The Pizzaonian Foundation for Intellectual Advancement announced today the creation of a new discipline called Scienosophy.  Edward Reachouti, director of PFIA, called this “a lifelong dream come true.” 

“Here at PFIA we knew the idea of combining the vagaries of science and philosophy would someday come together and share equal vagueness as a recognized, separate discipline,” said Mr. Reachouti.  Many of the delegates here feel the new Scienosophy will give unproven theoretical knowledge and speculation the respect it deserves from the intellectual and scientific community at large. 

Another aspect of Scienosophy is that the new science gives fresh validation to the alternate universe theory, which is very important here in Pizzaonia.  Pizzaonia, an unrecognized alternate universe occupying the same space and time as the United States, has for years sought validation as a separate entity.  

Pizzaonia, with its rich tradition of cooperation between our religious and business communities is the ideal place to pursue the new and brave frontier of Scienosophy.  The Pizzaonian Monasteries and the international pizza conglomerate, Pizza digogo DiVinci have worked together for many years to give speculation and subjective thought the rightful place it deserves in Academia.  

One of the exciting aspects of this new discipline is that it will bring together the most vague and theoretical concepts of theology and quantum mechanics into a combined field of study.  This will give long overdue credence to speculative concepts and ideas that have had to mask themselves in other disciplines.  "Yes, they can finally come out of the closet and claim their rightful place as a recognized field of study," said Mr. Reachouti 

The College of Scienosophy will be accepting applications from prospective candidates sometime next month.  PFIA is expecting a large response and has assembled a committee of our most speculative and subjective scholars to select the first 400 members for the first class. 

More as it develops..........

Today at the opening of the Pizzaonian Art Institute’s seminar on the state of Pizzaonian art, Abe Straction, newly appointed, permanent curator of the Institute, declared the death of the literal image as a viable art form. 

It should be clear to all who have followed art for the last 100 years that the literal image has become so ubiquitous, cliched and mechanical in its rendition it is now insignificant as a form of communication in the digital age.  This is the major theme of this year’s meetings.

“Perhaps, one could argue there is some usefulness in the literal image as a reminder of a past age, but when examined closely even that fades,” declared Mr. Straction 

The focus of discussions here at the seminar is on what happened to the literal image after it was co-opted as a marketing tool to sell and propagandize.  The advance of technology and the notion that everyone is “an artist” was simply one more “nail in the coffin.” 

Obviously, not everyone agrees, however, this controversy will only grow louder as Mr. Straction gains more credibility in the Pizzaonian art establishment.
