New York Times' writer, Tom Wicker, dies ... he covered the 1960s, student movements, civil rights, and the fall of U.S. presidents, in remarkable ways ... was moved by his 1975 book "A Time to Die" about the prison uprising in Attica, NY ... "Speaking at a 1971 “teach-in” at Harvard, he urged students to “engage in civil disobedience” in protesting the war in Vietnam. “We got one president out,” he told the cheering crowd, “and perhaps we can do it again.” " (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/26/us/tom-wicker-journalist-and-author-dies-at-85.html)

Badrinath Waters: Is culture a process - evolutionarily - of group inference around Identity, Modernity, Language, Counterculture, - Yoga Conference

Scott: Is culture a process - , evolutionarily - of group inference around tradition, ethnicity, subculture, and identity (some main concepts in anthropology which are sometimes juxtaposed with modernity, nation states and globalization, as well as the Network Society), where language is a key modality informing such inference? (Are each of these expressions of troopbonding, that is bonding together in groups, evolutionarily - John Money [1988]?) What anthropology papers explicitly address this?


Hippie friend online: No


Scott: ... neither in counterculture nor Hinduism, as well, where questions of agency (orangutans as an example of primate agency) become very involved - when I am that you are ... om tat sat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om_Tat_Sat:) ... profound empathy/sympathy makes for wild relatedness - don't know of any related anthropological papers, though.

The yoga conference in the Regency Hyatt in San Francisco, which I passed through today, had a lot of yoga products ...

Yogis today in the Bay Area are entrepreneurial!

And, unfortunately, I didn't see Angela and Victor at this conference ...

Bird of Paradise: Relaxation Response, Music, 'Flow' in a City

Practicing a musical instrument can offer somehow richer and more immediate access to "flow: the psychology of optimal experience" experiences, than not. Let's go 'there' now. {Omega-3 fatty acids (1000 mg, 3-4 times per day from flax seed oil, for example) can help}.

While Harbin also more gives rise to "flow: the psychology of optimal experience" experiences in the aggregate, than almost any place I know, Harbin's pools, beauty, easy sense of time and freeing, as well as communal sociality, aren't readily available in a city. So dancing-in-mind, while creating sound patterns - practicing, especially when this information-technology-for-flow is fluent, lyrical and rhythmic {what is optimal here for you, in ongoing ways, - and profoundly so?} - offers avenues for exploring 'flow,' and sometimes bliss. And when the relaxation response in a beautiful, communal, warm pool isn't readily available, one can come inwardly, exploring the relaxation response, for example, quite richly in a city (shaped by Modernity). I find this has beneficial consequences in other aspects of life, as well. I'm not sure how this works neurophysiologically, but I think it has something to do with integrating the biology of one's bodymind through easing, with related social benefits vis-a-vis empathy.

How might I or we learn how to develop this in a virtual University? And how would a virtual Harbin help facilitate this (for example, building on an extraordinary performance, audio or video recording, of Mozart's "Magic Flute," and also making it interactive in innovative, ongoing ways)?

What is the anthropology of this? And of practicing a musical instrument to elicit far-reaching flow experiences? And vis-a-vis brain research?
