«L’ecologia della mente» scrive Bateson in apertura di questo volume, che contiene i suoi più importanti scritti teorici, «è una scienza che ancora non esiste come corpus organico di teoria o conoscenza». Ma questa scienza in formazione è nondimeno essenziale.

Two types of human systems
When looking for similar feedback loops in human interactions, Bateson saw that they didn’t always exist, or operate in the way they should. As a result, he recognized that there were two kinds of systems: ones that relied on feedback to create stability, and others that tended to escalate and create runaway trends.
~ Ted Gioia, from Why Gregory Bateson Mattersslip:4uhopy1.
I will admit this is the first I’ve ever heard of Bateson, and based on Gioia’s article, I seriously considered buying his Steps to an Ecology of Mind. I definitely recommend reading Gioia’s article.

"…in the aftermath of WWI, as technologies like the radio and automobile began to take hold, #MargarethMead and her husband #GregoryBateson began to formulate a vision for utopia that relied upon plant-based #psychedelics.
"They saw science as responsible for some of the bad things in the world, but also [as] something which could be a tool for fixing the world or healing a sick society."

At long last, a beautiful new edition of Gregory Bateson's 1991 book, A Sacred Unity: Further Steps to an Ecology of Mind, is available in paperback, e-book and PDF versions. This edition, published by the stellar Triarchy Press and facilitated by Bateson Idea Group, features a new introduction by Nora Bateson and Stephen Nachmanovitch.
Highly recommended.

@james #GregoryBateson wrote about this in a lot of different ways as "the sacred," aesthetic sensibility, the pattern which connects, grace, abductive process, etc. ("The Pattern Which Connects", his books Mind and Nature and Angels Fear, "The Moral and Aesthetic Structure of Human Adaptation", "Cultural Relativity and Belief Systems", "Style, Grace, and Information in Primitive Art", among many others).
Andreas Weber wrote a whole book about it: Matter & Desire: An Erotic Ecology.

@marcovalente I'm increasingly very suspicious and doubtful about the concept of leverage points in self-organizing dynamical systems. Natural and social systems are stochastic, not mechanical, and thus there's an economy of flexibility (see G. Bateson) that risks being manipulated and threatened when we meddle. We can hardly foresee 1st-order consequences of our actions, to say nothing about 2nd- or nth-order consequences that leverage points attempt to manipulate or catalyze. #GregoryBateson

Mary Catherine Bateson Dies at 81; Anthropologist on Lives of Women
Mary Catherine Bateson, a cultural anthropologist who was the author of quietly groundbreaking books on women’s lives — and who as the only child of Margaret Mead had once been one of the most famous babies in America — died on Jan. 2 in Lebanon, N.H. She was 81.
Her husband, J. Barkev Kassarjian, confirmed the death, at a hospice facility. He did not specify the cause but said she had suffered a fall earlier that week and experienced brain damage.
Dr. Bateson’s parents, Dr. Mead and Gregory Bateson, an Englishman, were celebrated anthropologists who fell in love in New Guinea while both were studying the cultures there. (Dr. Mead was married to someone else at the time.) They treated their daughter’s arrival almost as more field work, documenting her birth on film — not a typical practice in 1939 — and continuing to record her early childhood with the intention of using the footage not just as home movies but also as educational material. (Dr. Bateson’s first memory of her father was with a Leica camera hanging from his neck.) ...
