Scientists have a term for how clothes make us think, feel and behave: “enclothed cognition.” The symbolism of a white lab coat, they discovered in 2012, measurably improves the wearer’s ability to concentrate.

The “White Paintings,” Cage would later say, were an inspiration for his paradigmatic composition “4’33”,” which invites an audience to listen to the music of silence and incidental sounds for four minutes and 33 seconds. Rauschenberg, in turn, would credit Cage with giving him permission to follow his impulses.

new eyes and ears without telling them what to see or hear

Seeing, hearing and thinking freshly: That’s where the aesthetics of Cage, Cunningham and Rauschenberg met. “A thing is just that thing,” Cunningham wrote in 1955. “When I dance, it means: This is what I am doing.” Thwarting artistic convention, these artists offered people new eyes and ears without telling them what to see or hear. Like most paradigm shifters, they began as mocked or ignored by the many, revered by the few.

shelter for inefficiency,

“If this profession should prove itself unwilling to purge its ranks of the incompetent and unworthy, or to prevent the freedom which it claims in the name of science from being used as shelter for inefficiency, for superficiality, or for uncritical or intemperate partisanship,” the authors wrote, “it is certain that the task will be performed by others.”

The beginnings of Faculty Governance

One of those professors, the philosopher Arthur O. Lovejoy, would later be instrumental in forming the American Association of University Professors (A.A.U.P.), and in helping that organization’s commitment to academic freedom. In a 1915 declaration of principles, it defined academic freedom as three-pronged: the freedom to teach; the freedom to research within a professor’s discipline; and — the most contentious among them — the freedom, as a citizen, to the same speech rights that everyone else in this country had. In addition, the declaration’s authors inserted a few caveats that would later become consequential: Professors needed tenure protections, they wrote, and they also needed to decide among themselves, via committee, when one of their peers had crossed a line — a key part of what eventually became known as faculty governance. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/magazine/academic-freedom-politics.html

The moves align with a conservative playbook to reduce faculty power on campuses perceived by many on the right as bastions of liberal thought.

indirect approaches

Eastern philosophies often employ indirect approaches to conveying meaning, using symbolism, metaphor, and suggestion rather than direct, explicit statements. This is evident in various traditions like Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.The focus is on guiding the individual toward understanding through experience and intuition, rather than simply providing answers.
