Endosymbiosis is a relationship where one organism, the endosymbiont, lives inside another organism, the host. The word comes from the Greek words endo meaning "within" and symbios meaning "living together".


Examples


  • Mitochondria: These organelles evolved from endosymbiosis over 1.45 billion years ago.
  • Chloroplasts: These organelles in plants evolved from endosymbiosis.
  • Nitrogen rhizobia–legume association: An example of endosymbiosis in nature.
  • Some coral–dinoflagellate symbioses: An example of endosymbiosis in nature.
  • Tubeworms and chemosynthetic bacteria: An example of endosymbiosis in nature.
Benefits
  • Endosymbiosis can be mutually beneficial for both organisms.
  • Endosymbiosis has been a major factor in the evolution of biological complexity and diversity.

  • Endosymbiosis has led to the evolution of eukaryotic organelles like mitochondria and plastids.

Challenges


  • It can be difficult to see the benefits for both organisms.
  • Endosymbioses can sometimes seem one-sided.
  • Endosymbioses can break down under certain circumstances.

The debate (which is no less than the contestation of poetry with philosophy) is more explicitly worked out in another poem from The White Stones, Chemin de Fer, where the ‘iron rails’ suggest Weber’s ‘iron cage’ of rationality, but also the totalising power of reason itself when struck down from its endosymbiosis with the body and diverted along a branch line, down a route familiar to readers of Adorno, leading to the concentration camp and ‘the machine gun in a Polish scenario’.

I was reading a bit of this today, but I struggle cos I don't know anything about Hegel, Adorno, Heidegger etc. It's quite heavy on the philosophy jargon.

Gonna continue this afternoon though.

In sociology, the iron cage is a concept introduced by Max Weber to describe the increased rationalization inherent in social life, particularly in Western capitalist societies. The "iron cage" thus traps individuals in systems based purely on teleological efficiency, rational calculation and control.

Sorry, but this evening I read News of Warring Clans instead of this. Good poem for the era we're in now I think.

Since in an outraged moral system the lying report,
subject to efficient causes, is bound fast
to a truth mostly formal, the efforts
at mendacious gab exceeded all limits. Good taste was shunted into the slogan vestry and
reconstructed as billboard nostalgia: the purest
central dogma in the history of trash.

I read Bertrand Russell's history of western philosophy a couple of years back and loved it, then promptly forgot eveverything.
Ha, same, although it was more like 25 years ago.

The two bits that stick in my mind are an apparently very important event in the history of the early church called the Miracle of the Mended Sieve, and that Frances Bacon died from pneumonia that he caught from stuffing a chicken with snow in a pioneering experiment on using low temperatures to preserve food.

Ontophany is a phenomenological concept that describes the relationship between perception and techniques, and how it changes over time. It can also refer to the new way of perceiving the world that results from these changes.



Explanation
  • Digital ontophany
    A specific type of ontophany that describes how digital technologies change how people perceive the world. Digital ontophany can alter people's ideas of what's possible, and how they experience the world.
  • Ontophany theory
    A theory that describes how historical and cultural factors shape the relationship between perception and techniques.

  • Ontophany shifts
    Changes in the way people perceive the world caused by technologies. These shifts can change people's ideas of what's possible.

Examples
  • Digital artifacts
    Digital artifacts can modify people's perceptive habits, creating a new ontophanic milieu.
  • Screens
    Screens can compel people toward their own perceptual and bodily orientations

The painter having undergone this experience in all its edifying absurdity reveals art as a technique of suffering and defiant survival, whose representative figure is Odysseus
Artist enacts the monomyth. Journeys beyond the walled garden into the wilderness. Literal wilderness, shamanic psychic wilderness. Sees wonders uncharted. Goes back home with a map.

the short-circuit between lyric and epic which Eliot’s poem instated (with some assistance from the mass slaughters of 1914–18) seemed to imply that from henceforth the hermeneutic circle of part and whole had resolved itself into a more navigable psychologism of symptom and diagnosis (with Hamlet installed as reigning emblem of ironical sequestration, the downcast king reappointed as monarch in disguise etc.). Pound was only too happy to apply himself to the task of diagnosis, but the numinous transformations of The Cantos leave the problem of totality, in all its now unfashionable implications, quite unresolved. And by the time that Prynne came into his mature voice, the epic ambition itself was itself unravelling, circa 1970, into the full irony of a ‘post-imperial outlook’, which is to say the commencement of high-force telematic brokerage and global commodification of knowledge by the media and their nominees within the universities.
I think I half understand this. Lyricism as something personal and fragmentary and expressive? Epic as gods eye systematic? But I'm not sure. I didnt understand anything that came before it. After the bit about Turner
