No tendremos una sociedad si destruimos el medio ambiente.

2 quotes sustain me during these dark times. And then I get to work. #JoanBaez #MargaretMead #Climate #abpoli #cdnpoli

"There is great advantage in moving fast if you move completely, if social, educational, and recreational changes keep pace. You must change the whole pattern at once."

—Margaret Mead, 1954

As the holiday season approaches, many adults face a familiar question: How do we navigate the Santa Clause tradition without compromising honesty or wonder? 🎅✨

The ASC's 60th anniversary meeting has ended, leaving lasting memories. With over 80 meaningful conversations, it was a significant success.

I'm grateful for everyone's contributions and honored to receive a 2024 Margaret Mead Prize. It is likewise exciting to see awards go to admired colleagues. This year's awards showcase cybernetics' evolving relevance across diverse fields—from technology and neuroscience to management and the arts.

Margaret Mead, On Civilization

“Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture.

The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.

But no…”

Del vincere e del perdere, dalla parte degli Hopi

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.) ...
