MT "Music creates new, subtler, more complicated, and therefore more dangerous pleasures…

brainpickings.org/2017/07/03/kaf…
...But poetry aims at clarifying the wilderness of pleasures, at intellectualizing, purifying, and therefore humanizing them. Music is a multiplication of sensuous life; poetry, on the other hand, disciplines and elevates it.
...
...
And yet Kafka is swift to recuse himself of authority on music:

Music for me is rather like the sea… I am overpowered, wonderstruck, enthralled, and yet afraid, so terribly afraid of its endlessness. I am in fact a bad sailor."

"Social Distancing

There is one very simple thing that we can do and that works: social distancing"

"How Can Politicians Contribute to Social Distancing?"

"Mitigation

Mitigation requires heavy social distancing. People need to stop hanging out to drop the...
...transmission rate (R), from the R=~2–3 that the virus follows without measures, to below 1, so that it eventually dies out.

These measures require closing companies, shops, mass transit, schools, enforcing lockdowns… The worse your situation, the worse the social distancing
. The earlier you impose heavy measures, the less time you need to keep them, the easier it is to identify brewing cases, and the fewer people get infected.

Dear @Ruth4Rushcliffe

I am a local resident who, if you are successful in this election, will become one of your constituents. I write about the televised climate and nature election debate - due to be screened on @Channel4 at 7pm on 28th November - to express my concern that
the Prime Minister is refusing to take part in this debate, and to ask you to contact him to urge him to do so.

"“We can see there is a difference and it’s substantial,” Roberts said.

At 1.5C the proportion of the global population exposed to water stress could be 50% lower than at 2C, it notes. Food scarcity would be less of a problem and hundreds of millions fewer people, particularly..
... in poor countries, would be at risk of climate-related poverty.

At 2C extremely hot days, such as those experienced in the northern hemisphere this summer, would become more severe and common, increasing heat-related deaths and causing more forest fires."
