If it is from the very hand of AK, I hope this precious object is now kept in a golden reliquary protected night and day!


Thanks for your explanation anyway , I read that they "explanations llighten the mind" (light > less heavy) — I remember that vaguely somewhere probably in the "World of Null-A" book.

Yes, Luc, you can relax--it is a structural differential behind me in that pic--in fact, I think it is Korzybski's original handmade SD, which currently resides at Read House along with many other artifacts from his life. The picture was taken during the 2006 summer seminar at Read House in Fort Worth--a wonderful time with a great group.

Hello!


Well made, punchy and catchy (energetic). I recognized Nora there and I am still wondering what kind of object was behind her. If somebody remembers - tell me ; so that I can stop my procrastinating.

More seriously, I saw moving images of Korzybski in it but he was only saying that "he got something to do" and then he left... ;-)
Does anybody know web resources showing him speaking or demonstrating? I realize I didn't look in the time-binding site. Shame on me. I just saw that there is a 2mn50 available. It does not seem a lot to me in opposition to the never ending length of videos one can find nowadays (on the net especially) — does it ?


Thanks,
Luc.
