Oliver Sacks Archive Heads to the New York Public Library by [[Jennifer Schuessler]]

The voluminous papers of the celebrated neurologist include letters, notebooks, drafts and other traces of a man who couldn’t stop writing.

You have to love the boos, notebooks, papers, fountain pen, typewriter, computer, printer, and even writing software all pictured in this... Add the glasses and it just reeks of someone who reads and writes.

quote from Kate Edgar, Sacks' assistant and editor

Bei der Climate Week New York haben John Kerry und Al Gore scharf kritisiert, dass die USA, die großen Ölfirmen und viele andere Staaten weiter fossil expandieren, und dass die in der Schlusserklärung der COP28 erklärte Bereitschaft zum Ausstieg aus den Fossilen für die COP29 keine Rolle spielt. Philip Davis, der Premierminister der Bahamas, machte vor allem die Öl- und Gaslizenzen der USA und Großbritanniens für die Wirkungslosigkeit des COP28-Abkommens verantwortlich. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/23/new-york-climate-week-al-gore-john-kerry-condemn-fossil-fuels

Oliver constantly positions himself differently, and is what sets Elio off edge, because Elio wants to see Oliver as one.

Oliver contradictions

BECAUSE HE HIMSELF IS CONTRADICTORY!

very clear contradictions in Oliver here.

Elio's comment on the use of words to express oneself, on defining (unnecessarily) identity that confound and bring oneself FURTHER from truth, than if he stayed silent and speechless, through which more could be conveyed than with any fancy expressions said verbally

His "If not later, when?" offends Elio because it hints at his looking for a better moment to speak (to speak or to die) and their continuous delaying of approaching the matter at hand by speaking, maybe because speaking will change something between them, because speaking means something.

In this case, Oliver himself is picking at his own scab, as he always says "Later!" Him saying this to Elio is ironic because the two of them are both delaying admitting their true feeling and Oliver is telling Elio to hurry up and confront him, even when all signs say he doesn't want to.

Perhaps this goes to show how he sees Oliver as himself. Thus proving his hypothesis on the "Twisted Skein of Desire" where to be and to have are the same things, but on opposite sides of the river.

And his insecurity blooming from not knowing who Oliver is when he's gone reflects his insecurity in not fully defining himself. It shows his immaturity and instability

To know everything there is to know about oneself (the food) because he does not adopt the non-paradoxical constraints that one uses to define identity. He defies expectations of knowing so much about foods, cheeses and wines -- more than the Italians who have been doing this forever, because he does not stick to custom, to traditional views of identity.

Show of his maturity by being called "royalty" because of his extensive knowledge that came from experimentation and not limiting oneself to a standard view of identity

Explicit evidence that his colour theory never worked. Oliver cannot be condensed

When the apricots represent Oliver's deepest and most hidden fragments of identity, and Oliver "trying to learn all he could about Anchise's grafts" shows his determination in understanding his contradictory bits of himself, that don't meet his confident, tan caubois mannerisms. Furthermore, the apricots were "larger, fleshier, jucier than most apricots in the region". Indicating his understanding of his identity allowed him to mature into such a beautiful fruit.

The skin motif comes up once again, where he appreciates and obsesses over the parts of Oliver that haven't been exposed, that haven't been shown, the multi-dimensionality of Oliver (?). Specifically, he fantasises about biting into the apricot, which he compares to Oliver's ass. This connects a desire for intimacy and a selfish (?) knowledge of the other regarding the dimensions of their identity. "Apricate" is to sunbathe.

Motif of skin introduced in CMBYN, where Oliver's duality of skin, tanned, and pink and untouched represents the multidimensionality of identity, and the contradictions that exist within him -- which is what fascinates Elio. The coexistence of both contradictions in such a beautiful, whole, masterpiece who has affinities leaping out of him is enlightening for Elio. Elio may see Oliver as an Elio who he wishes to mature into.

Does this foreshadow the duality and complexity of their relationship? Because there is a period of time when Elio is in an internal conflict with his desire and lack of desire for Oliver.

Can this characterise Oliver as someone who doesn't believe in the constructed identities of individuals, seeing as he says to all, "Later!" without naming? Or characterise him as someone who has no respect for societal obligations and is simply true to himself in such way?

Ein Report zum Stand der Dinge bei der Entfernung von CO2 aus der Atmosphäre (CO2 Removal) ist in der zweiten Version erschienen. Insgesamt ist die CO2-Menge, die mit anderen Mitteln als der Wiederaufforstung im Pflanzen von Bäumen aus der Atmosphäre entfernt wird, extrem gering. Der Bericht kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Pariser Klimaziele ohne CDR unerreichbar sein werden, dass aber CDR ohne deutlich mehr Investitionen und eine schnelle Verringerung von Treibhausgasemissionen wirkungslos bleiben wird. https://www.derstandard.de/story/3000000222642/treibhausgase-aus-der-atmosphaere-saugen-wo-wir-bei-der-co2-entnahme-stehen

The Guardian: Donald Trump hat Big-Oil Managern angeboten, klimapolitische Maßnahmen der Biden-Administration rückgängig zu machen, wenn sie seinen Wahlkampf mit einer Milliarde Dollar unterstützen. Einer Studie des Guardian zufolge können die Ölkonzerne von Trump vor allem 110 Milliaren Dollar Subventionen (u.a. Steuererleichterungen für neue fossile Projekte) erwarten, die die Biden-Regierung abschaffen will.

He is giving himself to Elio much like he partook in enjoying himself via. the Apricot juice, because perhaps he sees himself in Elio, and thus can share himself with the other?

He just downed a glass of his own fluid, and enjoyed it... Does this mean love and sexual desire is a desire targeted at loving oneself?

Apricots are compared to "blushing with shame, shame comes with age" and then directly referenced to Oliver's butt. Clearly representing Oliver with age and reference to his butt, so it characterizes Oliver as two things; shameful, and "premature" and "ripen early", which is ironic considering his age -- what does this say about youth, identity, and contradictions?

This is exactly what Elio lacks and tries to find in himself, a holistic idea of who he is and when Oliver demonstrates his many contradictions with yet the fact that he "knows himself", it intimidates and spins Elio's worldview.

New revelation that there is more to the gruffness of Oliver as one has thought. At the same time, gruffness and timidity coexist harmoniously in this Muvi Star

Juxtaposition with the fear of expressing one's identity (Elio) and the carefree nature of Oliver, who is honest about his body whereas Elio feels shameful with the honesty of his body's expression of identity.

Evidence that religion, sexuality, and all the shallow ideas of romance is not enough to define their relationship -- it is their similar intuition, and his amazing gift for reading people. Also.. this is like Sammy!!!

Example of Oliver holding contradictions, and Elio's noticing of this, because Elio loves his multidimensionality

He was OK with the paradox. It signifies he could accept himself, too, in all his discontinuity and multidimensionality

Die wirtschaftlichen Schäden durch die globale Erhitzung sind sechsmal größer als bisher angenommen und vergleichbar mit denen eines andauernden Kriegs. Ein Prozent Temperaturanstieg verringert einem – noch nicht peer-reviewten – Arbeitspapier des amerikanischen National Bureau of Economic Research zufolge das weltweite Bruttosozialprodukt um 12%. Ein Temperaturanstieg bis 2100 um 3° wird Kapital und Verbrauch im Vergleich zu einer Welt ohne Erhitzung um 50% senken. Ohne die bisherige globale Erhitzung wäre die die weltweite Kaufkraft schon jetzt 37% höher. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/17/economic-damage-climate-change-report

Neuer Bericht des Global Energy Monitor zur fossilen Expansion. 45 Öl- und Gasprojekte sind vollständig in Gang gesetzt worden seit die IEA 2021 festgestellt hat, dass weitere Öl- und Gasprojekte die Einhaltung des 1,5°-Ziels unmöglich machen. Sie werden zu 16 Milliarden Barrel Öl-Äquivalent Förderung führen. Bis 2030 will die Ölindustrie die Förederung aus insgesamt 64 neuentdeckten Lagern auf 31 Mrd, Barrel steigern. Die USA ist bei der Entwicklung führend, gefolgt von Guyana. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/mar/28/oil-and-gas-fossil-fuels-report

Oliver wrote a book on Heraclitus, the main connector between his ideology, characterization, and the theory of universal flux, that one may not necessarily be one's past temporal part -- but one who continues it, like an illusion of movement.

An assumption, like many others (such as the bathing suit situation) about Oliver's identity that is quickly refuted, because identities never make sense. A person as a whole cannot be summarized in rules or statements or if.. then.. conditions.

Die Konzentration der drei wichtigsten Treibhausgase CO₂, Methan und NO₂ hat 2023 neue Rekordwerte erreicht. Die Daten der amerikanischen NOAA zeigen, dass sich der Anstieg im Durchschnitt der letzten Jahre nicht verlangsamt hat, auch wenn er in manchen Vorjahren noch steiler verlief. Die CO₂-Konzentation liegt 50% höher als in der vorindustriellen Zeit und entspricht der vor 4 Millionen Jahren. Die Atmosphäre enthält 160% mehr Methan als vor der Industrialisierung. Außer dem Verbrennen von Kohle, Öl und Gas ist die industrielle Landwirtschaft Hauptursache der Treibhausgas-Konzentration. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/06/record-highs-heat-trapping-gases-climate-crisis

Durch den Inflation reduction Act sind in den USA die Investitionen in emissionsarme Technologien auf 240 Milliarden Dollar gestiegen, wären sie in Europa -allerdings auf höherem niveau-stagnieren. Durch den Inflation reduction Act wird auch internationales Kapital in die USA gezogen. Besonders viele Investitionen fließen in die Elektromobilität, darunter in elektrische SUVs. Das Handelsblatt hat eine Studie zur Wirkung von Subventionen in der Klimapolitik in den USA und Europa beauftragt.

Guter Überblick über das Lobbying-Netzwerk der deutschen Gasindustrie. Der Verbraucht an Erdgas hat sich in Deutschland seit 1990 verdoppelt, obwohl Erdgas insgesamt etwa so viel Emissionen verursacht wie Kohle. Die LNG-Infrastruktur, die die deutsche Bundesregierung gerade aufbaut, ist auf um ein Drittel höhere Kapazitäten angelegt, als aus Russland importiert wurden. https://taz.de/Fossile-Politik/!5983492/

Glad I figured this new bit of tech out. I figure AI will be much the same. Another tool we have to learn to work with. Or we don't, and accept that we'll be less capable than those who learn how to use it effectively.

I cannot say exactly how nature exerts its calming and organizing effects on our brains, but I have seen in my patients the restorative and healing powers of nature and gardens, even for those who are deeply disabled neurologically. In many cases, gardens and nature are more powerful than any medication.

If gardens and potentially tending gardens is restorative, how might we create user interfaces that are calm and gentle enough to make tending one's digital garden a healthful and restorative process for our psyches?
