Learning To Unlearn

Video Find of the Day

A fractal animation joined with a narration about Taoism combines two subjects I've discussed with my daughter. I don't know who the narrator is. The tags mention Watts. Perhaps the text is by Alan Watts. I'm sure the narrator is not, he doesn't sound like him. Anyway, it's entertaining. The reference to mathematics is ironic, since the images, however far they may be from circles and the other standard objects of study in Euclidean geometry, are still entirely planar!

Watts Towers

Video Find of the Day

I've never seen the Watts Towers up close. I only know them from pictures. I like what I've seen, though.

This 1957 documentary might have an accidental creepy feel to it because the music sounds a bit like the Twilight Zone theme. I looked up the composer and found that IMDB doesn't know about his contribution to this documentary, but they do know that he wrote the music for a couple of Mister Magoo cartoons.
