At the American Society for Cybernetics (ASC) conference, in Philadelphia PA. in 1993 Larry Goldfarb presented his thoughts on the Feldenkrais method of body/mind/movement and relations to second-order cybernetics. His presentation, “Meaningful Action: Why Robots Fall Down,” moderated by Robert Schoenholtz, included Heinz von Foerster and Humberto Maturana. Two of the many second-order cyberneticians in the room that day. I miss them all.
Recently I was invited to introduce Larry as our guest presenter during the ASC Speakers Series event on Sunday, March 17, 2024. Join us:
