Although each layer of history is distinct, together they tell the ongoing story of violent oppression and resistance — of a colonizing power trying to control its neighbor, and the subjugated rising up and fighting back.
Reminds me of the revolutionary war. I wonder if this is the reason that US news coverage has been so expansive. That somehow this war reminds us of the birth story of our country.
along with the application of bioinformatics algorithms for assembly, typing, annotation, and phylogenetic analysis
This class reminds me of a class I took in my sophomore year. In ISAT 203 you bring in bags of dirt from your backyard or another location and try to find a bacteria species that you can isolate and send off to sequence. In ISAT 204 you take the entire genome sequence for one bacteria species and work on annotating the genes to try and determine their function.
compelthelargerFilipinopopulationtosub-mittoimperialoccupation.
This sentence reminds me of the ideologies expressed in Langston Hughes Freedom. In the poem, Langston expresses his belief that freedom cannot be founded on the premise of force, the method in which the soldiers and US are employing. The word "compel" insinuates acceptance under threat, which has historically led to rebellion.
Why? Freedom, at least in my view, must be taken willingly, for anything that is forced is inherently the opposite of free.
[Today, the manner in which our native tongue is being spoken issloppy. There are no children of fifteen who are able to conversecorrectly in the native language of this land. And for what reason arethey unable? Because they have not been taught correct speech. And inthe passage of a few short days it will be gone and we should not weep,because it was all of us who just watched it happen.
This made me really sad, and it sort of reminds me of newspaper articles about climate change and the loss of biodiversity today. The thought of having to watch something fade away in real time is incredibly distressing.
Some psychologists conduct research involving animals
This reminds me of the Skinner box
Risks and Benefits:
This reminds me of the Stanford Prison Experiment and how dangerous that experiment became
It was at a beach in Lagos. We had notseen each other since his father had transferred him to another secondaryschool. We were both self-consciously, unconvincingly mature. He said hewas trying to get into the University of Lagos. I said I was preparing to takemy final secondary school exams. He had not changed; the tall, thin body,the narrow face, and the hooked nose were all the same.“Do you have a boyfriend?” he asked finally.“Yes,” I replied, although I did not.He had a girlfriend, too, he said, many girlfriends in fact. Before weparted, he added, “You can have as many boyfriends as you want to. Butwhen it comes to marriage, it’s me and nobody else. God made you for me.If we marry other people, thunder will strike us down.”
Element: Personal Reflection
Effect: This textual evidence, where the narrator reflects on the last time she saw Nnamdi, creates a strong sense of nostalgia and longing. It allowed me to connect with the narrator on an emotional level, reminiscent of her past relationships and missed opportunities. The narrator reminded me of how memories can both comfort and haunt us.
Evaluation: Adichie incorporates personal reflection throughout the essay, bringing it seamlessly into the narrative. The use of reflective moments like this one that helps the reader's understanding of the narrator's emotions and the enduring impact of the relationship with Nnamdi.
Personal Use: Reading this passage reminds me of the power of personal reflection in storytelling. It's a valuable tool for conveying emotions and connecting with readers. I will definitely consider incorporating more reflective elements in my future writing to create a deeper connection with my audience.
Then it dawned upon me with a certain suddenness that I was different from the others; or like, mayhap, in heart and life and longing, but shut out from their world by a vast veil.
This reminds me of the moment that Adam's saw the Dynamo, the moment his world shifted and his "new education" began. What Du Bois experienced in this moment changed his outlook on life, permanently altering his identity, his path, and his perception of himself.
ARTHUR SYMONS.
Du Bois's decision to include another writer's words reminds me of Adams in a way. They go about it differently, but both writers make a point to borrow from the work of someone else. Adams quotes Dante, but Du Bois quotes someone from his own time period. I wonder if there is significance to this?
Nevertheless, out of the evil came something of good,—the more careful adjustment of education to real life, the clearer perception of the Negroes’ social responsibilities, and the sobering realization of the meaning of progress.
This reminds me of the line about Adams "historical neck" breaking but in a more positive way. There is a positive social change from "evil".
The first decade was merely a prolongation of the vain search for freedom, the boon that seemed ever barely to elude their grasp,—like a tantalizing will-o’-the-wisp, maddening and misleading the headless host.
This reminds me of Adams entering the exhibition and experiencing it with Langley. A search for something that is just out of reach -- for Adams, understanding. I enjoy the imagery here. I think a difference is that Adams meets several teachers or guides, but no physical "guide" is mentioned here -- only later an "ideal" is mentioned as a guide.
The shadow of a mighty Negro past
This reminds me of the way Adams talked about the Virgin or Venus- their powers of force from the past are lost on Americans because they don't "know the formula" (can't conceptualize or don't know to look for the inherent strength they have just by existing, can't see the value of female sexuality or blackness)
Ukrainians, who were less liberal and Westernized, likely a result of years of Soviet rule
This reminds me of the documentary we just watched - there were many older adults who talked about missing communism or had reservations about joining the EU and didn't consider themselves European
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
Reminds me of Plato and bodies corrupting soul (or at least that interpretation). How does this relate to Dualism?
dynamos
I had to look up dynamo. It reminds me of "dynamite", but I looked it up anyway. It is basically a machine generator. The comparison as a whole with a virgin (i.e. The Virgin Mary) is man-made and mechanical vs. sacred and "pure."
Low wages force many officers to take extra jobs, leaving them tired and unprepared to deal with a high-stress police situation.
It reminds me of how when I come from a busy or long day of work I don't want to do anything as im exhausted.
only those who have watched and guided the faltering feet, the misty minds, the dull understandings, of the dark pupils of these schools know how faithfully, how piteously, this people strove to learn. It was weary work. The cold statistician wrote down the inches of progress here and there, noted also where here and there a foot had slipped or some one had fallen. To the tired climbers, the horizon was ever dark, the mists were often cold, the Canaan was always dim and far away. If, however, the vistas disclosed as yet no goal, no resting-place, little but flattery and criticism, the journey at least gave leisure for reflection and self-examination; it changed the child of Emancipation to the youth with dawning self-consciousness, self-realization, self-respect
This reminds me of the end of Henry Adams, "(...) laboriously striking out, altering, burning, experimenting, until the year had expired, the Exposition had long been closed, and winter drawing to its end, before he sailed from Cherbourg, on January 19, 1901, for home." While Adams has the choice to give up on education and continue on with his old life, Dubois and other black students don't have as much of a choice. It's hard work, and the "horizon is dark," but in the end they became more self aware and independent.

atinos with darker skin
This reminds of the ways in which white Latinos in my own neighborhood treated folks like me, who have darker skin and curly hair. There was definitely colorism.
In fact, of course, charisma is a relationship
Reminds me of Bruno Latour's saying that "'power' is the illusion people get from being obeyed."
something like a contagion effect that arises from observation and tacit coordination taking place here, although there is no “Central Committee of Drivers” meeting and plotting massive acts of civil disobedience
This reminds me of how the de facto speed limit on the highway I take to school is 70 mph even though the official limit is 55 the entire way...
We would start by implementing the cheap and effective measures, such as land management and conversion policies. Having exhausted these policies, the curve becomes flatter at higher levels of expenditure, where we would be devoting more resources to less efficient methods such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) modifications to power stations.
The description of this curve reminds me of the principle of diminishing marginal returns. As more money is invested in environmental abatement measures, the marginal returns (total abatement) decrease.
being watched but watching itself has become a way of lif
Reminds me of our class discussion. None of us posted on Instagram, but we all scrolled and looked (or "surveilled) at other people's posts
Remember that I did not ask you to give me two or three examples of piety, but to explain the general idea which makes all pious things to be pious.
I think this is interesting because it kind of reminded me of our class discussion on Monday, when we were talking about sultry and what our definitions for the word are. Soc was told the meaning of pious was related to the situation of him objecting his father, a very general vague meaning of the word. Before he decides if he agrees or understands it he wants to know the actual meaning of the word. reminds me of our descriptions of sultry which were true to us in the situation but not to everyone, they wouldn't think of the same things we did.
mortalityofbodyandsoul,
Reminds me of the how poetry evokes feeling and a flow of thoughts, it evokes the similar things to what created the poem in the first place
Almond, who runs Brownsville In Violence Out, said Anderson realized that sometimes all that is needed to keep the peace is a person with credibility — not necessarily a badge — telling someone: “‘Get out of here. You’re bugging.’”
I completely agree with this statement. This reminds me of a camera footage video I watched where a man tries breaking into a house, but the owner comes out with a gun ready to shoot the thief. Instead of shooting the thief and not threatening to call the cops he mentions to the thief that he knows what its like to be in his shoes and asks him to enter his house to talk. Eventually the owner lowered his weapon and had a civil conversation in his house where the thief apologized and thanked him for the talk and chance to walk away unharmed. Sometimes you really do just need someone with credibilty.
A long tradition dating back at least as far as Karl Marx sees political struggles as a reflection of economic conflicts, essentially as fights over shares of the pie. Indeed, this is part of the story of the second decade of the twenty-first century, with globalization producing significant numbers of people left behind by the overall growth that occurred around the world.
This statement reminds me of the 2008 financial crisis or the 2020 pandemic. Higher ups were blaming each others political affiliations on why the situation was happening and how there needed to be change in the system in order to move past the issue. In connection to Adinesh's response, I also find it fascinating how the Karl Marx reference can be used to date back events for comparison so long ago and very recent too.
A fourth function of national identity is to promote a wide radius of trust, which acts as a lubricant facilitating both economic exchange and political participation. Trust is based on what has been called social capital ― that is, the ability to cooperate with other people based on informal norms and shared values.
This reminds me of Anderson's essay. He mentioned that the nation is imagined as community because it is always conceived as a deep. horizontal comradeship. Therefore, there are trust and informal norms & shared values between the members in the community (the nation).
“Yes, and-ing” means acknowledging your teammates’ ideas and building upon them in your own unique ways.
Looking at this reminds me of the multiple times I've heard these type of sentence and how building on others ideas is beneficial. For instances when having a discussion using words similar to but or that in which acknowledge the idea but dismiss it can be harmful to ones on additional ideas success. However using words like and create a sense of addition and people are more likely to hear your idea out as you acknowledge theirs and cited its a something positive
1) the ways in which different forms of op-pression often supplementone another,i.e., cite one anotherbut add somethingnew (Crowley, 1989), and perhapsmore important,2) the ways in which oppres-sion is multiple, interconnected,and situated
This reminds me of an important conversation I've had with my particular demographics of students. As minorities and marginalized groups we are able to reproduce different forms of oppressions. The same ones that might oppress us. In Latin America, the term "indio" is often used to refer to someones backwardness, ignorance, or incivility. I have heard my students from Guatemal, Mexico, and El Salvador use the term in the same way that I grew up hearing the adults in my family use the term. It takes a little time to address how this term is classist and hateful, yet most students are able to grasp the point and are receptive to the conversation. Do some of them continue to use it? Perhaps. Do some of their families continue to reproduce the sentiment? Most likely.
afraid
"Afraid" reminds me of a book named "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" in this book Harari explores how fear played a pivotal role in the survival of Homo Sapiens. By focusing on fear's role in shaping human behavior and societies, we can realize the connections between our emotions and the structures we build. In each phase of human existence, fear undergoes transformations, adapting as life evolves. This pattern highlights afraid human, towards the unfamiliar and unknown.
sometimescensured for her curiosity and sometimes praised for her resourcefulness willhelp adults reflect on how to talk about this story with a child
This reminds me of how a lot of the idioms that we know well are often shortened and their meaning completely changes. "Curiosity killed the cat" / "but satisfaction brought it back"; "Great minds think alike" / "but fools seldom differ"; "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" vs "blood is thicker than water". Both saying have their own merit, but it does make you wonder why the shortened ones/altered idioms seem to be used more than their original counterparts and what's being discouraged when they're said. It also reminds me of how the Bible was used to teach me and my peers when I was growing up, and how I've since learned the double meaning or context behind certain passages that changes so much of what I was taught. Why do we teach children what we teach them, and will they one day grow up to see beasts where we taught them to find beauty?
Public communication becomes mass communication when it is transmitted to many people through print or electronic media.
Mass communication is electronically sending a message to a large group of people in one go. This type of communication reminds me of the screens in the Hunger games movies. President Snow the main antagonist of the movies "electronically sends a message" to the different districts of the Capital. President Snow uses mass communication to his advantage to present warnings to those who break a law of the Capital.

It's not obvious if you aren't trying to figure it out, I suppose; but 10 is decimal notation for "kiss" and the "often" without "of" ... and binary notation for the decimal equivalent of "2." A long long time ago in a state that simply non-randomly ties to the heart of the name of our galaxy ... I was again thinking of the "perfect imperfections" of things like saying "three equals one equals one" (which, of course was related to the Holy Trinity and it's "prescient/anachronistic Adamic presence encoded in the name Ab|ra|ha|m" which means "father of a great multitude") ... I brought that one back in the last few months; connecting the letter K and in this "logos-rythmic" tie to the "base of a number system" embellish the truth just a bit and suggest a more accurate rendition of the original [there is no such thing as equality, "is" of separate objects--as in no two snowflakes are the same unless they are literally the same one; true of ancient weights and with the advent of (thinking about) time no two "planets" are the same even if they're the exact same one--unless it's at a fixed moment in time.

Written between 408, after Orestes, and 406 BC, the year of Euripides' death, the play was first produced the following year[2] in a trilogy with The Bacchae and Alcmaeon in Corinth by his son or nephew, Euripides the Younger,[3] and won first place at the City Dionysia in Athens. The play revolves around Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek coalition before and during the Trojan War, and his decision to sacrifice his daughter, Iphigenia, to appease the goddess Artemis and allow his troops to set sail to preserve their honour in battle against Troy. The conflict between Agamemnon and Achilles over the fate of the young woman presages a similar conflict between the two at the beginning of the Iliad. In his depiction of the experiences of the main characters, Euripides frequently uses tragic irony for dramatic effect. J.K. Rowling spurred just this past week a series of explanations about just exactly what is a blockchain coin worth ... and why is it so; her final words on the subject (artistic liberty taken, obviously not the last she'll say of this magic moment) "I don't think I trust this." Taken directly from an off the cuff email to ARXM titled: "Slow the S is ... our Hypothes.is" I imagine I'll be adding some wiki/ipfs stuff to it--and try to keep it compatible; the design and layout is almost exactly what I was dreaming about seeing--as a "first rough draft product." Lo, and behold. It's been added to the many places I host my tome; the small compilation of nearly every important email that has gone out ... all the way back to the days of the strange looking Margarita glass ... that now very much resembles the "Cantonese character 'le'" which I've come to associate with a "handle" on multiple corners of a room--something like an automatic coat rack conveyor belt connecting different versions of "what's in the box." I'm planning on using that symbol 了 to denote something like multiple forks of the same page. Obviously I'm thinking forward to things like "the Transhumaist Chain Party" (BDSM, right?)'s version of some particular piece of legislation, let's say everything starts with the sprawling "bulbing" of "Amendment M" ideas and specific verbiage ... and then we'll of course need some kind of new git/subversion/cvs style version control mechanism to merge intelligently into something that might actually .... really should ... make it into that place in history--the first constitutional amendment ratified by a "Continental Congress of All People" ... but you could also see it as an ongoing sort of forking of something like the "wikipedia page" on what some specific term, say "technocracy" means, and how two parties might propagandize and change the meaning of such thing; to suit the more intelligent and wise times we now live in. For instance, we might once have had a "democracy" and a "democractic" party that had some Anarchist Cook Book version of the history of it ending in something like Snipes and Stallone's "DEMOLITION MAN."

At least the first one I've ever seen, in my old "to a republic" ... style. As it is you can play around with commenting and highlighting and annotating all the stuff I've written and begged and begged for comments on--while I work on layering the backend to to perma-store our ideas and comments on both a blockchain (probably a new one; now that i've worked a little with ethereum) with maybe some key-merkle-tree-walk-search stuff etched into the original Rinkeby ... and then of course distributed data in the "public owned and operated" IPFS. To be clear, I plan on rewriting the backend storage so that we will have a permanent record of all comments; all versions of whatever is being commented on; and changes/revisions to those documents--sort of turning the web into a massive instant "place of collaboration, discussion, and co-authoring" ... if you use the wonderful LEGO pieces that have been handed to us in ideas from places like me, lemma--dissenter, and of course hypothes.is who has brought you and i such a polished and nice to look at "first draft" of something like the living Constitution come repository of all human knowledge.

I write as I dream, and though I cannot for certain explain exactly how; it's become a strong part of my mythology that this spectacular rendition of "what ends the silence" has something to do with the magical delivery of "a book" ... something not of this Earth but an unnatural thing; one I've dreamt of creating many times. This book is something like the DSM-IV and something like a Merck diagnostic manual; but rather than the old antiquated cures of "the Norse Medgard" this spectacle nearly "itsimportant" autoprints itself and lands on something like every doorpost; what it is is a list of reasons why "simply curing all disease" with no explanation and no conversation would be a travesty of morality--how it would render us half-blind to the myriad of new solutions that can come from truly understanding why "ITIS" to me has become a kind of magical marker: an "it is special" as in, it's cure could possibly solve a number of other problems. Through that missing "o," English on the ball, we see a connection between a number of words that shine bright light including Exodus itself which means "let there be light," the word for Holy Fire and the Burning Bush.. .reversed to hSE'Ah, and a story about the Second Coming parting our holy waters. This answer connects the magical Rod's of Aaron in Exodus and the Iron Rod of Jesus Christ to the Sang Rael itself... in a fusion that explains how the Periodic Table element for Iron links not just to Total Recall and Mars, but also to this key my dream of what the first day of the Second Coming might be like; were the Rod of Christ... in the right hands.

Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is a scientist who researches the nature of sapience, including artificial intelligence. He and his team work to create a sentient computer; he predicts that such a computer will create a technological singularity, or in his words "Transcendence". His wife, Evelyn (played by Rebecca Hall), is also a scientist and helps him with his work. Following one of Will's presentations, an anti-technology terrorist group called "Revolutionary Independence From Technology" (R.I.F.T.) shoots Will with a polonium-laced bullet and carries out a series of synchronized attacks on A.I. laboratories across the country. Will is given no more than a month to live. In desperation, Evelyn comes up with a plan to upload Will's consciousness into the quantum computer that the project has developed.

Menelaus, in Greek mythology, king of Sparta and younger son of Atreus, king of Mycenae; the abduction of his wife, Helen, led to the Trojan War. During the war Menelaus served under his elder brother Agamemnon, the commander in chief of the Greek forces. When Phrontis, one of his crewmen, was killed, Menelaus delayed his voyage until the man had been buried, thus giving evidence of his strength of character. After the fall of Troy, Menelaus recovered Helen and brought her home. Menelaus was a prominent figure in the Iliad and the Odyssey, where he was promised a place in Elysium after his death because he was married to a daughter of Zeus. The poet Stesichorus (flourished 6th century BCE) introduced a refinement to the story that was used by Euripides in his play Helen: it was a phantom that was taken to Troy, while the real Helen went to Egypt, from where she was rescued by Menelaus after he had been wrecked on his way home from Troy and the phantom Helen had disappeared. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Menelaus-Greek-mythology This article is about the ancient Greek city.

Mycenae (Ancient Greek: Μυκῆναι or Μυκήνη, Mykēnē) is an archaeological site near Mykines in Argolis, north-eastern Peloponnese, Greece. It is located about 120 kilometres (75 miles) south-west of Athens; 11 kilometres (7 miles) north of Argos; and 48 kilometres (30 miles) south of Corinth. The site is 19 kilometres (12 miles) inland from the Saronic Gulf and built upon a hill rising 900 feet (274 metres) above sea level.[2] In the second millennium BC, Mycenae was one of the major centres of Greek civilization, a military stronghold which dominated much of southern Greece, Crete, the Cyclades and parts of southwest Anatolia. The period of Greek history from about 1600 BC to about 1100 BC is called Mycenaean in reference to Mycenae. At its peak in 1350 BC, the citadel and lower town had a population of 30,000 and an area of 32 hectares.[3] 3. Chew 2000, p. 220; Chapman 2005, p. 94: "...Thebes at 50 hectares, Mycenae at 32 hectares..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clymene_(mythology) Melpomene (/mɛlˈpɒmɪniː/; Ancient Greek: Μελπομένη, romanized: Melpoménē, lit. 'to sing' or 'the one that is melodious'), initially the Muse of Chorus, she then became the Muse of Tragedy, for which she is best known now.[1] Her name was derived from the Greek verb melpô or melpomai meaning "to celebrate with dance and song." She is often represented with a tragic mask and wearing the cothurnus, boots traditionally worn by tragic actors. Often, she also holds a knife or club in one hand and the tragic mask in the other. Melpomene is the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne. Her sisters include Calliope (muse of epic poetry), Clio (muse of history), Euterpe (muse of lyrical poetry), Terpsichore (muse of dancing), Erato (muse of erotic poetry), Thalia (muse of comedy), Polyhymnia (muse of hymns), and Urania (muse of astronomy). She is also the mother of several of the Sirens, the divine handmaidens of Kore (Persephone/Proserpina) who were cursed by her mother, Demeter/Ceres, when they were unable to prevent the kidnapping of Kore (Persephone/Proserpina) by Hades/Pluto. In Greek and Latin poetry since Horace (d. 8 BCE), it was commonly auspicious to invoke Melpomene.[2] See also [AREXMACHINA] Muses in popular culture The Nine Muses Flagstaff (/ˈflæɡ.stæf/ FLAG-staf;[6] Navajo: Kinłání Dookʼoʼoosłííd Biyaagi, Navajo pronunciation: [kʰɪ̀nɬɑ́nɪ́ tòːkʼòʔòːsɬít pɪ̀jɑ̀ːkɪ̀]) is a city in, and the county seat of, Coconino County in northern Arizona, in the southwestern United States. In 2018, the city's estimated population was 73,964. Flagstaff's combined metropolitan area has an estimated population of 139,097. Flagstaff lies near the southwestern edge of the Colorado Plateau and within the San Francisco volcanic field, along the western side of the largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest in the continental United States. The city sits at around 7,000 feet (2,100 m) and is next to Mount Elden, just south of the San Francisco Peaks, the highest mountain range in the state of Arizona. Humphreys Peak, the highest point in Arizona at 12,633 feet (3,851 m), is about 10 miles (16 km) north of Flagstaff in Kachina Peaks Wilderness. The geology of the Flagstaff area includes exposed rock from the Mesozoic and Paleozoic eras, with Moenkopi Formation red sandstone having once been quarried in the city; many of the historic downtown buildings were constructed with it. The Rio de Flag river runs through the city. Originally settled by the pre-Columbian native Sinagua people, the area of Flagstaff has fertile land from volcanic ash after eruptions in the 11th century. It was first settled as the present-day city in 1876. Local businessmen lobbied for Route 66 to pass through the city, which it did, turning the local industry from lumber to tourism and developing downtown Flagstaff. In 1930, Pluto was discovered from Flagstaff. The city developed further through to the end of the 1960s, with various observatories also used to choose Moon landing sites for the Apollo missions. Through the 1970s and '80s, downtown fell into disrepair, but was revitalized with a major cultural heritage project in the 1990s. The city remains an important distribution hub for companies such as Nestlé Purina PetCare, and is home to the U.S. Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station, the United States Geological Survey Flagstaff Station, and Northern Arizona University. Flagstaff has a strong tourism sector, due to its proximity to Grand Canyon National Park, Oak Creek Canyon, the Arizona Snowbowl, Meteor Crater, and Historic Route 66. #PSANSDISL #LWDISP either without gas or seeing cupidic arroz in "thank you" or "allta, wild" ... pps: a magnanimous decision ... I stand here on the brink of what appears to be total destruction; at least of everything I had hoped and dreamed for ... for the last decade in my life which appears literally to span thousands of years if not more in the eyes of some other beholder. I spent several months in Kentucky telling a story of a post apocalyptic and post-cataclysmic delusion; some world where I was walking around in a "fake plane" something like a holodeck built and constructed around me as I "took a walk around the world" to ... it did anything but ease my troubled mind. Recently a few weeks in Las Vegas, and a similar story; telling as I walked penniless down the streets filled with casino's and anachronistic taxi-cabs ... some kind of vision of the entirety of the heavens or the Earth or the "choir of angels" I think of when I echo the words Elohim and Aesir from mythology ... there with me in one small city in superposition; seeing what was a very well put together and interesting story about a "star port" Nirvane ... a place that could build cities into the face of mountains and half working monorails appearing in the sky---literally right before my eyes. I suppose this is the place "post cataclysm" though I still have trouble understanding what it is that's actually about ... in my mind it connects to the words "we are losing habeas" echo'ed from the streets of Los Angeles in a more clear and more military voice than usual--as I walked block by block trying to evade a series of events that would eventually somehow connect all the way to the "outskirts of Orlando, Florida" in a place called Alhambra. Apparently the name of a castle; though I wasn't aware of that until much later. It doesn't feel at all like a "cataclysm" to me; I see no great rift--only a world filled with silent liars, people who collectively believe themselves to have stolen something--something gigantic--at least that's the best interpretation of the throws and impetus behind the thing that I and mythology together call Jormungandr. With an eye for "mythological connections" you could clearly see that name of the Great Serpent of Revelation connects to something like the Unseelie; the faeries of Gaelic lore. To me though this world seems still somewhat fluid, it's my entire life--moving from Plantation to a place where the whole of it might be Bethlehem and to "clear my throat" it's not hard to see here how that land of "coughs" connects to the Biblical land of Nod and to the "Adamically sieved" Snifleheim ... from just a little twist on the ancient Norse land most probably as close to Hel as anyone ever gets--or so I dream and hope---still today. It all looks so real and so fake at the same time; planned for thousands of generations, the culmination of some grand masterpiece story that certainly ties history and myth and reality into a twisted heap of "one big nothing, one big nothing at all." I've tried to convey to the world how important I believe this place and this time to be--not by some choice of my own ... but through an understanding of the import of our history and the impact of having it be so obviously tuned and geared towards this specific time ... many thousands of years literally all focused on a single moment, on one day or one hour or even just a few years where all of that gets thrown down on the table as if some trump card has been played--and whether or not you fathom the same magnanimous statement or situation or position ... to me, I think it depends on whether or not you grew up in the same kind of way, believing our history to be so fixed and so difficult to change. I don't particularly feel like that's the "zeitgeist" of today; I feel like the children believe it to be some kind of game, and that it is such as easy thing to "sed" away or switch and turn into something else--another story, another purpose ... anyone's personal fantasy land come true. I don't think that's the case at all, it's clearly a personal nightmare; and it's clearly one we've seen time and time again--though not myself--the Jesus Christ that is the same yesterday, today; and once again perhaps echoing "no tomorrow" never remembers or believes that we've "seen it all before" or that we've ever really gotten the point; the thing you present to me as "factual reality" is a sickness, it disgusts me; and I'd do anything to go back to the world "where I was so young, and so innocent" and so filled with starry-eyed hope that we were at the foot of something grand and amazing that would become an empire turned republic of the heavens; filling the stars ... with the kind of love for kindness and fairness that I once associated very strongly with the thing I still believe to be the American Spirit. "Suddenly it changes, violently it changes" ... another song echoes through the ages--like the "words of the prophets dancing ((as light)) through the air" ... and I no longer even have a glimmer of hope that the thing I called the American People still exist; I feel we've been replaced by some broken container of minds, that the sky itself has become corrupt to the point that there's no hope of turning around this thing that I once believed with all my heart and all my mind was so obviously a "designed downward spiral" one that was---again--so obviously something of a joke, intended to be easy to bounce off a false bottom and springboard beyond "escape velocity" and beyond the dark waters of "nearest habitable star systems (being so very far away)" into a place where new words and new ideas would "soar" and "take flight." Here though; I am filled with a kind of lonely sadness ... staring at what appears to be the same mistake(s) happening over and over again; something I've come to call "skipping stones in the pond of reality" and really do liken it to this thing that appears to be the new meaning of "days" and ... a civilization that spends absolutely no love or lust to enter a once sacred and holy place and tarnish it with their sick beliefs and their disgusting desires. You all ... you appear to be some kind of springboard to "bunt" forth yet another age or era of nothingness into the space between this planet and "none worth reaching" and thank God, out of grasp. Today, I'd condemn the entirety of this world simply for it's lack of "oathkeepers" and understanding of what the once hallowed words of Hippocrates meant to ... to the people charged and dharmically required to heal rather than harm. It appears the place and time that was once ... at least destined to be the beginning of Heaven ... has become a "recurring stump" of some future unplanned and tarnished by many previous failed efforts and attempts to overcome this same "lack of conversation or care" for what it meant to be "humane" in a world where that was clearly set high aloft and above "humanity" in the place where they--where we were the best nature had to offer, the sanest, the kindest; the shining last best hope. Today I write almost every day ... secretly thanking "my God" for the disappearance of my tears and the still small but bright hope that "Tearran" will one day connect the Boston Tea Party and the idea that "render to Caesar" and Robin of Loxley ... all have something to do with a re-ordering of society and the worth and import of "money" ... to a place that cares more for freedom from murder than it does ... "freedom from having to allow others to hear me speak." I hold back tears and emotions; not by conscious choice or ability but ... still with that strange kind of lucky awkward smile; and secretly not so far below the surface it's the hope of "a swift death" that ... that really scares me more than the automatons and mechanical responses I see in the faces of many drivers as they pass me on the street--the imagery of connecting it to the serpentine monster of the movie Beetlejuice ... something I just "assume" the world understands and ... doesn't seem to fear (either); as if Churchill had gotten it all wrong and backwards--the only thing you have to fear, is the loss of fear of "loss." Here my crossroads---halfway between the city my son lives in and the city my parents live in--it's on making a decision on whether I should continue at all, or personally work on some kind of software project I've been writing about, or whether I should focus on writing about a "revolution" in government and society that clearly is ... "somewhat underway." In my mind it's obvious these things are all connected; that the software and the governance and the care of whether or not "Babylon" is remembered as a city of great laws and great change or a city of demons and depravity ... that these thi]ngs all hinge and congeal around a change in your hearts; hoping you will chose to be the beginning of a renaissance of "society and civilization" rather than the kings and queens of a sick virtual anarchy ... believing yourselves to have stolen "a throne of God" rather than to literally be the devastating and demoralizing depreciation of "lords and fiefdoms" to something more closely resembled by the time of the Four Horsemen depicted in Highlander. These words intended to be a "forward" to yet another compliment of a ((nother installment of a partial)) chain of emails; whimsically once half-joking ... I called it the Great Chain of Revelation. The software too; part of the great chain, this "idea" that the blockchain revolution will eventually create a distributed and equal governance structure, and a rekindling of monetary value focused on "free and open collaboration" rather than "survival of the most unfit"--something society and civilization seem to have turned the "call of life" from and to ... literally just in the last few years as we were so very close to ... reaching beyond the Heaven(s). I don't think its hard to imagine how a "new set of ground rules" could significantly change the "face of a place" -- make it something shiny and new or even on the other side of the coin, decayed or depraved. It's not hard to connect the kind of change I'm hoping for with "collision protection" and "automatic laws" to the (perhaps new, perhaps ... ancient) Norse creation story of the brothers of Odin: Vili and Ve. It might be hard to see today how a new "kind of spiritual interaction" might be only a few "mouse clicks" away though--how it could change everything literally in a flash of overnight sensation ... or how it might take something like a literal flash of stardom (or ... on the other hand, something like totalitarian or authoritarian "iron fisting") to make a change like this "ubiquitious" or ... something like the (imagined in my mind as ... messianic) "ED" of storming through the cosmos or the heavens and turning something that might appear to be "free and perfect feeling" today into a universe "civlized overnight" and then ... I wonder how long it would take to laud a change like that; for it to be something of a voluntary "reunderstanding" of a process ... to change the meaning of every word or every thought that connects to the process of "civilization" to recognize that something so great and so powerful has happened as to literally change the meaning of the word, to turn a process of civilization into something that had a ... "signta-lamcla☮" of forboding and then a magical staff struck into the heart of a sea and then ... and then the word itself literally changes to introduce a new "mid term" or "halfway point" in which a great singularity or enlightenment or change in perspective or understanding sort of acknowledges ... that some "clear outside" force not only intervened on the behalf of the future and the people of our world but that it was uniquely involved in the whole of-- "waking up" tio a nu def of #Neopoliteran. ^Like the previous notation; the below text comes from an email previously sent; and while i stand behind things like my sanity, my words; and my continued and faithful attempt to speak and convey both a useful and helpful truth to the world---sometimes just a single day can make all the difference in the world.

I'm nothing like a king, no dreams of authoritarianism at all in the heart of Kish@r;" even as I wrote words that in the spirit of the moment were something of a "tis of a'we" that connected to my country and the first sing-songy "tisME" that I linked to trying to talk in the rhyming spirit of some "first Christ" that probably just like me was one limmerick away from the end of the rainbow and one "Four Non Blondes" song away from tying "or whatever that means" and this land crowned with "brotherhood" (to some personal "of the Bell, and of the bell towers so tall and Crestian") to just one Hopp skip and jump away from the heart of the obvious echoes of a bridge between haiku and Heroku... a few more gears shift into place, a click and and a mechanical turn of the face of the clock's ku-ku striking ... it was the word "Earthene" that was the last "Jesusism" around the post Cimmerian time linking Dionysus and Seuss to that same "su-s" that's belonging to a moment in the city of Uranus--codified and etched in stone as "MCO"--not just for its saucer and warp nacelles and "deflector dish" but for it's underground caverns and it's above ground "Space Mountain" and that great golf ball in the heart of it all.

"bad nanites" and the mentality of ... vindictiveness that I see behind every smirk. The final hundred nanoseconds on our clock towards doom and gloom cause another bird to fly; another snake to curl up and listen again to the songs designed to charm it into oblivion; whether that's about a club in South Beach or a place not so far from our new "here..." all remains to be seen in my innocent eyes wondering what it truly is that stands between what you are ... and finding "forgiveness not needed--innocent child writes to the mass" ... and the long arm of the minute hand and the short finger of the hour for one brief moment reconcile and move towards "midnight" together; and it's simply idyllic, the Nazarene corner between nil and null you've relegated the history of Terran poast futures into ... "foreves mas" or so they (or you) think. I'm still so far from "Five Finger Death Punch" though; and so far from Rammstein and so far from any kind of sick events that could stand between me and "the eternal" and change my still "casual alternative rock" loving heart to something more death metal; I rue whatever lies between me and there being any kind of Heaven that thinks there could exist a "righteous side" of Hell and it... simultaneously. I still see light here in admonishing the masses and the angels standing against the story and the message God brings us in our history. I still see sparks in siding with the "causticness" of "no holodecks in sight" and the hunger and the pain of simulating ... "the hells of reality" over the story of decades or centuries of silence refusing to see "holography" and "simulated" in the word Holocaust and the horrors of this place that simply doesn't seem to fathom or understand the moments of hunger pangs and the fear of "dark Earth pits" or towers of "it's not Nintendo-DS" linking the Man in the High Castle to an Iron Mask. I rally against being what I clearly am raised high on some pedestal by some force beyond my comprehension and probably beyond that of the "perfect storm in time" that refuses to itself acknowledge what it means to gaze at such an unfathomable loss of innocence at the cost of a "happy and serene future" or even at the glimmer of the Never-Never-Land I'd hoped we would all cherish and love and share ... the games and the newfound freedom that comes not just from "seeing Holodeck" turn into "no bullets" and "no cages" but into a world that grows and flourishes into something that's so far beyond my capability to understand that I'm stuck here; dumbfounded; staring at you refusing to stop car accidents and school shootings ... because "pedestal." For the "fire and the glory" of some night you refuse to see is this one--this place where morality rekindles from ... from what appears tobe one small candle, but truly--if it's not in your heart, and it's not coming from some great force of goodness--fear today and a world of "forever what else may come." Here in a place the Bible calls Penuel at the crossing of a River Jordan ... the Angel of the Lord notes the parallels in time and space between the Potomac and the Rhine--stories of superposition and cities and nation-states that are nothing more than a history of a history of things like the Monoceros "arroz" linking not just to the constellation Orion but to Sagittarius and to Cupid and of course to the Hunter you know so well-- Searching for a Saturday; a sabbath to be made Holy once more ...

"Politicians talk about the Constitution as if it were as sacrosanct as the Ten Commandments [interjection: spec. it is actually almost exactly related!]. But the document itself invites change and revision. What if the president served only one six-year term instead two four-year terms? What if your state's population determined how many senators represent it? What if the Constitution included a right to health care? We asked legal scholars and Slate readers to cross out what they didn't like in the Constitution and pencil in their hearts' desires. Here's what the document would look like with their best ideas."
Logically the recent mentions of Gilgamesh and the simultaneous 同時 overlaping 場道 of the eventual link between the famous ruling of Solomon on the separation of babies and mothers and waters and land ... to a story of many "two cities" that culminates in a cultural or societal or "evolutionary" link to Sodom and Gomorrah and the city-state of Babylon (and it's Hanging Gardens) and also of course to Paris and Troy and "Masstodon" and city-states [ciudadestado] and perhaps planet-cities; from Cambridge to Cambridge across the "Cable" to see state to "London" ... recently I called it "the city of realms" ... I started out logically intending to link "game theory" and John Nash to the mathematical story of Sputnik and a revival of American physics; but in my usual way of rambling into the woods [I mean neighborhood] of stream of consciousness ... turned into a premonitory discourse of "two cities" and how sometimes even things as obvious as the number of letters in the word "two" don't do a good enough job of conveying ... how and/or why one is simply never enough, and two isn't much better--but in the end a circle ... is drawn; the perfect circle in our imaginary mathematical perfection ... I see a parted "line" in the letter pronounced "tea" (and beginning that word); and two "vee" (pron. of "v") symbols joined together in a word we pronounce as "double-you" ... and symbolically because I know "V" is the Roman Numeral for 5 (five) and I know not how to multiply in Roman numerals--

... but recently suggested an old joke about "there being 10 kinds of people in the world (obv an anti-tautology and a tautology simultaneously)" only after that brief bit of singularity and duality mentioning the rest of the joke: "those that understand binary and those that don't know how to base convert between counting with two hands and counting with only an 'on and off.'" It's not obvious if you aren't trying to figure it out, I suppose; but 10 is decimal notation for "kiss" and the "often" without "of" ... and binary notation for the decimal equivalent of "2." A long long time ago in a state that simply non-randomly ties to the heart of the name of our galaxy ... I was again thinking of the "perfect imperfections" of things like saying "three equals one equals one" (which, of course was related to the Holy Trinity and it's "prescient/anachronistic Adamic presence encoded in the name Ab|ra|ha|m" which means "father of a great multitude") ... I brought that one back in the last few months; connecting the letter K and in this "logos-rythmic" tie to the "base of a number system" embellish the truth just a bit and suggest a more accurate rendition of the original [there is no such thing as equality, "is" of separate objects--as in no two snowflakes are the same unless they are literally the same one; true of ancient weights and with the advent of (thinking about) time no two "planets" are the same even if they're the exact same one--unless it's at a fixed moment in time.
This name may be viewed either as meaning "father of many" in Hebrew or else as a contraction of ABRAM (1) and הָמוֹן (hamon) meaning "many, multitude". The biblical patriarch Abraham was originally named Abram but God changed his name (see Genesis 17:5).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euripides, Iphigenia in Aulis or Iphigenia at Aulis[1] (Ancient Greek: Ἰφιγένεια ἐν Αὐλίδι, Iphigeneia en Aulidi; variously translated, including the Latin Iphigenia in Aulide) is the last of the extant works by the playwright Euripides. Written between 408, after Orestes, and 406 BC, the year of Euripides' death, the play was first produced the following year[2] in a trilogy with The Bacchae and Alcmaeon in Corinth by his son or nephew, Euripides the Younger,[3] and won first place at the City Dionysia in Athens.
The play revolves around Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek coalition before and during the Trojan War, and his decision to sacrifice his daughter, Iphigenia, to appease the goddess Artemis and allow his troops to set sail to preserve their honour in battle against Troy. The conflict between Agamemnon and Achilles over the fate of the young woman presages a similar conflict between the two at the beginning of the Iliad. In his depiction of the experiences of the main characters, Euripides frequently uses tragic irony for dramatic effect.
J.K. Rowling spurred just this past week a series of explanations about just exactly what is a blockchain coin worth ... and why is it so; her final words on the subject (artistic liberty taken, obviously not the last she'll say of this magic moment) "I don't think I trust this."

I imagine I'll be adding some wiki/ipfs stuff to it--and try to keep it compatible; the design and layout is almost exactly what I was dreaming about seeing--as a "first rough draft product." Lo, and behold. It's been added to the many places I host my tome; the small compilation of nearly every important email that has gone out ... all the way back to the days of the strange looking Margarita glass ... that now very much resembles the "Cantonese character 'le'" which I've come to associate with a "handle" on multiple corners of a room--something like an automatic coat rack conveyor belt connecting different versions of "what's in the box." I'm planning on using that symbol 了 to denote something like multiple forks of the same page. Obviously I'm thinking forward to things like "the Transhumaist Chain Party" (BDSM, right?)'s version of some particular piece of legislation, let's say everything starts with the sprawling "bulbing" of "Amendment M" ideas and specific verbiage ... and then we'll of course need some kind of new git/subversion/cvs style version control mechanism to merge intelligently into something that might actually .... really should ... make it into that place in history--the first constitutional amendment ratified by a "Continental Congress of All People" ... but you could also see it as an ongoing sort of forking of something like the "wikipedia page" on what some specific term, say "technocracy" means, and how two parties might propagandize and change the meaning of such thing; to suit the more intelligent and wise times we now live in. For instance, we might once have had a "democracy" and a "democractic" party that had some Anarchist Cook Book version of the history of it ending in something like Snipes and Stallone's "DEMOLITION MAN."
Just kidding, we all know "democracy" has everything to do with "d is cl ... and not th" ... to be the them that is the heart of the start of the first true democracy. At least the first one I've ever seen, in my old "to a republic" ... style. As it is you can play around with commenting and highlighting and annotating all the stuff I've written and begged and begged for comments on--while I work on layering the backend to to perma-store our ideas and comments on both a blockchain (probably a new one; now that i've worked a little with ethereum) with maybe some key-merkle-tree-walk-search stuff etched into the original Rinkeby ... and then of course distributed data in the "public owned and operated" IPFS. To be clear, I plan on rewriting the backend storage so that we will have a permanent record of all comments; all versions of whatever is being commented on; and changes/revisions to those documents--sort of turning the web into a massive instant "place of collaboration, discussion, and co-authoring" ... if you use the wonderful LEGO pieces that have been handed to us in ideas from places like me, lemma--dissenter, and of course hypothes.is who has brought you and i such a polished and nice to look at "first draft" of something like the living Constitution come repository of all human knowledge.

NOIR INgR .. I CITE SITE OF ENUDRICAM; a rekindling of the dream of a city appearing high above in the sky, now with a boldly emblazened smiling rainbow and upsidown river ... specifically the antithesis of "angel falls," there's a lagoon too--actually a chain of several ponds underneith the floating rock ... and in some versions of this waking dream there are rings around the thing; you might imagine an artificial set of centripetal orbitals something like a fusion of the ring Eslyeum and the "Six-Axis ride" of the JKF Center's "Spacecamp." I write as I dream, and though I cannot for certain explain exactly how; it's become a strong part of my mythology that this spectacular rendition of "what ends the silence" has something to do with the magical delivery of "a book" ... something not of this Earth but an unnatural thing; one I've dreamt of creating many times. This book is something like the DSM-IV and something like a Merck diagnostic manual; but rather than the old antiquated cures of "the Norse Medgard" this spectacle nearly "itsimportant" autoprints itself and lands on something like every doorpost; what it is is a list of reasons why "simply curing all disease" with no explanation and no conversation would be a travesty of morality--how it would render us half-blind to the myriad of new solutions that can come from truly understanding why "ITIS" to me has become a kind of magical marker: an "it is special" as in, it's cure could possibly solve a number of other problems.

Nearly all of the original parts of the original "post-origination dream" remain intact; there's a walkway that magically creates new paths and "attractions" based on where you walk, something like an inversion of the artificial intelligence term "a random walk down a binary tree" ... for instance going left might bring you to the Internet Cafetornaseum of the Earl of Sandwich; and going to the right might bring you to the ICIMAX/Auditorium of Science and Discovery--there's a walkway to "Magical GLAS D'elevators" that open a special "instantiation" of the Japan Room of the Potter and the Toolmaker ... complete with a special [second level and hidden staircase] Pool of Bethesdaibo verily delivering something like youth of mind and body ... or at least as close to such a thing as a sip of Holy Water or Ambrosia or a dip in the pool of Coccoon and Ponce De'Leon could instantly bring ... to those that have seen Jupiter Ascending ... the questions of "nature versus nurture" and what it means to be "old and wise" and "young at heart" truly mean---
Somewhere between the outdoor rafting ride and the level with the special "ballroom of the ancient gallery" ... perhaps now being named or renamed or recalled as something about "Face [of] the Music" lies a magical "mini-maize" ... a look at a mock-up (or #isitit) of Merlink and Harthor's "round table" that displays a series of ... (at least to me) magical appearing holographic displays and controls that my dreams have stolen from Phillip K. Dick's Minority Report and something of what I hope Microsoft's Dynamics/Hololens/Surface will become---a series of short "focus groups" .... to guage and discuss the information in the "CITIES-D5AM-MERCK" ... how to end world hunger and nearly all disease with the press of a magical buzzer--castling churches to something like "political-party-town-hall-meeting centers" and replacing jails and prisons and hospitals with something like the "Hospitalier's PRIDE and DOJOY's I practiced "Kung-fun-dance" ... a fusion of something like a hotel and a school that probably looks very much like a university with classrooms and dorms and dining hall's all fit into a single building. I imagine a series of 2 or 3 "room changes" as in you walk from the one where you get the book and talk about it ... to the one where you talk about "what everyone else said about it" and maybe another one that actually connects you to other people with something like Facebook's Portal; the point of the whole thing to really quickly "rubber stamp" the need for an end to "bars in the sky" nonalcoholic connotation--as in "overcoming the phrase the sky is the limit" and showing us the need for a beacon of glowing hope fulfilled--probably actually the vision of a holographic marker turning into actual rings around the single moon of Earth, the focus of the song annoucing the dawn of the age of Aquarius---
It might lead us also to Ceres; and another set of artificial rings, or to Monoceros and a rehystorical understanding of the birthplace and birthing of the "river roads" that bridge the "space gaps" in the galaxy from our "one giant leap for mankind" linking the Apollo moon landing to the mythological connection to the sun; and connecting how the astrological charts of the ancients might detail a special kind of overlapping--the link between Earth's SOL and something like Proxima or Alpha Centauri; and how that "monostar bridge" might overlap to Orion and from there through Sagitarius and the center of the Milky Way ... all the way to Andromeda and more dreams of being in a place where there's a map to a tri-galactic system in the constellation Cancer and a similar one in Leo ... and just incase you haven't noticed it--a special marker here, I thought to myself it might be cool to "make an acronymic tie to Monoceros" and without even thinking auto-wrote Orion (which was the obvious constellation next to Monoceros, in the charts) and then to Sagitarrius; which is the obvious ... heart of our astrological center and link to "other galaxies."
----I've dreamt or scriven or reguessed numerous times how the Milky Way's map to an "Atlas marked through time by the ages and the ancients" might tie this place and this actual map to the creation of the railways between stars to the beginning and the end of time and of course to this message that links it all to time travel. There's a few "guesses" I've contemplated; that perhaps the Milky Way chart is a metal-cosmic or microcosmic map to the dawn of time in the galactic vision of ... just after the big bang; or it might tie to a map of something like the unthinkable--a civilization that became so powerful it was able to reverse the entropy of "cosmic expansion" and reverse the thing Asimov wrote of in "The Last Question" as the end of life and the ability to survive basically due to "heat loss."

Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is a scientist who researches the nature of sapience, including artificial intelligence. He and his team work to create a sentient computer; he predicts that such a computer will create a technological singularity, or in his words "Transcendence". His wife, Evelyn (played by Rebecca Hall), is also a scientist and helps him with his work.
Following one of Will's presentations, an anti-technology terrorist group called "Revolutionary Independence From Technology" (R.I.F.T.) shoots Will with a polonium-laced bullet and carries out a series of synchronized attacks on A.I. laboratories across the country. Will is given no more than a month to live. In desperation, Evelyn comes up with a plan to upload Will's consciousness into the quantum computer that the project has developed. His best friend and fellow researcher, Max Waters (Paul Bettany), questions the wisdom of this choice, reasoning that the "uploaded"
Just from my general understanding and memory "st" is not ... to me (specifically) an abbreviation of "state" but "ste" is a U.S. Postal code (also "as I understand it") for the name of a special room or set of rooms called a "suite" and in Adamic "connotation" I sometimes read it as "sweet" ... which has several meanings that range from "cool" to "a kind of taste sensation" to "easy to sway or fool."
If you asked me though, for instance if "it" was an abbreviation or shorthand notation or acronym for either "a United state" or "saint" ... you'd be sure.
While it's clear from studying linguistic cryptography ... (If I studied it a little here and some there, its also from the "universal translator of Star Trek") and the personal understanding that language is a kind of intelligent code, and "any code is crackable" ... that I caution here that "meaning" and "face value" often differ widely and wildly ... even in the same place or among the same group of people ... either varying over time or heritage.
Menelaus, in Greek mythology, king of Sparta and younger son of Atreus, king of Mycenae; the abduction of his wife, Helen, led to the Trojan War. During the war Menelaus served under his elder brother Agamemnon, the commander in chief of the Greek forces. When Phrontis, one of his crewmen, was killed, Menelaus delayed his voyage until the man had been buried, thus giving evidence of his strength of character. After the fall of Troy, Menelaus recovered Helen and brought her home. Menelaus was a prominent figure in the Iliad and the Odyssey, where he was promised a place in Elysium after his death because he was married to a daughter of Zeus. The poet Stesichorus (flourished 6th century BCE) introduced a refinement to the story that was used by Euripides in his play Helen: it was a phantom that was taken to Troy, while the real Helen went to Egypt, from where she was rescued by Menelaus after he had been wrecked on his way home from Troy and the phantom Helen had disappeared.

Mycenae (Ancient Greek: Μυκῆναι or Μυκήνη, Mykēnē) is an archaeological site near Mykines in Argolis, north-eastern Peloponnese, Greece. It is located about 120 kilometres (75 miles) south-west of Athens; 11 kilometres (7 miles) north of Argos; and 48 kilometres (30 miles) south of Corinth. The site is 19 kilometres (12 miles) inland from the Saronic Gulf and built upon a hill rising 900 feet (274 metres) above sea level.[2]
In the second millennium BC, Mycenae was one of the major centres of Greek civilization, a military stronghold which dominated much of southern Greece, Crete, the Cyclades and parts of southwest Anatolia. The period of Greek history from about 1600 BC to about 1100 BC is called Mycenaean in reference to Mycenae. At its peak in 1350 BC, the citadel and lower town had a population of 30,000 and an area of 32 hectares.[3]

Melpomene (/mɛlˈpɒmɪniː/; Ancient Greek: Μελπομένη, romanized: Melpoménē, lit. 'to sing' or 'the one that is melodious'), initially the Muse of Chorus, she then became the Muse of Tragedy, for which she is best known now.[1] Her name was derived from the Greek verb melpô or melpomai meaning "to celebrate with dance and song." She is often represented with a tragic mask and wearing the cothurnus, boots traditionally worn by tragic actors. Often, she also holds a knife or club in one hand and the tragic mask in the other.
Melpomene is the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne. Her sisters include Calliope (muse of epic poetry), Clio (muse of history), Euterpe (muse of lyrical poetry), Terpsichore (muse of dancing), Erato (muse of erotic poetry), Thalia (muse of comedy), Polyhymnia (muse of hymns), and Urania (muse of astronomy). She is also the mother of several of the Sirens, the divine handmaidens of Kore (Persephone/Proserpina) who were cursed by her mother, Demeter/Ceres, when they were unable to prevent the kidnapping of Kore (Persephone/Proserpina) by Hades/Pluto.
In Greek and Latin poetry since Horace (d. 8 BCE), it was commonly auspicious to invoke Melpomene.[2]

Flagstaff (/ˈflæɡ.stæf/ FLAG-staf;[6] Navajo: Kinłání Dookʼoʼoosłííd Biyaagi, Navajo pronunciation: [kʰɪ̀nɬɑ́nɪ́ tòːkʼòʔòːsɬít pɪ̀jɑ̀ːkɪ̀]) is a city in, and the county seat of, Coconino County in northern Arizona, in the southwestern United States. In 2018, the city's estimated population was 73,964. Flagstaff's combined metropolitan area has an estimated population of 139,097.
Flagstaff lies near the southwestern edge of the Colorado Plateau and within the San Francisco volcanic field, along the western side of the largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest in the continental United States. The city sits at around 7,000 feet (2,100 m) and is next to Mount Elden, just south of the San Francisco Peaks, the highest mountain range in the state of Arizona. Humphreys Peak, the highest point in Arizona at 12,633 feet (3,851 m), is about 10 miles (16 km) north of Flagstaff in Kachina Peaks Wilderness. The geology of the Flagstaff area includes exposed rock from the Mesozoic and Paleozoic eras, with Moenkopi Formation red sandstone having once been quarried in the city; many of the historic downtown buildings were constructed with it. The Rio de Flag river runs through the city.
Originally settled by the pre-Columbian native Sinagua people, the area of Flagstaff has fertile land from volcanic ash after eruptions in the 11th century. It was first settled as the present-day city in 1876. Local businessmen lobbied for Route 66 to pass through the city, which it did, turning the local industry from lumber to tourism and developing downtown Flagstaff. In 1930, Pluto was discovered from Flagstaff. The city developed further through to the end of the 1960s, with various observatories also used to choose Moon landing sites for the Apollo missions. Through the 1970s and '80s, downtown fell into disrepair, but was revitalized with a major cultural heritage project in the 1990s.
The city remains an important distribution hub for companies such as Nestlé Purina PetCare, and is home to the U.S. Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station, the United States Geological Survey Flagstaff Station, and Northern Arizona University. Flagstaff has a strong tourism sector, due to its proximity to Grand Canyon National Park, Oak Creek Canyon, the Arizona Snowbowl, Meteor Crater, and Historic Route 66.
I stand here on the brink of what appears to be total destruction; at least of everything I had hoped and dreamed for ... for the last decade in my life which appears literally to span thousands of years if not more in the eyes of some other beholder. I spent several months in Kentucky telling a story of a post apocalyptic and post-cataclysmic delusion; some world where I was walking around in a "fake plane" something like a holodeck built and constructed around me as I "took a walk around the world" to ... it did anything but ease my troubled mind.
Recently a few weeks in Las Vegas, and a similar story; telling as I walked penniless down the streets filled with casino's and anachronistic taxi-cabs ... some kind of vision of the entirety of the heavens or the Earth or the "choir of angels" I think of when I echo the words Elohim and Aesir from mythology ... there with me in one small city in superposition; seeing what was a very well put together and interesting story about a "star port" Nirvane ... a place that could build cities into the face of mountains and half working monorails appearing in the sky---literally right before my eyes.
I suppose this is the place "post cataclysm" though I still have trouble understanding what it is that's actually about ... in my mind it connects to the words "we are losing habeas" echo'ed from the streets of Los Angeles in a more clear and more military voice than usual--as I walked block by block trying to evade a series of events that would eventually somehow connect all the way to the "outskirts of Orlando, Florida" in a place called Alhambra.
Apparently the name of a castle; though I wasn't aware of that until much later.
It doesn't feel at all like a "cataclysm" to me; I see no great rift--only a world filled with silent liars, people who collectively believe themselves to have stolen something--something gigantic--at least that's the best interpretation of the throws and impetus behind the thing that I and mythology together call Jormungandr. With an eye for "mythological connections" you could clearly see that name of the Great Serpent of Revelation connects to something like the Unseelie; the faeries of Gaelic lore. To me though this world seems still somewhat fluid, it's my entire life--moving from Plantation to a place where the whole of it might be Bethlehem and to "clear my throat" it's not hard to see here how that land of "coughs" connects to the Biblical land of Nod and to the "Adamically sieved" Snifleheim ... from just a little twist on the ancient Norse land most probably as close to Hel as anyone ever gets--or so I dream and hope---still today. It all looks so real and so fake at the same time; planned for thousands of generations, the culmination of some grand masterpiece story that certainly ties history and myth and reality into a twisted heap of "one big nothing, one big nothing at all."
I've tried to convey to the world how important I believe this place and this time to be--not by some choice of my own ... but through an understanding of the import of our history and the impact of having it be so obviously tuned and geared towards this specific time ... many thousands of years literally all focused on a single moment, on one day or one hour or even just a few years where all of that gets thrown down on the table as if some trump card has been played--and whether or not you fathom the same magnanimous statement or situation or position ... to me, I think it depends on whether or not you grew up in the same kind of way, believing our history to be so fixed and so difficult to change. I don't particularly feel like that's the "zeitgeist" of today; I feel like the children believe it to be some kind of game, and that it is such as easy thing to "sed" away or switch and turn into something else--another story, another purpose ... anyone's personal fantasy land come true.
I don't think that's the case at all, it's clearly a personal nightmare; and it's clearly one we've seen time and time again--though not myself--the Jesus Christ that is the same yesterday, today; and once again perhaps echoing "no tomorrow" never remembers or believes that we've "seen it all before" or that we've ever really gotten the point; the thing you present to me as "factual reality" is a sickness, it disgusts me; and I'd do anything to go back to the world "where I was so young, and so innocent" and so filled with starry-eyed hope that we were at the foot of something grand and amazing that would become an empire turned republic of the heavens; filling the stars ... with the kind of love for kindness and fairness that I once associated very strongly with the thing I still believe to be the American Spirit.
"Suddenly it changes, violently it changes" ... another song echoes through the ages--like the "words of the prophets dancing ((as light)) through the air" ... and I no longer even have a glimmer of hope that the thing I called the American People still exist; I feel we've been replaced by some broken container of minds, that the sky itself has become corrupt to the point that there's no hope of turning around this thing that I once believed with all my heart and all my mind was so obviously a "designed downward spiral" one that was---again--so obviously something of a joke, intended to be easy to bounce off a false bottom and springboard beyond "escape velocity" and beyond the dark waters of "nearest habitable star systems (being so very far away)" into a place where new words and new ideas would "soar" and "take flight."
Here though; I am filled with a kind of lonely sadness ... staring at what appears to be the same mistake(s) happening over and over again; something I've come to call "skipping stones in the pond of reality" and really do liken it to this thing that appears to be the new meaning of "days" and ... a civilization that spends absolutely no love or lust to enter a once sacred and holy place and tarnish it with their sick beliefs and their disgusting desires. You all ... you appear to be some kind of springboard to "bunt" forth yet another age or era of nothingness into the space between this planet and "none worth reaching" and thank God, out of grasp. Today, I'd condemn the entirety of this world simply for it's lack of "oathkeepers" and understanding of what the once hallowed words of Hippocrates meant to ... to the people charged and dharmically required to heal rather than harm.
It appears the place and time that was once ... at least destined to be the beginning of Heaven ... has become a "recurring stump" of some future unplanned and tarnished by many previous failed efforts and attempts to overcome this same "lack of conversation or care" for what it meant to be "humane" in a world where that was clearly set high aloft and above "humanity" in the place where they--where we were the best nature had to offer, the sanest, the kindest; the shining last best hope.
Today I write almost every day ... secretly thanking "my God" for the disappearance of my tears and the still small but bright hope that "Tearran" will one day connect the Boston Tea Party and the idea that "render to Caesar" and Robin of Loxley ... all have something to do with a re-ordering of society and the worth and import of "money" ... to a place that cares more for freedom from murder than it does ... "freedom from having to allow others to hear me speak." I hold back tears and emotions; not by conscious choice or ability but ... still with that strange kind of lucky awkward smile; and secretly not so far below the surface it's the hope of "a swift death" that ... that really scares me more than the automatons and mechanical responses I see in the faces of many drivers as they pass me on the street--the imagery of connecting it to the serpentine monster of the movie Beetlejuice ... something I just "assume" the world understands and ... doesn't seem to fear (either); as if Churchill had gotten it all wrong and backwards--the only thing you have to fear, is the loss of fear of "loss."
Here my crossroads---halfway between the city my son lives in and the city my parents live in--it's on making a decision on whether I should continue at all, or personally work on some kind of software project I've been writing about, or whether I should focus on writing about a "revolution" in government and society that clearly is ... "somewhat underway." In my mind it's obvious these things are all connected; that the software and the governance and the care of whether or not "Babylon" is remembered as a city of great laws and great change or a city of demons and depravity ... that these thi]ngs all hinge and congeal around a change in your hearts; hoping you will chose to be the beginning of a renaissance of "society and civilization" rather than the kings and queens of a sick virtual anarchy ... believing yourselves to have stolen "a throne of God" rather than to literally be the devastating and demoralizing depreciation of "lords and fiefdoms" to something more closely resembled by the time of the Four Horsemen depicted in Highlander.
These words intended to be a "forward" to yet another compliment of a ((nother installment of a partial)) chain of emails; whimsically once half-joking ... I called it the Great Chain of Revelation. The software too; part of the great chain, this "idea" that the blockchain revolution will eventually create a distributed and equal governance structure, and a rekindling of monetary value focused on "free and open collaboration" rather than "survival of the most unfit"--something society and civilization seem to have turned the "call of life" from and to ... literally just in the last few years as we were so very close to ... reaching beyond the Heaven(s).
I don't think its hard to imagine how a "new set of ground rules" could significantly change the "face of a place" -- make it something shiny and new or even on the other side of the coin, decayed or depraved. It's not hard to connect the kind of change I'm hoping for with "collision protection" and "automatic laws" to the (perhaps new, perhaps ... ancient) Norse creation story of the brothers of Odin: Vili and Ve.
It might be hard to see today how a new "kind of spiritual interaction" might be only a few "mouse clicks" away though--how it could change everything literally in a flash of overnight sensation ... or how it might take something like a literal flash of stardom (or ... on the other hand, something like totalitarian or authoritarian "iron fisting") to make a change like this "ubiquitious" or ... something like the (imagined in my mind as ... messianic) "ED" of storming through the cosmos or the heavens and turning something that might appear to be "free and perfect feeling" today into a universe "civlized overnight" and then ...
I wonder how long it would take to laud a change like that; for it to be something of a voluntary "reunderstanding" of a process ... to change the meaning of every word or every thought that connects to the process of "civilization" to recognize that something so great and so powerful has happened as to literally change the meaning of the word, to turn a process of civilization into something that had a ... "signta-lamcla☮" of forboding and then a magical staff struck into the heart of a sea and then ... and then the word itself literally changes to introduce a new "mid term" or "halfway point" in which a great singularity or enlightenment or change in perspective or understanding sort of acknowledges ...
that some "clear outside" force not only intervened on the behalf of the future and the people of our world but that it was uniquely involved in the whole of--

Gjall are painting me into a corner here; and I don't see around it anymore--I don't see the light, and I don't see the point. I was a happy-go-lucky little kid in my mind; that's not "what I wanted to be" or what I wanted to present, it's who I was. I saw "Ashkenazi" and ... know I am one of those ... and I kind of understood that something horrible might have happened, or might happen here--and I kind of understand that crying smashing feeling of "to ash" that echoes through the ages in the potpourri songs about pockets full of Parker Posey .. and ancient Psalms about "from the ashes of Edom" we have come--and from that you can see the cyclical sickness of this ... place so sure it's "East of Eden" and yet gung-ho on barrelling down the same old path towards ash and towards Edom and towards ... more of Dave's "ashes to ashes dust to dust" and his "smoke clouds roll and symphony of death..." and few words of solace in a song called Recently that I imagine was fleeting and has recently come and gone--people stare, I can't ignore the sick I see.
I can't ignore his "... and tomorrow back to being friends" and all but wonder who among us doesn't realize it's "ash" and "gone" and "no memory of today" that's the night between now and ... a "tomorrow with friends" not just for me--but for all of you--for this place that snickers and pantomimes some kind of ... anything but "I'm not done yet" and "there's more ... vendetta ... and retribution to be had, Adam ... please come back in a few more of our faux-days." This is sickness; and happy-go-lucky Himodaveroshalayim really doesn't do much but complain about that word, the "sickle" and the tragic unavoidable ... ash of it all ... these days--you'd think we could "pull out" of this mess, turn another way; smile another day, but it seems there's only one way to get to that avenu in the mind of ... "he who must not know or be me."
I have to admit I found some joy in the epiphany that the hidden city of Zion and it's fusion with the Namayim' version of how that "Ha" gels and jives with the name Abraham and the Manna from Heaven and the bath salt and the tina and the "am in e" of amphetamine--maybe a glimmer or a shimmer or a glow of hope at the moment "Nazion" clicked ... and I said ... "no, not me ... I'm nothing like a king, no dreams of authoritarianism at all in the heart of Kish@r;" even as I wrote words that in the spirit of the moment were something of a "tis of a'we" that connected to my country and the first sing-songy "tisME" that I linked to trying to talk in the rhyming spirit of some "first Christ" that probably just like me was one limmerick away from the end of the rainbow and one "Four Non Blondes" song away from tying "or whatever that means" and this land crowned with "brotherhood" (to some personal "of the Bell, and of the bell towers so tall and Crestian") to just one Hopp skip and jump away from the heart of the obvious echoes of a bridge between haiku and Heroku... a few more gears shift into place, a click and and a mechanical turn of the face of the clock's ku-ku striking ... it was the word "Earthene" that was the last "Jesusism" around the post Cimmerian time linking Dionysus and Seuss to that same "su-s" that's belonging to a moment in the city of Uranus--codified and etched in stone as "MCO"--not just for its saucer and warp nacelles and "deflector dish" but for it's underground caverns and it's above ground "Space Mountain" and that great golf ball in the heart of it all.
The gears of time and the dawns of civilizequey.org query the missing "here" in our true understanding of what "in the beginning, to hear; to here ... to rue the loss of the Maize from Monoceros to the VEGA system and the tri-galactic origin of ... "some imaginary universal ... Earthene pax" to have dropped the ball and lost it all somewhere between "Avenu Malkaynu" and melaleuca trees--or Yggrasil and Snifleheim--or simply to miss the point and "rue brickell" because of bricks rather than having any kind of love or nostalgia linking to a once cobblestone roadway to the city in the Emerald skies paved in golden "do not return" signs ... to have lost Avenues well after not realizing it was "Heaven'es that were long gone far before I stepped foot on this road once called too Holy for sandals" in a place where that Promised Land and this place of "K'nanites" just loses it's grip on reality when it comes to mentioning the possibility that the original source and story of Ca'anan was literally designed to rid the world of ... "bad nanites" and the mentality of ... vindictiveness that I see behind every smirk.
The final hundred nanoseconds on our clock towards doom and gloom cause another bird to fly; another snake to curl up and listen again to the songs designed to charm it into oblivion; whether that's about a club in South Beach or a place not so far from our new "here..." all remains to be seen in my innocent eyes wondering what it truly is that stands between what you are ... and finding "forgiveness not needed--innocent child writes to the mass" ... and the long arm of the minute hand and the short finger of the hour for one brief moment reconcile and move towards "midnight" together; and it's simply idyllic, the Nazarene corner between nil and null you've relegated the history of Terran poast futures into ... "foreves mas" or so they (or you) think.
I'm still so far from "Five Finger Death Punch" though; and so far from Rammstein and so far from any kind of sick events that could stand between me and "the eternal" and change my still "casual alternative rock" loving heart to something more death metal; I rue whatever lies between me and there being any kind of Heaven that thinks there could exist a "righteous side" of Hell and it... simultaneously.
I still see light here in admonishing the masses and the angels standing against the story and the message God brings us in our history. I still see sparks in siding with the "causticness" of "no holodecks in sight" and the hunger and the pain of simulating ... "the hells of reality" over the story of decades or centuries of silence refusing to see "holography" and "simulated" in the word Holocaust and the horrors of this place that simply doesn't seem to fathom or understand the moments of hunger pangs and the fear of "dark Earth pits" or towers of "it's not Nintendo-DS" linking the Man in the High Castle to an Iron Mask.
I rally against being what I clearly am raised high on some pedestal by some force beyond my comprehension and probably beyond that of the "perfect storm in time" that refuses to itself acknowledge what it means to gaze at such an unfathomable loss of innocence at the cost of a "happy and serene future" or even at the glimmer of the Never-Never-Land I'd hoped we would all cherish and love and share ... the games and the newfound freedom that comes not just from "seeing Holodeck" turn into "no bullets" and "no cages" but into a world that grows and flourishes into something that's so far beyond my capability to understand that I'm stuck here; dumbfounded; staring at you refusing to stop car accidents and school shootings ... because "pedestal." For the "fire and the glory" of some night you refuse to see is this one--this place where morality rekindles from ... from what appears tobe one small candle, but truly--if it's not in your heart, and it's not coming from some great force of goodness--fear today and a world of "forever what else may come."
Here in a place the Bible calls Penuel at the crossing of a River Jordan ... the Angel of the Lord notes the parallels in time and space between the Potomac and the Rhine--stories of superposition and cities and nation-states that are nothing more than a history of a history of things like the Monoceros "arroz" linking not just to the constellation Orion but to Sagittarius and to Cupid and of course to the Hunter you know so well--

Strength and perseverance through obstacles? Reminds me of grass growing between the concrete.
We cannot conceive of (cannot picture in our minds or positively think about) a thing which is-not (which lacks Being)
This wording reminds me of that philosophy that goes something like "God is the greatest thing that we can imagine." (That was completely wrong.)
A historian who asked only to learn enough to be as futile as Langley or Kelvin, made rapid progress under this teaching, and mixed himself up in the tangle of ideas until he achieved a sort of Paradise of ignorance vastly consoling to his fatigued senses.
The line "Paradise of ignorance" is interesting - it reminds me of the concept of blissful ignorance. I am also intrigued and confused as to the several uses of the word throughout a story focused on education. I think nowadays we wouldn't think of extremely educated people as ignorant, but maybe in this story the people are genuinely ignorant. Who knows.
Iunderstood something of Lot's wife's temptation, when she looked back
Context here: https://www.christianity.com/wiki/people/who-was-lot-s-wife-why-was-she-turned-into-a-pillar-of-salt.html , reminds me of Orpheus and Eurydice
for thebenefit of the afflicted
The statement that Mary's testimony is "for the benefit of the afflicted" reminds me of what Professor Marr mentioned in class about how sharing an experience (or someone sharing an experience a captive resonates with) can be freeing even if one is still being held captive.
Residents had complained that officers had become aggressive, grabbing men off the street to arrest them for minor offenses.
This reminds me of why jay walking is legal in California so police cant cite people and be aggressive for an issue this small.
I explain to students that the analysisof words quoted from the text is a crucial element of literary critical argument.
This reminds me of a "Think-Pair-Share" in our Wit and Wisdom Curriculum at Weirton Elementary School.
The brief encounter encapsulated a simple yet unorthodox concept that is at the heart of a bold experiment organizers believe could redefine law-enforcement in New York: letting neighbors, not the police, respond to low-level street crime.
This reminds me of the saying that goes, "desperate times calls for desperate measures".
Numbers are increasingly used to justify policy priorities and to label teachers, schools,districts, and even entire countries, as educational successes and failures. National testingprograms, such as the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) reforms in the US and the use ofschool performance tables in England, have popularized the idea that numbers can be usedto expose (and change) failing schools (Gillborn and Youdell 2000; Darling-Hammond2007; Barber 2012). For example, across the globe politicians and pressure-groups fre-quently try to make their case by quoting results from PISA (Program of InternationalStudent Assessment) – which is run by the Organization for Economic Co-operation andDevelopment (OECD). Prominent examples exist in the States, the UK and Australia (seeLingard, Creagh, and Vass 2012). Countries’ positions in the PISA tables are often cited asif they unambiguously and accurately represent the relative quality of schooling in differ-ent nations (despite their very different populations and education systems). And yet thecommentaries rarely include any detail about the relatively small samples (less than 200schools in all but one of the US returns since 2000)(NCES n.d.); the selective curricularcoverage of the tests (in reading, math, and science); nor the fact that students in differ-ent countries sometimes take different assessments or miss certain assessments altogether(Stewart 2013). Despite these severe limitations, the UK government frequently cites PISAresults as evidence of the need for change (cf. Department for Education (DfE) 2015, 8)and has stated that it will ‘measure the increased performance of the school system as awhole by reference to international tables of student attainment, such as PISA’ (quoted inScott 2016).
This reminds me of what might be called the "wrong drivers" by Fullan in education reform.
Part of her theory carried through into another volume, The Creation of Feminist Consciousness, that women were not conscious that they were subordinate (and it might be otherwise) until this consciousness began slowly to emerge, starting with medieval Europe.
Hmmm, this reminds me of the movie Barbie, initially, the Barbies ruled and the Kens were just there, and, Ken and Barbie went to the real world & Ken learned about Patriarchy and implemented it
Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity.
Reminds me of an expression: "there are two sides to every story, and the truth falls somewhere in the middle". It's human nature to tell stories because it reveals the differences in human perspectives.
Her default position toward me, as an African, was a kind of patronizing, well-meaning pity
Her mentioning again the fact she is African reminds the audience of the connection to a miseducated public regarding ethnicity. Dr. Adichie also uses syntax when placing the phrase "as an African" in the middle of the sentence, to further emphasize the connection to race of her roommate's biased views of her.
nstruction or assessment.
I notice that there can be differentiation of instruction or assessment. This reminds me of giving choice of content, process, or product.
I know a lot of people (mostly young men with minimal parental guidance) who were total idiots up to about 25
This reminds me of abfan1127's "I paid off $240,000 in 3 years by not being an idiot with my money. I got on a budget with my wife. We cut up our credit cards because we always double or triple spent our money."

Interesting order of words, I think that's why it reminds me of Latin. Verb, subject (I think), direct object. Although I don't think latin had a "that", I think that was just expressed by probably the verb ending or maybe the direct object ending.
Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring, Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west, And thought of him I love.
Walt Whitman’s expressed how in the season of spring and makes him feel as though hey, Trinity is being brought to him, the drooping star reminds him of his fellow friend, who he is mourning for. The lilac blooming meant a lot to him.
This reminds me of an article by Bruce E. Kaufman named "Expanding the Behavioral Foundations of Labor Economics" in which examines, critiques, and suggests modifications to the psychological assumptions of the rational choice model of the human agent that underlies much of the theoretical work in modern, neoclassical labor economics.
once again, funneling disadvantaged students into low-wage, low-opportunity occupations. CTE’s “dark history” becomes its future.
This also reminds me of our readings where a lot of these intelligences also come or eventually come out with paid versions where there will be a large population unable to afford it, therefore having an automatic disadvantage to some of there peers.
An American named
The populism in his speeches is another really important observation. Every person he mentions, every topic, every idea begins with a categorization that (1) carries with it a very specific meaning and (2) that you can relate to. 'American' is patriotic, is innovative, speaks to the employee. Maslow isn't addressed as the 'scientist' or 'researcher' he would be in any news publication; he's an American. He could have been any of us.
This speechwriting reminds me so much of JFK's campaigns - but whereas JFK dumbed down and maintained that level to make all of his work accessible and craft a strong, general mission, Jobs is an expert at easing you in - sneaking you up to topics that are more and more technical.
You can look back two paragraphs and discover that you've just understood this hierarchy of needs. He snuck you in by calling the developer an 'American', then developing the idea not by explaining to you, but by emphasizing words like 'simple' and 'human' and 'people' and deliberately using language so simple that you haven't even noticed the idea you've grokked - and though you may not be able to speak in the terminology of the field, you know know a bit more about what that thing's got going on.
(This specific section isn't the most technical topic, but other speeches here use those very same tricks - and those tricks allow him to convey complex ideas and huge dreams as matter-of-face. The ability to ideate,'dumb down', then 'build back up' and to make the idea yours - that takes brilliance).
In a culture dedicated to pre-serving both a racial and social hierarchy, the notion of common schools for everyone in the South, even in theory, was repugnant.
The policies of the south where racism was so dominant, white and black students were unequal. The racist ideals in the south created a barrier for education of common schools. This reminds me of the time prior to Brown v Board of Education where there was "separate but equal" treatment between black and white students.
are responding to the crisis with a variety of measures that they hope will safeguard the Reef’s remaining live corals, protect corals being grown in underwater nurseries, and preserve live fragments of all genetically unique staghorn and elkhorn coral that remain on Florida’s Coral Reef.
This reminds me of this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvbV9llG5L8
These regions are associated with such functions as memory, the various senses, volitional control, and higher levels of cognitive functioning
This reminds me of how certain childhood memories can be triggered by different smells or even songs. I've had moments where I remember things that I thought I had long forgotten; it's a pretty incredible experience!
In gratitude fortheir generosity, the three sisters revealed their true identities— corn,beans, and squash—and gave themselves to the people in a bundle ofseeds so that they might never go hungry again.
This reminds me of the greek myth of Baucis and Philemon
“It was like people who like to go out and shoot lions in Africa. It was the same thrill,
This reminds me of the African proverb that talks about the lion and the hunter and the voices of the two vastly different perspectives.
This means that| must find solutions to these problems that focus, not on “fixing” disenfranchised communities, but onworking with communities to fix those conditions and practices which disenfranchise them.
I really appreciate this statement. I don't find many people straight up naming deficits in disenfranchised communities, but often the projects and work with disenfranchised communities is suggestive of presuming a deficit. This also reminds me of how at my school, we have a course called "Character Education" for students with behavior challenges. This course name and concept has always frustrated me as it is suggestive that these students lack character, when they are often just students who have been impacted by ableism or racism and/or are under-resourced.
Mullen reminds us of the cultural, historical, and political significance of learning how to read maps for a variety of purposes:
Mullen speaks on how map reading is important in multiple ways. This reminds me of a part of my argumentative lesson as I spoke on how it is important for students and all readers to know when they are reading something that is trying to persuade them or convince them of something. I highlighted on how it is important to recognize when ethos, pathos, and logos are being used. Here Mullen is speaking on the same with how reading maps is important for readers to know for multiple reasons and can help create dynamic texts.

Evernote had this cool web clipper feature that helped me gather literary quotes, tweets, Wikipedia facts, interview bits, and any kinds of texts all around the web. And now I have a vault with 10k notes.I am trying to review a few every time I open Obsidian (add tags, link it, or delete) but it is still too much.Did someone have the same experience? How did you manage to fix everything and move to a bit more controllable system (zettelkasten or any other)?Cus I feel like I am standing in front of a text tsunami
reply to u/posh-and-repressed at https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/15218d5/overloaded_with_notes/
Overwhelm of notes always reminds me of this note taking story from 1908: https://boffosocko.com/2022/10/24/death-by-zettelkasten/ If you've not sorted them, tagged/categorized them or other, then search is really your only recourse. One of the benefits of Luhmann's particular structure is that it nudged him to read and review through older cards as he worked and filed new ones. Those with commonplace books would have occasionally picked up their notebooks and paged through them from time to time. Digital methods like Obsidian don't always do a good job of allowing or even forcing this review work on the user, so you may want to look at synthetic means like one of the random note plugins. Otherwise don't worry too much. Fix your tagging/categorizing/indexing now so that things slowly improve in the future. (I'm sitting on a pile of over 50K notes without the worry of overwhelm, primarily as I've managed to figure out how to rely on my index and search.)
Before going further, we have to understand another key feature about the theory of action protocols. Action protocols generate both internal and external relations, simultaneously.
Reminds me of [[Active Inference]] using the notion of a [[Markov blanket]] which has [[internal states]] (agent of interest) and [[external states]] (environment of agent) which are mediated by [[sensory states]] (feedback) and [[active states]] (actions). The research program of [[Active Inference]] also claims the same kind of [[scale invariance]] and cross category applications that Roy seems to be doing with her notion [[action protocol]].
Currently, Roy's approach seems more ambiguous and less usable in scientific research than the approach of [[Active Inference]].
However, those same carbonate ions are what shell-building animals like coral need to create calcium carbonateshells.
This reminds me of the evolutionary history of two groups of sponges. Carbon concentration in the atmosphere often determined which type dominated the other because they used different materials for their spicules (calcium and silica).
Wherever intelligence tests have been made in any considerable number in the schools, they have shown that not far from 2 per cent of the children enrolled have a grade of intelligence which, however long they live, will never develop beyond the level which is normal to the average child of 11 or 12 years. The large majority of these belong to the moron grade; that is, their mental development will stop somewhere between the 7-year and 12-year level of intelligence, more often between 9 and 12.
It sounds like being considered intelligent is rare, and being average is considered the norm. This reminds me of high school rankings. You have your kids that are in special classes, your average kids that make up most of the school population and the smaller percentage of kids that are considered top 10& and valedictorian. The difference between special classrooms now versus then I think is the importance placed on enrichment learning now. I feel like back then kids were made to stay at a lower level, not beyond a certain age as stated, not past a 12 year old level. Now, every grade and level has a lesson plan intended to move the child forward.
For example, when I journal about a conflict with a family member, I begin by reflecting on what occurred and then naturally transition into analyzing why the conflict happened and why it matters to my understanding of myself and my family member.
Although I don't take the time to write down my thoughts I do take a lot of reflection time. As Sovay describes the questions they ask themselves, it reminds me a lot of how I do my personal reflections. Analyze the situation, who all is involved, and how they are impacted.
The organ starts playing and everyone begins to sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” While singing the song, putting my arms around friends and family with me, I watch all the players taking the field. It is wonderful to see the overwhelming amount of players on one team from around the world: Japan, the Dominican Republic, the United States, Canada, and Venezuela. I cannot help but feel a bit of national pride at this realization. Seeing the international representation on the field reminds me of the ways that Americans, though from many different backgrounds and places, still come together under common ideals. For these reasons and for the whole experience in general, going to a Major League Baseball game is the perfect way to glimpse a slice of Americana.
The song is important, unifying. It encompasses the author, his family, friends and all the nationalities being represented on this American field
Mirroring earlier evidence that functionally and anatomically dissociable dorsal attention and frontoparietal control networks interact as a functional network under specific task conditions (i.e., externally directed cognition), these more recent reports provide strong evidence for interactivity among default and frontoparietal control regions during internally directed cognition4. This emerging picture of dynamic interactivity among these three networks calls into question the orthodoxy of labeling functional brain networks as either TPN or TNN. These labels are more likely the byproduct of the desire for rigorously controlled experimental designs (i.e., externally directed stimuli) than meaningful descriptors of functional brain networks. However, research delineating and characterizing a taxonomy of neurocognitive networks is ongoing (e.g., Laird et al., 2011; Yeo et al., 2011). Indeed, the frontoparietal control network may be further fractionated into dissociable “salience” and “executive-control” networks (Seeley et al., 2007). Growing evidence for a complex and dynamically interacting network architecture highlight the importance of developing a stable nomenclature for functional brain networks. This will be an important consideration for future research.
Further questions the norm of calling functional brain networks either TPN or TNN.
Also, suggests that the [[frontoparietal control network]] could be subdivided into a [[salience network]] and an [[executive-control network]]. Reminds me of [[Lisa Feldman Barrett]]'s discussion with [[Scott Barry Kaufman]] where she said something like, "Neuroscientists tend to name parts of the brain after the specific activity they happen to be interested in." She said that the [[dorsal attention network]] was one of the regions with the most names.
the format of your data, and the kind of story you wish to tell.
That a tool as objective and superficially-obvious as a map can be a vehicle for storytelling, artistic expression, and subjective experience demonstrates data visualization's abstract and pliable nature. Before enrolling in Vassar's multidisciplinary Media Studies program, I never considered the stories a map could tell. My theoretical research has helped me understand that art emerges in data; likewise, data can manifest as potent, mobilizing art. Dougherty and Ilyankou's explanation of this flexibility reminds me of media theorist Marshall McLuhan's famous statement, "the medium is the message." While the technical content of maps may not necessarily deliver a storytelling experience, the map's inclusion, omission, and modification of formal cartographic elements convey specific stories, intentionally or not. "Hands-On Data Visualization" demonstrates how a medium can comprise similar data while manipulating its formation and delivery to create disparate visualizations, such as highlighting resident anecdotes to displaying 3D maps.
I was tempted to offer them some food. But how could I? Where would I start?
This moment reminds me of the Bystander Effect or Conformity experiments (and again "the Lottery").
In a way there were too many of us for the food served, or it felt like that
Okri's first paragraph of the story reminds me of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" where the reader is introduced to a rich and beautiful setting with an undercurrent of suspense and anxiety.
[i]n 1910, colored men could be entertained in the best hotels in Cleveland, Detroit and Chicago. Today [in 1934], th ere is not a single Northern city, except New York, where a Negro can be a guest at a first-class hotel."
What changed?? It reminds me of the fact that Roe v Wade was overturned after years of it being in place.
This reminds me of how anything is learned. There is a front and a back. Tony Hawk landing the 900 in 1999 during the X Games skateboard competition was amazing but people didn't see the 'back' of this where he had been trying the trick for 13 years. They only saw the neat landing he had that was broadcast on T.V. This could lead somebody to believe skateboarding was easy, and difficult never before done tricks could be learned in an afternoon. This isn't the reality.
Everyoneinconflict-avoidance conversationsinitakeep surfaceharmony,even though,atthesameeaaenfimayalsofeelfrustratedthattheyareunabletosayaethey think.
This reminds me of an article I read called "When Nice Won't Suffice" that touched on this exact idea. I often struggle with this-- I desperately want to avoid conflict, but what I am realizing is that often I make my own conclusions about what I think is going to be the outcome of a conversation, and work to totally avoid all conflict, when in reality, it is not fair for me to decide how people are going to react without giving them a chance.
This sentence stands out to me because it reminds me of something my mother told me she experienced growing up. Spanish is her first language and she explained to me and my brothers that in her English class when she was required to read aloud, when her classmates would snicker or laugh, she would just think how they must have viewed her. She would remind herself that this is her second language shes learning and this is many of their firsts. This gave her more confidence to continue learning and highlighted to me the difference in perspectives of how people who don't have Enligsh as their first language.
None of us can really prosper permanently if there are masses among us who are debased and degraded.
This sentence reminds me of the quote, "You're only as strong as the weakest link." In context to the annotation, you can not improve as a society if you don't acknowledge and aim to fix the ones below you.
Here the cash was a loan. Your friends were a loan. Anyone at all, a loan. Your family only ever a loan—
reminds me of that saying "we live on borrowed time" our lives aren't ours to have and live for all eternity, I think this poem aims to remind people of their mortality.
With anterograde amnesia, you cannot remember new information, although you can remember information and events that happened prior to your injury.
This reminds me so much of the Adam Sandler movie 50 First Dates.
Costanza-Chock explains that we should be designing algorithms that are just.45 This means shifting from the ahistorical notion of fairness to a model of equity.
This reminds me of a metaphor my high school used to properly explain the difference between equality and equity. Let's say there's a fence, and on the other side is a baseball game that you and your friend are trying to peek over and watch. You each get a box to stand on, and now you can see over the fence! Your friend, however, is shorter than you and still can't reach. Although you may have the same box to stand on (equality), in order to get the same opportunity to watch the game you have to put effort into making sure that everyone actually receives that truly equal opportunity, e.g. another box for your friend.
Costanza-Chock's example of college admissions to explain equality vs. equity also make me think about what kinds of digital barriers exist in place to prevent restorative justice. Issues such as accessibility, class, and status keep coming up for me and now I'm wondering: How does class background influence the attempts made by digital humanities scholars who try to perform this restoration?
The boy was so restless that I had not had a chance to look at his face before. My first impression was right; he really was faun-like.* He hadn’t much head behind his ears, and his tawny fleece grew down thick to the back of his neck. His eyes were not frank and wide apart like those of the other boys, but were deep-set, gold-green in colour, and seemed sensitive to the light. His mother said he got hurt oftener than all the others put together. He was always trying to ride the colts before they were broken, teasing the turkey gobbler, seeing just how much red the bull would stand for, or how sharp the new axe was.
This description of Leo feels full of reference to nature. So not exactly an explicit description of the natural world itself, however Leo's characteristics feel as if they highlight qualities of nature. Leo is described as faun-like, is sensitive, playful/mischievous yet easily hurt. The description of his eyes as "green-gold" reminds me of the line of poetry in S.E. Hinton's nature's 'nature's first green is gold", although written a 50 years later or so, is part of what drew me to this passage as a description of nature.

This just reminds me of the exercise we did this week. Examples of bad or good press influencing those in public office and public policy can be found everywhere. It made me ponder, what are the other possible things that influence public policy? If not the interest of the public what else could cause that much drive for change?
Tragedy is hard news, and the avoidance of it is so/I news. How do you ever win that game? I got more hard-to-place klds adopted in Florida than anybody ever thought could get done.

This section reminds me of something I heard once on a television show. It involved national intelligence and the security of the country. How "our victories are silent but our mistakes are loud". Hardly anyone remembers Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the man who tried to detonate a plastics bomb on a Norwest Airlines flight on Christmas. Everyone remembers Ted Kaczynski aka "The Unabomber" I know hindsight is 20/20 but I wonder if Coler had ever even thought about the perception of having close acquittances next to him with HRS and how it would look?
equity is about ensuring the fair and balanced distribution of resources so that each human being can reach his or her maximum potential.

Studies on engagement uncovered that while students may be physically present and appear to be actively involved in using the technology tools, in reality they might still be cognitively disengaged from the learning goals (Linnenbrink &Piintrich, 2003).

I feel like this concept is hard for some people to understand. Like the book said, some people may think that getting medication is more important than buying a cell phone, but it all depends on the person's reality. This reminds me of things I heard growing up.

Thank you for your letter dated on May 5, 2023 concerning our manuscript (MS# RC-2023-01906) entitled “Activation of Nedd4L Ubiquitin Ligase by FCHO2-generated Membrane Curvature.”
We thank the reviewers for their constructive comments and suggestions. We have considered all reviewers’ comments and plan to revise our manuscript accordingly.
We believe that our revision plan will greatly improve the quality of our manuscript.
__Reviewer #1 __
I enjoyed reading the paper by Sakamoto and colleagues, where they show that Nedd4L ubiquitin ligase activity is stimulated by membranes and in particular positive membrane curvature. This paper is a conceptual advance that hopefully will be extended by many other groups where membranes topology participates in the activation of associated enzymes, giving rise to added complexity but also specificity and further compartmentalization. It is an important paper for all cell biologists to understand.
- My comments are all relatively minor and I hope can improve the readability of the paper, but will not alter the overall conclusion as this is well backed up. In general I would like to see more/better statistics/quantitation and better figure legends. I found that often one had to read the paper to understand a figure where reading the figure legend should suffice.
__Reply: __According to the reviewer’s comment, we will quantify the experiments (Fig. 1C, Fig. 2, Fig. 9B, and Fig. 10B) and add descriptions of statistics (Fig. 5, Fig. 6, B and D, and Fig. 7C). We will also write better figure legends to enable the readers to easily understand experiments.
- This paper reminds me of a paper from Gilbert Di Paolo's lab on the activation of synaptojanin PIP2 hydrolysis by high membrane curvature. One would expect that there may be many such proteins whose activities will be dependent on their membrane environment. I find it conceptually rather likely that a protein which interacts with membranes via a C2 domain (which has membrane insertions and will thus likely be curvature sensitive) will likely show some positive curvature sensitivity. Can I suggest this paper is referenced and discussed in the light of the discussion statement "Thus, our findings provide a new concept of signal transduction in which a specific degree of membrane curvature serves as a signal for activation of an enzyme that regulates a number of substrates."
Reply: __According to the reviewer’s comment, we will cite the paper entitled “synaptojanin-1-mediated PI(4,5)P2 hydrolysis is modulated by membrane curvature and facilitates membrane fission” by Chang-Ileto et al. (Dev. Cell __20, 206–18 , 2011). We will also discuss this paper in the light of the discussion statement.
- Where the paper could be improved (or I have not understood fully). In figure 1 there is a robust endocytosis of ENaC that is FCHo2 and Nedd4L sensitive. There is a rescue for FCHo2 in a fluorescence image (unquantified), so it would be good to have the more quantitative approach of rescue with both FCHo2 and Nedd4L in the biochemical assay.
__Reply: __Although the reviewer suggests a rescue experiment in the biochemical assay, the experiment is difficult because the transfection efficiency is low (about 50%). On the other hand, we agree with the reviewer that a quantitative approach is required in the rescue experiment (Fig. 1C). Therefore, we plan to quantify the rescue experiment for FCHO2 in the immunofluorescence assay. The reviewer also suggests a rescue experiment for Nedd4L as well as FCHO2. However, since the involvement of Nedd4L in ENaC endocytosis is well established, we do not think that the rescue experiment for Nedd4L is further required.
- In figure 2 there is nice co-localisation between clathrin/FCHo2 and ENaC but not with Nedd4L. It would be good to have some quantitation of the co-localisation. But also one should use a Nedd4L mutant or a mutant of ENaC and so be able to visualise co-localisation between receptor and ub-ligase. I find it strange that there is no (or much less) Nedd4L-GFP visible in the cells overexpressing ENaC... Is there an explanation? Does overexpression of ENaC lead to more auto-ubiquitination of Nedd4L. Also the Nedd4L-GFP signal in other cells is punctate, while in the next figure Myc-Nedd4L is not.
__Reply: __According to the reviewer’s comment, we will perform quantitative colocalization analysis in Fig. 2.
We have found that a catalytically inactive Nedd4L mutant, C922A, co-localizes with cell-surface αENaC and FCHO2 in αβγENaC-HeLa cells. According to the reviewer’s comment, these data will be added in the revised manuscript.
In Fig. 2C, Nedd4L was transiently transfected in cells stably expressing ENaC. In Nedd4L-transfected cells, overexpression of Nedd4L stimulated ENaC internalization, resulting in the disappearance of ENaC at the cell surface. On the other hand, in non-transfected cells, cell-surface ENaC was detected. Thus, Nedd4L-negative cells are non-transfected cells (cell-surface ENaC positive cells). This explanation will be added in the revised manuscript.
The staining pattern of Nedd4L depends on what section of the cell a confocal microscope was focused on. Nedd4L-GFP signals were punctate at the bottom section of the cell in Fig. 2, whereas Myc-Nedd4L was diffusely distributed at the upper section (cytoplasm) of the cell (Fig. 3). Thus, Nedd4L shows distribution throughout the cytoplasm and punctate staining at the bottom (cell surface). The staining pattern of Nedd4L is also affected by the expression amount of Nedd4L in cells. When Nedd4L was highly expressed in COS7 and HEK293 cells in Fig. 3, the punctate staining was hardly detected. This localization pattern of Nedd4L will be clearly described in the revised manuscript.
- In figure 3 it appears to me that there is co-localization between ENaC and amphiphysin. Is this not a positive piece of information? I am not sure that FBP17 is a good F-BAR domain to use given its oligomerization may well prevent membrane association of Nedd4L. Minor comment: I don't see tubules for amphiphysin in panel B.
__Reply: __The reviewer states that there is co-localization between Nedd4L and amphiphysin1 (Fig. 3A). However, Nedd4L was not recruited to membrane tubules generated by amphiphysin1. We will clearly show that there is no colocalization between Nedd4L and amphiphysin1.
The reviewer states that FBP17 may not be a good F-BAR domain to use because its oligomerization may well prevent membrane association of Nedd4L. However, we have shown that FCHO2 as well as FBP17 forms oligomer (Uezu et al. Genes Cells, 16, 868-878, 2011). Furthermore, we have found that FCHO2 inhibits the membrane binding and catalytic activity of Nedd4L when the PS percentage in liposomes is elevated (unpublished data and Fig. 9C). Thus, since FBP17 and FCHO2 probably have similar properties, we presume that FBP17 is a good F-BAR domain to use.
As the reviewer pointed out, membrane tubules generated by amphiphysin1 were hardly detected in HEK293 cells (Fig. 3B). It showed punctate staining, but did not co-localized with Nedd4L. This description will be added in the revised manuscript.
- Figure 5: The affinity of Nedd4 C2 domain for calcium is quite high given we normally assume a cytosolic concentration of 100nM (approximate). The authors have rightly buffered the calcium with EGTA. Normally we would check that the buffering is sufficient by varying the protein concentration and making sure the affinity is still the same, so can I suggest the authors use 3 or 4 times the amount of C2 domain and make sure the curve does not change (provided liposomes are not limiting). Minor comment: How many experiments and what are error bars (SD?).
__Reply: __According to the reviewer’s comment, we will check that the buffering is sufficient by varying the protein concentration (Fig. 5). We will also add a description of statistics to the legend to Fig. 5.
- Figure 6: Controls have been performed to ensure that liposomes are pelleted, according to methods. In Figure 6B can the authors show that there is the same amount of liposomes in each sample by showing more of the coomassie gel so that the reader can see the Neutravidin band is the same in each sample. Also I believe a student t-test should not be used in this experiment (but perhaps an Anova test), and in panel D there does not appear to be a description of statistics.
__Reply: __To ensure that the same amounts of liposomes were pelleted, the reviewer suggests that we show more of the Coomassie gel to present the neutravidin bands in Fig. 6B. However, as the molecular weight of neutravidin is about 15 kDa, neutravidin run out of the gel (7% SDS-PAGE gel) where Nedd4L (As the reviewer pointed out, we will use an Anova test in Fig. 6B. We will also add a description of statistics in Fig. 6D.
- Figure 11: In panel B I note that the FCHo2 BAR domain on small liposomes appears to inhibit Ubiquitination. Is this consistent with the BAR domain not preventing Nedd4L binding?
__Reply: __The FCHO2 BAR domain enhances the liposome binding and catalytic activity of Nedd4L when the strength of interaction of Nedd4L with liposomes (20% PS) is weak. In contrast, we have also found that the FCHO2 BAR domain inhibits the membrane binding and catalytic activity of Nedd4L when the interaction of Nedd4L with liposomes is increased by elevating the PS percentage in liposomes (unpublished data and Fig. 9C). The reason for the different effects of FCHO2 on Nedd4L is considered as follows: When liposomes (20% PS) are used (the interaction of Nedd4L with PS in liposomes is weak), Nedd4L binds to liposomes mainly through ENaC (Fig. 8F). The liposome binding is hardly mediated by PS. Addition of the FCHO2 BAR domain increases the strength of interaction Nedd4L with PS by generating membrane curvature. Consequently, the FCHO2 BAR domain newly induces the PS-mediated liposome binding of Nedd4L, resulting in the enhancement of liposome binding and catalytic activity of Nedd4L. On the other hand, when the interaction of Nedd4L with PS in liposomes is increased by elevating the PS percentage in liposomes (50% PS), the liposome binding of Nedd4L is mainly mediated by PS. Addition of the FCHO2 BAR domain inhibits the PS-mediated liposome binding of Nedd4L. Since both FCHO2 and Nedd4L are PS-binding proteins, they compete with each other to bind to PS in liposomes. Therefore, the results in Fig. 11B are consistent, because the interaction of Nedd4L with PS is increased by 0.05 µm pore-size liposomes. This explanation will be added in the revised manuscript.
__Reviewer #2 __
The authors have reported the involvement of the BAR domain-containing protein FCHO2 in the Nedd4L-mediated endocytosis of ENaC. They propose a model in which the membrane curvature induced by the BAR domain-FCHO2 relieves the auto-inhibition of E3 ligase causing its activation and recruitment. The paper describes a series of in vitro reconstituted experiments that are interesting but not fully connected with the mechanism of ENaC endocytosis. Additional experiments are needed to fully support the authors' conclusions.
Major comments:
- Although the data reported by the authors regarding FCHO2 and Nedd4L involvement in ENaC endocytosis are convincing, it is suggested that the authors perform the same ENaC endocytosis assay presented in Fig.1B under conditions of FBP17 and amphiphysin1 siRNA to formally prove the selective involvement of FCHO2 in the process among other BAR-containing proteins.
__Reply: __The reviewer suggests the same ENaC endocytosis assay presented in Fig. 1B under conditions of FBP17 and amphiphysin1 siRNA to prove the selective involvement of FCHO2 in ENaC endocytosis. There seems to be a misunderstanding. Similar to FCHO2, FBP17 and amphiphysin are well known to be involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. As ENaC is internalized through clathrin-mediated endocytosis, FBP17 and amphiphysin siRNA presumably inhibit ENaC endocytosis. We cannot understand the significance of FBP17 and amphiphysin1 siRNA in the ENaC endocytosis assay.
- According to the previous point, it will be interesting to see not only a snapshot image of the internalisation assay performed by immunofluorescence (Fig.1C) but a more quantitative analysis of the different time points (as in Fig.1B) in condition of FCHO2 siRNA and eventually FBP17 and amphiphysin1 siRNA.
__Reply: __According to the reviewer’s comment, we will perform a quantitative analysis in Fig. 1C. The reviewer also suggests the immunofluorescence assay at the different time point in Fig. 1C. However, we show the time course of ENaC internalization in Fig. 1B. We do not think that the time course in the immunofluorescence assay is further required. As for FBP17 and amphiphysin siRNA, our response is the same as that to the comment 1 of this reviewer.
- In Fig.2B, overexpression of the catalytically inactive version of Nedd4L (Nedd4L C922A) would help to see Nedd4L-ENaC co-localization.
__Reply: __This comment is the same as the comment 4 of the reviewer#1.
- In Fig.4D, the authors need to analyse ENaC ubiquitination in the same experimental setting as Fig. 4A instead of transfecting cells with increasing amounts of Nedd4L in the presence or absence of FCHO2 BAR. It is also recommended to include Nedd4L C922A as an additional control.
__Reply: __The reviewer requests us to analyse ENaC ubiquitination in the same setting as Fig. 4A. However, an in vivo autoubiquitination assay is widely used to determine the catalytic activity of E3 Ub ligase, because the E3 activity is typically reflected in their autoubiquitination. Therefore, the autoubiquitination assay is sufficient to show that Nedd4L is specifically activated by membrane tubules generated by FCHO2 in cells. Furthermore, we have found it very difficult to compare ENaC ubiquitination among many GFP-BAR proteins (GFP alone, GFP-FCHO2, GFP-FBP17, amphiphysin1-GFP, GFP-FCHO2 mutant) in the same experimental setting as Fig. 4A. In Fig. 4A, three types of cDNAs (HA-Ub, Myc-Nedd4L, and GFP-BAR protein) were transfected in cells. The expression amounts of Myc-Nedd4L were similar among the GFP-BAR proteins. On the other hand, in Fig. 4D, four types of cDNA (HA-Ub, Myc-Nedd4L, GFP-BAR protein, and FLAG-αENaC) were transfected in cells. Under these conditions, it is very difficult to adjust the expression amounts of Nedd4L and αENaC among many GFP-BAR proteins. Even when comparing two GFP-BAR proteins (GFP alone and GFP-FCHO2), it was necessary to assess the expression amounts of Nedd4L by transfection with various cDNA amounts of Nedd4L (Fig. 4D). Moreover, as shown in Fig. 4D, enhancement of ENaC ubiquitination by FCHO2 is decreased at higher expression of Nedd4L (1.0 and 1.5 μg DNA), although the reason is unknown. Therefore, we are not sure that we will able to accurately analyse ENaC ubiquitination in the same setting as Fig. 4A instead of transfecting cells with increasing amounts of Nedd4L.
According to the reviewer’s comment, we will examine the effect of Nedd4L C922A on ENaC ubiquitination.
- While discussing the role of hydrophobic residues in Nedd4L C2 domain,the authors never mentioned the publication by Escobedo et al., Structure 2014 (DOI:10.1016/j.str.2014.08.016), which highlighted how I37 and L38 are directly involved in Ca2+ binding. This aspect should be discussed since the authors show the importance of Ca2+ for PS binding in the sedimentation assay.
__Reply: __According to the reviewer’s comment, we will cite the reference (Escobedo et al.) and discuss the aspect (I37 and L38 are directly involved in Ca2+ binding).
- As stated by the authors those two residues I37 and L38 are also involved in E3 enzyme activation by relieving C2-HECT interaction. It is important to further demonstrate the effect of these mutations on ENaC substrate.
__Reply: __To prove that the I37 and F38 residues are involved in E3 enzyme activation by relieving C2-HECT interaction, the reviewer requests us to further demonstrate the effect of Nedd4L I37A+F38A on ENaC ubiquitination. However, these two residues are critical noy only for Nedd4L activation but also for membrane binding and curvature sensing of Nedd4L. We also show that membrane binding of Nedd4L is critical for ENaC ubiquitination. Actually, we have found that Nedd4L I37A+F38A mutant, which loses membrane binding, shows little ENaC ubiquitination (unpublished data), whereas it enhances autoubiquitination (Fig. 4C). Thus, the effect of the I37A+F38A mutant on ENaC ubiquitination is not appropriate to prove that the two residues are involved in E3 enzyme activation.
- There are some concerns regarding the in vitro ubiquitination assay performed in Fig.8 and following figures. The Nedd4L proteins used during the assay has been produced as His tagged at the C-terminus, it was reported (Maspero et al, Nat Struct Mol Biol 2013 DOI: 10.1038/nsmb.2566), at least for the isolated HECT domain, that modification of the C-terminal residue of the protein affects its activity. It would be important to judge the activity of the purified proteins used in the assay. Moreover, as additional control it is suggested the introduction of a mSA-ENaC PY mutant protein. The authors claimed the importance of membrane localized PY motif for recruitment and activation of Nedd4L, it would be informative to perform the experiment in presence of PY mutated ENaC.
__Reply: __The reviewer states that there are some concerns regarding His-tagged Nedd4L proteins. We have prepared Nedd4L that has no tag at its N- or C-terminus. N-terminal GST-tagged, C-terminal untagged Nedd4L was expressed in E. coli and purified by Glutathione-Sepharose column chromatography. The GST tag was cleaved off and Nedd4L was further purified by Mono Q anion-exchange column chromatography. Using this purified sample, we have examined the catalytic activity of untagged Nedd4L. We have found that concerning Ca2+-dependency, PS-dependency, and curvature-sensing, the properties of untagged Nedd4L are similar to those of C-terminal His-tagged Nedd4L (unpublished data).
According to the reviewer’s comment, we will perform the experiment in the presence of PY-mutated ENaC.
- It is not clear why increasing the concentration of PS (from 20% to 50%) the presence of BAR domain doesn't allow ENaC ubiquitination (Fig.9C), is Nedd4L not recruited to the pellet? It would be interesting to see the sedimentation experiment of Fig.9A done in presence of 50% PS.
__Reply: __This comment is essentially the same as the comment 8 of the reviewer#1. We have found that FCHO2 BAR domain inhibits the membrane binding of Nedd4L when the PS percentage in liposomes is elevated (~50%) (unpublished data). According to the reviewer’s comment, these data will be added in the revised manuscript.
- This reviewer is not an expert of lipids biology, thus the explanations related to the effect of FCHO2 BAR in presence of PI(4,5)P2 (Fig. 10) or 0.05 pore-size liposomes (Fig.11) were not clear. Does FCHO2 BAR have a different effect in inducing membrane tubulation in these two conditions? Is this parameter measurable by tubulation assay?
__Reply: __According to the reviewer’s comment, we will write more clearly the explanation related to the effect of FCHO2 BAR domain in the presence of PI(4,5)P2 or 0.05 μm pore-size liposomes.
Minor Comments
- It would be appreciated if a nuclei staining panel is included in all immunofluorescence images, as it would help to identify the number of cells in the field of view (e.g., Fig. 1C, Fig. 2B).
__Reply: __According to the reviewer’s comment, we will show immunofluorescence images to identify the number of cells in Fig. 1C and Fig. 2B.
- It would be recommended to include colocalization analysis, such as Pearson's correlation coefficient or Manders coefficient in immunofluorescence images.
__Reply: __According to the reviewer comment, we plan to perform quantitative colocalization analysis in Fig. 2.
- It is not clear how the quantitation of mSA-ENaC ubiquitination in Fig.8D, 8C, and 9B was performed. Did the authors normalise the detected Ub signal over the amount of unmodified mSA-ENaC?
__Reply: __We did not normalize the detected Ub signals over the amount of unmodified mSA-ENaC, because the same amount of mSA-ENaC was added in each assay. The chemiluminescence intensity of Ub signals was quantified by scanning using ImageJ. According to the reviewer’ comment, we will clearly describe how the quantification of mSA-ENaC ubiquitination was performed.
__Reviewer #3 __
--- Summary ---
The manuscript by Sakamoto et al. describes how the ubiquitin ligase Nedd4L is activated by membrane curvature generated by the endocytic protein FCHO2. For their experiments, the authors use the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) as a model Nedd4L target and CME cargo. The authors start their manuscript by showing in cells the importance of FCHo2 and Nedd4L in ENaC internalization. Using a combination of experiments in cells and biochemistry, the authors show that Nedd4L binds preferentially to membranes with the same curvature generated by FCHO2. Next, the authors show that a combination of membrane composition (PS), calcium concentration, PY domain presence and membrane curvature all act in concert to recruit Nedd4L to membranes and fully release its ubiquitination activity. Crucially, the authors show that role of FCHO2 in Nedd4L recruitment is not direct, with FCHO2 simply generating an optimal membrane curvature for Nedd4L binding. Taken together, the authors suggest a mechanism by which the curvature of early clathrin coated pits, generated by FCHO1/2 define an optimal environment for the recruitment and activation of the ubiquitin ligase Nedd4L.
The manuscript convincingly shows the membrane curvature-dependent mechanism of Nedd4L activation. The biochemistry experiments in the manuscript are well designed and the results are of clear. The quality of these experiments is very high. The experiments in cells are, however, not of the same level of quality.
--- Major comments ---
1) The results do not show convincingly that Nedd4L is recruited to CCPs. There is plenty of indirect evidence, but to support the model shown in the last figure, authors need to show more than the staining in figure 2C. Live-cell imaging showing the post-FCHo2 recruitment of Nedd4L would be required. I understand that the recruitment would possibly occur in a fraction of events and may be difficult to catch. The cmeAnalysis script from the danuser lab(https://doi.org/10.1016/j.devcel.2013.06.019 can facilitate the identification of these events.
__Reply: __According to the reviewer comment, we plan to examine by live-cell TIRF microscopy that Nedd4L is recruited to CCPs.
2) What happens to ENaC in Nedd4L and FCHO2 knockdown cells? One would expect accumulation of the receptor on the surface.
__Reply: __We have found that upon Nedd4L or FCHO2 knockdown, αENaC accumulates at the cell surface in αβγENaC-HeLa cells. According to the reviewer’s comment, we will show these data in the revised manuscript.
*3) In the experiments in figure 1, it would be important to use a standard CME cargo as an internal control (transferrin). This will serve as a functional confirmation of FCHO2 knockdown and help the reader to put the Need4L knockdown experiments into the context of CME. *
__Reply: __According to the reviewer’s comment, we will use a standard CME cargo as an internal control (transferrin).
*4) Quantification for the rescue experiment is required (figure 1C). if not possible, at least a picture where the reader can see transfected and non-transfected cells side-by-side is necessary. *
Reply: This comment is the same as those of the reviewer#1 (comment 3) and reviewer#2 (comment 2). According to the reviewer’s comment, we plan to quantify the rescue experiment (Fig. 1C).
*--- Minor comments --- *
*1) The experiments in figure 3 must be presented in order as they are in the text. For example, figure 3E is cited in the text into the context of figure 7. It is very confusing. *
__Reply: __According to the reviewer’ s comment, we will present the experiments in Fig. 3 in order they are in the text.
*2) A better explanation of the assay in 1C would facilitate its understanding for the non-specialist reader. The reader needs to read the methods section to understand how it was done. *
__Reply: __According to the reviewer’ comment, we will write a better explanation of the assay in the Fig. 1C legend to enable the readers to understand how it was done.

My comments are all relatively minor and I hope can improve the readability of the paper, but will not alter the overall conclusion as this is well backed up. In general I would like to see more/better statistics/quantitation and better figure legends. I found that often one had to read the paper to understand a figure where reading the figure legend should suffice.
This paper reminds me of a paper from Gilbert Di Paolo's lab on the activation of synaptojanin PIP2 hydrolysis by high membrane curvature. One would expect that there may be many such proteins whose activities will be dependent on their membrane environment. I find it conceptually rather likely that a protein which interacts with membranes via a C2 domain (which has membrane insertions and will thus likely be curvature sensitive) will likely show some positive curvature sensitivity. Can I suggest this paper is referenced and discussed in the light of the discussion statement "Thus, our findings provide a new concept of signal transduction in which a specific degree of membrane curvature serves as a signal for activation of an enzyme that regulates a number of substrates."
Where the paper could be improved (or I have not understood fully) In figure 1 there is a robust endocytosis of ENaC that is FCHo2 and Nedd4L sensitive. There is a rescue for FCHo2 in a fluorescence image (unquantified), so it would be good to have the more quantitative approach of rescue with both FCHo2 and Nedd4L in the biochemical assay.
In figure 2 there is nice co-localisation between clathrin/FCHo2 and ENaC but not with Nedd4L. It would be good to have some quantitation of the co-localisation. But also one should use a Nedd4L mutant or a mutant of ENaC and so be able to visualise co-localisation between receptor and ub-ligase. I find it strange that there is no (or much less) Nedd4L-GFP visible in the cells overexpressing ENaC... Is there an explanation? Does overexpression of ENaC lead to more auto-ubiquitination of Nedd4L. Also the Nedd4L-GFP signal in other cells is punctate, while in the next figure Myc-Nedd4L is not.
In figure 3 it appears to me that there is co-localization between ENaC and amphiphysin. Is this not a positive piece of information? I am not sure that FBP17 is a good F-BAR domain to use given its oligomerization may well prevent membrane association of Nedd4L. Minor comment: I don't see tubules for amphiphysin in panel B.
Figure 5: The affinity of Nedd4 C2 domain for calcium is quite high given we normally assume a cytosolic concentration of 100nM (approximate). The authors have rightly buffered the calcium with EGTA. Normally we would check that the buffering is sufficient by varying the protein concentration and making sure the affinity is still the same, so can I suggest the authors use 3 or 4 times the amount of C2 domain and make sure the curve does not change (provided liposomes are not limiting). Minor comment: How many experiments and what are error bars (SD?).
Figure 6: Controls have been performed to ensure that liposomes are pelleted, according to methods. In Figure 6B can the authors show that there is the same amount of liposomes in each sample by showing more of the coomassie gel so that the reader can see the Neutravidin band is the same in each sample. Also I believe a student t-test should not be used in this experiment (but perhaps an Anova test), and in panel D there does not appear to be a description of statistics.
Figure 11: In panel B I note that the FCHo2 BAR domain on small liposomes appears to inhibit Ubiquitination. Is this consistent with the BAR domain not preventing Nedd4L binding?
I enjoyed reading the paper by Sakamoto and colleagues, where they show that Nedd4L ubiquitin ligase activity is stimulated by membranes and in particular positive membrane curvature. This paper is a conceptual advance that hopefully will be extended by many other groups where membranes topology participates in the activation of associated enzymes, giving rise to added complexity but also specificity and further compartmentmentalization. It is an importnat paper for all cell biologists to understand.
Learning does not happen in a vacuum. It is influenced by social dynamics, most notably between students and their peers.
this reminds me of the "whiteboard effect" and the concept of collaborative learning as described by cal newport in his book, deep work.
such dynamics cultivate a culture of fortuitous learning and the exchange of ideas. when another individual is present, it instills a sense of accountability and motivation to dive profoundly into a problem and the gaps of each other's knowledge than we might when woking in solitude.
Luddites were upset that textile factories were using machines to replace them, leaving them unemployed, so they sabotaged the machines. The English government sent soldiers to stop them, killing and executing many
This seams like an example of fighting fire with fire. I think that in this scenario all parties were in the wrong, especially the fact that they decided to execute many of the factory workers, although the workers did not go about the situation the right way. This reminds me about conversations involving AI taking over human jobs. Although I think humans have made it this far with having machines and still having jobs so I think that well be able to last in the future.
Furthermore, Bhattacharya and Packalen construct a model that demonstrates just how devastating the emphasis on citations and h-index can be in disincentivizing real scientific exploration. Because, while citations are one important metric in science, actual scientific progress depends on a steady flow of exploratory tinkering and new ideas.
More dangers of bibliometrics. Also reminds me of John Cormendy's retracted paper about career success in astrophysics
even when only mi-nor differences exist between the two switches
This reminds me of that youtube video at the end when the MC was asking pancy about what if they changed the code in the switch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQW6Wwq67ko&t=751s&ab_channel=ACMSIGCOMM
Personal emotional filters could filter content and translate interactions to provide only a particular emotional response, depending on how we want to feel at a given moment, perhaps delegating control to an AI that we trust to craft our emotional experience. (And here, another step: trust gives way to control, naturally.)
this particularly reminds me of the premise to a Alastair Reynolds short-story, Zima Blue. (Was presented in a Netflix special, although I don't think the short did the story much justice …)
cause their cultural characteristics are more consistent with the culture, norms, and expectations of the school than are those of other groups of students-have greater opportunities
this reminds me of a lot of the past lectures we've had I which it shows how the education system isn't fair not everyone has the same opportunities.
“For optimal learning to occur, the brain needs conditions under which it is able to change in response to stimuli (neuroplasticity) and able to produce new neurons (neurogenesis).
The term "neuroplasticity" always reminds me of a Tedx Talk I watched many years ago about the concept. I had never heard of it before, so I was absolutely floored at the idea that our brains are constantly changing. In fact, I still think it's interesting! I'd never heard of the term neurogenesis before reading this article, but hopefully there's a Tedx Talk I can watch on that too!
If just five families, from each low birth rate culture, that is endangered, is able to build an intergenerationally durable culture, it will survive. We don’t need everyone to have kids. We need a few people to figure out. There will be a big choke point. A lot of people aren’t going to make it through. That’s OK. The future is going to be bright.
This reminds me of when I read, "God Emperor of Dune" when Leto talks about wanting humanity to truely be able to make long term decisions
The peoples of the Middle East are often portrayed as weak, barbaric and irrational
This reminds me of a time when a CBS news reporter called iraq and afghanistan uncivilized when speaking about Ukraine (see https://www.thewrap.com/cbs-charlie-dagata-backlash-ukraine-civilized/). This is an example of Orientalism and how white Europeans see Middle Easterns as uneducated, terroists etc. Iraq is home to one of the first civilizations, Babylon, which is much older than any European state today. A meme came out as a response to this news reporter's comment which I thought was really funny and really explains Orientalism well. You can see the meme here: https://www.facebook.com/iraqibantz/posts/uncivilized-mesopotamia-iraq-gave-the-worldthe-wheelmass-produced-ceramics-mathe/432828531944121/
Said shows how Orientalist writings and ideologies actively shape the world they describe, and how they perpetuate views of Middle Eastern people as inferior, subservient, and in need of saving.
This reminds me of the involvment of America in Iraq (my country) when the Americans came to kill Sadam Hussein as if they were trying to help the middle Easterns by bringing justice to them. However, this was not the case and they actually got involved for political reasons to benefit the US and demolish Iraq. They made it seem as the west was "saving the middle east". This is very typical with white colonization where they completely discredit the ancient civilizations the middle east is built on.
Military discipline is no longer a mere means of preventing looting, desertion or failure to obey orders among the troops; it has become a basic technique to enable the army to exist, not as an assembled crowd, but as a unity that derives from this very unity an increase in its forces; discipline increases the skill of each individual, coordinates these skills, accelerates movements, increases fire power, broadens the fronts of attack without reducing their vigour, increases the capacity for resistance, etc.
This in a way reminds me of the American military-industrial complex.
Human resources practitioners may choose to include the administra-tion of motivational profiles as part of the employee recruitment and se-lection processes. There are valid and reliable instruments that take littletime to complete and are self scoring available for purchase.
This reminds me of some job applications I fill out, where they require you to fill out a questionarre about your personality and work habits. They are not even related to the job most of the time, but they are intended to gauge a potential employees personality and work ethic.

The 'Join Now' button is only accessible via mouse and cannot be navigated to from the keyboard setting only. The Site limits accessibility to users who navigate solely using their keyboard and have a hard time using their mouse. This reminds me of Joseph, who suffers from quadriplegia, it would hard for him to sign up without using his mouse making this site inoperable for him.
the whole point of a "sleeper cell" is to remain innocuous until the last moment before springing into violent action.
This heavily reminds me of V's time in the camp right before his escape. He became more docile and requested for odd items and sorted them. Then to the surprise of everyone else at the camp he blew it up in his escape.
The DOJ guidelines went far beyond any legitimate quest for factual information.
This reminds me of some of the fingers who were more fixated of finding V by any rather than morally doing so, or the opening detectives in the book that were planning on raping Evey.
The latter approach is114distinguished from previous BLAST or HMM based approaches because it queries on protein115clusters (i.e., alignments) instead of individual sequences, which greatly reduced both the116false positive and negative rates of virus identification.
clever. Reminds me of NCBI's new clustered nr database
Ban: Platforms can permanently ban users and also try to ban users coming from certain internet connections
It also reminds me of the shadow ban, which is not readily apparent to the user. The action may be taken by an individual or an algorithm. A shadow-banned content would be visible to the sender, but not to other users.
Maybe you were new to the country and to the language, embar-rassed to show that you did not always understand what was being said, or how best to formulate your sentences.
this reminds me of the readings from previous class in which immigration can also have an impact in the education gap. Sometimes a child not participating in class doesn't mean they aren't paying attention everyone has a different situation going on whether its shyness, language barriers etc...
Purposes of causal arguments
entire section reminds me of a cause and effect of an experiment.
Gannon goes on to explain that the benefit of inclusive design is that it works to the benefit of many students, not just those who have been disenfranchised
This also reminds me of UDL - universal design for learning, which means designs are made to be accessible for everyone and to help everyone and anyone. One example of both of these concepts is automatic doors, which help individuals with motor disabilities but also individuals who are carrying a lot of stuff and don't have a free hand. Transcripts for videos such as ted talks help individuals with auditory impairments, but also individuals who are in a public space without headphones but still want to access the content.
there is both a growing realization of structural inequities across our social systems, including and especially our educational systems, and a denial on the part of many that such inequities exist,
Again, this reminds me of current events...like banning CRT in schools while simultaneously arguing that racism isn't a problem anymore...
A spectrum with an overly-whiggish "if capitalism isn't working, try more capitalism" view on poverty abolition on the one side and the unabomber on the other side is a frame. What if it's not a polarity thing, what if it's a triangle because of a third thing that we dismiss as anomalous when we put on that frame's blinders? What if the best path forward isn't splitting the difference between the extremes somehow, but has nothing to do with those extremes?
Ooo, isn't there a name for this? People's tendency to take two sides on any issue instead of realizing the spectrum of opinion is a triangle instead of a line. Reminds me of John Greene's video about a math equation and the green/blue dress.
When physical mail was dominant in the 1900s, one type of mail that spread around the US was a chain letter. Chain letters were letters that instructed the recipient to make their own copies of the letter and send them to people they knew.
This reminds me so much of all the posts on the internet that say things like "like this post and send it to 10 friends for good luck or you will have bad luck for the rest of your life". I definitely see that as the evolution of these chain letters. It is funny to know that while the world has changed a lot since then, humans were still up to this sort of stuff.
Gordon Brander on how Maggie Appleton's point in her talk may be addressed: by humans signing their output (it doesn't preclude humans signing generated output I suppose, which amounts to the same result as not signing) Appleton suggests IRL meet-ups are key here for the signing. Reminds me of the 'parties' where we'd sign / vouch for each others SSL certs. Or how already in Threema IRL meet-ups are used to verify Threema profiles as mutually trusted. Noosphere is more than this though? It would replace the current web with its own layer. (and issues). Like Maggie Appleton mentions Dead Internet Theory

Time since posting (e.g., show newer posts, or remind me of posts that were made 5 years ago today)
This reminds me of how the instagram feed has changed over the years. They have a new algorithm that shows you what they think you want to see from the last 2 or 3 days, then when you scroll through that, you have the ability to see more. The posts are no longer in chronological order and I know that most (if not all) people preferred when it was in chronological order.
The revised Bloom’s taxonomy (2001) is organized into six categories
I think that this is a really interesting way of viewing cognitive learning. It almost reminds me of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, with create being an ultimate goal once you get past the others. I had never heard of this before this article so I found it really interesting to read about.
As educators, our goal is to teach students, not just by transferring knowledge to them, but by creating meaningful learning experiences that support their knowledge and skill development.
This reminds me of when I was in elementary school. I would always ask my teachers why we were learning something and why it is important. I think it is important for teachers to be able to educate their students on things by doing more than just lecturing and relaying information.
addition
this reminds me of the substitution and addition reaction mechanisms from organic chemistry and i wonder if that is SN1/2 and E1/2 concepts being applied into practice?
Capabilities offer an elegant solution, but seem to be little known among functional programmers
I've been reading a lot more about capabilities lately. This reminds me of the Capability-based computer systems paper by Henry M. Levy that was published in 1984
For instance, the programme All the Family is Gay (1991) featured a mother and her four lesbian daughters who were estranged by the mother’s homophobia
Is this an episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show? I couldn't find anything about it online. Why would a TV show bring out gay people during a time in which it wasn't widely accepted and give light to homophobia? This reminds me of the murder following the Judy Jones show.
What is not being said?
Privacy tracking settings
This reminds me of how Snapchat AI claims that it does not track its user, even though it does. The AI will tell you about something near you but then say they do not have your location.
So while low-income communities are often viewed through what they lack, a closer look reveals resources that bind the community together and help support those who live there.
It's interesting to point out that low-income areas also have resources that they can use. This reminds me of the poor rural areas in southern China, where the government's idea of "turning the countryside into a scenic spot" is to turn the woods and surrounding areas into open tourist destinations, and organically combine B&Bs, restaurants and bookstores to bring more and better job opportunities and living places for local villagers while preserving the original texture and rural characteristics.
In areas of high automobile traffic, such as in large cities, the amount of nitrogen oxides emitted into the atmosphere can be quite significant. In the Los Angeles area, the main source of acid rain is from automobiles. In certain national parks such as Yosemite and Sequoia, automobile traffic is banned to limit the amount of air pollution damage to the trees and plants. This also has the effect of reducing the visual smog in the air.
This reminds me of when during COVID lockdown, the air began to look a lot clearer because of the decreased usage of cars.
Communication with teachers and school representatives was never an easy fit for my parents. They both had negative experiences with schooling when they were kids, and the residual feelings from those experiences, what Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot (2003) called "generational echoes," surely affected their views of interacting with school representatives.
It's evident from the author's experiences that early interactions with teachers and classmates can significantly impact a person's self-confidence and sense of belonging. These stories demonstrate the importance of teachers showing genuine interest in their students, regardless of their socio-economic background. The story also highlights the crucial role of communication between parents and teachers in fostering a supportive learning environment. It reminds me of that a small gesture of inclusivity can have a long-lasting positive impact on someone's life and that educators should strive to make every student feel valued and connected.
“When you don’t pay for the product, you are the product.”
This phrase is very interesting and reminds me that nothing is ever free, there is always a hidden cost or ulterior motive with some sort of agenda.
The industrial complex – the fact that people who are just trying to feed theirfamilies are in detention. It’s jail. And people are making money off that.Corporations are benefiting. It’s horrible. [As for DACA], what about ourfamilies? People who couldn’t finish high school because they are disabled. [Weneed to highlight] the complexities about immigrants in the country. [You can’t]just throw people under the bus if you’re OK [because you have DACA]. The ideathat gay marriage is the only thing we need to worry about. How are trans people
This reminds me of Sylvia Rivera and what I learned about her in another class. She was an activist who saw the bigger picture it wasn't just about being accepted. It was about the people who were struggling the most, the ones that need help. She wanted those voices to get heard. And I feel like Julio Salgado is trying the same to give them these voice he doesn't want to silence anybody but rather give them a voice and make them have a space to share their stories.
I watch all the players taking the field. It is wonderful to see the overwhelming amount of players on one team from around the world: Japan, the Dominican Republic, the United States, Canada, and Venezuela. I cannot help but feel a bit of national pride at this realization. Seeing the international representation on the field reminds me of the ways that Americans, though from many different backgrounds and places, still come together under common ideals. For these reasons and for the whole experience in general,
They talk about how great it is to see players from all over with different backgrounds come together to play ball, and they all have the same great experiences. (Ground Zero talks about how visitors from all over the world come together to experience honor or Grief with each other.
When snow melts rapidly in the spring, the stream or lake may be "shocked" with an excessive amount of acid. In the spring, at the time of acid snow melting, the various aquatic organisms are reproducing and are the most sensitive increases in acid.
That is very interesting how just the fast movement of snow melting can produce an over amount of acid in the streams or lakes. Reminds me of ways pools are "shocked" for maintaining a clean pool.
or example, even though Afri-can Americans live closer to high-quality hospitals than Caucasians,they are more likely to undergo surgery at low-quality hospitals.
Reminds me of neighborhood dynamics around Johns Hopkins or Cleveland Clinic, where the Black community is directly adjacent, but gets care elsewhere.
Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. In class, we went over some of the implications of the laws that various Daimyo passed in their territories. It was interesting to me that so much attention was paid to seemingly minute details; it reminds me of the sort of extremely strict discipline present in modern professional armies. Although it might seem like an obvious point to make, the strictness of the ordinances implies to me the desperation of the conflicts that engulfed Japan during the period. Strict rules, many of which seem to promote readiness among those who are affected by them, seem like very good ways of bringing one’s army to peak fighting readiness.
I did find Nobunga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu to be interesting as well - though to be honest when it came to reading the strict rules, it, to me seemed like the recurring symbol that we have seen in Japanese history from Prince Shokotu up to now, except here these laws were more central to the militant place where Japan was at the time, where it became not only a sense of honor but these law kept people from finding loopholes and kept a certain rigidity to it all - a for the three conquerers this was interesting to me because conquers are generally interesting such as Napoleon, Khan, Caesar, etc except in this case these three were helped in the unification of Japan which is important in its history, before it was a puzzle of tribal states but it was getting nearer and nearer to where we know it to be today
Tries to portray unity among the audience auditorily by mentioning the "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." Also visually by pointing out the nationalities of the crowd and tying it into unification.
"The organ starts playing and everyone begins to sing 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game.' While singing the song, putting my arms around friends and family with me,"
" I watch all the players taking the field. It is wonderful to see the overwhelming amount of players on one team from around the world: Japan, the Dominican Republic, the United States, Canada, and Venezuela."
"I cannot help but feel a bit of national pride at this realization. Seeing the international representation on the field reminds me of the ways that Americans, though from many different backgrounds and places, still come together under common ideals. For these reasons and for the whole experience in general, going to a Major League Baseball game is the perfect way to glimpse a slice of Americana."
All the ‘best people’ from the gentlemen’s clubs, and all the frantic Fascist captains, united in common hatred of Socialism and bestial horror at the rising tide of the mass revolutionary movement, have turned to acts of provocation, to foul incendiarism, to medieval legends of poisoned wells, to legalize their own destruction of proletarian organizations, and rouse the agitated petty-bourgeoise to chauvinistic fervor on behalf of the fight against the revolutionary way out of the crisis.
This reminds me of a lot of similar situations where people just start throwing in buzz words because they don't really know what's going on but they have heard a lot of words related to a topic before and so they just start throwing them everywhere they can
A primary source of stereotyping is often the teacher educa-tion program itself. It is in these programs that teachers learn that poor students and students of color should be expected co achieve less than their "mainstream" counterparts.
The idea that one of the main sources of stereotypes mentioned here is often the teacher education programs themselves is interesting. This reminds me of what I learned in Social Science 3A. In that class we talked about the issue of iq tests in the '90s, which were unfair to black people because they were tested in white culture. This coincides with the point made here.
Increasingly, online racial discrimination is impacting adolescents of color.
This reminds me of a real event that happened to me some time ago. When I was playing a game on the computer, someone abused me, and the content of the abuse made me feel strange as a foreigner. They call each other the n word. In retrospect, it's clear that this was a stereotype that led to discrimination against people of color.
shoring up a sense of cultural continuity in a period of rapid change
okay, I think I understand the difference between family style restaurants and Old Shanghai theme restaurants.
While this is not familiar, this reminds me of how when there was a period of rapid change with the spread and increased transmission of COVID that my family ate meals together and sometimes played board game, and these meals kept us grounded and connected to our collective values as the world around us was changing.
becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy for what too often becomes a trajectory of underachievement.
This reminds me of the previous reading, and the idea that students surrounded by motivated students tend to be more motivated and studious themselves. The concept of separating children by educational skill level inherently increases gaps by forcing the less studious children all together, and although many of them may be perfectly capable of accelerated learning with enough motivation, they are instead constrained to the label placed on them and the peers who are labeled the same.
Pedagogical – teaching others
See, I think that an argument can be made against this. While I a million percent agree that nothing can replace the relationship and support a human teacher can give a student which helps and is a giving tree to their learning, AI is growing stronger in terms of pedagogy. I think it's really hard for young children, but there are many instances in high school where students end up teaching themselves some of the subject matter through platforms such as Khan Academy. While some might call Khan Academy asynchronous learning because it's humans making the questions and videos, there's some AI that goes on in the review. This reminds me of any review system that uses an AI algorithm to detect students weak spots by how they answer questions and gives them review questions to target these weak spots. One might say that the intricacies of this tactic (knowing how to target students weaknesses based on their answers) is something only a teacher could do based on how they know their students, AI is becoming very good at this. Additionally, who's to say that AI in the future can't come up with questions, which is something that I've seen teachers use ChatGPT to do.
the closing of the town and its outlying districts, a prohibition to leave the town on pain of death, the killing of all stray animals; the division of the town into distinct quarters, each governed by an intendant. Each street is placed under the authority of a syndic, who keeps it under surveillance;
This reminds me of the pandemic and how people responded to being in quarantine. We couldn't go anywhere or do anything because of the fear of contracting COVID19. The way this reading is describing the partitions, I could imagine it is not only physical, but mental torture due to the amount of fear that has been instilled by the authorities.
That is why discipline fixes; it arrests or regulates movements; it clears up confusion; it dissipates compact groupings of individuals wandering about the country in unpredictable ways; it establishes calculated distributions.
This reminds me of when we talked about civilization without a government. How it could lead to chaos like the Hobbesian jungle.
“facts”
"facts" being in quotations is interesting because it implies that they are subjective to the author, and reminds me of the saying "history is written b y the victors" those in power have decided the facts, the history, the structures that govern us today
disciplinary power to observe; at the point where the universal punishments of the law are applied selectively to certain individuals and always the same ones; at the point where the redefinition of the juridical subject by the penalty becomes a useful training of the criminal;
This kind of reminds me of the police surveillance cameras, that are placed in certain areas.
the “crows”, who can be left to die: these are “people of little substance who carry the sick, bury the dead, clean and do many vile and abject offices”. It is a segmented, immobile, frozen space.
I’m not sure that I’m actually reading this properly but if I am I’m interpreting this sentence as the crows are people who do the dirty work of their society and are essentially disposable to them. This reminds me of how people treated “essential workers during the pandemic.
On the appointed day, everyone is ordered to stay indoors
This reminds me of what happened with COVID. We were in lockdown for so long it felt so dangerous to even step outside for necessities. Rules and states were shutting down one by one. Happened so fast it was kind of overwhelming
Five or six days after the beginning of the quarantine, the process of purifying the houses one by one is begun
this reminds me of the early stages of covid when everybody was quarantined from their own family in their house
Behind the disciplinary mechanisms can be read the haunting memory of “contagions”, of the plague, of rebellions, crimes, vagabondage, desertions, people who appear and disappear, live and die in disorder.
This reminds me of the Giver, how they wiped away the bad memories that were caused by the aspects of society and its structure. additionally, this could connect to the ideology of deterrence in sociology. This is where the higher authority or class gets to determine what is deviant and who can commit deviance. It’s almost as if the plague allowed their government to be in full control to get rid of” deviant acts”.
A whole literary fiction of the festival grew up around the plague: suspended laws, lifted prohibitions, the frenzy of passing time, bodies mingling together without respect, individuals unmasked, abandoning their statutory identity and the figure under which they had been recognized, allowing a quite different truth to appear.
This reminds me of the pandemic we experienced. How it was a “choice” to wear a mask and to social distance. Even though millions of people were dying, people were still defying these regulations.
, the lepers are treated as plague victims; the tactics of individualizing disciplines are imposed on the excluded; and, on the other hand, the universality of disciplinary controls makes it possible to brand the “leper” and to bring into play against him the dualistic mechanisms of exclusion.
This reminds me of prisoners who stay in solidarity confinement for a long time and then sometimes when the regroup with the public they are "deemed insane". Making the general public population of the prison, suffer and feel "insane" as well due to the actions of that person.
The magistrates have complete control over medical treatment; they have appointed a physician in charge; no other practitioner may treat, no apothecary prepare medicine, no confessor visit a sick person without having received from him a written note
This reminds me of the situation that is arising in many American states where the legislators have undiscussed power on people's medical treatments.
At each of the town gates there will be an observation post; at the end of each street sentinels.
This reminds me of the way that Gilead was organized, where there would be Guardians watching every movement of the handmaids.
the closing of the town and its outlying districts, a prohibition to leave the town
This reminds me of the movie, "Never Let Me Go", that my research project is about. The students are to stay on campus and never leave. They fear leaving because of stories they have heard of children that faced death once they left.
Everyone locked up in his cage,
This scenario so far is hitting close to home with the talks of quarantine and it reminds me of when we went into lockdown. Obviously it was nowhere near as extreme as this but this feels like something that could have happened to us if our government took things too far
if he leaves the street, he will be condemned to death.
This reminds me of when curfews were set in place during the beginning of COVID.
suggests a form of self-deception, a false sense of an idealized place that never was.
this reminds me of how we reflect on memories, and we idealize them, but then as we reflect, we realize that the experience we r thinking about wasn't as beautiful as we thought
eing a restaurateur was about providing service to anyone, for a customer was a customer, plain and simple.
this reminds me of the NYTimes article we read about the relationship between the restaurateur and the customer
for example, wearing fur as the only piece of clothing against a blistering wintery atmosphere)
This reminds me of one of your earlier points that included a picture of a serval and a woman wearing a coat. You drew a really nice connection between them both wearing/ having fur Obviously winter is the season one most commonly sees people wearing furs, out of both necessity and style. That consistent motif I think adds to the idea of becoming animal as they are literally wrapping themselves in it.
idea that horizontalism is a model and a demand and a philosophy rolled into one that it can’t possibly be shared by their political opposite
reminds me of twitter and teargas where they wouldnt let john speak
“White privilege is maintained through invisible,insidious operations of power that foster whiteness and racism.
This reminds me of a couple of professional development sessions I attended earlier in my teaching career. In one session, our school improvement leader presented on the concept of white privilege. Of course, some of my peers rejected the existence of this in education and weren't open to any discussion of the topic.
“new racism”
The use of the term "new racism" reminds me of the arguments laid out by Ibram X. Kendi in How to Be an Anti-Racist. I've always thought the definition of racism he gave in that book was spot on.
ease-of-use, and learnability
Reminds me of the technology acceptance model
Similarly, end-user license agreements (EULA) and terms of service (TOS) agreements feature opaque language that may cause you to give away your right to privacy without truly understanding what you are doing when you click “I agree.”
While I know that companies do this on purpose to gain rights to your information and for that reason any attempt to simplify these agreements will have pushback, I really think their needs to be an extension, tool, or platform that will put these forms into simpler terms. This is a prime example of the U in Pour (understandable), and it reminds me of how error signs need to tell us what's wrong in simple language so we can fix it just as these terms of agreement should be in understandable words and syntax so we know what we're signing.
The image’s small size makes it easy to share across Twitter, Facebook, reddit, or any other social media platform. Rather than weakening its claims, the meme’s simplicity is its strength; in the time it might take a person to write a cogent rebuttal to the image’s claims, users can share the image across dozens of pages and platforms, where it can be deployed as a counter to pro-immigration discussions or claims with little effort.
This is such an interesting note on the power of a meme and it's potential to spread a message. The article goes on to suggest that some platforms "manipulate social media trends". It makes one reflect on the message behind the memes that they may have sent recently, was it more than humour? The article also compares memes to propaganda and it reminds me of the propaganda used by the Nazi party during WWII and the way in which it portrayed such negative images of Jewish people in a way that was quickly understood and spread.
knowledge of the differences among the regional branches of the restaurant industry to be a measure of urban savoir faire
this reminds me of the tasting of dif regional cuisines by the guidebook writers
national unity and culture relative to the West.
this reminds me of the reading we read about "What is Chinese food" because they mentioned how Chinese food culture is superior to Western culture because of these same characteristics
Haste and pressure of business make division of labour necessary among ourselves, and each man must cultivate a specialty; so that if a man should appear who was well qualified for all posts, we should not believe in him; and more than that, we should not find him out. So soon as he showed excellence in one matter, he would be ticketed with that and tied down to it: any attempts in any other subject would be regarded as graceful by-works, but not as likely to lead to high success. Now in Athens there was not so much pressure, there was not so much tyranny of public opinion, and the state was smaller.
This passage gives me the sense that the work that we are good at but not necessarily passionate about are more valued in our society. Reminds me of the phrase, "If you love your job you never have to work a day in your life" Sometimes the work that we don`t like doing is some of our finest work and yet what we love to do may not be up to standard for some.
bust of former Belgian king Leopold lies on the ground at Stan-leyville on May 6, 1961, after it was removed from its base by Congolese work-ers. This bust, along with those of former Belgian king Albert and explorerHenry Stanley, symbols of brutal colonial rule under the Belgians, were takendown following Congolese independence and were replaced with statues of theslain leader Patrice Lumumba.
Shows the power of art and symbolism. Reminds me of the Civil War Confederacy statue debates happening in our country.
The result is a mul-tisensory interaction that creates the illusion that the user is inside the com-puter
reminds me of striking vipers
too much attention to the particulars of implementation may be distracting us from the bigger picture
This concept reminds me of part of a quote by the Buddhist Takuan Soho, "Preoccupied with a single leaf, you won't see the tree" which can be applied to a variety of scenarios such as what the author is covering here, where many focus on the implementation of academic assessment rather than whether it is necessary. The same quote can be related to students who focus so much on their grades that they are missing what the purposes of classes truly are, to have one learn.
On a piece of paper, I drew loops and arrows between my essays, looking for the thread that would connect them. I thought about the never-ending loop of discovery, the joy of researching places I had to look up on maps, the curiosity that compelled me to ask people to tell me their stories, the fascination I felt when I read how people understood love, or the stars, or history. The kinetic energy I felt every time I looked at the next semester’s schedule of classes, imagining myself immersed in Zulu, or Japanese mythology, or the diaries of Lady Montagu.
This reminds me a lot of a mind map that I do in my journaling. It is so important to sit with your thoughts and write them on paper and see where they come from and where they are going.
When I started at the UA, I began as a mechanical engineering major. The College of Engineering organized tours of all the engineering disciplines to help students see the available options, so I went to a talk on chemical engineering: I found the material dreadfully boring — no offense to those pursuing chemistry or chemical engineering. To me, studying the design of chemical production plants wasn’t overly exciting. Afterwards, on a whim, I followed a crowd of students to a talk at the College of Optical Sciences. There were lasers, lenses, cameras, solar panels, and LEDs. It was riveting! Learning how camera systems work and hearing the principles behind lasers producing photons was something new and fascinating.
This reminds me of myself a couple years ago. I spent my whole life focused on becoming a dermatologist. The skin interested me but I realized not enough to go through all that schooling. After taking a Dave Ramsey finance course I realized how much I wanted to help others financially. The bonus was that it only required 4 years of school.
CMYK notation
This reminds me of different notions of colors used in designing tools such as Photoshop
and various other colors not even present in the rainbow can be created by mixing light wavelengths together, such as red and blue making magenta
This reminds me of the Physics experiment with prisms to show the spectrum of visible light and prove each color of light travels in a different wavelength.
the brain processes verbal and visual information differently. When both of these channels—verbal and visual—are activated in a common task, giving the mind “two opportunities to build meaning,” instructional products are most effective (Clark & Mayer, 2012, p. 314)
This again reminds me of Mayer's cognitive theory of multimedia learning where he states about the dual channel of the brain: visual and auditory. With two separate channels, humans are able to learn more information because different types of representations are processed differently
the artistic elements will serve merely as window dressing—or worse, distraction—that provides no educational benefit to the learner.
This reminds me of Dr.Mayer's multimedia learning principle which is the Coherence Principle, which states that humans learn best when extraneous, distracting material is not included.
learner’s emotional state
This reminds me of how social media clips have gotten so short and appeal to the viewer's emotion to keep them watching. Social media or content learning material may use emotion to hook learnings right away.
The important thing to remember is that while we may not say so explicitly, all of the knowledge we discuss in class represents only the best of our current understanding. Some ideas have withstood repeated and varied experimentation while other topics have yet to be tested as thoroughly.
This is reminds me of a discussion I had in BIS 2C last quarter with a professor regarding where some animals were placed on the tree of life. We discussed how just in a few years, we re-evaluated the placement of certain organisms; and how in a few more years, how certain things we learned in class may be looked as dated and inaccurate.
Identify the problem(s) - this may include identifying "big" problems and also decomposing them into "smaller" nested sub-problems Determine criteria for successful solutions Identify and/or imagine possible solutions Evaluate the proposed solutions against the criteria for success Choose a solution
These steps remind me of my previous BIM1 class as we were given a problem to solve as well as similar steps to use to brainstorm, design, and create a device to help solve this problem. We used the waterfall design process to formulate a needs statement and user needs, design input, design process, design output, and final product. culminating with verification and validation of the devices properties and effectiveness. These steps heavily reminds of what my group and I had to do in order to complete our design project. I am interested to see them applied here!
We need to learn to examine the evidence underling the “facts” we supposedly know and make critical judgments about how much we trust that knowledge.
This reminds me a lot of the book "Drugs for Life" by Joseph Dumit. This book is about the pharmaceutical companies and how facts become circulated and widely accepted when in reality consumers should aim to contest them or at least be skeptical of them more often. In the book readers see the bias behind pharma facts that are circulated, and the manipulation of data that us turned into an everyday fact. Thinking this way about biology also puts these facts into question as it is a good idea to always look at the context in which any fact was collected as well as make observations about if what was assumed in order to produce such a fact.
The "factual" presentation of material (usually lacking discussion of evidence or confidence in the evidence) plays to our natural tendency to feel good about "knowing" things, but it tends to create a false sense of security in the state of knowledge and does little to encourage the use of imagination or the development of critical thinking.
This reminds me of an article I read earlier today, talking about how the Big Bang Theory may need to be revised with the discovery of galaxies larger than they should be if the timeline of the Milky Way's development is what we base the ages of galaxies off of. I think something we often forget in science is that most concepts are just theories, and that theories can still be changing, since we learn new things every day.
ne final note we’d like to make here is that, as we said before, we can use ethics frameworks as tools to help us see into situations. But just because we use an ethics framework to look at a situation doesn’t mean that we will come out with a morally good conclusion.
The statement reminds me of what my Chinese teacher taught us in class back in high school. He is a person who followed the confucianism his entire life. But he still constantly remind us that we should never judge others ethical framework no matter how different it is compare to yours. We all grew up in different environment, been through different situation, and have different believes. People are complicated and the least thing we should do is to criticize others thoughts.
Is it possible for multiple people to observe the same situation and perceive different problems associated with it? How does context and perception influence how one might identify a problem, its solution, or its importance?
This reminds me of a comic I once saw, where two people are looking at a number on the ground from different angles. One person, at one end of the number, says it's a "6" while the other, from the opposite side, claims it's a "9". I think the point of drawing was to show how perspective influences how you view something, which is certainly true and especially so in situations where there is no definitive answer you can look to.
But it also makes you think: someone else, some other third party, painted that number on the ground. Whoever put it there had an intention behind it and surely had their own idea on what it was (a 9 or a 6). Not to mention, it's always important to take into account the greater context- is there other text beside the number to which you can align yourself with and figure out how it should be read? When put next to, say for example, a 4, the "9 or 6" loses its ambiguity and it can only be one of the two.
Girlswho imitate the behavior of successful competitive women are more likely tosurvive childhood and will inherit greater wealth if those women are also theirmothers or grandmothers. In turn, their wealth and success make them morepreferable as a model for younger girls (likely their daughters and nieces) andmore likely to have surviving children
idea of role models and aspiration reminds me of Sen
The case of Justine Sacco’s racist joke tweet#
This case is a strong example of the speed in which social media can work in. This reminds me of the impact this must have had on her digital footprint and how this tweet (and the others she had made will affect her future opportunities, experiences, and life in general.
Lamar's tag allows other NFL teams to step in and put together an offer sheet.
This reminds me of farm business behavior, when farmers buy and sell cattle, pigs, etc. based on whether or not they will serve them well in their business.
thedocuments, the ledgers and the logs of the slave trade.

This reminds me of the flea experiment where the fleas were put in a jar that was sealed and when the jar was opened some time later none of the fleas were able to jump out because they didn't believe they could. In this example we are the fleas and these groups of people are enforcing what we believe we can or cannot do
intuitive and informal systems to managing projects have their place as well, instead of just a focus on “Gantt charts and rigorous documentation.”
This reminds me of one of the Agile Manifesto which is "Working software over Comprehensive Documentation"
Orthodoxy, of whatever colour, seems to demand a lifeless, imitative style.
This reminds me a lot of Orwell's 1984; the police state forces everyone into a uniform, mindless, lifeless life.
