Student: (…In the electronic universe, every living thing is connected to every other, everything is connected, by a law or theorem..)
AG: Yeah, ok , well, but not.. because they’re connected.. Okay, but, so..a sharp cry would precipitate a shock(ed) brainwave..
Student: (..every atom (would)…)
AG: Well, first of all, you said it – every atom.. Well, at least, every atom bumps into every other atom, sooner or later..
Student: Instantaneously.
AG: Instantaneously.
AG: Does it really happen that way?
Student: ((Within) a fair amount of (time and space))
AG: That’s pretty vast! – You’re sure.. you’re sure you mean, actually – not by telepathy, or something?
Student: Bell’s Theorem.
AG: Bell’s Theorem.
Student: Bell’s Theorem.
AG; Bell’s Theorem. What is that? What is it?
Student: Well, I don’t know exactly but ..
AG: Does anybody know that? Bell’s Theorem..It’s interesting..
Student: They did an experiment with yoghurt (sic) on Times Square. Some guy.. (experimenting with) a lie-detector.
Student 2 : Cleve Backster
Student (to Student 2): You know about it?
Student: (Yes)
AG: Well, (but) I would like to stick to some sort of literal (model), rather than telepathy or something.
Student: It’s not about telepathy…
AG: Okay (then). Go on.
Student; (Well, it’s like she said), the yoghurt that stood in the metal containers knows (knew) when it was getting fed How about that ?
AG: (William) Blake is simpler –“A dog starv’d at his Masters Gate/Predicts the ruin of the state” – that the cruelty that would literally starve the dog, the cruel.. the quality of emotion that would starve the dog, would be a quality, if prevalent in the state, (that) would ruin the state, (obviously). I mean, it’s something that doesn’t need that kind of mysticum so to speak. It’s more simple . The nice thing about these are these are more simple.
“A Skylark wounded in the wing /A Cherubim does cease to sing”
