MORE FUN?

We have grown from Natural Selection
by a process of Self-Erection
to grope towards Humane Election.
To avoid Naked-Ape Extinction,
do we need Common Conviction
of our fact, faction and fiction?
Or can we cultivate
a careful & evolving state
of faith, hope and charity,
to leave to posterity?
(DRH, Nov. 1999) 


Or Some (more) verse or worse: (you will need a pdf reader to see these!)

Where do I stand on the Countryside Alliance? The C'sides of March; or some thoughts on the legacy of the Thatcher Years: O'dear to Mrs. T; or just some memories of English summers - Fare thee well, the Honourable Arlott.

Or, rather deeper (says who?) on the possible meaning of it all: Machinic Evolution, where I am still searching, probably pointlessly, for a better word to enshrine systematic, systemic, organic and chaotic in one.

Those who want to see where this stuff fits might care to look at KNOSSOS - the Centre for Research in Knowledge Science and Society here at Newcastle - At last, we have re-created our ill-fated Philosophy Department - shut in error a few years ago. I consider that when one shuts the philosophy department, the lights go out. Maybe we can turn the lights back on now. But perhaps we won't like what we see ourselves doing.
