REVIEW: Jet - Get Born (2003)

Review dedicated to the donor of this CD, Mr. Harrison Kopp.  I hope I like it.  I am writing this review “live” so to speak, on first listen. JET – Get Born (2003 EMI) Get Born is Jet’s first LP, only two years after forming, and after one 4-track EP.  Let’s listen and find out how adept this band got at writing songs after only two years.  You already know track 2, “Are You Gonna Be My Girl”,…

Wilson objects to a conception of metaphysical practice which suggests the following parallels between metaphysical and scientific theorizing. Metaphysicians investigate our pre-scientific concepts and seek to formalize them into general theories, just as science achieves precision for its concepts via axiomatized theories; and since this method is successful in science, we should also expect it to be successful in metaphysics. Moreover, implicitly (or sometimes explicitly), such metaphysicians presume that wherever science takes us conceptually, since the metaphysical concepts are prior to the concepts of science, they are not subject to revision due to developments in science. Wilson pushes back. Insofar as the metaphysicians claim to be following the methods of science, they fail to do so if they focus on the pursuit of a single, all-encompassing, axiomatized theory. The development of science teaches us two things, he says: axiomatization is an insufficient goal, we should instead expect fragmentation; and this fragmentation will not preserve our pre-scientific conceptual architecture. ... Wilson locates the history of why we have adopted axiomatization as appropriate methodology for philosophy in the early twentieth century, particularly in Carnap. According to Wilson, Carnap enthusiastically promoted the notion that “any worthy scientific proposal can be fit within the single-leveled contours of a complete and fully axiomatized coverage” (149). And so Carnap comes out as the villain of the piece, but I think that is rather unfair. For, among other reasons, the axiomatic philosophical project might have worked—as Wilson himself says. It seems to me that rather than rejecting axiomatization altogether, the ways in which it failed show us that axiomatic methods must be complemented by a second form of investigation. Indeed, for Hilbert himself—who developed and championed the axiomatic method and applied it to physics (among other areas of theorizing) in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—it has a specific purpose. Hilbert’s method is an epistemological tool: it is a means of uncovering which aspects of a theory have been encoded into its very structure, and which we continue to add “by hand” from intuition (or experience). Viewed in this way—as a tool rather than an end in itself—Hilbert’s axiomatic method remains hugely important for scientific theorizing and for the investigation of scientific theories. With axiomatization thus understood, the first component of Wilson’s own picture allows for a pluralism of conceptual schemes that lack the universality allegedly dreamt of by Carnap, but where what is true remains relativized to a conceptual scheme (see chapter 9). It’s simply that each conceptual scheme is limited in scope. The second component of Wilson’s picture is the theorization of how we coordinate among those schemes so as to tie them together successfully. That is, we link them in such a way that we can navigate around in the world with a minimum of catastrophic failures. I wholeheartedly agree with Wilson that philosophically important things happen on the way to successful theories (including en route to an axiomatization), and in the interstices between them, whether this is in physics, other areas of science, or any area of analytic philosophy. I think the interstices are of enormous philosophical interest, for these are the spaces where our concepts fail and our familiar patterns of reasoning are as likely as not to lead us astray. If we are interested “merely” in axiomatized theories then we miss a great deal of what philosophy is for.

807: Kerry Pollock - Wireless Wizard

Kerry Pollock came into magic and comedy in a very interesting way. With a background in engineering, he developed a professional act as he created so many products that are now used by top professionals. He is the “go to guy” when magicians need something different and all original. He is also the creator of the game show “Bonk.” Kerry now owns and manages his own comedy club called “Comedy Magic Cabaret” in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Wow, is this week’s episode full! Kerry tells stories from his years of working at Houston’s Magic Island in the 1980’s when he created “Kate & Edith” to creating magical effects for Warren & Annabelle’s in Lahaina, Hawaii, to other electronic creations made for private homes (like Giovanni Livera and Bruce Averbook as well as magic celebrities like Mac King) to what he’s doing in his comedy club in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
