The uproar around here has diverted our attention from what we are supposed to be doing, which is, of course, operating/monitoring/interpreting the Being & Nothingness Cams. You’d think that with 3 B&NC Team members work could have carried on, even with a monkey hanging around.
The Being Cam image that Phaye posted Sunday is the first time that we’ve seen any tones besides black, white, and gray. Sia decided to whip out some of her philosophy weapons and said that based on John Locke’s principles of degrees of knowledge—knowledge, faith, and opinion—that all we could have now was opinion regarding any of the camera images. Tom pointed out that Sia’s opinion last week was that one of the Being cams was in the Marianas Trench.
Phaye—who I think is taking too much pain medication for her bite wound—said she thought it looked like either a monkey or a Twinkie that had been squished on asphalt. Sia said that since John Locke lived in the 17th century he would have had no knowledge of Twinkies. Tom said that Jean Paul (B&N)Sartre had died in 1980, which left room for him having knowledge of Twinkies. Yeah, right. A French dude’s gonna have “knowledge of Twinkies.”
Once again, no conclusions or even decent theories about the images we’re seeing. We agreed that we like Nothingness more than Being, which I think you could have bet money we would not have said two months ago when we got this project started.
