The Speed of Thought

Filed under: General — Tags: — m759 @ 4:18 am

"As if an apparently meaningless frame of reference,
traveling at the speed of thought, suddenly became relevant…."

— Stephen Rachman, "Lost in Translation"

Oppenheimer… Evan, not Robert

Filed under: General — Tags: , , , — m759 @ 9:32 pm
 

From an Evan Oppenheimer 2011 film script,

"The Speed of Thought."

https://www.scripts.com/script.php?id=the_speed_of_thought_18645&p=3

. . . .

Do not worry, it's an easy technique.

Okay.

Right. Look at your feet.
Now, focus on them. See them well.
Put light on them.
Now go up through your body
and keep the focus.

Now is better.

If we open ourselves to each other,
things will get easier.

What is this?

It's something we do very much.
Knock down our walls
and we merge in our heads.
We learned everything about each other.

Everything?

It may be that we do not like
long after that…
but at least
we'll understand.

And then there is the Quick and Dirty method . . .

The Speed of Thought

"I love  Quicksilver. I've been using it since nearly the beginning,
and I cannot live without it…. I just type, and things happen,
pretty much at the speed of thought."

Mac user, April 22, 2011

The Speed of Inference

See this journal on the above date— April 22, 2011:
Romancing the Hyperspace —and, more generally,
all April 2011 references to romancing .

See also a contributor to Edge.org:

"Sciences can move at the speed of inference
when individuals only need to consider logic and evidence.
Yet sciences move glacially (Planck's 'funeral by funeral')
when the typical scientist, dependent for employment
on a dense ingroup network, has to get the majority of her
guild to acknowledge fundamental, embarrassing
disciplinary errors."

The reference in yesterday morning's post "The Speed of Thought"
to an art critic's webpage on what she calls "psychic art"
suggests an illustration of another sort of psychic art, from
the oeuvre  of the late film director Don Sharp
