<H3>THE <A name=SECOND>SECOND</A>-ORDER SONG</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>This song [writes Lloyd] is also designed to de-mystify a complex
topic - in this case a basic concept of second-order cybernetics. I like the
quote from Heinz von Foerster: "Objectivity is a subject's delusion that
observing can be done without him. Invoking objectivity is abrogating
responsibility; hence its popularity." </BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>The verses are half-spoken in this song. I like to introduce it
with a quote from Buckminster Fuller: "I seem to be a verb." </BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIR><CITE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>If I'm doing something to it, it's an object<BR>To objectify
existence is a must<BR>By discovering the objects all around me<BR>I know my
world is something I can trust. </BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>(Trust! Trust?)</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>But what if it is doing something to me?<BR>Have I become a victim
of its way?<BR>Could it be I've given it my power?<BR>How come I don't seem to
have a say?</CITE> </BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>Chorus: <I><STRONG>Second order, second order,<BR>Second order
singing is a song, song, song<BR>Second order, second order,<BR>Second order
singing is a song.</I></STRONG> Repeat </BLOCKQUOTE><CITE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>What is this that I am doing to it?<BR>Giving it its
objectivity<BR>As if it was completely independent<BR>Of little, old,
good-for-nothing, me.</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>I do believe that I was its inventor<BR>Perhaps I only have myself
to blame<BR>What it does and what I do are not different<BR>The action and the
object are the same. </BLOCKQUOTE></CITE>
