[Fis] Chuan's reply8 - THE FRONTIERS OF INTELLIGENCE SCIENCE-- an old poem as an echo

Thu Mar 19 19:27:53 CET 2015

Dear Chuan, Rafael and All,
There is a point in this exchange which perhaps should be addressed explicitly: everybody knows that people differ in their capacity to appreciate poetry emotionally. But we also differ in the capacity to appreciate the importance of poetry and art for science; this might be said to require an
'intelligence' of poetry. Perhaps someone else can express better what I am trying to say here.
Best wishes,
Joseph

Dear Stanley N Salthe and All,

         I am back to
              my duty from ten days hard work. Reliving from tired let
              me come back to the breakpoint – Stanley’s poem echo to
              Emily – and my draft reply as a new poem the same. I will
              finish and put out next mail – reply as another poem is
              “The Song of the Computer” and another poem on Internet.
              These two have send in our FIS years ago. And now “here a
              stay, and there a star”, now “ struggling to affect each
              other from our slowly burning bodies”, let us put these
              stars here again as a bunch of flower first.

         Let this as my
              echo. We can image a Science fiction: long long after,
              there is a country, there  set
              such an law : if you have not replied an poet’s poem at
              once, if delay five days, you are evil. So let me use an
              old poem echo your poem as soon as I finished my heavy
              work.  

         Thanks for you
              poem. That is nice!

         More reply and
              the new later.  

         Best wishes,

Chuan

        INTELLIGENCE SCIENCE-- a poem & the π-festival

Chuan, fis'rs

Here is a poem I wrote a couple of years ago:

internet fellowship 

    is like --

        being in heaven?

we’re

     disembodied spirits

          struggling to
                affect

     each other.

patterns of ‘on and off’ in
                the waves and wires

like cells in an organism

 we’re disembodied spirits
                launched from our slowly burning bodies,

       the fuel for our
                cognitions,

            like charcoal
                for a flame

maybe this is (what) heaven
                (is like)

       launched upon the
                embers of hell.

Dear FISers, 

         These days I
                      am doing a heavy and important work that I can not
                      finish my respond mail. Though there are many
                      ideas emerge in my mind. 

         Let me put a
                      poem of Emily DIKINSON in our dear discussion.   

OUR
                        SHARE OF NIGHT TO BEAR

Emily DIKINSON

Our share of nights to hear –

Our share of morning –

Our blank in bliss to fill 

Our blank in scorning – 

Here a star, and there a star,

Some lose their way!

Here a mist, and there a mist,

Afterwards – Day!

                      1890

c.1859

         For I thought
                      of the image of “here is a star, and there is a
                      star” and looked for this poem to share here. Let
                      us shine and share.

         Dear Joseph, I
                      agree with the Stanislaw Lem’s opinion. 

         Yes, she is
                      right: afterwards – Day!

         Tomorrow is π-festival
                      – March 14 - 3.14. I celebrated aπ-festival
                      this afternoon. That is wonderful. And it is the
                      birthday of Einstein the same. 

         Cheers!

         Chuan
