@ Virtual Ethnology

- Born between the 30s and the 40s, Cyber- or Virtual Ethnology, focus on the use of software to build digital copies of archological findings as primary methodology to the study of cultural diversity. - In the early days, this discipline was following an opposite direction based on the application of cybernetic methodologies, in particular, through the use of feedback loops and other mechanisms of self-recurrence to understand certain aspect of specific cultures. The technological value of the early Virtual Ethnology, instead of being a mere support and storage medium of manufactures and evidences, it was ment to light up the darkness in certain kind of rituals of proto-historical tribes that were understood as linguistic enginees employing complex self-referential mechanisms to assure the production of meaning over generations.

Influenced by the advent of anthropology and sociology and the works of James George Frazer (1980), Sigmunfd Freud (1913), and Marcel Mauss (1925), focusing on rituals and mythological structures, researchers in different disciplines started to observ how these accounts were liable of using subtle systems of control and communication that will be effectively defined only later during the 40s with the birth of Cybernetics. However, fostered by the introduction of pseudo-scientific and occultists reasearches, such as Echidna stillwell's work on Mu's folklore, and the opposition of classical institutions interested in preserving their credibility, will lead to a rupture in the discipline and the formation of the normalized contemporary approach during the end of the 70s.

@ilinx:~$ William James
+ William James (1842-1910) is considered both 'the Father of American psychology' and one of the most influential philosopher of his time establishing along with Charles S. Peirce the philosophical school called Pragmatism. During his career he interacted with a wide array of writers and scholars, such as Sigmund Freud and Carl G. Jung, Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Dewey, but he is also rememberd as one of the three axis of process philosophy along with Henri Bergson and Alfred N. Whitehead. Behind this well known biography, James did important work on religion investigating the mystical experience and experimenting with drugs (chloral hydrate, amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, and peyote). James claimed that it was only when he was under the influence of nitrous oxide that he was able to understand Hegel. This work leads him to start the first American psychedelic movement which later has been continued by William Burroughs.
+ + + From the archives of Harvard University, dugged out and published by professor Adin Fassrol, it appears that William James partecipated as 'special' guest to sveral meetings of the Wicht Club led by Walter Cannon. However, it is still uncertain on which extent James influenced the extracurricular activity of this secret congregation.
