Strictly speaking, this SHOULD be on the research page -- I only mention it because the title struck me as so like the discussion here: Bowie, Malcolm. “Proust, Jealousy, Knowledge.” Freud, Proust, and Lacan: Theory as Fiction. Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 1987. 45-65. I know nothing about the article or book other than this title and that it appeared on a Bard College course description for ISOLT.

Lily,

Once you add measurement to the process, the observations the quality of the observations will change.

For better or for worse? Or along some other parameters?

Or just plain the nature of them?

I said I wasn't sure there was a difference in unmeasured observations between a scientist and an artist. Measured observations will start looking very different. I wasn't making a value judgment.

It sometimes takes a round or two, but we are on the same page again, as far as I can tell! lol!
