled shark.

You could copy the BBC news and mention how this year's turner prize entries are less shocking (though still strange) than previous Turner-nominated artworks such as this shark. Perhaps being shocking is passé. Might get some mileage out of that.

# That's all good
if you want to busk it.
If you feel compelled to think of something truly meaningful to say about it, though ... you might be in trouble.
It's conceptual art, which is where the artist shoves something in your face and says "this is art" and you recoil slightly and say "oh right" and look dubious. Duchamp did it first with his urinal. This pickled shark is a more interesting object than a urinal. But most of the value of conceptual art comes from not expecting it. An endless series of irrelevant objects labelled as art would become boring fast (and in fact have, and this is called "The Tate Modern").

# Doh. It's always the obvious things you miss.
I think maybe Hirst meant the title of the piece seriously. Which is hard to believe, since it's a shark. But I think he thinks he's really communicating something about being frustrated with the fact that he's going to die, and wanting to live forever, which seems to be the sort of thing that bothers him philosophically. That and other human limitations like not being omnipresent, not being friends with everybody in the world, and little things like that.

its not stritctly postmodern in the sense of just being bold and random to take the piss out of modernism.

# Possibly the difficulty of identifying with a shark
relates to the "impossibility of death in the mind".
I notice that it doesn't work at all without the title to hint at an explanation. Maybe it would be good if a whole bunch of conceptual artists gave different titles to the same object. Would save space and money. Bargain.

# he studied
just down the road, here in Leeds.
In part of what is now the dental hospital which looks like a decayed molar.
They use formaldehyde to store medical and dental specimens, as well as sharks.
He designed a bar that looked like a chemist's.
There's a pub called the Fenton, which used to have blobby wallpaper a bit like the spot paintings but with fewer colours.
So mebbe a lot's just found or half-remembered rather than imagined.
Good businessman, though.

the dental school/hospital is part of Leeds Uni, but at first they didn't have enough dental students to fill it so they lent some of it to Art.
