Overview
Initial predicted viewing figures were pretty much plucked out of thin air. For all the data’s spurious worth, the actual viewing pattern is reasonably consistent with the predicted one (although shallowing out towards the end). Initial analysis suggests that viewing figures have mostly been better than expected for an obscure, wordy academic blog. However, it is still only thriving as a specialist academic site and has not yet achieved sufficient exposure to attain an exponential function in the line curve.
Composers are currently dragging their feet (times are hard, and time is money I suppose) so the workshop element is in ‘development hell’. Taking advantage of this natural hiatus, I’ve started to link up with other public forums and potential funding generators…
Interest has been consistently piqued by Facebook tags and feeds into blog analyses of the Science/Religion ‘debate’ (mainly name-calling as far as I can see). Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris (and, to a lesser extent now, Christopher Hitchens) have all sown barren ground with fertile dragon's teeth here. The complete failure of the UK education system to train people to think, combined with both general ignorance of science and specialist incompetence in philosophy, suggests rich areas for exploitation.
One aspect of Marty Gull’s ‘impossible thesis’ is that the Arts are a natural referee between Science and Faith as we’re the ultimate ‘philosophy-in-action’. It’s a big claim, but the neo-positivists are making some pretty sweeping statements too.
Hopefully the politics will become so polarized that some craven government policy initiative will end up throwing money at ‘the dramatization of philosophy’ just to make the problem go away.
