I started Early -- Took my Dog
reminds me of running along the beach as a kid with my cousins' dog early in the morning - such a peaceful image starting the poem off
April is the cruellest month, breeding
This reminds me of the popular saying: "April showers bring May flowers." April is known for its rain, which can be very destructive or rejuvenating depending on the scenario.
The constitutional legislative power of Congress in thisinstance is beyond question
Evidence of exercising this investigative power is clearly necessary and proper, but it also reminds me of the purpose of the checks and balances system. While the Judiciary lacks the ability to intervene, the Congress does not...
Congress can abridge speech and association if this Court decides thatthe governmental interest in abridging speech is greater than an individual's interest in exercisingthat freedom....
This statement reminds me of the language used when leaders rationalize conflicts with the constitution. The idea that a government can change what rights are guaranteed depending on how much danger it is in.
Drip drop drip drop drop drop drop
This line reminds me of an earlier line in TWL, which was 308, when Eliot references the Buddha’s Fire Sermon, and writes “burning burning burning burning.” Physically, the two lines have similar repetition styles. In terms of their place in the poem, however, the significance that I see is the differing natural phenomena of fire and water. The Fire Sermon seeks to explain what the sensation of enlightenment and inner peace can feel, after letting go of all physical sensations. The water heater is dripping as part of the “water-dripping song” from Turdus aonalaschkae pallasii, which is a hermit-thrush in Quebec. This reference is a little practical for Eliot, considering his past attachment to works of literary or anthropological significance. In the footnote, Eliot quotes Chapman’s writing that “Its notes are not remarkable for variety or volume, but in purity and sweetness of tone and exquisite modulation they are unequaled.” The sheer language of this quote brings me back to Buddhism, for the specific words of purity, sweetness, tone, and modulation all construct a very peaceful and zen atmosphere. In this way, fire and water somehow connect, with both of them bringing humans inner peace.
winter camp at Valley Forge reminds me of the current lock down.
historical comparison -- not just comparing to another virus....

It reminds me of the way Hawaiian ideas were expressed secretly in mele and the malahini didnʻt understand the significance.

This reminds me of how it is said that if you arenʻt familiar with the rain of a particular location then youʻre not maʻa to that place.
I must choose betweenthe paradox ofvictory of the spirit,despite physical hunger, orto exist in the graspof American social neurosis,sterilization of the souland a full stomach.
this reminds me of Jovita Gonzalez' piece, as she too speaks upon the struggles of "choosing a side" to mentally and physically reside in when it comes to Mexican-Americans.
It is also clear that the street vendors at Diversity Plaza are often overlooked, despite the benefits they bring to the space and to cities generally. New York does not provide nearly enough vending licenses to go around, and without licenses, street vendors are at risk of paying hefty fines.
This reminds me of the Anacostia food exhibit when they talked about the importance of a diversity of food and places to get that food. Obviously you have to make sure these vendors etc are safe and all that, but they can be a great source of affordable food that can bring a little slice of home to people.
It has also become a political staging area, elevating some of the people most involved with its creation to compete for local office in 2021.
This also reminds me of the community planting day in the We Will Not Perish reading. I feel like although these are different circumstances and a different place the importance of these shared community spaces still shines through.
The elementary, middle and high school teacher workforce in Harris County and the city of Houston was not as racially diverse as the population of students they served.
This reminds me of the section I read in TWTF where a black, male teacher discussed how he was the only black, male teacher in the school.
Miss Theenie stood watching. One by one, her children had left her and gone up north. Sam and Cleve to Ohio. Josie to Syracuse. Irene to Milwaukee.
This reminds me of a documentary I watched about the great migration of Sicilian Italians to the U.S. and how in some areas "It was only old women and children that remained." And how devastating the great esudu was on the communities and people that remained. Not to mention how hard it was for those who did arrive in the States.
God would certainly scold!
imagery of a garden, fruit, and God potentially scolding the speaker (who is presumably a woman) for something that she should not do reminds me of the Garden of Eden and further, Adam and Eve's eating from the tree of knowledge and the "original sin".
Why, then, is the State Department, where human relationships are primary, notthe appropriate place for negotiating relations with Indigenous nations?
Reminds me of our conversation about the dioramas- Indigenous people are placed in the same space of scholarly analysis as animals, plants, the environment, etc. in the natural history museum. It seems that this is central to the ongoing justification of settler colonialism- that Indigenous people are merely part of the environment, and therefore are open to exploitation just as natural resources are
How the river here connects to the river everywhere. How the river carries hopes and dreams and losses and anguish. How the river is both water and blood. How the earth here weeps and sings at the same time. How it longs to be like the quiet earth elsewhere.
This passage reminds me of one of my all time favorite songs from John Denver and the Muppets Christmas. It's not really a Christmas song, but was included on the album. the first stanza is: 'When the mountain touches the valley, all the clouds are taught to fly As our souls will leave this land most peacefully. Though our minds be filled with questions, in our hearts we'll understand When the river meets the sea.' https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/johndenver/whentherivermeetsthesea.html
the songs I remember from the nineties, the Cure, the Cranberries, new and old Tejano, Michael Salgado and Intocables, and old conjuntos, Los Relampagos and Los Tigres del Norte and Los Cadetes de Linares looping over and over again.
As a nineties kid, I know the American artist but really want to look up the other artists. I have a love hate with Tejano. The artists themselves are extremally talented but the music is so cloying and reminds me more of a beer hall in Germany than Mexico. It never made sense to me. But now I want to revisit and listen differently.
centripetal and centrifugal
In a different sense, this reminds me of Isaac Newton's discovering of centripetal force shortly before Whitman's time. I wonder if there is any connection here?
conduitsrather thanbarriers,
The idea of trying to "tame" or confine natural resources like water is a colonial idea. This reminds me of Dilip Da Cunha's explorations on water bodies. His work challenges the belief that land and water are separate entities. He advocates for fluid occupancies not defined land uses and for negotiated moments between land and water instead of hard edges.
drinkingwater.
This reminds me of Navajo Nation, a native American reservation where the residents were unaware that uranium mining had made the water extremely hazardous.
The moon gives place to darkness as she dips Behind the western mountain; and the tips Of her uplifted horns alone appear, Like two sharp-pointed tusks uplifted clear, Where bathes an elephant in waters cool, Who shows naught else above the jungle pool.6
This section reminds me of how most people believe Indian theatre text relies on a certain type of physical emotion to convey its meaning, like in the flip (?) video given at the beginning of the module. Very intimate, descriptive, and somewhat chilling.
A long-running digital dream, dating back to the 1940s has been to assemble the information of the world into one linked archive of sorts
This partially reminds me of what Wikipedia has become and what it stands for. We as a society have one singular resource to check both macro and micro levels of knowledge and fact upon. An argument can be made for the level of its authenticity and correctness, but overall, it is a resource unlike any that humans have ever had beyond massive libraries.
The desire for food is one source of our control over the actions of our animals
This reminds me of the hierarchy of needs pyramid that has been brought up in past psychology courses!
May that fire within your body continue to glow brightly.”
Reminds me of Namaste ❤️
Symmetry groups are pretty cool, so let's look at a simple example: the symmetry group of an equilateral triangle. What's the symmetry group of this triangle? To find out, we'll need to find some actions which realign the triangle with itself. One action which leaves the triangle looking unchanged is a rotation by 120 degrees. And another action which leaves the triangle looking unchanged is a horizontal flip. To help us keep track of what an action does to the triangle, I'll doodle some letters on it. Finally, on the right, I'll keep track of the actions you discover. We'll start with "do nothing", which I've labeled "e", and we'll draw more actions as we find them. Why "e"? The first group theory books were in German, they shortened "Einheit" to "e", and the name stuck. On the right, each circular shape represents an action in the group, and arrows will show you what happens if you rotate and flip the triangle starting from every action. Use these two buttons to explore the group! Find every action and arrow to proceed. Alright! Looks like you found everything! This way of drawing symmetry groups, where we draw one circle per action and arrows to represent certain actions, is called a Cayley graph. Doesn't the triangle's Cayley graph look somewhat triangular? That's no coincidence. Somehow, the symmetry group is capturing info about the original shape we started with. This group is called "the dihedral group of order 6". Since it's the symmetry group of a 3-sided triangle, the group's name is usually written "D3". Confusingly, some mathematicians call it D6 instead, because there are 6 actions in this group. Even more interesting, the resulting group doesn't depend on the actions we choose to build the graph with. For example, we built this Cayley graph using a rotation and flip. But what if we chose other actions? For example, what if I choose the action labeled "rf"? I'll draw it in purple. What happens if we try building this triangle's Cayley graph out of this purple flip and a horizontal flip? Try applying the actions in different orders. Well done. The arrows are a bit different, but we still reached all the same actions. It looks like the symmetry group of a shape is somehow independent of the actions we use to build it. Let's test it one more time. What if we choose these two actions as our starting actions? Let's try building the triangle's Cayley graph out of these two rotation actions. Looks like you filled out as much of the Cayley graph as you can. Huh. This isn't the full symmetry group of our triangle. Why can't we reach any of the flips? Isn't the symmetry group of a shape independent of the actions we started from?
something about this reminds me of the difference b/w fermions and bosons, but not sure what it is exactly yet.
Just one of my strange hunches
culturalhumility offers social work an alternative approach that focuses on knowl-edge of self in relation to others,
I like this. It reminds me of how when I have visited other countries I was often as surprised by what I learned about myself (which I didn't know because - growing up with it in my culture, I had taken for granted) as I was by what I learned about other cultures. I think we must want to become better at that self-learning peice- thinking of things in terms not just of learning how "they" are, but equally in terms of learning "how I am". Are Chinese people often more frugal, or are Americans (and am I) often a bit on the spendy side?
By first recognizing and then changing our assumptions, we can, to use a common phrase, “think outside the box.”
reminds me of the book 1984 by George Orwell. Main character questions assumptions.
it's horriblehow their culturewas destroyedas if in some reckless stormbut thank god we wereableto savesomeof theseartifacts-history is soimportant. Will you lookat this metalwork?I couldcry
Reminds me of early 20th century tomb excavations in Egypt and how Britain and other imperial powers took artifacts back to the homeland to 'display' and 'fascinate' European populations.
Metadata is simply data about data. It means it is a description and context of the data. It helps to organize, find and understand data.
This reminds me utilizing card catalogues from libraries. Each card featured basic information about the book, including where it might be found in the library and its primary subjects. The cards were grouped by author, title, and subject to make it easier for library patrons to discover materials.
Spreadsheets
This spreadsheet really points out to me how its hard if not impossible to have data be useful without metadata. Without those column and row names those would just be random numbers. It reminds me of how time and space are intertwined, it is essentially meaningless to have one without the other. This also made me think about how media can end up unreliably reporting data without the context of metadata.
My opinions were the sport of eternal change. Some times I conceived the apparition to be more than human. I had no grounds on which to build a disbelief. I could not deny faith to the evidence of my religion; the testimony of men was loud and unanimous: both these concurred to persuade me that evil spirits existed, and that their energy was frequently exerted in the system of the world. These ideas connected themselves with the image of Carwin. Where is the proof, said I, that daemons may not be subjected to the controul of men? This truth may be distorted and debased in the minds of the ignorant. The dogmas of the vulgar, with regard to this subject, are glaringly absurd; but though these may justly be neglected by the wise, we are scarcely justified in totally rejecting the possibility that men may obtain supernatural aid. The dreams of superstition are worthy of contempt. Witchcraft, its instruments and miracles, the compact ratified by a bloody signature, the apparatus of sulpherous smells and thundering explosions, are monstrous and chimerical. These have no part in the scene over which the genius of Carwin presides. That conscious beings, dissimilar from human, but moral and voluntary agents as we are, some where exist, can scarcely be denied. That their aid may be employed to benign or malignant purposes, cannot be disproved.
This part specifically reminds me of Mather's apocalyptic view. Especially the part "evil spirits existed, and that their energy was frequently exerted in the system of the world." Clara seems to be both convinced that supernatural forces are in effect, but also questioning the evidence - both ways: No proof against it, no proof to support it.
Chapter XIX
The entire chapter is a mix of overlapping sentimentalism and gothic elements in the form of religious enthusiasm: devoted and passionately religious Wieland is convinced by a hallucination that he must sacrifice his wife - and later children - to rid himself of mortal impurities, selfishness, and to prove his faith to God by it. The darkness and the torturous thoughts about death and murdering what's most precious to him are gothic elements. I think the cause - the hallucination itself - as godly as it looks is controversially gothic because it is a coverage of the madness and the horrors that will happen. The emotions are overpouring with grief, hesitation, and the urge to fulfill a "divine duty". The reasoning is far from prudent, although there are episodes where Wieland is torn between his love for his family and God. The inner conflict - although more exaggerated here - reminds me a little of "Contemplations", but unlike in Contemplations, where from the gloomy thoughts we reach peace, Weiland is "dancing with madness" in his inner battle, episodically going back and forth even after the deed is done - at first he's relieved even happy that he was able to obey a divine command and set himself free, but then he breaks down under its weight, and again his hallucinations bring him back to carry on and repeat it with his children too.
Use search box to find sources not displayed by default
One Thing I found interesting was that a lot of news sources did not reach a high level of reliability, with NPR News Now producing the highest amount of reliable content at a stunning 50.75 as well as being the most centered response on the list. After this one the reliability falls to the the side as it gets more biased towards either side. No site on this list get to a 64 which is the highest reliability on this graph let alone a 100. A quote this reminds me of is “If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're misinformed.” - Mark Twain.
Black women have written little about black female spectatorship, about our moviegoing practices.
this reminds me of another work of Asian feminism from another class I'm taking. Women literary is comparatively less on the market and this genre came by Asian or African ethnicities are even lesser.
the value of art
This reminds me of our previous discussion about some special art like that banana with a tape on the wall. Personally speaking, all final goods, if they tried to be sold, the price should relate to the input.
In a culture whosealready classical dilemma is the hypertrophy of the intellect at theexpense of energy and sensual capability, interpretation is the revenge ofthe intellect upon art.
This reminds me of something my writing seminar has been discussing: the excess of intellect. We have been talking about how dense theory can sometimes be pointless and that we should take language a little less seriously. Similarly, we should take art a little less seriously.
it is a form of therapy
I won't lie, playing my violin has been a massive help to me in settling into college. Whether it serves as a distraction, a way to channel my emotions, or reminds me of home, art is definitely therapeutic.
he value of art
This reminds me of our debate about "What is art?"- For example, the banana that sold for thousands of dollars.
trash that will never break down.
This reminds me of an artist by the name of Vic Muniz. In his film Trash, we see the individuals who have to work the landfills of Brazil. It is labor that is once again an afterthought. In the film, each worker has a living room sized portrait made of them from the mountains of trash they work on.
the date eventually announced as 2038. That’s another two decades of churning out coal.
Yeah, Thanks! But, this reminds me of the argument that compromise isn't enough. Because, yes we are thankful for climate action, but legislation factually not being enough is not a matter of being "ungrateful," it's a matter that Science has literally proven that it will not be enough to save the human race.
North of the Slot were the theaters, hotels, and shopping district, the banks and the staid, respectable business houses. South of the Slot were the factories, slums, laundries, machine-shops, boiler works, and the abodes of the working class.
Doubleness: There is a split between "the North" and "the South". The North is upscale and the South is the labor force. Reminds me a lot of the East and West Egg from the Great Gatsby.
I do not think I would.
The words “not” and “nor” are repeated throughout the poem. However, this line contrasts the rest of the poem in that the use of “not” in this poem gives love a positive connotation. The poem states, “Love is not all” and “Love can not”. However, the line “I do not think I would” implies that despite loves inabilities one still would not rid themselves of it. The poem reminds me of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
May pierce me–does the rose regret The day she did her armour on?
This and the other allusions to thorns, spines, and iron cortexes seem to establish a phallic suggestion to this poem, but also suggesting that the dark delphinium is death, a theme of conflating sex and death which reminds me of Pink Floyd's "The Wall".
In that the foul supplants the fair,
this line reminds me of Macbeth, "Fair is foul and fouls is fair," (Act 1, Scene 1, Lines 12-13). I think in this poem it is commenting on the bittersweetness of the poisonous plant. It is so beautiful yet dangerous, and also the speaker's seeming bittersweetness with death.
~isthetrue structure?
This reminds me of the problems posed to us in CS200 re: data structures and algorithms. However, back when this was written, I'd imagine storage and minimization of runtime was much more vital than it is now. That makes me wonder: In the future, will we care so much about runtime and storage space when machines become (seemingly) faster and more expansive with each year.
It is difficult to describe aninteractive computer system so peoplecan visualize it
This reminds me of different diagrams to describe an interactive computer system, like Use case diagram, activity diagram, E-R diagram and so on. Comparing to describe programs in words, now I understand why these diagrams are very useful and easy to understand.

This reminds me of distributed systems. I am not sure if that's what the author is referring to, but it's interesting that the author(s) of this paper is thinking about that topic in the world of technology.
Keywords are a common method of accessing data for which one does not have the exact coordinates. The usual problem with keywords, however, is that two people never chose the same keywords. The keywords then become useful only to people who already know the application well.
I might be off and misunderstanding the idea, but this sentence reminds me of search. Not everyone googles the same keywords, but each word is linked to a collection of links relevant to this search. So maybe the author is wrong when they think using keywords comes with challenges.
Perhaps a linked information system will allow us to see the real structure of the organisation in which we work.
This reminds me of learning about Graphs in CS200. Graph analysis is still a huge part of how we understand and make decisions today, from seeing relationships between social media profiles to city planning (where should we put new commuter rail routes, etc). Amazing how a virtual system can make such waves in the real world, to the point where buildings, streets, transit systems are built around it.
This reminds me of a love cycle , how love changes and takes different form with time
he captures himself a bride.
This reminds me of the discussion we had in class about the differences between the stories told by men and the stories told by women. In the majority of male storytellers' stories, men are seen as having been successful if they manage to obtain a woman at the end.
modern folklorists have criticized the Grimms for the libertiesthey took in formulating tales in their own words, rather than reporting themverbatim as they received them from informants,
This reminds me of our discussion on Wednesday about El Koudia and Rahmouni. El Koudia honors and respects the text by altering some of it to produce a new version, easily understandable for English readers. Rahmouni does the complete opposite and honors the stories by recording them as accurately as she can, preserving even grammatical errors.
This reminds me of innate learning. When you learn things before knowing that you learned them.
It is important in your summary that you make connections between the key ideas in the article.
Yes I think this is how to Activate learning. You have just read something and just marking the texts is not enough. Put something like this reminds me of when I use to teach and try to connect a character to someone real.
around small-group tables or work areas.
This reminds me of a fun class I had in high school. The teacher always had her desks in the same groups of four around the classroom. Although since she taught U.S. History, she decided to put a sign above each group of desks and name them by decade. For example, I always sat at the 1960's table. This was very simple but gave more organization (when she would call on a group) and creativity to the classroom. During group activities, it honestly made us more of a team because we had a name.
We keep the wall between us as we go. To each the boulders that have fallen to each. And some are loaves and some so nearly balls We have to use a spell to make them balance: “Stay where you are until our backs are turned!”
Alienation and confinement are certainly present thematically in this passage. This section also reminds me of the Greek myth of Sisyphus, who was condemned to roll a boulder up a hill for all of eternity.
The witch that came (the withered hag) To wash the steps with pail and rag, Was once the beauty Abishag,
There's the same motif or theme of haunting in these lines of what was once and what is now. Additionally the line "The witch that came...was once the beauty Abishag" reminds me of the lines "Here there is death...Here where the dull sun shines" from Robinson's "The Dead Village" because of the thought impossibility.
Better to go down dignified With boughten friendship at your side Than none at all. Provide, provide!
This reminds me again of the work seen earlier in class, where the speakers put lots of pressure on themselves to have something to look back onto after death. That if you don't do something great in your life, you will always be haunted by the chance or 'what if.'
Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.
It almost feels like the speaker has come to these woods before and knows that somebody now occupies it. That he knows the woods enough to know where to not be seen. Having something you know being occupied by someone else, and the use of the word 'village' reminds me greatly of the other works we have read.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
This line reminds me a lot of Robinson's work, and how haunted he was. It seems Frost will always be haunted by the choices he made, especially when deciding which road to take. Even though this choice was a long time ago, the haunt of it will never go away.
We keep the wall between us as we go.
The fence that separates the narrator and their neighbor, alienates them from one another. This reminds me of the veil between DuBois and the other kids in his class. The "veil" or "fence" keeps them at a distance from one another and divides them.
Die early and avoid the fate. Or if predestined to die late,
Can we avoid our own fate? It reminds me of the long discussions of fate versus free will. Do we actually have choice? Or are we just going along the path laid there for us?

In this realm, in the "folds of the night," by mastering new technology while letting his imagination and his antisocial inclinations loose, he could be, simultaneously, a boy and a man, a child and an adult. He could also straddle old and new definitions of masculinity.
I must admit to you, reading these words and this entire text reminds me a lot of motivational quotes that I read up on Instagram. Plus, the portion where it states that "by mastering new technology while letting his imagination and his antisocial inclinations loose" is something that I agree with heavily. It's hard to explain, but sometimes man must be able to take certain paths alone to [maybe] become a smart, intelligent and wiser man.
the misuse of history can get people killed
Reminds me of the misuse of history employed by the Nazis to justify the oppression of different minorities.
We believe that the net benefits of scale outweigh the costs associated with these qualifications, provided that they are seriously addressed as part of what scaling means. The alternative of small, hand-curated models from which negative inputs and outputs are solemnly scrubbed poses different problems. “Just let me and my friends curate a small and correct language model for you instead” is the clear and unironic implication of some critiques.
This is the classical de/centralization debate, visible today also with regard to online platforms. Which, by the way, are or will be inserting LLMs into their infrastructural stacks. Thinking about de/centralization always reminds me of Frank Pasquale's "Tech Platforms and the Knowledge Problem" https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3197292
In contrast, the reform of the UN Committee on World Food Security triggered by the 2007–2008 food price crisis established a strong precedent for what could be called ‘inclusive multilateralism’ in which civil society and social movements are full participants, but decision-making is reserved for governments, who hence can be held accountable (McKeon this issue).
This reminds me of the paradox of top-down and bottom-up approaches. Where and when and how could we balance between those two approaches in order to achieve the 'right' power in global food governance?
The investigator is staggered by the findings and conclusions of thousands of other workers—conclusions which he cannot find time to grasp, much less to remember, as they appear. Yet specialization becomes increasingly necessary for progress, and the effort to bridge between disciplines is correspondingly superficial.
reminds me of our discussion about the move away from the 'solitary genius' of western tradition to a more collaborative approach towards knowledge-building in which everyone specializes in something different
mixing
I want to focus this annotation on Rupert Brooke’s letter and the striking parallels between it, and The Wasteland. First, the letter describes a camping Englishman, inclined to music, who does not truly expect to fight in the battles to come. This description matches Eliot quite well, who was rejected from the American Army because of a physical disability, and turned to poetry in its absence. “Sat alone, looking at the sea,” both of the men are outliers, in the quiet away from true wasteland of war (The Letter also got me thinking that The Wasteland could also refer to No Man’s Land between the trenches during the Great War, where not even the hints of life could begin to bud)
Brooke’s letter also describes that “a thousand little figures tumbled through his mind.” As touched upon in the reading from two nights ago, The Wasteland is a blurry collection of voices: only Eliot knows when the speaker shifts and the narrative warps. It is a poem made from the chaotic, yet measured excerpts of a thousand little figures and moments within Eliot’s own mind, transcribed onto the page. While this may be a stretch, “a thousand little figures” also reminds me of PTSD. How many soldiers felt the discombobulation of war and trauma after returning home? How many of them could have found comfort in The Wasteland’s powerfully radical format?
Finally, a few miscellaneous thoughts. First, Brooke’s friend “realized … that music would be neglected,” reflecting Eliot’s very similar theme to a Wasteland’s lack of spark and art. His friend also “felt the triumphant helplessness of a lover.” This reminded me of the fleeting introduction of the “we” pronoun. The “we” introduces a sense of familiarity, yet strangeness as the reader can only speculate to whom the “we” refers to. Maybe it is the speaker’s helpless lover. Maybe it’s a childhood friend.
ἀποθανεῖν
TS Eliot honors Sibyl of Cumae by extending her memory throughout time. Sibyl describes that "the time will come when the passage of days will render such body as I have tiny, and my limbs, consumed with age, will reduce to the slightest of burdens". She has experiences centuries of history but will still feel the effects of age. She will eventually become non existent, but will still need a voice. I believe this resonated with TS Eliot as he preserves the memory of old and classic stories to extend their vitality. Sibyl' only has her voice to be remembered by and as time goes on, people on our society will tend to forget the importance of her story or the power her voice holds. TS Eliot revives her myth, resharing it with the rest of the world and giving a new platform for her voice. This seems to fit Eliot's goal with this poem as the original homage to Conrad reflects Eliot's personal connection to this novel. When Mr. Kurtz dies and says the line that was the original epigraph, the moment reminds me of Eliot. While re-encountering stories of the path, he has the "complete knowledge" necessary to understand the Waste Land. With that knowledge, he must have reflected on range of emotions related to desire, temptation, and fear. Kurtz tasks Marlow with notes from his exploration and urges him to protect. This reflects the way Eliot tasks his readers with maintaining the life of the stories connected to the Waste Land.

Gross. Reminds me of Blake and[ his dark Satanic mills (the English churches or as I contend today's schools both public and private.
Two centuries ago Leibniz invented a calculatingmachine which embodied most of the essential features ofrecent keyboard devices, but it could not then come intouse.
Some great findings will not appear to be very useful and appealing at the first time. This reminds me the development of neural net work. In 90s, the most popular algorithm for machine learning is SVM (Support Vector Machine). Deep neural network has not been paid much attention, because it not only could not be explained by elegant mathematical model, but also required a lot of computing resources. However, after 10 years, with the development of GPU and optimization algorithms, deep neural network has become the dominating algorithm. So, we should not neglect the potential of a new discovery.
Mendel’s concept of thelaws of genetics was lost to the world for a generationbecause his publication did not reach the few who werecapable of grasping and extending it; and this sort of cata-strophe is undoubtedly being repeated all about us, as trulysignificant attainments become lost in the mass of theinconsequential
This reminds me that a breakthrough can never be one man's credit. Mondel is great, but we should also remember that a large number of scientists have worked extremely hard to refine and expand his findings.
Two centuries ago Leibniz invented a calculatingmachine which embodied most of the essential features ofrecent keyboard devices, but it could not then come intouse. The economics of the situation were against it: thelabor involved in constructing it, before the days of massproduction, exceeded the labor to be saved by its use, sinceall it could accomplish could be duplicated by sufficient useof pencil and paper. Moreover, it would have been subjectto frequent breakdown, so that it could not have beendepended upon; for at that time and long after, complexit
This reminds me of the definition of machines: Machines are designed is to reduce the effort (force) required to perform a simple task. Seems like Leibniz's work was in fact a huge scientific discovery, but it not only did not reduce the effort to perform a required task, it made performing the task harder due to the cost (economic + labor) that it incurred on the users.
Thehuman mind does not work that way. It operates by asso-ciation
This reminds me of the book I read in the summer called "Algorithms to live by". Indeed our mind stores data not by categorization but by association with a LIFO queue. Recognizing that human mind is an exquisite work of arts, perhaps we can learn more from how the human minds deal with information and feed it back to the research of how machine best handles data.
the author of the future ceasewriting by hand or typewriter and talk directly to therecord
Reminds me of a takeaway from CSCI2370 Scientific Visualization--the optimal channel for machine2mind is graphics and the optimal channel for mind2machine is speech.
Graphics input to the mind is stuck in the endless loop of UIUX optimization and needs groundbreaking findings from cognitive science to help us understand how to better feed information to the eyes.
Speech input to the machine is stuck in constantly growing speech models that rely on semantic understanding with lack of logical understanding. What could incorporate logic into semantics? This could lead to the paradigm shift in chatbot and NLP.
This is a muchlarger matter than merely the extraction of data for thepurposes of scientific research; it involves the entire processby which man profits by his inheritance of acquired knowl-edge.
Bush's mission to create some sort of device that can make knowledge and information more accessible for any and all purposes (not just "scientific research") reminds me of our discussion during the first lecture about how Tim Berners-Lee initially invented the Internet for a small use case and did not have the vision that his creation could become this very thing that Bush is looking for. I wonder if anything would have changed if Berners-Lee had more of Bush's mindset.
This demonstrates latent learning. Ravi had learned the route to school, but had no need to demonstrate this knowledge earlier.
This reminds me of when I took the M22 bus to my middle school everyday but sometimes, the M22 bus wouldn't be on time or wouldn't be running so I just walk to school along the same route.
You know, for instance, that you can’t walk through walls or leap into the tops of trees
This reminds me of an experiment I've heard about with a baby on top of a look through glass thing.
“the pain he inflicts, or desires to inflict, is really part of his love,”
General Annotation #2 The violence that is shown in the heterosexual love reminds me of Pinto's text where she talks about subversive love and how it has the power to overthrow peoples' emotions and lives where she says, "...love as a radical or subversive emotion with the potential to transform society."
white men regularly raped white women
General Annotation #1 Reminds me of a criminal justice class I took in high school, and we were shown information that white men were the majority towards violence of white women.
With social media, such as blogs, social networking sites, discussion forum, image sharing services, and video sharing services, teachers are able to connect with other people and a variety of resources on an ongoing basis to improve their practice.
This reminds me of the expanding of your PLN that we talked about last semester!
AT&T bought out competitors where it could and ceded territories where it was losing. With tighter fiscal control, and facing capital uncertainties as well, AT&T's rate of expansion declined.
This reminds me of Warner Brothers Discovery. If I am not mistaken, AT&T owns Warner Brothers [or the other way around]. Basically, with the experience that Warner Brothers is going through in terms of new business deals, leadership shifts, and cancelling some of their movies, it seems like history is repeating itself [not in a good way of course].
As a metaphorical mode of representation, whether it may be oral, iconic, or written, the fairy tale effective ydraws our attention to relevant information that will enable us to knowmore about our real life situations, and through its symbolical code anflexible structure, it allows for personal and public, individual and co-lective interpretations
I think this an interesting light to see fairytales in. It almost reminds me of the notion of "taking what you need" and our brains allowing us to focus on what resonates with us and taking out the morals that we can particularly relate to.
Mumford’s city is an assemblage of media forms (vaults, archives, monuments, physical and electronic records, oral histories, lived cultural heritage); agents (architectures, institutions, media technologies, people); and functions (storage, processing, transmission, reproduction, contextualization, operationalization). 19 It is a large, complex, and varied epistemological and bureaucratic apparatus. It is an information processor, to be sure, but it is also more than that.
The city isn't a computer! It's far more complicated, and to claim that it's a computer would be a dramatic reduction of capability. This reminds me of Hypernormalization - it's this attempt to fit the city to a much simpler model, then convince everyone that this simple model makes sense and it works, but in truth the system is far more complex.
We’ve long conceived of our cities as knowledge repositories and data processors
This reminds me of works like the mailing tube systems of NYC - the foundation of the city had all of these physical pathways designed to facilitate communication and transmission of both information and physical belongings! We should bring systems like this - for transporting physical data!
So really this three-handed clock is a relic of that brief moment in time between the old and new, when there was an acceptance that standard time was kind of required in some ways but local time was still preferred and you were just in this weird interregnum where both of those things were equally dominant.
Reminds me of how some places have daylight savings and some don't. Time is always such a trippy concept to explore to me because it's so subjective especially for me as a ND person who can struggle with time blindness
even one's job
that reminds me of the movie Philadelphia with Tom Hanks.
a sudden beam of joy passed across her languid features, she raised her eyes to heaven—and then closed them for ever.
Here Charlotte has died but she finally has peace and it’s described as joy. She got to see her father again, and this reminds me of how people crave what’s most important to them.
The same digital artifact can leadmultiple lives on multiple platforms, with multipleauthors. It can undergo remixing by others before,during, and after its “completion.”
This reminds me of an idea from semiotics that I learned from a course in translation studies: That the moment a text transitions from "author" to "reader", the character of the text is fundamentally altered within the mind of the reader; undergoing a kind of remixing. To me, this adds a level of cohesion between pre-digital and digital artifacts. It's like a perceivable, actualized, and real-time form of the mental processes we've been doing to pre-digital artifacts the whole time.
I am constantly learning to challenge my position in the world, and understand the power imbalances that I am a part of.
This quote by the author reminds me of the ted talk video, "Your privilege is showing" because it is important to understand that there are systems of oppression that we are all apart of even if we like to believe that we aren't. And it is important to learn about how we are involved in these systems so we can actively try to change them.
We are also told by the media that buying more stuff can make us happy
This reminds me of when people say would you rather be poor and happy or rich and sad
hey alert us to dangeroussituations, instruct us, guide us, give us counsel, and reveal what mighthappen if we take advantage of helpful instruments or agents, or whatmight happen if we do no
They invoke our survival instincts without putting us in actual danger. In a way that kind of reminds me of bungee jumping. You are given the illusion that you are falling to your death but you are not. Your body feels the same release and submission as it would if it were actually dying but the best part is you get to live.
In some respects 1 believe that we have been attracted to fairy talesbecause they are survival stories with hope
This reminds me of reading as a form of escapism: one reason we read is largely to see a happy ending to push us to keep going. As opposed to other genres with survival stories that might not end well, fairytales tend to provide optimism along with their lessons.
Paradoxically, the airytale creates disorder ro create order and, at the same «™.m g,ve vo. eto Utopian wishes and to ponder instinctual drives and gender, ethnicfamily and social conflicts
This somewhat reminds me of the article arguing that fairytales aren't only for children by showing the social and cultural complexities...is this part of what keeps these stories relevant/captivating?
irst, she is donned witha red hat, a chaperon* making her into a type of bourgeois girl taintedwith sin since red, like the scarlet letter A, recalls the devil and heresy.Second, she is spoiled, negligent, and naive.
The previous adaption includes a cat calling the girl a "slut" In Perrault's rendition, he alludes to "slut" without outright using the words. The little girl wearing red reminds me of how modern society often blame women who are raped for dressing promiscuously. It shows how Perrault's version is still relevant even if modern Little Red Riding Hood has strayed far from his moral.
The sentiments of these statements generally demonstrated that designers connected with personas who reminded them of people that they knew. Similarly, designers were attracted to personas who had stories that paralleled the designers’ own backgrounds (e.g., “I was like this persona;” “I could have been this persona;” or “I have a similar story to this persona.”).
It seems to me that this would be one of the goals of this exercise--that the users of the persona would find connections to the characters depicted in them and relate them with real people they have come in contact with. It is probably the case that the more dimensions to the persona that get fleshed out in its creation, the more likely it will be that users will be able to find some element of the character that reminds them of someone that they know.
Volunteers had to prove little beyond their age (18 to 35) and health, as verified by an exam. Some started the very day they walked into a recruiting office. When one young woman called her mother in Virginia with the startling news, she later recalled, her mother “was stunned into silence for a moment, then asked weakly, ‘Oh, Sister, can you ever get out?’”
Judging by the way the mother asks this question, it seems to me that it almost sounds like volunteers were almost drafted into the recruitments [if that makes sense to say]. By that, I mean that it reminds me a bit of soldiers being drafted into the Vietnam War [even though this text takes place way before Vietnam].
Arbor House has employed one strategy that I don’t think is great from an accessibility standpoint, which is to deliberately slow down the elevators.
This reminds me of the debate a couple years ago about the elimination of plastic straws. So often it feels like accessibility and sustainability are in opposition to one another
y. Remarkably, we are occasionally afforded afleeting glimpse of the ScanOps by the accidents or errors left behind in thescanned pages of books: a creased page, gloved fingertip, severed hand. Bycollecting and examining the traces in Google Books, along with other im-ages, objects, and observations found online that reveal the partial perspec-tives of the ScanOps, this work aims to expose alternate realities of datainfrastructures by unearthing who and what is subsumed by, hidden, orbaked into these systems, and how these entities are purposefully obscuredfrom view.
This reminds me of the scholars' efforts to identify and name the painters by identifying their scribbles and notes on the writing scrolls of the Akbar Khan period.
imposeupon them the methods he thinks best;
The absolute method indicates the rational thinking of rule makers, who only pursued the most efficient way. This reminds me of the topic of rule-making should involved humanity or not.
Visible: the inmate will constantly have before his eyes thetall outline of the central tower from which he is spied upon.Unverifiable: the inmate must never know whether he is beinglooked at at any one moment; but he must be sure that he mayalways be so.
A system that relies on the fear/paranoia of citizens to achieve order; this reminds me of "Big Brother is watching you" from George Orwell's 1984. Similarly to the Panopticon, the fear of a seemingly omniscient and omnipresent governmental entity in 1984 suppressed the will of the people.
by using orphans. One would seewhat would happen when, in their sixteenth or eighteenth year,they were presented with other boys or girls; one could verifywhether, as Helvetius thought, anyone could learn anything;one would follow ‘the genealogy of every observable idea’; onecould bring up different children according to different systemsof thought, making certain children believe that two and twodo not make four or that the moon is a cheese, then put themtogether when they are twenty or twenty-five years old; onewould then have discussions that would be worth a great dealmore than the sermons or lectures on which so much money isspent; one would have at least an opportunity of making dis-coveries in the domain of metaphysics.
Panopticon reminds me about the movie, the voyagers and the novel, Lord of the flies, both indicates the hypothesis of isolated kids that mirror the tragedy and beauty of humanity
But the Panopticonwas also a laboratory; it could be used as a machine to carry outexperiments, to alter behaviour, to train or correct individuals.
This reminds me of scientific experiments done to humans in the Holocaust, as well as to Black Americans.
he Pan-opticon presents a cruel, ingenious cage. The fact that it shouldhave given rise, even in our own time, to so many variations,projected or realized, is evidence of the imaginary intensitythat it has possessed for almost two hundred years.
This line about how the panopticon has so many variations reminds me of the Berlin Philharmonic's hall, which is a stage that is surrounded by the audience 360 degrees, sports stadiums, older concert venues, and some new theatres that utilize a central stage with a surrounding audience.
Behind the disciplinary mechanisms can be read the hauntingmemory of ‘contagions’, of the plague, of rebellions, crimes,vagabondage, desertions, people who appear and disappear,live and die in disorder.
This reminds me of how in society, people often use threats in one area of life to make impacts in other areas. For example, covid-19 deniers used the virus and its accompanying lockdown rules to spread propaganda about government corruption and surveillance. Additionally, western countries used Covid-19 as a basis to alienate the Chinese government.
Therefore, the major weakness in water transport during the WesternZhou period was insufficient geographical coverage of water bodies.
The Western Zhou period people were mostly familiar with land transport. It is interesting to consider how waterborne transport was not a priority for civil matters such as trade and transportation. It was only for considerations of war and defence that waterways became prominent. This reminds me of Charles Tilly's work on the origin of the state. It was the state/empire that created and endowed resources to make for its self-preservation.
sovereignty
for some reason, this word reminds me of a toxic, traditional egyptian relationship; a husband is allowed the use of physical force with his wife, just because she is his 'wife' and he is allowed and obliged to so. however, he is also her protector and any force from the outside is considered a threat to his legitimacy 'as a man' or as a state if i'm being specific
Jeff Miller@jmeowmeowReading the lengthy, motivational introduction of Sönke Ahrens' How to Take Smart Notes (a zettelkasten method primer) reminds me directly of Gerald Weinberg's Fieldstone Method of writing.
reply to: https://twitter.com/jmeowmeow/status/1568736485171666946
I've only seen a few people notice the similarities between zettelkasten and fieldstones. Among them I don't think any have noted that Luhmann and Weinberg were both systems theorists.
Forbear for God's sake, master, ask no more.
Oedipus's questioning of the Herdsman is was ultimately is the beginning of his demise - the learning of the truth. Especially in Greece, the truth is a powerful tool as well as weapon in the rises and falls of such empires throughout its history. It also reminds me of the phrase "Don't shoot the messenger".
You shall not be double-minded nor double-tongued, for to be double-tongued is a snare of death.
I like this statement, it reminds me of Love Your Enemies from The Way to Love. Be nice don't just put on an act of being nice.
Simulation is a contestedcondition,
reminds me of discussions of sci-fi concepts in actuality
The snows and the roses of yesterday are vanished; And what is love but a rose that fades?
I am not sure if I am misreading these lines but, this reminds me of "They Feed They Lion" by Phillip Levine because of what we discussed in class about the poem mentioning the residue giving rise to something new; here the line says "what is love but a rose that fades" and the line almost seems to imply that there's power still after the love fades, after a rose vanishes there's still beauty and love.
Everybody living in a city sees the telegraph messenger hurrying along the street; hears the news-boy shouting out the names of his papers; is offered on every hand the services of the boot-black, or comes in contact with the cash-boy or office-boy.
This kind of reminds me of paper boys who ride around on bikes and toss newspapers to people's houses. It seems like a small job, but without them, people might not get the news.
I did not think that I should find them there When I came back again; but there they stood,
There's a sense of nostalgia here. The speaker returns home after a long time and find that his friends or people her knew are still there and nothing has really changed. It reminds me of going back to my hometown in Vietnam and feeling like I have changed a lot, but not much has changed there.
The wisdom of attachment science can be summarised in a few basic ideas, the most fundamental of which is that we are wired for close connection with others and this connection is vital to our survival.
The bases of this idea is in every love article cause it is your make it. But this mainly reminds me of the article that talks all about the science of love.
If we are alone, we actually see a hill as higher. If we are accompanied by another, we perceive a hill as lower.
This reminds me of the difference between playing a game with someone and playing solo.
The basic building block of family stability – love – is recognised as a source of happiness and life satisfaction
This reminds me of the text from the university of how love works. Almost all aspects they wrote connects to the idea that everyone needs love and will have love at least once in their life
mother called it a ‘funny five minutes’ never to be trusted
This reminds me of some of my friends who went through hard relationships. It is crazy how people loose their connection with their feelings.
GoGuardian’s suite of tools helps you maximize the learning potential of your 1:1 school technolo
Terminology like "maximize potential" reminds me of the quote from Bigum/Kenways' view of boosters: "The technology is seen in terms of replacing "inefficient" human activity..."
Telegraph boys reportedly developed their own language to describe their experience of delivering and what to expect from their customers: a “lag” was an unusually long distance to cover; a “cop” was a house or business that tipped
What's so interesting about this portion is that these telegraph boys that developed their own language for communicating or for record keeping reminds me a bit of the military alphabet. They have these odd yet effective looking names that still prove to be effective today.
Page 8, "The students did not have to memorize the description mechanically, but rather learn its underlying significance. Only by learning the significance could they know how to memorize it, to fix it."
This reminds me of a video I saw recently for my Critical Thinking class that talked about the difference of impact between memorizing the solution to a specific problem and having a general understanding that can allow you to create multiple solutions to multiple problems.
The pattern language is the instrument which makes it possible for members of the cluster to design their own houses, and for the builder to help them take their rudimentary sketches and make a building out of them. It is a system of instructions based on the most fundamental psychological necessities of buildings, which gives the individuals who use it unexpected creative power.
The pattern language is quite beautiful - giving users the power of a high level description language to apply to design, allowing designers, architects and other employees to implement the interface specified by a client. It's really quite simple to identify emotional and functional need by matching to some of a finite set of patterns, and then simple for the architect to identify a pattern as a need in the home.
This reminds me of home-made software and the imbalance of power that has been established between the user of the computer and the design of the interface; it's not at all true that people know what they want, or that one specific interface can be prescribed to fit all people. Rather, the user must have access to high level building blocks - or "patterns" - that they compose to make their computer a home.
We spend just as much time with our computers - if not more - than we do with our homes now, and I posit that the interface of the software plays just as pivotal of a role in the experience that someone has navigating their home. How do we build software that allows users to choose high level patterns and adapt their systems when choosing the patterns?
(An aside - it's insane to me that device manufacturers, especially new ones, are able to re-architect new physical interfaces for the devices but have to stick to the same software. This seems like the opposite of the dream of the computer; we're supposed to be able to run and change anything at any time, so why are we stuck using stock Android on every new device? It's so hard to build software that new innovations happen with hardware reinvention rather than software. This is insane.)
noindividual can ever be
This reminds me of many artists trying to express their continuous feeling by adding 24/7 to resonate with the audience, but this length would be impossible. We people tend to say "perfect" or "complete" yet unachievable words often times.
Glare here is not a phenomenon ofliteralbrightness, but rather of the u ninterrupted harshness of monotonous stimulation in wh ich a larger range of responsivecapacities are frozen or neutralized.
I see this as the author making a statement about how the monotony of constant consumption can weaken our capacity for decelerating or "slow looking". It reminds me of how online learning during the pandemic affected my attention span.
fought back by running a write-in campaign for governor of Kansas in 1930, using the slogan “Let’s Pasture the Goats on the Statehouse Lawn.” His campaign was a model of populist appeal;
This kind of reminds me how we have more celebrities running for office these days, like Donald Trump, Kanye West, Dr. Oz, etc.
The program iswritten in Java, but it is pretty clear that it was translated from a language like ML
This reminds me of "I did write some code in Java once, but the code was in C and Lisp (I simply happened to be in Java at the time ;-)".
yet I knew that he was not asleep, from the wide and rigid opening of the eye as I caught a glance of it in profile. The motion of his body, too, was at variance with this idea — for he rocked from side to side with a gentle yet constant and uniform sway.
reminds me of "The Tell tale Heart" and how the narrator watches the old man - Poe's narrators seem to be overly familiar in these situations involving watching others while they sleep
The Grimms' fairy rales, and others .of rhe genre, contain numerousepisodes that children and adults will understand differently
This reminds me of our discussion about humor and the ways in which it can be interpreted. (An adult might find a certain joke funny while a child may just feel confused).
Offered patient brochure
reminds me of the notes doctors take when teh exam patinets
when she greatly desired to return to her own people
This reminds me of Ariel a little bit. Where she wishes she can go back to before? Kind of?
moment of self-realization as a child, when you suddenly realize that you are not the external world or your perceptions, but you are an individual entity perceiving this world, separate from others.
The author definitely captures this hard-to-describe feeling really well. I remember the specific moment this happened for me, but I might be confusing that with the first memories I had. This excerpt reminds me of that one meme about being happy and dumb as a kid until gaining consciousness out of nowhere and life going downhill from there.
fine faith the children had in the wisdom of their teacher was truly marvellous
again reminds me of Freire and how he hated the blind trust students put in teachers.
she herself longed to learn
reminds me of freire and him wanting the teachers to learn with students
the crops needed the boys; and the thin, slovenlymother, whose face was pretty when washed, assured me that Lugene must mind the baby.
This reminds me of Washington's idea of industrial education, for the children miss school in order to work (physical labor).
that but once sincethe war had a teacher been there; that she herself longed to learn,—and thus she ran on, talkingfast and loud, with much earnestness and energy.
This reminds me of the line from Du Bois "The Souls of Black Folk Part I" that mentions "The steady withdrawal of aid from institutions for the higher training of the Negro." This girl longed to learn, yet she lacked an education probably because of Washington's encouragement to give up the pursuit of higher level education for African American youth.
a half-awakened common consciousness
This reminds me of Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed. He speaks quite often about consciousness.
If that is all you and your race ask, take it.
dehumanizing reminds me of Freire
there was in all leadership or attempted leader-ship but the one motive of revolt and revenge
This reminds me of learning about the everyday acts of rebellion among slaves in Traditions/Revolutions. We talked and read about slaves signing, slowing down their work, burning food, etc. as everyday acts of rebellion (anything to make life harder for the plantation owners). We also talked about slaves burning down plantations as an act of rebellion.
It leads some of the best of the critics to unfortunate silence andparalysis of effort, and others toburst into speech so passionatelyand intemperately as to lose listeners.
This reminds me of the reading about the oppressed and some of the reading done in my tradition and revolution class, if someone is constantly pushed down and being oppressed there is always the chance that they could revolt
One of the most fundamental and far-reaching deedsthat has been accomplished during the last quarter of acentury has been that by which the Negro has beenhelped to nd himself and to learn the secrets ofcivilization
This idea of African Americans being able to find themselves reminds me of Garrison's idea that students are in college to find themselves. However, African Americans use to be denied the right to education because many were subjected to slavery for their entire lives. Once slavery was abolished, within "the last quarter of a century" Washington says, African Americans could attempt to seek the education that they were deprived of, and find themselves. Therefore, this also reminds me of Freire's main idea of the oppressed becoming aware of their oppression through education and finally being given the encouragement to use their voices.
Ireceived a great many verbal messages and letters fromparents informing me that they wanted their childrentaught books, but not how to work.
This is interesting, for the parents' desire for their children to be taught books reminds me of Barr's emphasis on teaching the classics to students in school. However, Washington believed it was important to teach students how to work (prepare for the world).
by which the Negro has beenhelped to nd himself and to learn the secrets ofcivilization
OT: This reminds me of Frieres writing about how when one is educated they can use that as a tool to escape oppression.
No race can be lifteduntil its mind is awakened and strengthened.
This reminds me of Freire and his idea that education is an awakening for the oppressed to use their voices.
Think, though,how frequently it is the case that from the rst day that apupil begins to go to school his books teach him muchabout the cities of the world and city life, and almostnothing about the country. How natural it is, then, thatwhen he has the ordering of his life he wants to live it inthe city.
This reminds me of Stringfellow Barr's "Liberal Education: A Common Adventure", students need to be taught a wide array of topics in order to get the most out of their education.
One of the most fundamental and far-reaching deedsthat has been accomplished during the last quarter of acentury has been that by which the Negro has beenhelped to nd himself and to learn the secrets ofcivilization–to learn that there are a few simple, cardinalprinciples upon which a race must start its upwardcourse, unless it would fail, and its last estate be worsethan its rst.
This reminds me of Paulo Friere's main idea in The Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Being a part of an oppressed society makes it hard to be able to express yourself and be successfully outside of the realms of the oppressed system.
liese corwersatioi"isare rooted in the persotial experiences arid valit
This reminds me of an exercise that my Environmental Studies class did in high school in which different groups were tasked with giving a presentation on climate change aimed at different demographics: coal miners, third graders, and high school students. The audience to the presentation (the other students in the class) would pretend to be that audience and ask questions afterwards related to their specific concerns. It really highlighted how the focus depends on audience and how a variety of communication is necessary to reach every audience.
The essence of this comment is that not all information can be absorbed. This is due in part to humans’ limited capacity to process information and, in this case, information presented through visual communication media when combined with an auditory stimulus. In a similar vein, Allen et al.’s (1975) work highlighted the reality that more cognitively capable students were able to process more information through visual communication media and suggested that the media used in education be adapted to the cognitive capacities of individual students. Holliday et al. (1976) worked on finding more practical applications for practitioners seeking to use visual communication media effectively.
This reminds me of teachers using youtube videos to help students get more of a summary in the subject their learning about. I found that when teacher’s preface the subject by showing a youtube video that gives a preview of what we are about to learn makes it more easy to understand what the topic is about. Youtube videos are able to give information in multiple ways, audibly, visually, and in text as well. I think it is a very good way to teach a short subject or just to give a preview or summary for kids.
the good Negro
This reminds me of what Ibram Kendi calls "assimilationists" in Stamped
this is gaurav
on page 5, the report talks about the distinction between the automatic system of thinking and the deliberative system of thinking. this reminds me of the book "thinking, fast and slow," that i read a few years back. the book introduces the reader to these two different types of thinking and then talks about how we use them in our daily lives. by being aware of these systems, we are able to limit the number of rash decisions that we make. perhaps those who are poorer are simply less aware of these sorts of systems, which then results in them not being able to check against this type of thinking as effectively. there are also multiple other behavioural economics books that i have read which may build on my existing understanding, including "nudge," "the power of habit," and "predictably irrational." all these books provide greater insight into why we make the decisions that we do, and why, unconsciously, those who are poorer may tend to make worse decisions in general.
but the time had come for him to know these things.
Reminds me of "call to adventure" in the hero's journey.
The internet reminds us on a daily basis that it is not at all rewarding to become aware of problems that you have no reasonable hope of solving
This quote stuck out to me as daily we see a new problem occur, that us people can't do anything to try and solve/fix the problem that is occurring. Even though I appreciate the people telling us the problems I feel as if they should also provide a solution of the problem instead of just dumping more problems on us.
t is critical to document the nature ofthose failures, and the attempted revisions, as well as the overall results of the experiment.
Reminds me of Productive Failuress https://www.manukapur.com/productive-failure/#:~:text=What%20is%20Productive%20Failure%3F,for%20solving%20complex%2C%20novel%20problems.
for example, invoking the term to describe Twitter’s 140-character limit or the ability to share alink using a tweet button. In a Gibsonian sense, technical features—understood as the furnitureof the digital landscape—afford certain actions such as clicking, sharing, or liking.
This reminds me of the phrase "restrictions breed creativity" and what the concept of affordances might mean for such an idea. Could affordances actually restrict behavior in a way that LOOKS like creativity but is in fact a cognitive reaction to a barrier?
‘Oh, God, if there is a God, I’m lost in this blizzard, and I’m gonna die if you don’t help me.’” And now, in the bar, the religious guy looks at the atheist all puzzled. “Well then you must believe now,” he says, “After all, here you are, alive.” The atheist just rolls his eyes. “No, man, all that was was a couple Eskimos happened to come wandering by and showed me the way back to camp.”
This reminds me of a story where a man stood on the roof during a flood. The water kept rising and he begged to God to help him. 2 times a boat of other survivors came and 2 times he turned it away because God would help him. He died and when he reached heaven he asked God why he didn't help. God replied that the boat had come 2 times to aid him and that he had turned them away. God didn't help the atheist or the man directly so they assumed he didn't help at all. When a different mind might find that God did help, just not in the way they expected.
It was the ideal of “book-learning”; the curiosity, born of compulsory ignorance, to know and test the power of the cabalistic letters of the white man, the longing to know
This part reminds me of the reading by Henry Adams "The Dynamo and the Virgin" for the similar opinion that book-based education fails to teach rather than succeed.
“cradle to career.”
The “cradle to career” label reminds me of capitalism. I think there should be a name that would invoke trust and willingness from the communities to participate in the program. To remove both the stigma of the need to enter the workforce and following the capitalistic belief that we must all work to be successful. We are on the precipice of workers rebelling against their employers (capitalism), i.e. “quiet quitting”; drawing boundaries in the workplace. While others in society question the evangelical nationalism taught in public schools: saying the Pledge of Allegiance and playing/singing the national anthem, the Supreme Court recently ruled that prayer in school is acceptable. Since this article was written 11 years ago, I am curious to know if this program has adapted to these changes in society. Social Innovation addresses social problems such as education within marginalized and oppressed communities. To be inclusive of these groups there must be some accommodation to these revolutionary groups in society. I would suggest “cradle to calling” giving the children an opportunity for career choices and flexibility. I am not very knowledgeable about nonprofit organizations and cross-sector coordination like this program and maybe my thoughts have been addressed. If you had an opportunity to rename the program, what would you choose?
People’s views are strongly influenced by their self-interest but, as you would expect from the behavioural experiments in Unit 4, not totally so. We worry about the effect on others, even complete strangers.
This reminds me of what was brought up in class, the idea of putting one's self interest before the community. This can be shown with the idea of "get right first, then deal with the environmental damages". This is the case for many developing countries, like China and India where they are indeed forgoing the safety of others and the Earth, and instead pursuing individual economic self interest.
"I can go outside and scramble eggs on the sidewalk,"
This reminds me of a video that spread on social media at the beginning of the summer, when a group of young people in one of the countries in the Middle East took to the street and fried eggs on the sidewalk and actually cooked the eggs because of the high temperature.
"I can go outside and scramble eggs on the sidewalk,"
This reminds me of my country Iraq. In the months of June, July, and August the temperature gets above 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
"I can go outside and scramble eggs on the sidewalk,"
This reminds me of my country Iraq. In the months of June, July, and August the temperature exceeds 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
electric bill for July alone was $385
It reminds me of my electric bill for July 2020 it was 400$. I was shocked.
thedigitaldirt,won’tbeasdiscomfitingasitfeelstoday
This reminds me of "cancel culture," in which people are cancelled for mistakes they make instead of being corrected and given a chance to learn from their mistakes. Maybe in the future we will be better at understanding each other as flawed.
preference for short-term solutions
This reminds me of the term 'What You See is All There Is' (WYSIATI) which is used in Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. Kahneman argues (quite convincingly) that the human mind condenses information and attempts to make sense out of what is available. I only bring this up to try and think about the psychology of funders. I can understand why funders might be timid to fund long-term, abstract initiatives. The preference for short-term solutions is due, in part, to the psychology of seeing a problem and feeling the need to immediately provide a quick solution.
the commitment of a group of important actors from different sectors to a common agenda for solving a specific social problem.
This phrasing reminds me of the 'ecosystem approach' that was mentioned during our first zoom lecture. Not taking an isolated approach --> instead looking at all of the populations involved in the community. The connection with collective impact is the focus on mutually beneficial relationships that work to address the core of an issue or problem.
The idea of timeless tribalviolence is not an explanation. Insteadit disguises ignorance of real causes byfilling tile vacuum of real knowledgewith a popular stereotype
This is interesting to me as it reminds me of many racist views towards African Americans today. It makes me think about how preconceived and racist stereotypes and notions of Africans are reflected upon African Americans.
inthe liminal middle stage of a rite of passage, not only are normsand conventions set aside, but all cultural identifiers are dropped
This is an interesting concept. It reminds me of vacations as well. Often, behaviors that wouldn't normally be accepted, are (i.e.: going out to eat for every meal).
rises from behind a rock and looks after them
M'Closky VERY much reminds me of Iago from Othello. Like Iago, he's slimy, conniving, jealous, and violent.
She was goddess because of her force; she was the animated dynamo; she was reproduction–the greatest and most mysterious of all energies; all she needed was to be fecund.
This reminds me of the Paleolithic Era, where women were worshiped and seen as equals. Women were looked at as powerful by being able to reproduce, and therefore were leaders of their communities. When Adams remarks about reproduction being "the greatest and most mysterious of all energies," it further reinstates the correlation between science and religion in this text. Reproduction is a scientific process that humans perform, however the act of creating life is also arguably divine capability.
ne way to measure the size of a eld is to divide it into rectangles and right-angled triangles,
This is extremely intelligent for the people of this time to use a method of such that allows for whole numbers and right angles to measure land. It reminds me of LARCH history class last year when we talked about how the early Americans based street layouts given the complexity of the landscape it resides on. This idea evolved complex street ideas and even simple grid like ideas.
with it the idea of land ownership. One way to measure the size of a eld is to divide it into rectangles and right-angled triangles, both of which haveeasily calculated areas
This idea of the Babylonians trying to split up land ownership with rectangles reminds me of how cities in America were divided when first being built. Places like Manhattan, NY were built on a grid system with avenues splitting up the city East and West.
lives
This ending of this paragraph reminds me of the saying, "History always repeats itself". Studying history will help us look at the mistakes our predecessors made, so that way we don't repeat them.
When it comes to broadcasting, we will see that the same issues of inclusion and exclusion, of fact and fiction, of borders and identities, of empowered and silenced voices that play such a vital role in the making of history also form the significant forces in the development of radio and television.
Right here, this sentence immediately, reminds me of fake news. Even today, we are still drenched with these ideas of fact v fiction. It's almost a shame really.
Hill’s story noted that in 2021 the CyberTipline at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the only entity legally allowed to hold CSAM (NCMEC also manages the PhotoDNA database), “alerted authorities to ‘over 4,260 potential new child victims'”. We don’t know how many of those children were subsequently rescued, but a question worth posing to anyone unilaterally opposed to Google’s approach is how big that number would have to be to have made it worthwhile? But, to return to the original hand, one of those 4,260 potential new child victims was Mark’s son (and another was taken by Cassio, a second father found by Hill caught in the same predicament, for the same reasons): the question for those applauding Google’s approach is how big the number of false positives would have to be to shut the whole thing down?
Do you note that in the first, it's implying that those are true positives? Despite the phrasing being "potential"? The whole problem is that "alerting authorities" to a "potential new child victim" was actually bad and terrible in this case. So having more cases of that would be... worse.
It reminds me of the memes around local journalists ctrl-c ctrl-v ing police statements. If no one is able to establish ground truth, more numbers make things less clear, not clearer.
we tend to believe that what is personally meaningful about theexperience of joining in is shared by everyone else. is is the ‘false consensus bias
I have never heard of this consensus before, but as someone who grew up in an evangelical church, I can absolutely see how this could be true. And, it reminds me of how Professor Davis started class on Thursday with the reading about father and son. He described how even though perhaps neither father or son could have listed out the steps of their nightly ritual, both would know when it was disrupted or changed.
Here the silhouette in paint of a man mowing a lawn. Here, as in aphotograph, a woman bent to pick flowers. Still farther over, their images burned on wood in onetitanic instant, a small boy, hands flung into the air; higher up, the image of a thrown ball, andopposite him a girl, hands raised to catch a ball which never came down.
This reminds me of the photos from the nuclear bombings in 1945. When the bomb detonated the family was all outside. Based off the date that the house announced I can assume it was pretty recent since they were all outside and the children weren't at school so it was probably summer.
“Students are expected to do whatever they’re told, to accommodate themselves to a curriculum that was created by adults who never met them” (3). Sound familiar?
this reminds me of a video i saw a long time ago where it compared this kind of curriculum to an assembly line and something about how instead of setting students up for their unique careers it was solidifying the mindset of doing what you're told, no creativity, etc.
isn't it it's crazy how this little thing can cause so much havoc in our bodies so
I understand the severity of the corona virus and the impact of COVID19, but the plushie is so cute! It reminds me of prions and how I thought they were adorable as well. Is adorability directly related to fatality in virology? I hope not!
connections and conversations can occur on a globalized transcultural ortransnational level, creating empathic experiences and relationships heretoforeunknown in human civilization.
This reminds me of discussions I have had all through middle school, high school, and even college. There seems to often be a debate about whether social media is divisive or whether it fosters connection. While arguments can certainly be made for both, I think social media has evolved to a point where people are ultimately much more disconnected.
from my children inherit,
This line reminds me of "the apple doesn't fall from the tree." People usually assume that you will become a version of your parents/family and it's hard to break free from that stigma, but it's possible with hard work.
女人味(Evie L. Shockley)
The two girls dress up in completely different style, one mature and the other native, which may also represent two different personalities, which reminds me of the painting "famous"
equal parts dairy and diabetes
this is such interesting marketing and reminds me of the gossip girl advertisements that used negative reviews to promote the show to young people
English was shoved down theirthroats.
This reminds me of my mother, when she came to the U.S. she couldn't be understood anywhere unless she spoke english, so she had to learn the language.
When I tell you to sit up straight,
This reminds me of my own elders...but perhaps for a less noble reason...
poem
"I felt like a radio DJ playing records in the middle of the night, unsure if anyone was listening." -- Jon Mooallem (via the post at Marginalian).
I don't recognize his name but somehow, I feel as if I read this story before of one Jon saving the life of another Jon in the wilderness through the reading of poetry to keep the hurt Jon awake. Part of me wonders if I read about it through a piece by Barry Lopez.
And yet here, the story of poetry as life-saving devices resonates through my online feeds, once again, and it reminds me, to address the quote that I pulled out, that maybe there are times when people are listening, and you just need some faith that it is so.
Deep Night by Sonny Clark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GKvPNEkNdw
A child grasps at everything to find out what itmeans. Tosses everything aside again, is restlessly curious and does not know what about.
This is the perfect description of the child mind. Reminds me of how I would act as a child and how my five-year-old brother acts.
Boys destroy whatthey are given, they search for more, unpack the box
100% reminds me of my brother. And a little bit of myself.
same-origin policy makes websites K-selected.
this distinction between K-selected and r-selected esp those images make sense to me. Weeds and trees both depend on their roots and surrounding ecosystem. Chop down a tree the ecosystem goes, cut down a weed it wil grow another shoot. Back to mycelium with mushrooms on top).
That link talks about an r-type space for software dev, which reminds me of a SF book I can't now find back, where some org has a lab where AI runs science dev experiments building ever on top of each other, with frequent patented releases of the result allowing open and free use, and uses this to outcompete corporate efforts while creating an enormous boost in innovation where all build on that.
p ∧ q
This reminds me of when using '&&' for an if condition, both values must be true for the overall value to be true. I think it is interesting to see how different subjects (computer science and mathematics) represent the same idea. Moreover, I find it interesting that the symbols used are different as well.
Annotate Books has added a 1.8-inch ruled margin on every page. The ample space lets you to write your thoughts, expanding your understanding of the text. This edition brings an end to does convoluted, parallel notes, made on minute spaces. Never again fail to understand your brilliant ideas, when you go back and review the text.
This is what we want to see!! The publishing company Annotate Books is republishing classic texts with a roomier 1.8" ruled margin on every page to make it easier to annotate texts.
It reminds me about the idea of having print-on-demand interleaved books. Why not have print-on-demand books which have wider than usual margins either with or without lines/grids/dots for easier note taking and marginalia?
Animals (like the weasel) live in “necessity,” which means that their only goal in life is to survive. They don’t think about how they should live or what choices they should make like humans do. According to Dillard, we like to have options and resist the idea of “necessity.” We fight death—an inevitable force that we have no control over and yet ultimately surrender to it as it is the necessary end of our lives
This reminds me of pragmatic behavior. Despite the fact that we don't have much control over the course of events, the majority of us tend to live pragmatic lives. It might lead to someone falling into a lifelong trap since they only perceive specific outcomes or limited life options. There is no room for expansion.
Our family being now gathered together (those of us that were living
Mentioning families, it reminds me of the constant mentioning of her child in the previous pages. Here, I would like to consider family, or parenthood, another kind of captivity in addition to religious belief and Indian attack. This is because child has deepened her trauma in some ways and added more pressure on her shoulder.
It’s not enough to build empathy - we also have to acknowledge what we know we don’t know (and what we don’t know, we don’t know).
This reminds me of what we were talking about yesterday with acknowledging young people may know more about specific technologies and, of course, more about their lived experience we do. It feels like it has so much more to do with creating something with the user and not just for them.
He turned, made his way to the couch, and collapsed. Grabbing the remote, he switched on the television and navigated to his Netflix account. He found his show. The one that made him feel connected to something. Or at least showed him what real connection felt like. The great irony of it was that these people were actors, acting connected, just like the real world.
People act as if they are connected not that they actually are.
Reminds me of Serial Experiments Lain, "We are all connected" says the 12 year old girl to the man who just killed two people at the night club before turning the gun on himself.
A man sits mournful, his mind in darkness, so daunted in spirit he deems himself ever after fated to endure.
This line reminds me of how many men believe that they have to endure and that they can't let the emotions out. This only causes greater torment and suffering later on.
we look for what is already working
reminds me of IWEWs & NTTs
You know, it’s not really that difficult, but it’s not being taught at all.
Reminds me of my 2008/2010 projects in primary schools on this. I find myself explaining marketing ploys to our 6yo in response to material she sees in print, on billboards, and online. Perhaps I should be doing that more consistently
I thought that electronics was a much finer tool than chemicals for altering consciousness
1968 calling. Chemicals as blunt tool, electronics as potential finer tool. Reminds me of a dinnerconversation with Howard and Judy where someone else, much younger, praised LSD as potential mind expanding tool. J said "You wouldn't say that if like me you'd had spent the late 60s puking your guts out in the bathroom all the time". Bluntness of the chemical tool explained :D
