An interesting lecture... As a graduated Johnnie who dabbles in tech, I would like to say that there are many ways Dan Harrell may have misunderstood the nature of technology. Indeed one can think of technology as concealment as Heidegger did, but now I would say the nature of technology has changed. I would say abstraction is far better than concealment. For example, I write a script in Python to do a task. This script is interpreted and machine language is passed to the computer. This code can work on any operating system since Python code is not compiled like C. Technology stands on the shoulder of giants to abstract processes so we can be more creative. While Frege and other authors did establish computability (and indeed a computer essentially functions on these ideas), I do think we should also focus on hardware. The development of the transistor and overall the field of VLSI has revolutionized technology. Anyone who has taken digital logic 101 will know that the hardware is performing logical operations using the principles of chemistry and physics. And thus the computer serves as a paradigm of true abstract thinking and logic. We do not study logic per se at the college, which perhaps may explain why Johnnies are not immediately fascinated by things like decoders, multiplexers, and registers. His comments on ChatGpt are also off, I think. ChatGpt does not think. A LLM uses an algorithm that works on simple principles (pretty much backpropagation), but no one understands how the large models work as a whole. In addition, generative AI has been shown to become more and more unoriginal as it is trained. There are many inherent problems with AI currently that it seems highly improbable that AI can actually think for us. It is ultimately our attribution of thinking that makes it so, i.e. the ghost in the machine. Right now technology could use Johnnies. Divergent and critical ways of thinking are necessary. AI has devolved into a bunch of people who do not think deeply about what they are doing. They think only about accuracy, loss, objective functions, and precision. They miss the forest for the trees. Moreover technology is deeply aesthetic. One need only read Manfred Clynes book on Sentics or Rosalind Picard's Affective Computing to see the beginnings of profound technological creation. Technology provides a new perspective in which one can immerse themself in the liberal arts. We can even illuminate our study of Faraday by building circuits on perfboard and observing the flow of electrons. Fascinating stuff! I myself was enchanted by the beauty of the full wave rectifier and how its simple principles allowed us to deliver and use electricity more effectively. I hope more Johnnies go into tech! Cheers!

Exceptional. I have an old St John's Catalog which I cherish. Indeed, it felt quite different. Thank you for acknowledging the changes, trying to sort out the implications, and adhering to the core. Classical literature and themes have always had a habit of holding great social weight at some times, while in other times (Dark Ages, conquering foes) they fall into disregard. However, they will always prevail because of their resonance with the human experience. Please stand firm through this possible Dark Age.

Eliot is a poet. Eliot is British, more than American. Scrutiny of his language this way is just cynical. Eliot hated cynics.

Thank you. An example of nostalgia as a modern phenomenon might be the way museums acquired fragmented works of ancient culture. The recognition of the traditional forms of sculpture as works of importance, was transformed to a new aesthetic--that of the fragment. It might be that the fragment represented the possibility of the self. Perhaps the Romanticism of the 19th century moment harkened back to Petrarch, the incomplete self in search of the whole. I appreciate your excellent lecture, thank you again.

Thanks for such a good insights about "grand lie" and its relationship with Kallipolis. I enjoyed it very much. I wish to see the debate too. But if I were there, I would like to ask Leo Strauss's comment about "Republic" as comedy? I think Kambo's interpretation reading Republic as tragedy, also Apology contends with his reading?

I am an architect but lived as an artist solely for about 15 years. I did not use the gallery system but sold very directly to the public through art and craft markets and retail outlets, it was. very commercial. I aspired to make beautiful art and found the direct correlation between what sold and whether I thought it was beautiful or not. It is not an absolute but generally we all share the common idea of beauty.

Thank you for posting this lecture, which I've only just discovered. Scruton developed great insights into why modernity has not created a built environment worthy of its citizens. I agree with the judgment he expresses at the very end of the questions where he states that Wittgenstein would be in complete agreement with the views expressed in this talk.
