المرض كاستعارة – سوزان سونتاج
الكتاب يتوفر مطبوعا والكترونيا (يرجى متابعة الرابط للتفاصيل)
المرض هو الجانب المظلم من الحياة. إنه مواطَنَة مرهقة وشاقة، فكل شخص ولد مواطناً في مملكة الأصحاء، وفي الوقت نفسه يُولد مواطناً أيضاً في مملكة المرضى. ومع أننا جميعاً نفضل أن نحمل جواز سفر مملكة العافية، فنحن مجبرون آجلاً أم عاجلاً على الأقل لفترةٍ من الزمن، أن نعد أنفسنا مواطنين في مملكة المرض.
أريد أن أتكلم، ليس عن معنى الرحيل إلى مملكة المرض والعيش هناك، ولكن عن الأوهام العقابية أو العاطفية الملفقة عن المرض، وليس عن الانتقال مكانياً، بل عن نماذج لهذه الأوهام التي أخذت طابعاً أو صفاتٍ قومية.
إن موضوعي ليس المرض نفسه، بل استعمالات المرض كاستعارة. موضوعي هو أن المرض ليس استعارة، وأن أصدق نظرةٍ إلى المرض، وأكثر الطرق صحةً في نظر الشخص المريض لمرضه، هي أن يتطهر منه، وأن يكون أشد الناس مقاومةً للتفكير البلاغي واستعمال الاستعارات. إلا أنه من الصعوبة بمكان النظر إلى السكن في مملكة المرض دون تحيُّزٍ، باستعمال الاستعارات التي وَصَفت المرض وصورته.
إنني أكرس هذا التحقيق لشرح هذه الاستعارات وتفنيدها، وتحرير النظرة إلى المرض منها.

Jules and Jim, the Book!
By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year.
The book is available through the Columbus Library's interlibrary loan system. They reported there are twenty-eight copies available in the state of Ohio. If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars.
You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.

Drunken Philosophy: What’s up with all the AI hate?
**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion
**Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?**
A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad.
My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one.
Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it?
I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction.
Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends.
No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
