Speak further on the relationship of false consciousness to consciousness. You alluded to that. I wonder if you could speak briefly on the qualifying word quasi when you corrected yourself from saying evolutionary processes in the brain to cause the evolutionary process is in the brain. There is a lovely book by Peter Godfrey smith, darwinian populations and Natural Selection. That is the title, where he introduces some elegant diagrams which let you see in addition to the pure cases of Natural Selection, the sort of parade cases of Natural Selection, there are lots of processes which are like Natural Selection in one or two or three features but are not classic cases. The development of the nervous system in the individual brain is very much a matter of generation, lots of extra neurons which compete and only some of them get to survive and populate the region and the rest are absorbed and lead to another generation. The very building of a brain is the clause i evolutionary process. O
No, won fair and square. No, no russian involvement. Are you kidding me . Didnt need russia this time. Thats the point. So you believe you wont believe you believe that russians russians did not interfere in the election, but real americans did interfere in the elections, actual americans interfered. But not russia, but real americans. Republicans and democrats in different states. How do you feel about americans . For months it would have taken to do this. You say hypocrisy, i have a different word that i learned in a beer commercial. You cant say that on tv. I learned it in a beer commercial. A travesty within a sham within a mockery. Thats what this is. One night a couple weeks ago when i said i wanted to say it was a tragedy and a travesty, and i said its a trajesty. Everyone on social media said don lemon made up the perfect word by accident. This is a trajesty. What did you call it traveshemockery. Thats whats going on here. We have to be careful. We have to convey how serious it
Collections off to the best possible advantage and great public spaces and we have a really exciting search and on the last day, of our last tour of duty, traveling around we were in oslow and we met with craig and his partner and at the end of that day, we knew and there was. We knew in no Uncertain Terms that this was the firm that we wanted to work with and i can only say that as i welcome craig up to the podium the last three thought and it actually does, this is followed by a creative phase, and the creative phase is really the fun part, and then there is the pass that will move along. Somehow this is a case of construction. And we will deliver this child. Happily, at the end of this, there is the miracle of birth, when the doors open and there is hopefully plenty of hugs and smiles when our guests enter the new sf moment and as of this great day, the building will mature slowly at first and will experience many challenges in its life alongside the days of joy and celebration whil
Entering dao into here, the next couple of years, to culminate will be the most exhilarating and exciting into the entire history of this museum. And i could not be more exciting about this and i think that the board and the staff and the Community Shares that great excitement. At the forefront of all of this work and we could not have asked for a better leader at this time is chunk shwabb the chair and i would like to pass it now to john. Good afternoon, good morning, everybody. What an incredible pleasure for me to be see this modern art building over here, we are going to surround that with a little bit of a veil and that will be a permanent structure right there. So we always want to take the new ideas in. Dont we . And it is really a thrill to be here for this Ground Breaking, and it was a twinkle in our eyes a few years ago and i think to have this moment come and now we got to build something that is for sure. We cant leave this hall here or we would be embarrassed to say the le
Problem and they can stay here for long. Why is there an exception to great for see you all here, i am the director and it is a profound pleasure to welcome you all to this Ground Breaking this morning. We are thrilled that you could join us, this is a defining moment in our history and it is great to have you with us. And i have to say before i begin, that the first person to arrive this morning, for the Ground Breaking was one of our trustees, brooks walker. And books arrival reminded me that 20 years ago, almost exactly, this was in another Ground Breaking on exactly this site. And we are here 20 years later and we are expanding upon that remarkable step that the museum took in 1995. We moved here to third street from the vaness location and from the city hall location. And we were immediately pioneers in this neighborhood. Obviously the south of market neighborhood was not what it is today. And very quickly pioneers became anchors. And that is quickly became a Gathering Place for a
