…was talking about the AI rising and taking us all we were all disappear into its folds you know in 20 minutes. And Rupert Ralph stopped him and said: Terence that is a paranoid delusion there's no basis for reality in that and I'm just not gonna stand…
…in that and I'm just not gonna stand for it I'm not gonna even comment. And Rupert did the same and I had lunch with Ralph Earlier this year and I said what about this? He said yeah well Rupert and I tried to kind of put a boundary around Terence…
…definitely will be including speakers from other disciplines as well. But for today we're going to have one more experience: listening to Rupert Ralph and Terrence in what I assume was their final trial log. So today we're going to hear the last part of…
…delusion and behind that delusion then pogroms, programs of genocide arms races, sexism, racism all can operate very, very comfortably. Ralph Earlier mentioned love. Generally speaking, love is a boundary dissolving enterprise. So I think each of us the three…
…one regularly offered course of the university to enable students to learn science by doing research projects with psychic pets. Well Ralph the university is the last place where you would look for this. The university is the manufacturer of these cultural…
…afoot in this country behind which is the guiding genius of Ralph Abraham. So I think we should ask you this question, Ralph since you've more experience than most of us. Well I'd rather that people with less experience speak about it, because my…
…or Rio De janeiro or Houston, I think the contrast with the Netherlands is quite astonishing. Didn't mean to stop the show, Ralph You're not saying enough. Oh am I guilty then of too much self indulgence? No you've posed important problems. You've shown…

…fascinating universe seems worth the effort to me. So I've decided to play this along with the REST of the trilogue recordings that Ralph gave me and we'll just have to wait and see what comes from them in the months ahead. When I first listened to…
…from the same problem that I see with it. First of all, instrumentality, the grassroots science you called it 19th century Ralph. Grassroots science can be done with rather tangible problems but if you're interested in the neutrino output of the sun or…
…did some four years after this trial log was held. And it seems after listening to the give and take between Rupert Ralph and Terrence just now that maybe a good starting place would be for our community to continue to formulate scientific questions…
…perception of space time patterns in the abstract, that these skills are useful, can I add to that I mean I don't think what Ralph means is that it's a tragedy that most people can't factor a quadratic equation. I think he speaks as he does because he…
…he is so professionally immersed in these issues. As someone somewhat more distant from all of this, but in agreement from Ralph, the failure to teach mathematics in practical, social and political terms boils down to a failure to teach logic and…
…think it's just any of those things I think it's all of it and we are definitely in some kind of an evolutionary snap as Ralph just now called it or, as is equally possible I may be just trying to make our present age have more meaning than it…
…it a pivotal age? It will at least be pivotal for you and me. But keep in mind even though we may be at what Ralph calls a hinge in history we still have to do something to swing that hinge in the direction we think it should go, whatever that…
