- Most artists are very nervous about scientific analysis. They feel it destroys something about the human aspect of creativity. \[…\]Some fear that too much analysis will only break the spell. Likewise, most scientists see the creative arts as an entirely subjective development that long ago left science to tread the long road to objective truth alone. Whole books have been written about this bifurcation, but here I want to talk about some interesting points of contact between art and science that are facilitated by the growth in our understanding of complex organization and patterns. I believe that the sciences of complexity have a lot to learn from the creative arts. The arts display some of the most intricate known examples of organised complexity. Likewise, the creative arts may have something to learn from an appreciation of what complexity is and how it comes about.
- Yes, I have returned to this arcaded city, unwisely, it may be. I rented a place in one of the little alleyways hard by the Duomo, I shall not say which one, for reasons that are not entirely clear to me, although I confess I worry intermittently about the possibility of a visit from the police. It is not much, my bolt-hole, a couple of rooms, low-ceilinged, dank; the windows are so narrow and dirty I have to keep a table lamp burning all day for fear of falling over something in the half-dark.
- The geography of the Aran Islands is very simple, yet it may need a word to itself. There are three islands: Aranmor, the north island, about nine miles long; Inishmaan, the middle island, \[…\]nearly round in form; and the south island, Inisheere − in Irish, east island, − like the middle island but slightly smaller. They lie about thirty miles from Galway, up the centre of the bay, but they are not far from the cliffs of County Clare, on the south, or the corner of Connemara on the north.
- President George W. Bush has told us that the question of whether to withdraw from Iraq is one that his successors will have to deal with − not him. I don’t think so. Bush is not going to have that luxury of passing Iraq along. You see, the insurgency in Iraq is in its “last throes” − just like Dick Cheney said. Unfortunately, it’s being replaced by anarchy in many neighbourhoods − not democracy. And I don’t believe the American people will put up with two and half more years of babysitting anarchy instead of midwifing democracy.
