Sony... just got back. Really good day - Paul Davies, VS Ramachandran wonderful (phantom
limbs, synesthesia [and Art]., apotemnophilia, etc - though he has advanced Parkinson's).
I know that! 'Talk to the guys' >>>>>> PR! We are startlingly alike (similar genes from the old country).
My original thought was for you to come to the set on April 7 for
Gregory Chaitin - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_Chaitin algorithmic information theory
Danny Chamovitz - https://en.wikipedia.orglwiki/Daniel_Chamovitz. "What a
Plant Knows"
On the set, you would see how we work: Peter directing, complex equipment, crew, structure of the session,
nature of questions, and of course listen to the content.
I thought/think the level of risk is low (both are not living in the US - Chaitin in Brazil, Chamovitz in Israel
where he was just installed as president of Ben Gurion University of the Negev).
April 8 is less interesting and more risky. (We'll be back in NY in June, people still being worked through -
interesting characters.)
To meet them one-on-one - in your inimitable and utterly engaging style, which I appreciate and thoroughly
enjoy - is a different question
My original thinking was to keep your/JEVIF underwriting/sponsor relatively secret until the shows are
broadcast - then, after all see our CTT Breakthroughs full season of 13 episodes - high, nonpareil content, world-
class scientists/thinkers, first-class quality of production - truly a unique contribution to world thought - we will
be in a strong position to go public and be proud. (I know PR/public is not your point.)
Prior to broadcast, I'd suggest we be circumspect: I worry that someone might tell their girlfriend or cousin, who
could try to make a problem with PBS, who knows?
Bottom line: Here is what I recommend. The set for sure on April 7 (stay as long or short as you like). For the
one-on-one with you, I invite Chaitin - at your house or on the set, say during lunch, if more convenient. But not
Chamovitz, because his new position as president of Ben Gurion University might make him nervous.
Once we broadcast, then ever in the series is fair game! Proudly so. For example, both Davies and
Ramachandran today - you will love them. Yes, super-smart (in our best sense of the term). Chaitin, too, though
his brilliance is more focused on algorithmic information theory
