(If Lennon’s distancing from the band was influenced by his desire to explore other pursuits, including his personal and creative relationship with Ono, that was his choice.) But she got involved. In the documentary, McCartney politely complains that his songwriting with Lennon is disrupted by Ono’s omnipresence. ![]() For her part, she was vigilant in order to escape the typical role of the artist woman. In a 1997 interview, she commented on the status of women in rock in the 1960s: “My first impression was that they were all wives and kind of sat in the next room while the boys talked,” she said. “I was scared to be something like that.” She later dedicated her spiked song “Potbelly Rocker” from 1973 to the “women of nameless rockers”. In her text project “Grapefruit” from 1964, a kind of recipe book for staging art experiences, she instructs her audience “not to look at Rock Hudson, but only at Doris Day”, and in “The Beatles: Get Back” she directs them Eye away from the band and yourself. ![]() ![]() Their image is in contrast to that of other Beatles partners – model white women in chic outfits who occasionally rush in with kisses, nod encouragingly and slip away inconspicuously. It’s a reference to a bias, we often have: “survivorship bias”.Linda Eastman, McCartney’s future wife, lingers a little longer, circulates and photographs the band. This is where the data or observation you see are not representative because some elements have been eliminated before you see the sample. This is a problem in looking at the current sample of investors and fund managers. All the bad ones went bankrupt, left investing and so you are only looking at the survivors. The picture which represents a WW2 plane is a better story. What parts of the plane do you prioritize for armor? But you can't armor the whole plane (for weight among other reasons). The naive answer is: where the holes were found.Īt this point, an astute observer, or one who cross-checks data with intuition, might notice that this does not include the engines or cockpit, which seem like pretty sensitive parts of the plane-more so than, say, the wingtips. That’s because those planes never made it back home… In this case, not only is the sample not representative, it's *inversely* correlated with what we want to put armour (which a sense of the physics of a plane would also get you). The diagram doesn't show where planes get shot-it shows where planes get shot and still survive. While the story has been exaggerated by the internet, this is work that a researcher Wald did do in 1943. During the war, Wald was part of the Statistical Research Group of Columbia University. While there, the military would consult with the group for various questions, and Wald wound up with the question about developing a way to estimate plane vulnerability based on the damage observed on returning planes. Long Now are interested in long-termism across all areas (link here). Around San Francisco this tends to centre around progress studies (and innovation) and effective altruism, also existential risk, but the concept is wider than that. I was introduced to the idea of archipelagos as conceived by the philosopher Édouard Glissant. ![]() I think the idea of the archipelago - as a place where we can begin to understand and resolve the contradictions of the world - should be propagated. The archipelagos of the Mediterranean must encounter the archipelagos of Asia and the archipelagos of the Antilles. ![]()
