    1. h. It uses keywords such as ‘abnormality’, ‘lack of ability’ and ‘disadvantage’ to describe a person. The Medical Model of Disability applies the medical world’s view that one needs cures or fixes to be a normal functioning person.

      This reminds me of the major named "Communication disorders". The major recently had a name change and I believe it is because they realized how harmful the word disorders can be.

    2. A report published by the United Nations in 2011 estimated there were 1-1.3 billion people with disabilities in the world. That was the same number as the population of China in 2014 (1.39 billion)

      I was blown away by the data. I never realized the huge number of disabled people. This reminds me to always consider the disabled community in my future life and teaching.

    1. And it turns out that none of these disciplines contain an easy answer or can do without each other in their thinking about life.

      This reminds me of the interdisciplinary approach that we were thought in my Med 101 class. where interdisciplinary team of health professionals from different fields work together to share their expertise and knowledge to impact the patient care. Similarly, this interdisciplinary team of people with different perspectives work together to define the purpose /idea of life.

    1. A persona must tell a story

      Thus far in reading I kept thinking about how the idea of a persona reminds me of the learner analysis. The idea the there aspects or characteristics of the learner that should influence how the learning is design. Over the course of reading that articles, it revealed how they are actually different and that's important to LXD.

    1. It is through these processes of problematization and ren-dering technical that reformers’ particular lived !xations arise, and it isbecause of these !xations that many factors are excluded from view.

      I like this a lot. It also reminds me of many of these charitable movements, and because I have a popular music-fixed mindset, it reminds me of Bono's obsession with Africa.

    1. "'Frankenstein! you belong then to my enemy—to him towards whom I have sworn eternal revenge;

      This reminds me of the popular movie " The Incredibles" where Buddy, a fan of Mr. Incredible had looked up to the hero and just wanted to be a part of his life (adventures) but when he was rejected by Mr. Incredible he made the hero his enemy and sworn to take revenge on him just like the creature takes revenge on Frankenstein because of his rejection from his master. Therefore, the theme of rejection turning into a desire of revenge is still prevelant to this day in popular culture.

    1. So I’ll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe And I’ll keep up with our old friends Just to ask them how you are Hope it’s nice where you are And I hope the sun shines and it’s a beautiful day And something reminds you, you wish you had stayed You can plan for a change in the weather and time But I never planned on you changing your mind

      she'll continue on in life and will continue to do things even if they remind her of their memories and moments they shared. She hopes one day he'll think of her and the moments they had together and that he'll regret leaving and making him wish he had stayed.

    1. This is where we arrive to the purpose of Buddhism throughout this chapter in particular. The idea that good deeds will always come back around to give you support. While the initial fallout of Gio wishing to allow Hotoke to dance was of course detrimental to her life, it led to Gio to live her days out as a Buddhist monk, where she was eventually met by a sorry Hotoke who wishes to follow in her pious footsteps feeling terrible for her newfound position. Because Gio was truly in line with Buddhist teachings, she is now able to truly reach the pure land.

      This part really intrigues me because it reminds me of the idea of a fable, where these stories are meant to be a learning curve for whoever reads them, there is a lesson stored throughout the story, such as The Tortoise and The Hare where the lesson is "Slow and Surely wins the race!" Which is essentially talking about how discipline is better than motivation as the Tortoise has the discipline of slow improvement while the Hare has the motivation of a bright light that shines rare improvement. I bring this up, because in this way, this story reaffirms to Buddhism to all of it's readers, and while at the time I assume many believed in Buddhism, this is meant to strengthen that belief.

    1. I think it is easy for people who are so far removed from the original events to forget the humanity of the people in history, especially the villain. So, it was refreshing to see a different approach to make people stop and think about what actually happens when there is a conflict amongst people.

      This idea really stood out to me, more so because of how this applies to the very notion of how and why we are taught history and what differences we are taught around the world. This idea took out to me because of how this applies to modern history today, when reflecting upon World War I, World War II, The Cold War, etc. This also reminds me of the idea of the politician's scapegoat where if something is going wrong in society, instead of taking accountability they find someone or something to blame and I bring this up because in war, the main idea is propaganda, nationalism, and strategy. However, in this one that you mentioned they are very kind to their enemy because at the end of the day, their enemy is still human when it is often easier to view an enemy as not that, they took the higher ground by still seeing the humanity in their enemy which I believe dissipated throughout the 20th and beginning of 21st century wars though now I think we try (to a degree I don't know) to be mindful that the citizens are not our enemy but happen to be in a difficult crossroads.

    1. nonverbal communication, perception, and listening

      communication studies also include things like listening and perception which reminds me of how in speech class we learned about how in order to have a conversation there needs to be some sort of listening and response

    1. During my first two semesters in college, I found myself hating my chemistry classes.

      This reminds me of my high school days. We started learning chemistry in the third year of junior high school. I was not particularly interested in chemistry at the beginning, so I sometimes lost my mind in class. For some reason, the chemistry teacher seemed to have installed a camera on me. As long as I distracted a little bit, she would call my name and ask me to do the questions, and she would let me go back to my seat only if I got it right. Later, in order not to be called by my name by the teacher, I had to listen carefully, but unexpectedly, I began to like chemistry gradually, and my grades were also very good. Looking back now, I am really grateful to my junior high school chemistry teacher.

    1. When one con-siders the political consequences of this dilemma, there is littlewonder that many people within the Black community view thespecific articulation of Black women's interests as dangerouslydivisive

      Hmm...this reminds me of when queer people in the black community raise issues that deal with the intersection of their queer and black identities. There is often pushback and a request to "pick one" in the framing of grievances. I'm not sure I've ever considered the political consequences of raising both.

    1. Students can draw, create and move around virtual sticky notes, build diagrams, add videos, and more.

      This reminds me a bit of Jamboard but with a lot more features. I would definitely want to use this with older students!

    1. Fanaticism is one syndrome of arrogance. Humility, on the other hand, is a marvelous medicine. One tragedy of the human being is that it is easier to be arrogant than being humble.

      狂热是傲慢的一种综合征。另一方面,谦逊是一剂神药。人类的悲剧之一,就是变得傲慢比变得谦逊更容易。

      Reminds me of a blog written by Derek Sivers from January 2022, I want to lose every debate., which was also referenced on Hacker News. I read about it on the Hacker Newsletter #637 on February 7th.

      让我想起了 2023 年 1 月 Derek Sivers 所写的一篇文章,「I want to lose every debate.(我希望输掉每一场辩论)」。当时 Hacker News 上也有人 引用 过这篇文章。我是 2 月 7 日在 Hacker Newsletter #637 上读到它的。

    1. humanized myself and then . . . they stopped looking at me as just a gang-banger and they started look-ing at me as a smart black man.

      This story reminds me of the articles we read during our week of learning about racism.

    2. Enemies of Hop

      I like how this article is organized into the different potential threats to hope. It reminds me of a video game where there are different characters and their stats are written out to describe how much damage they do or what their best attacks are.

    1. my grandfathe

      I like how this student included this personal anecdote about her grandfather as it appeals to the ethos of the audience. It reminds me of when I was in high school writing for my college essays. It's not just about striking emotion in the audience, but also reminding the audience of what their personal educator was like, not necessarily a family member but someone just as close.

    1. the “fossils” of literary evolution

      it reminds me what the other article says, the DH is related with interdisciplinary approach. Is this just a literature research? Actually, it might seem more like a history, or culture study. Historian who are interested in literature might handle research like this. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I think it is nature.

    2. they also become much more similar to each other:

      this reminds me of the Vogue magazine covers we watched and how the older ones were much more diverse but later became so similar that we could clearly see an image of a female face

    1. But I am very grateful that I have developed an inner Kirk, too — albeit quieter than my inner Spock — who reminds me that the needs of the few, or even the one, can be just as important.

      Success isn't defined by a single definition, but it is nice to see the way in which Thomas defines success simply because the simple success of a majority of students makes them feel successful, but also when students don't understand 100% they seem to also feel successful but simply because it allows them room to improve.

    1. Just as atoms can be frozen in place by observation, then, the text can be thought of as “a provisional unity” that has more to do with the questions we wish to ask than to an immutable external reality

      It reminds me of Buddhism and their one of the most famous philosophy of cause and effect.

    1. urban youthof color vividly demonstrated by the practice of placingpolice officers, security cameras, metal detectors and thelike in schools, illustrates the mind-set and the role thatschools play in contributing to and reifying the school-to-prison pipeline.

      In my opinion, schools that do this are preparing children for failure. They make students feel like they are entering a hostile environment. This reminds me of an example, in which young student state tests outcomes have been used previously to determine how many jails should be built as if one test score can determine that. I see how there are such low expectations for students however this also can be seen as safety regards but students should feel like they are entering a welcoming environment to learn. We have learned so many things about inclusivity this quarter that I feel like this approach is wrong.

    1. walls of this oldmuseum

      Reminds me of the mid-1900s when lead paint became a problem in households. I never really thought of the effects outside of them though.

    1. reminds me of when I have to               reach right down               inside me, right into               the fleshy hurt and let it               come inching out–then bursting out               by way of laugh/cry, and cry

      acknowledging that the "bitch: concept typically applies when a woman is being overly emotional.

    2. reminds me of a woman looking            directly at a man               (and he doesn’t like it)           of a woman fighting with her kids               (but they need it)           of a woman needing something real              and swearing at the world               (and the world doesn’t have it)               reminds me of when I have to

      It's interesting the examples given of a circumstance when a woman would be acting like a bitch. I also noticed that it was only a woman here that was being referred to as a bitch.

    3. reminds me of a woman looking            directly at a man               (and he doesn’t like it)           of a woman fighting with her kids               (but they need it)           of a woman needing something real              and swearing at the world               (and the world doesn’t have it)

      I love this acknowledgment or idea that the word bitch can be strong and empowering

    1. Will this passage lead us to further discussion about URF's, or about Complex I, or both?

      Really this whole paragraph reminds me of the class discussion on cohesion and coherence. Both are super important for people to be able to understand material.

    1. How do protocols mutate, and what are the limits on the mutability of a protocol beyond which it begins to lose coherence, identity, and utility?

      Initial hunch is that this is related to 'good protocols' and 'bad protocols'.

      Reminds me of Deep Laziness, where structure preserving figures are indefatigable?

      Would also look at 'play'. Perhaps this is a feature of good vs bad protocols? If play can overlap with protocols then mutation might happen to satisfy continuation desire by augmenting to enable continued challenge (as skill improves so complexity continues — challenge and skill as the axes for Flow) see Good Business

      Would need it to become more embodied over time? (see Problem of Embodiment in the Sociology of Knowledge letter)

    2. Good protocols tend to form persistent Schelling points in spaces of problems worth solving, around solutions good enough to live with – for a while. And surprisingly often, they manage to induce more complex patterns of voluntary commitment and participation than are achieved by competing systems of centralized coordination.

      "inducing more complex patterns" reminds me a little bit of Peter Cotton's Microprediction, does a market form around an idea? Is a protocol one of these ideas?

      Appreciate the 'problems worth solving'

      Because it's fresh in memory, I like this as illustrated by Chasing Venus

    3. Good protocols, in short, are the embodiments of A. N. Whitehead’s famous assertion that “civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them.” Not only do good protocols deliver civilizational advances, they do so in sustainable ways. “Stability without stagnation” (a guiding principle of the Rust programming language[3]) is the condition good protocols aspire to, and surprisingly often, manage to achieve and sustain for long enough to produce and consolidate significant civilizational advances.

      reminds me of 'culture as a game' from Flow theorist and that Flow is actually more automatic and less effort intensive overtime. Book: Good Leadership

    4. Surprisingly often, protocols herd collective problem-solving behaviors away from tragedies of commons into regimes of serendipity.

      see commons notes above

      also reminds me of this incredible presentation from Tony Hsieh talking about potential for serendipity in the context of cities in this video

      Related to ideas of 'surface area of luck', for which I've struggled to find an exact source. - Sari Azout talks about surface area of luck - Dror Poleg talks about Mathematical surface area here - Also used in this Multidimensional Citations paper

    1. i think this focus on the science of the land is very interesting. its not something that immediately springs to mind when i think of a history class, but it is definitely worth studying because understanding the land is key to learning the how and why of people living in that environment.

      I am also fascinated by how geography impacts how a society develops and sustains itself. It reminds me of Jared Diamond’s idea that the geography of the land can help shape the people living there and give certain advantages or disadvantages depending on the location of where people are; such as how the climates affect how people had to adapt. It is amazing that Japan has become such a successful country given its geography.

    1. This week, we looked at the Nara period, where Japanese rulers began to settle in one consistent capitol and embraced Buddhism. One of the interesting features of the Nara period was that the rulers continued to stay in one city; the most interesting part about that for me is why they had not done that in the first place. I am aware that the most obvious reason is the religious/superstitious issue about not wanting to be where the ghost of the last ruler was, but I wonder if there was any more pragmatic reason to keep moving. It strikes me that moving capitols would necessarily be an expensive process, and would mean that temples and palaces could not be improved over many decades. With these apparent drawbacks, why bother moving the capitol so much? I do not think that I have the information to suggest any other educated answers than the one of getting away from the death of the past ruler, but I would be interested in finding out if any (credible) theories do exist. The only possible (and extremely superficial) reason that I would suggest is that it does effectively convey the wealth of the rulers. Spending all of the funds that it would take to build the new capitol, along with raising all of the corvee labor that would also be required could be a good way to present one’s power to one’s subjects.

      I like the question that you raise about why Emperors/Leaders did not have a consistent location for the Empire. With this in mind, I would like to consider if back then could be considered more tumultuous than today or if each Emperor wanted a sense of individual rule that they may have changed their empire’s location? I liked the questions that you raised about what it meant for the Emperor’s to have fully embraced Buddhism, whether it meant that it affected their ruling style or if they became Monks. This reminds of the same way that Roman/Greeks (I forget, I think Romans) took on the ideas of Stoicism as they ruled. One example of this was Marcus Aurelius and how he was both a Stoic and an Emperor. I believe that the Emperor’s can have multiple identities at once, and embody those multiple identities through not only leading their country but through other aspects of their life, such as how they act.

    1. Thinking back to what we have already learned, I think it is really cool how gender roles were very much included in the basis of Japanese religion, yet they internalize it much differently than how the U.S internalizes our founding ideas. It is crazy to me that a female writer could get this much momentum and have such a long lasting impact on culture, while the U.S still seems to struggle with the idea of women being culture creators

      I first like the comparisons that you drew between the U.S and Japan when it comes to the approach of female writers as it seemed reminiscent of how the U.S only created the 19th Amendment in 1920 which seems to reflect the judgments mentioned about female writers. Also, the comparison between religion is an interesting one as yes, both the U.S and Japan have religious undertones the way that they deal with those undertones may be shaped by the religion itself along with the individuals who convince the public using religion as a basis for being correct. About the idea of the male’s ideal woman, the part that I was most curious about was whether these ideas would trickle down to the non-court men by accident? By exposing the court men for their idealistic and unrealistic ideas of who and what a woman should be I wonder if this idea was already permeating through Japan or if the Tale Of Genji led for other men to model themselves out of these fictional characters as though I can’t think of an example as of this moment, doesn’t things that start up in “high society” trickle down (not like the failed trickle down economy, but what I mean is that before Cars were for everyone, first the rich (equivalent to the court of Heian life) and then to everyone. I am essentially wondering if these ideas were widespread among Japanese men before the Tale of Genji or if the Tale of Genji gave Men an inspiration of Court Life, and in order to act more important/high and mighty if they too, would have copied the Tale of Genji men to be more like court members. I wonder if the court members would have enjoyed the Tale of Genji as to me it reminds me that it would almost be like fictional tabloids which often had psychological effects on celebrities and royalty like Princess Diana and Britney Spears – would they have enjoyed being exposed in this way? I imagined the commoners would be fascinated with this story the same way that we humans buy tabloids or read gossip about the rich/famous instead of the rich/famous reading inserted characters about themselves?

    1. The spread of the new coronavirus and its mitigation overshadowed any other political or social issue. It became the only focus of political debates, mainstream and alternative media and most conversations in daily life.

      This point reminds me of what we learnt about social movements in the lecture. The pandemic effected people from different degrees globally including those who have power and are privileged enough to not need to fix the inequalities that impact other daily.

      Social movements come about when their is perceived inequalities which means they would be primarily made up of minorities or people who want to stop problems created by the government and corporations etc., therefore it can be expected that these social movements wouldn't receive the same coverage as the pandemic because the issues only effect one percentage of the population.

    1. n short, the practice of multicultural education has employed an all-too-narrow definition of culture. The term “culture” in school curricula has largely been a proxy for “race/ethnicity,” and while this has resulted in some attention to a more ethnically and gender-diverse set of readings and per-spectives, it has not considered other central aspects of culture.

      Reading this text makes me reflect on how the term "culture" has been limited in the context of school curricula. It highlights how the focus has mainly been on race/ethnicity, which is important but not enough. It reminds me of the need for a more comprehensive approach to multicultural education that considers other important aspects of culture as well.

    2. Teaching Hip-Hop Music and Culture

      This also reminds me of my old teacher. We had a few weeks in class where we analyzed Kendrick Lamar's album To Pimp a Butterfly. I don't think it was necessarily relevant to the culture of our class, considering most of the students in that class were middle-class asian students who had no ties to life like that album, but that just reminded me of her.

    3. Each group would then receive one class period in which to present.

      This process of teaching kids literature reminds me of the way my IB class was structured. I really admired my teacher in this class for her forward thinking approach in teaching us. The way she taught us kept the floor open to discussion and collaboration, something that I haven't experienced before on that campus. She would still promote the classics like this article mentions but guides our ideas to better analyze each reading.

    1. In the first week of every school year, he would learn about his individual students through these narratives and could then build off of that week to week, incorporating relevant ideas and media ( e.g., music and video) into lessons and class dis-cussion

      This reminds me of the first week of elementary school when teachers would have us write about us on a sheet and decorate it with things that interested us. I can see how my teachers would do this to get to know us on a personal level but to incorporate our interests into the classroom seems so farfetched to me. Maybe that was the purpose of those activities in the past but to me, a teacher taking the time to find resources that can incorporate our interests into the class is hard to imagine. While balancing managing time to follow a curriculum, meet school standards, they'll still make time to create a culture in the classroom?

    1. To present only the buffed paysage rather than the living visageof the city

      reminds me of DC. The people who work in DC don't live there. But because they're of higher status, the district is seen as belonging to them when it should belong to the actual residents of DC

    2. graffiti produce negative imagesof the city rather than being detrimental themselves,

      reminds me of how in the NYC subway documentary, the graffiti didn't cause damage to the trains but the stuff they used to remove the paint did cause damage, but the blame for all the damage was put on the artists

    1. Yet, most teachers and administrators find it challenging to routinely apply research findings to their everyday work in classrooms, schools, and districts. Most educators are under constant pressure to make “fast” (Kahneman, 2011) decisions, instead of slowing down and reviewing the research literature or, even more difficult, conducting their own research to identify effective solutions to the problems they face (Malin et al., 2020).

      This reminds me of the conversation I had with my interview M for our needs based assessment. M works at a large university in Southern Ontario and expressed this same concern during our conversation. She stated that her department has identified a number of concerns, but addressing these issues has presented a challenge due to lack of staff and consistent departmental changes.

    1. According to this differential encod-ing account, students may fail to recognize how pronorm theirpublic behavior actually is, mistakenly believing that their pri-vate discomfort with alcohol practices is clear from their wordsand deeds. If students do suffer from an illusion oftransparency(Miller & McFarland, 1991), they might reasonably assume thatbecause the words and deeds of others signal more comfortthan they themselves feel (and supposedly express), they mustbe alone in their discomfort.

      This makes me think about how often we assume that others are authentic in their behaviors and beliefs, even when we know that we are not. I wonder if in trying to seem "normal" we are actually being more disingenuous to our own beliefs and actions. We assume that others are acting on their values, but we are acting a certain way to fit in, even if it doesn't align with our beliefs. If everyone is doing that, then no one is being true to their own beliefs and values. Also it reminds me of the fundamental attribution error, where we assume that other's mistakes are reflective of intrinsic traits while our own are due to contextual factors. ex: she tripped because she's clumsy, but I tripped because there was a wire I didn't see.

    2. Thus, students may be disposed to accept as authentic the pub-lic pronorm behaviors of their peers, despite recognizing thattheir own public pronorm behaviors are inauthentic

      reminds me of the fundamental attribution error in which you assume people's behavior indicates their true dispositions and attitudes while failing to take into consideration contextual factors however when judging yourself you will take into account the context that may lead to your behavior.

    3. tudentswho strongly supported campus norms may have expressedtheir attitudes more vociferously than those who only weaklysupported them or who disapproved of them.

      This reminds me of the familiarity effect in which people often infer the popularity of an opinion or norm by the familiarity they have with the opinion itself. This can lead to bias or erroneous view because people often forget the source of familiarity (sometimes only a couple people repeating the opinion multiple times making it unrepresentative)

    1. A sentence "this is furthered by note xy." is almost as good of an indicator that the opportunity was passed on as "reminds me of" if there is not exploration. On the contrary, if there is "reminds me of" and a thorough exploration of the connection follows it is perfectly fine.

      One can make links between ideas more explicit using words like x ["supports", "contradicts", "supports", "challenges", "extends", "contradicts", etc] y. However it can be even more useful and beneficial to not only state the connection in the loosest of terms, but to explore and develop what that connection is and how it works. The more explicit one can be, the better.

      If it's a metaphor, analogy, or abstraction, how far can one push those relationships before they collapse? Can the abstraction be encompassed in a mathematical sense that one case completely consumes another?

    1. But proponents argue that the techniques being developed to make de-extinction happen all have natural counterparts in the wild.

      Reminds me of the debate / discussion around IVF. To me, these sorts of scientific / medical advancements are not inherently unethical - what matters is the intent and practice.

      IVF, for example, I see as a tool or process that helps reproduction happen as it normally would. Having babies is something that is normally possible, and IVF just helps this process in people with difficulties conceiving. Cloning or other artificial reproduction of endangered or near-extinct species is much the same, especially with those largely affected by human activity. Reproduction and population management would normally occur if not for human intervention, so processes like cloning are helping what would be natural.

    1. here be some that, taking pleasure incontemplating their own power in the acts of conquest, which they pursuefarther than their security requires

      this reminds me of Napoleon Bonaparte for some reason

    2. For everyman looketh that his companion should value him at the same rate he sets uponhimself,

      This reminds me of the saying "you are the company you keep." If they see themselves a certain way, they will find company in those that also view them in that way.

    3. ‘time’ is to be considered in thenature of war, as it is in the nature of weather.

      i thin hes saying that war is a constant in every society which reminds me of Karl Marx conflict theory which says that as long as there are those in power and those who are oppressed, conflict will always be inevitable

    4. forthey see their own wit at hand and other men’s at a distance

      This reminds me a little bit of what I learned in my philosophy class. We talked about how humans are too biased in our own self- interest and how it can affect both the way we see ourselves and how we judge other. That our senses can deceive us, thus our opinions can be false.

    5. Again, men have no pleasure, but on the contrary a great deal of grief, inkeeping company where there is no power able to overawe them all

      This reminds me of the quote "existence is suffering" in Buddhism. The draw of power leads to suffering but also having power means that people suffer below you. Suffering cannot be escaped but only alleviated.

    6. And therefore, if any two men desire the same thing which nevertheless theycannot both enjoy, they become enemies; and, in the way to their end, which isprincipally their own conservation and sometimes their delectation only,endeavour to destroy or subdue one another.

      This sentence singlely sums up the concept of war. The envy and greed that man possess only allows room for retaliation. This reminds me of how Marx suggested evil exist only due to jealously created by material things.

    7. cannot both enjoy, they become enemies;

      I think this is so funny but true. Especially with children. Reminds me of my parents rule that if everybody wants something, but everybody can’t have it then nobody will.

    1. When war was imminent they were able to contact the scattered and vulnerable ships of the German mercantile marine; when war was declared they were able at once to begin broadcasting military and naval communiqués.

      I find it extremely interesting that broadcasts of widespread communication began for war purposes. This reminds me of how telegraph lines were created to help communicate efficiently during the Civil War. If it wasn't for war, do you think these technologies would've been introduced sooner or later?

    1. wooden crosses piled with plastic flowers and ribbons and beads. All the tattered and bright colors of someone’s grief.

      Passing these on the road always leaves a pit feeling in my stomach, especially when the family presently there. It reminds me of the gratitude and appreciation for life that I have.

      However, he seems to be also grieving in some way.

  4. docdrop.org docdrop.org
    1. additive approach

      This approach reminds me of the second reading where the integration of culture is treated like another chapter in a math textbook. There is not really a strong dive into the culture, but merely reading and learning about it.

    2. Afrocentri

      I've heard of this term before but never in a negative connotation. I guess it's a very mixed term given the sensitivity of the subject. Afrocentric can be taken in the context of a white audience at a very different definition from a black audience. This reminds me of a show that addresses the interpretation of american black culture from these two persectives called Atlanta.

    1. hool has undergone a major change

      This reminds me of when my marching band was getting a change in directors. In our own way, band was a small school where we had our curriculum, our culture, roles, etc. When we got our new director, he said they changes he wanted to make were not going to be visible until at least 4 years, since some of the students, like me, were used to the culture built from the previous band director. Changing the attitudes and routines of teenagers is very difficult, especially when it comes to more outrageous students like the ones described in the reading.

    2. or Lao students like Vannaphone and Suthisa, the cafeteria was an espe-cially uncomfortable space. These females students usually sat at a two-person booth flanked on one side by a wall and on the other side by one of the two lunch lines in the cafeteria. Because the table was barely big enough for their

      I can relate to the 'uncomfortable space' that is the cafeteria that these two Lao students walked into. Reading about it reminds me of the anxiety creeping in my body when I panicked to find a seat with no friends to eat lunch with. That is why I feel like clubs are a great opportunity to immerse yourself in different groups that go beyond ethnicity and base on pure common interest.

    1. color-blind,"

      I find this interesting as there are a lot of people who justify the "color-blind" agenda. I would like to hear their perspective on why this is a better way to treat people, especially students, given that everyone, even outside of a socioeconomic and racial level, is different, so why are they treated the same? It reminds me of the case in Seattle when they were labeling Asian Americans as White because AA test scores were higher than White test scores. By labeling them as one group and not admitting to the obvious differences socioeconomically and culturally, it diminshes the AA identity.

    1. Lastly of course content creators provide the ideas to be shared whether it be Podcasts, YouTube clips, blog posts, LinkedIn articles or original tweets.

      This reminds me of Tik Tok and specifically how creators often are just sharing their day-to-day routines and it will spark inspiration for others from something they do, watch, etc. Social media is such a powerful tool and more educators should use it as a resource when looking for inspiration

    1. oubtless they exaggerated the numbers, but they were clearly telling me what theyknew and loathed.

      The tone of disbelief is evident even in this account. It reminds me of how we learned that different peoples histories are never written down but also different people's histories are never believed in the first place.

    1. the roasted corn and the shaved ice with syrup and El Pato’s and the botanas and the chorizo from San Manuel and the taquitos de trompo served with frijoles a la charra and baked potatoes and the cabrito al carbon on the other side of the border.

      This reminds me of my own childhood. It brings a sense of nostalgia as I'm sure it does for many other Chicanos.

    1. he wall as a whole was a colossal failure: it did not protect the Chinese from invaders

      This reminds me of the United States attempt to build a wall because of extreme expense and futility.

    1. Undisguised forms of forced labour and barely disguised forms of slaverywere prominent aspects of the entrenchment of the colonial economy inAfrica. B

      Although slavery was abolished at this time, it's intriguing to learn that there were still "undisguised forms of forced labour" and "slavery" in Africa. This reminds me of sharecropping in the US, which was essentially slavery (even though it was abolished) where people compelled to return shares, or a percentage of the agricultural produce, to the landowner in lieu of paying rent in cash.

    1. These first programs, which graduated the doctoral students who became faculty at many of the other universities founding CS departments, established the early conditions for the lack of gender and racial diversity in CS education, shifting CS education from something informal amongst women mathematicians, to something only accessible to students at elite institutions, who tended to teach only White men.

      It reminds me the history of female educators -- especially how female jobs are easily connected with low income

    1. "Just as need can masquerade as love, so can duty or guilt."

      This definitely reminds me of companionate love, where there is no passion but simply commitment and intimacy where one feels obliged to stay with the other which can be out of duty or guilt.

    1. If we had asked users what they wanted, most would have suggested minor changes in line with the kinds of changes they were seeing with each slightly different version

      Reminds me of the Ford quote - "“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” Users don't necessary know what is possible in terms of capacity, vision, or limitations

    1. Ruth described the experience of eating marga-rine as “horrible,” “synthetic, really fake.” Yet Ruth did notexperience distaste because margarine had made her sick,nor because of a primary reaction to the flavors, texture,smell, or appearance of margarine. Indeed she explained that“as a child, we just never had butter, so I never really, just, wehad Flora, and I was fine with that.” In the intervening yearssomething had shifted in Ruth’s experience of her embodiedencounters with the stuff of margarine.

      I sympathize with Ruth because Flora is pretty bad. And this also reminds me of the eggplant metaphor from Skim, Dive, Surface, she had to eat the same thing over and over again as a child, probably not her choice, and now she can't stomach it.

    1. If students infected

      This language reminds me of the reading Basic Writing and how people use medical terms to diagnose students as "sick". Now that I've read that, I'm not going to be able to help but notice it

    1. It is important to realize that shortcuts have to be taken when reading papers so that there is time left to get our other work done, including writing, conducting research, attending meetings, teaching, and grading papers.

      This reminds me of a conversation I had not too long ago with a counselor about how I can take so many credits at school, at the time i was taking 18. You have to take the shortcuts where they are available. You can't be as thourough as you'd like, but you can be efficient.

    1. .

      Coming out with an impairment can be challenging due to the stigmas around them. This also reminds me of our discussion that some people do not want the label of disability whereas others are proud to embrace it. People who share a disability are still vastly different from one another, but I think we tend to categorize these similarities without noting differences.

    2. .

      This reminds me a lot of Crip Time from week one. In particular, it reminds me of Carolyn Lizard's video showing the pills being put into the container. Crip time does not simply have to be on a daily basis, but as seen here, crip time can work on monthly scales with changing moods or levels of confusion that can be disabling in our society.

    1. Incensed, Richard swings his stick with two-fisted fury at Laycoe. He hits him with such force across the shoulders that his stick splinters. Laycoe sheds his gloves and rushes at Richard, who drops his gloves. The two thrash at one another with their fists.

      I keep relating this incident to Cleveland Browns events in order to make a personal connection. This rivalry reminds me of the Myles Garrett / Mason Rudolph incident in Nov 2019. Garrett removes Rudolph's hemet and clocks him with it on Thursday Night Football. Garrett maintains that Rudolph used a racial slur. Rudolph denies it.

    1. The tools within a PLN are physical resources (e.g., books, curriculum materials) and digital technologies (e.g., Internet search databases, social bookmarking tools, blogs) that are used to access, curate, construct, and disseminate professional knowledge (Trust et al., 2018).

      This reminds me things that aprt of USL (Universal Design) which I learned about in my special education class. Using resources that is accessible to and by everyone! I'm sure many of these tools fall into that category, which is why I am excited to learn all about it.

    1. by providing the community with its own unique context, it will help to maintain the community’s distinctiveness and prevent it from being lost in the vast sea of the global population, reducing the likelihood of losing its identity and independence, and minimizing the risk of manipulation by any central authority.

      This article is packed with great insights. In some ways this idea of a tightly aligned community resisting centralized manipulation reminds me of bitcoin maxis. I feel like TNS has a more positive persona than that.

    1. Pg one, Intro paragraph: "Tomasello and coworkers have argued that shared attention and intentionality form the basis from which language developed" - reminds me of the social arousal of two babies learning phonemes together Pg three, Nicaraguan Sign Language History section- Were there different levels within the deaf community? Pg four, above "Sign Language Creation as a Window on Language Creation"- How does spoken slang transfer to sign language? Do people make a new sign or sign it out?

    1. From Brazil to Denmark to India to Turkey to the United States, we are witnessing democratic backsliding — also known as democratic erosion and autocratization (Hyde 1192).

      Being an international student from India, catching up with Indian news, the rapid rise of fascism concerns me personally. Not just in India but most parts of the world. This also reminds me of how growing up as an intersection of being queer, belonging to a minority kin effected me and how I view this world, every time I reflect on that, I try to be more and more empathetic with other situations and just be a better listener.

    1. Fundamentally, because each field of study has its own purposes, its own kinds of evidence, and its own style of critique, each will produce different texts,

      Reminds me of the "you don't choose the genre, the genre chooses you" thing

    1. The more intensely and flawlessly his techniques duplicate empirical objects, the easier it is today for the illusion to prevail that the outside world is the straightforward continuation of that presented on the screen.

      We see a reality on TV and falsely believe it to be our own. Reminds me of Hall's Miami Vice excerpt

    1. robbed her of the ability to die.

      This line reminds me of many cultures idea of purgatory. These elderly people who seemingly "can't die" are trapped in a cycle of defeat, of constant disaster.

    1. This passage reminds me of the question I had that reflects on how the technology of ChatGPT works. I wanted to know the programing and codes that went into such a thing.

    1. When asked if the show is an effective way to meet your future spouse,all but one of the respondents were not convinced.

      this show really reminds me of 90 day fiance especially with Ed and Rose.

    1. In her thirty-five-year reign, however, Heloisenot only won the personal esteem that is so well attested, but attractedenough gifts and vocations to the Paraclete to attach five new priories andan abbey, La Pommeraye.

      This reminds me of the power and influence that the royal French mistresses had -- they were able to garner resources & support just by their nature and their contributions to the lives of others

    2. Robertson's conde-scension toward Heloise is blatant. He refers to her twice as "poor Heloise"and once even as "little Heloisc"; at least half a dozen times, he calls herdiscourse on marriage in thcHistoria calamitatum a "little sermon."

      Reminds me of the play we just read in my English class -- A Doll's House A very similar and condescending relationship unfolds within that text as well.

    1. within the imaginary of French secularism, repre-sented a specifically Muslim threat of contamination of the public spherewith religion, thereby undermining one of the fundamental principles ofFrench nationalism.

      This reminds me of, and makes as little sense as, the debate over whether or not children should see gay relationships on TV. Right-wings see representation as a threat and a means to endoctrinate and brainwash kids (hence the word "contamination"), even though this is not how gender and sexuality works. Here, it feels like it is the same debate; as if seeing muslim people will automatically convert non-muslims into muslims.

    1. the motive force of all human activities is a striving towards the two confluentgoals of utility and a yield of pleasure, we must suppose that this is also true of the manifestations ofcivilization which we have been discussing here, although this is easily visible only in scientific andaesthetic activities. But it cannot be doubted that the other activities, too, correspond to strong needs inmen - perhaps to needs which are only developed in a minority

      another interesting assertion, that a part of the motivation for progress is the usefulness and how enjoyable the advancement is to humanity as a whole. in other words, humans seek things which serve a purpose and feels good; this reminds of makeup. makeup serves the purpose of helping the woman to feel good about her looks thus (if thinking in the context of the early 1900s) obtain male attention for reproductive efforts while helping the woman to feel beautiful (so it feels good). to think more systemically, makeup serves the purpose of making women feel aesthetically inferior to the point of needing to use something to cover their face, thus making men feel good by having that systemic advantage over women and maintaining male domination. This reminds me of Young's concept of marginalization.

    1. [D]o you think Malcolm is aware enough about this issue to gravitate towards choosing female teachers for himself?

      I had a creative writing background prior to switching to education. This reminds me of workshopping.

    1. By “politics,” I mean arrange­ments of power and authority in human associations as well as the activities that take place within those arrangements.

      The whole concept of this article is fascinating and I had never previously considered technologies to be political. It reminds me of how the documentary "Coded Bias" discusses how AI facial recognition software is often deployed by the rich into poor neighborhoods as a sort of test. This further highlights the power disparities tech can produce

    1. But the organizing made no difference. In February 1976, CUNYChancellor Robert Kibbee announced aplan to remake CUNY largely inline with Marshak’s initial proposal. Hostos would be shuttered.

      It's fascinating how we've built upon the organizing tactics of 1976. The student-led protests, lobbying City Council and coalition building are all strategies I've used involving current education advocacy issues. The cut to CUNY in the 70s, reminds me of our recent 200 million dollar cut form our NYC school budgets. Public education historically serves, poor, working class, immigrant communities of color- yet generationally, public education has always been under attack. Public schools are highly politicized because the bodies within are.

    1. In the 1800s, Anglos migrated megally into Texas, whichwas then part of Mexico, i.n greater and greater numbers andgradually drove the .tejanos (native Texans of Mexican descent)from their lands,. committing aU manner of atrocities againstthem. Their illegal invasion forced Mexico to fight a war to keepits Texas territory.

      Yet their descendants would oppose to what is illegal immigration today. This reminds me a lot of what a lot of Americans are doing today. They go to live in Latin America because the cost of living is lower than in the U.S. Which is pushing the locals out. It's so easy to say that Latin American countries are cheap when their salary is in dollars.

    1. Then, for the first time, a film of ice appeared upon the drinking-trough; melted by the afternoon sun it was there a few days later, and yet a third time in the same week.

      This reminds me of home because we have a horse farm and we always knew it was going to be cold when the troughs had ice on them. Eventually they get so frozen you have to break all of the ice.

    2. Before departing the doctor gave Maria a little bottle with instructions. "Only if she should suffer greatly, so that she cries out, and never more than fifteen drops at a time. And do not let her have any cold water to drink."

      This reminds me of hospice before hospice

    1. Persistence, consistency, and discipline are required.

      This is all we need in everything we do in our lives. That reminds me of the video about effort that we watched. It all walks together. It doesn't matter what the goal may be.

    1. The workshop student said there were no letters, no documents, and no one living who knew the story for certain. Did it happen? she worried.

      Presumed origin of creative fiction. Reminds me of how in history the story can never be 100% accurate because everyone narrates differently. SO many different perspectives, one's truth could be completely different from someone else’s truth.

    1. Chris, Chris... concepts and propositions are not nebulous dictionary definitions unless you're joining the Frankfurt School :) :).Click here to get some clarity about these basic terms as applied to learning: https://cmap.ihmc.us/docs/concept.phpAbout systems and emergence, I prefer Mario Bunge's book: https://www.amazon.com/Emergence-Convergence-Qualitative-Knowledge-Philosophy/dp/1442628219Irony? No way. You are always bringing new information about the historical roots of Zettelkasten. Keep doing that, please! Thanks!

      reply to u/New-Investigator-623 at https://www.reddit.com/r/antinet/comments/10r6uwp/comment/j784srg/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

      I meant nebulous for my initial purposes. They obviously have very concrete meanings in more specific contexts, though even there they can vary. I saw your other post on concept maps where I imagine they matter more; some of that reminds me about some of my initial explorations into category theory (math) a few years back. I'm curious what the overlap of those two looks like...

      On systems, complexity, and emergence, I'm probably closer to the school of thought and applications coming out of the Santa Fe Institute. I'll have to look at Bunge's work there, I've only glanced at some of his math/physics work but never delved into his philosophical material.

    1. rather than using this as an opportunity to exam the kind of work we actually ask students (and faculty) to do around learning.

      This portion of this article stood out to me because I think that while this question is being asked more frequently today as a result of AI systems like Chat GPT it is one that I have thought about for years while going through school. It reminds me of the extensive hours that I wasted in school being taught information that has never been relevant to me.

    1. I am the fat political coyote–

      This reminds me of Oscar Zeta Acosta. The wording is much like the way Acosta writes. Even though most of his 'Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo' made me uncomfortable, I do like how he easily paints pictures with his words.

    1. Workers compete, rather than cooperate.

      This reminds me that so much of people working together is often times competition. Instead of working together people try to out do each other even if there is no promotion

    1. early modern book history by constructing networks of all the namesthat appear in dedications, not just those of authors, printers, and patrons

      Reminds me of the book Africans in Colonial Mexico where the author examines marriage records for evidence of who the couple selects as their witness as a way of getting at identity formation. To whom a book is dedicated seems peripheral but might provide similar insights.

    1. hearing the giggles of Film Forum’s mostlywhite, downtown audience become more and morestrained as the film deftly drew them into the unfamiliarculture of the Balls.

      It is unfortunate that the audience reacts this way to something that they are not yet familiar with. It reminds me of when I went to see the live action version of beauty and the beast and there was a shocked reaction to the hint at a queer relationship at the end of the film. People are not comfortable with the unfamiliar, but hopefully over time it will become a lot mpre normalized and accepted.

    1. These may or may not help. Things have certainly changed in the past several years, but if we have learned anything, the "infinite memory of the internet" is anything but. Dependencies vanish and die all the time. So, while you may have a list of dependencies, if you don't have those actual dependencies locally with you, you may be out of luck. Even if the actual project still exists, the older versions you depend on may not.

      Reminds me of a blog on Internet Archive Blogs post by Brewster Kahle from November 2022, Digital Books wear out faster than Physical Books, which was also referenced on Hacker News.

      让我想起了 2022 年 11 月「Internet Archive Blogs」上 Brewster Kahle 发表的一篇文章,「Digital Books wear out faster than Physical Books(电子书比实体书磨损得更快)」。当时 Hacker News 上也有人 引用 过这篇文章。

    1. but he warned in numerous media appearances about the coming teen crime wave

      Can you really predict trends in crime? This reminds me of the War on Crime, which used data to "predict" where crimes would occur based off of past incidents. However, this research was not accurate, and would be detrimental to Black and low-income neighborhoods.

    1. Around the turn of the century, the availability of telephones in homes as well as businesses meant that people became more accessible day and night. Computer, beeper, cell phone, and fax technology are further expanding the scope, the ability, the necessity of instantaneous communication to the point where there is often no clear distinction between work time and leisure time. From Benjamin Franklin’s adage that time is money, to the oft heard expression today that timing is everything, we can gain an intuitive understanding of the increasing prominence of “time” as a social construct in modem society.

      I agree- while having advanced technology in different shapes and forms is great for completing necessary tasks, but means we're always plugged in and have a hard time finding a time when we are truly disconnected. This reminds me of hustle culture when bringing up "time is money" because people give away all their time and then some to afford to live, but in return they are letting time dictate their life.

    1. Women lined the rooftop and windows of the ten-story building and jumped, landing in a “mangled, bloody pulp.

      This must have been a terrible sight. It reminds me of the people that were trapped in the world trade center towers on 9/11.

    1. odyguards of the Last Governor belongs to the Hong Kong cinemagenre that is replete with crass inside jokes, political satire, and local refer-ences. The anti-Japanese scene described above, however, poignantly re-veals the duality of “Japan” in postwar East Asia:

      Reminds me of "Ain't no Catholics left"

    1. We cannot succeed in making even a single sentence mean one and only one thing; we can only increase the odds that a large majority of readers will tend to interpret our discourse according to our intentions.

      This reminds me of the probability functions we work with in physics. We can never determine exactly which state every particle is in, but we can make assumptions and even measurements of group behavior.

    1. We can now understand why it is that sometimes, when we have such processes, based on some former act of perception, occurring in the soul, we do not know whether this really implies our having had perceptions corresponding to them, and we doubt whether the case is or is not one of memory.

      This intake reminds me of how sometimes time can alter memories. One interesting theory that this reminds me of is the Mandala effect. Although these two are different, they are both similar in the sense of our mind altering something.

    1. and methods that have emerged to grapple with (and, often, capitalize on) the massive amounts of data generated by and through our interactions with connected devices

      This reminds me a lot of when I learned about social media algorithms and how much the capitalize off our interactions with them. For example, Tiktok has a very precise algorithm and very often shows you videos that match your current moo or situation. This drives users to come back and Tiktok then generates a lot more revenue through this.

    1. FIVE

      on the previous page i found that her pointing out that "oppression is the evil perpetrated by the Others" very insightful as to why

      1960s: oppression is systematic constraints on groups; (80s) oppression refers to injustices as a result of assumptions and reactions of well-meaning people in everyday life => this statement reminds me of implicit bias which I encountered in psychology, where subconscious thoughts affect our daily lives.

      I find it interesting how the definition of oppression evolves as more micro-aggressions are discovered.

      "the conscious actions of many individuals daily contribute to maintaining and reproducing oppression, but those people are usually simply doing their jobs or living their lives, and do not understand themselves as agents of oppression" this quote immediately brought me back to her opening quote about people who don't see the glass and don't realize they're not seeing the glass. she also pointed out that "for every oppressed group there is a group that is privileged" which I found very resonating because in my definition of dystopia I painted out people in power who benefits off of the oppressed.

    2. Social justice, I shall arguein later chapters, requires not the melting away of differences, but institutionsthat promote reproduction of and respect for group •differences withoutoppression

      This reminds me of the concept of "color blindness" in spaces which are predominantly white, a concept which is extremely counterintuitive. Ignoring another's differences does not make those differences disappear; acknowledgement and mutual respect are the key to social growth and justice

    3. . Sometimes a group comes to exist onlybecause one group excludes and labels a category of persons, and those label�d come to understand themselves as group members only slowly, on thebaSIS of their shared oppressio

      This reminds me of the concept of othering which refers to the social exclusion that occurs to people identifying with minoritized identities by those belonging in the majority.

      While the majority outcasts the minority, the minority also forms their own social groups and concepts of what is and is not acceptable, creating a cycle of social exclusion.

    4. Page 38: "One reason that many people would not see the term oppression to describe injustice in our society is that they do not understand the term in the same way as do new social movement"

      I agree with this statement. This reminds me of the very first quote from the reading.

    1. Trouble and ignorance are gone! the Light Hath come unto me, by Thy favour, Lord! Now am I fixed! my doubt is fled away! According to Thy word, so will I do!

      After their long discussion about the ethics and spirituality of Arjuna's duty to battle his family and friends, the warrior decides to fight. As the article "What should be the Moral Responsibilities of the Individual: A philosophical Discussion on the Ground of the Bhagavad Gita" notes about Arjuna's duty in the end "...Krishna reminds Arjuna that because he (Arjuna) belongs to the warrior class, it is his duty to fight." Within the dame passage also notes that his duty to fight as he ultimately decides here, is something he must do and it is just.

    1. n Unit 4, we also discovered that contributing to sustaining the quality of the environment is, to some extent, a public good, and that there are strong self-interested motives to free ride on the activities of others. So, while everyone would benefit if we all contributed to protecting the environment, we often do not do our part.

      This reminds me of the free rider problem, the burden on a shared resource that is created by its use or overuse by people who aren't paying their fair share for it or aren't paying anything at all.

    2. Name: Jonathan Tran

      This reminds me of the tragedies of the commons, where a situation in which individuals with access to a public resource (also called a common) act in their own interest and, in doing so, ultimately deplete the resource.

      Feeny, David, et al. “The Tragedy of the Commons: Twenty-Two Years Later.” Human Ecology, vol. 18, no. 1, 1990, pp. 1–19. JSTOR, http://www.jstor.org/stable/4602950. Accessed 3 Feb. 2023.

      In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, legendary schooners such as the Bluenose (Figure 20.2) raced back to port to sell their catch to be the first on the market, and to offer fresh fish. By the late twentieth century, the Grand Banks had sustained the livelihoods of the US and Canadian fishing communities for 300 years.

    1. Fueling the economic growth that resulted from these advances was America's remarkable support for universal secondary education and ac-cess to college for all who could qualify.

      This reminds me teh theory that society changes school. I think school and society are interact with each other, but the society play more vital role. I don't consider it is a bad thing cause that means most of people are chaging the world.

    1. The role of the National Chamber of Commerce is therefore vital. Other national organizations (especially those of various industrial and commercial groups) should join in the effort, but no other organizations appear to be as well situated as the Chamber.

      This part was especially insidious to me. The fact that the memo was written to his close friend who plays a gigantic role in the Chamber of Commerce is not a coincidence. As a reader it reminds me that politicians are people who can easily be swayed by the people that are around them.

    2. A chilling description of what is being taught on many of our campuses

      This section on what is being taught in colleges reminds me of Jowett's reading on propaganda and persuasion which touches on the idea that "propaganda" and "education" are interchangeable (36). Both instances think of how educational practices shape the ideals values by their students. The word "chilling" implements a fearful tone into the ideas that follow, perhaps suggesting that they are propagandistic.

    3. This setting of the “rich” against the “poor,” of business against the people, is the cheapest and most dangerous kind of politics.

      This line reminds me of the idea of group norms. Powell critiques the popularized notions or group norms within the different economic classes and how politicians play a substantial role— precisely the inherent divide among them. He further argues that the statements and regulations created by these people of high status influence the divide among these groups.

    1. A just atten-tion to the dead, I argue, requires digital humanists to learn from blackfreedom struggles and radical coalition building that offer new modelsfor “social justice, accessibility, and inclusion.

      Reminds me a lot of Brecht's idea of verfremdungseffekt, or distancing, in narrative works. There can be no narratization, rather work must be engaged with critically.

    1. although Father de Brebceuf was overwhelmed under the weight of these blows, he did not cease continually to speak of God, and to encourage all the new Christians who were captives like himself to suffer well, that they might die well, in order to go in company with him to Paradise.

      Wow. This is so hard to read. Reminds me of Jesus going to the Cross as well as others being martyred, persecuted, and having to suffer for their Faith.

    1. Self-image goals emphasize provingone’s worth to others to gain validation for desirable qual-ities while avoiding negative social evaluations

      Reminds me of high school. I feel those are typically the years when self-image started to really matter.

  10. Jan 2023
    1. Some federal urban renewal laws required that displaced residents be provided with new housing, but others did not.

      This reminds me of the displacement of Auroria residents when the University was built.

    1. imagines fairy-tale heroines in ‘modern day scenarios’ and replaces the ‘happily ever after’” withhyper-realism

      Reminds me of deconstruction-- just like Watchmen or The Boys might be for the superhero genre

    2. the ways in which people interpret and reproducematerial that is related to a subject of their interest, from fan fiction to filk (fan folk music).

      This reminds me of Stuart Hall's encoding and decoding theory. The ways in which people interpret and reproduce material constitute the decoding part of the theory (it's cool to see this theory in practice).

    1. Rural poverty occurs in nonmetropolitan areas with populations below 50,000. In rural areas, there are more single-guardian households, and families often have less access to services, s

      Is LA considered an urban poor neighborhood? This reminds me of the culture shock that a friend who lives in Arizona and was used to uncrowded places had when visiting. Unaccustomed to squares and noise, he was sometimes overwhelmed by the city itself.

    1. reruns of Friends, the latest episode of CSI or Glee.

      This reminds me of hearing about a famous Korean celebrity who learned English by watching reruns of Friends. This inspired me to continue my journey of learning Spanish by watching Spanish media. However, it is interesting how a majority of the content around the world does originate in English, and if there is no dubbed version available, people are forced to become accustomed with the English language.

    2. Even though some events can be proved to have happened, if they are not repeated in the right places, or worse, if they are overlooked or omitted by powerful histories, they can be silenced out of existence.

      This is a very scary reality. It's crazy to believe that events that obviously happened can be silenced out of history. This reminds me of the last reading where it talked about how it's important to see different perspective of history. Some countries might leave out certain history, or tell an event a different way, so it's important to understand and acknowledge different perspectives when it comes to history.

    1. Once upon a time, in the month of bleak winds, a Pawkunnawkut Indian named Tackanash, who lived upon the main land, near the brook which was ploughed out by the great trout, was caught with his dog upon one of the pieces of floating ice, and carried in spite of his endeavours to Martha’s Vinyard Island….

      seems like legends are popular in the Native American culture, reminds me of beowulf.

    1. Someone who does not see a pane of glass does not know that he does not see d.Someone who, being placed differently, does see it does not know the other doesnot see it.

      This immediately reminded me of The Giver, which is a dystopian film. It also reminds me of the last week's third learning goal about making knowledge public as a social justice tool. If someone doesn't know that they are being deprived of knowledge, they will not refute or question anything because they are oblivious. This also tells how assuming someone sees things the same way you see things can lead to a negative result on accident.

    2. George Sher, for example, treats social groups as aggregates,and uses the arbitrariness of aggregate classification as a reason not to givespecial attention to groups.

      I took a psychology class last semester about stereotypes and prejudice and this reminds me of an experiment we read about. I believe the participants were told to estimate if the amount of marbles in a jar was over or under 100. After they put in their estimates they were put into groups and were told that their group members gave the same or similar answers. The researchers then noticed through subsequent tests and observations that people tended to favor the people that were in their group. Just an example of how people will find any reason to form a social group

    3. ustice should refer notonly to distribution, but also to the institutional conditions necessary for thedevelopment and exercise of individual capacities and collective communication_ and cooperation

      This section reminds me of another part of the microlecture where Dr. Todd talked a little bit about how feminism and Marxism have similar qualities and principles. When she states that "justice should not only refer to distribution" I believe she is referring to the unequal distribution of goods and resources between those who control the means of production and the laborers. It will be interesting to read on and see how she connects this Marxist point to feminism

    1. Tribal

      This reminds me of other reading that explains how other terms (like group, village, etc.) is often more useful in accurately describing who you are writing about.

    2. Have them illuminate something about Europe or America inAfrica

      Reminds me of a reading from Toni Morrison "Playing in the Dark," Europe has been created and sustained through the invention of Africa in the ways Wainaina ironically lays out.

    3. Establish early on that your liberalism isimpeccable, and mention near the beginning how much you love Africa, how youfell in love with the place and can’t live without he

      I find this reference to "establishing your liberalism" very interesting. It reminds me of Steve Biko's insistence that the paternalistic white "liberals," who suggested that they would liberate the black Africans of South Africa as opposed to the black Africans themselves, were just as detrimental to the anti-apartheid movement and development of Black Consciousness than the avowed racists and advocates of apartheid.

    1. The point here is that I think this is one part of what teaching me how to think is really supposed to mean. To be just a little less arrogant. To have just a little critical awareness about myself and my certainties. Because a huge percentage of the stuff that I tend to be automatically certain of is, it turns out, totally wrong and deluded.

      This reminds me of the saying that the people that you hang around with are who you become. I found this to be true as I pick up on my friends lingo and their humor, and vice versa. We have a tendency to adapt and mold into our environment and their views. If we don't expand our horizons, we are arrogant and not open-minded. In order to avoid this we need to learn all point of views and reasonings for them to make an educated conclusion on our beliefs.

    1. When I saw these men in shackled, and the guards with their guns, I was scared nearly to death.

      Mostly everyone knows how bad slavery was, but it's nearly impossible to begin to imagine to pain, suffering, depression, and anxiety black people must've faced and felt during that time. This sentence also reminds me of how many people feel somewhat like this when they think of the police.

    1. Data can be poisoned intentionally as well. For example, in 2021, workers at Kellogg’s were upset at their working conditions, so they agreed to go on strike, and not work until Kellogg’s agreed to improve their work conditions. Kellogg’s announced that they would hire new workers to replace the striking workers:

      Intentional data poisoning does seem reasonable in some cases- for example the Kellogg's strike that was not taken into account (on the company), was taken into account of the public. This reminds me of Tuesday's lecture on who wold benefit given a trolling situation. In this case, I think the employees would benefit, the company would get bad press because of their refusal to worker rights. So in some cases data poisioning is good.

    1. Social media platforms then use “data mining” to search through all this data to try to learn more about their users, find patterns of behavior, and in the end make more money.

      Data mining seems to work very effectively and efficiently because, ads, profiles, videos are all catered to what you seem to like. I think this might be different but data mining also reminds me of how you might be talking about something and then you see ads on google about that exact thing. This does also make me question how third parties work and how can social media sites recommmend outside sources without the consent of the user knowing their personal information is going somewhere else?

    1. I was young the morning I sailed off with a band of Yupik hunters to look for walrus inthe northern Bering Sea. In the coming years, I would understand better how dangerousit could be to rely on my own way of knowing the world, especially when far from home.And whenever I found myself in those situations, I came to understand that it wasalways good to hold in suspension my own ideas about what the practical, wise, orethical decision might be in any given set of circumstances. The reservoir of knowledgesome, but not all, Indigenous residents possess reminds me of the phenomenon of theking post on a nineteenth-century whaling boat. It ensures structural integrity duringtimes of heavy seas or when the boat is being strained to its utmost by a harpoonedwhale desperate to escape.

      In this paragraph, the author writes about how some indigenous people know a lot about their homes and environments, and how this knowledge can be grounding during a difficult time. The purpose of this paragraph in the whole essay is to argue that having a known space gives a sense of stability in hard times, and continues his claim throughout this paragraph.

    1. The claim that individual learning may depend on others’ actions highlights the importance ofconsidering the learning context as a system involving multiple participants in interaction

      When it comes to learning context, what reminds me is the personalized learning context theory. Stephen Dowens (2010) pointed out that the learning context is a loose collection of learners, tools, resources and services, which is also a new form of the network power utilization. In a personalized learning context, there is undoubtedly that learners are the main body who participating in the teaching and learning activities. We can assume that in a passive process like listening to instructor’s point without learner’s interaction, it’s hard for learners to improve their creativity and learning efficiency. Many online learning environment designers<br /> create discussion forums in the learning system to record learners' interactions with other leaners, such as questions they ask and the responses to others' questions. The system can capture learners' study related data, analyze and assess their cognitive levels using algorithms such as the Proficiency Model.

    1. any negative characterization of a group raises ethical questions

      This perspective reminds me a debate when students at HBCUs were explaining that they feel more comfortable with African American teachers. I believe they fear characterization within academic settings

    1. 个人学习可能取决于他人行为的主张突出了将学习环境视为一个涉及多个互动参与者的系统的重要性

    1. This curriculum will be developed with participation from ethnic studies faculty at California universities and public school teachers who have a background in teaching ethnic studies.

      reminds me of PAR research

    2. hools raised their G.P.A. by 1.4 grade points, attendance by 21 percentage points, and credits earned by 23.

      This reminds me of the documentary we watched "Precious Knowledge" (2012) and how there was an about 90% increase in graduation rates. This is important because we begin to shift from schooling to actual education and learning.

    1. infringed on students’ First and 14th Amendment rights

      This conclusion reminds me of the Richard Delgado reading where he goes into detail to explain the paradox's that surrounding shutting down the MAS programs. In one of them, he elaborates on recognition and acquisition of self knowledge which I think he tied into the first amendment rights.

    1. has more of a ‘community we allknow each other’ feeling

      This reminds me of a small town versus a big city, where everyone knows each other versus not many people knowing anybody else.

    2. You know how inschool you’re creative, but you’re doing it for a grade so it doesn’t reallycount?”

      This reminds me of how when someone tells you to do something and you are already doing it, it isn't fun and you don't want to do it anymore.

    1. He talked about having access to some new programs, including ananimation program called Sweep,

      This reminds me of the SCRATCH animation program that I learned when I was younger.

    2. Luis’s workspace at the clubhouse was frequently crowded with boys whowere very much a part of the scene, laughing and giggling while making soundeffects, and gesturing with the action fi gures that appear in the movies.

      This reminds me of when I was younger me, my sister, and my best friend who lived in my neighborhood made a movie with a dinosaur that we cut off of an amazon box. It was a really great memory and I still have the movie we made on snapchat when I was in 7th grade.

    1. Maybe your family had a special reading time each week, getting your library card was treated as a special event, or bedtime stories were associated with warmth and comfort.

      Reminds me of the example that was told to me of a woman cutting the edges of a turkey before putting it in the oven. When asked why she did it, she simply responded by saying "this is how my mother would do it." Turned out the reason her mom would do it was so it would fit in the oven.

    1. It’s even in our media: As the linguist Rosina Lippi-Green points out, the way that cartoon characters speak, like the Lion King’s hyenas or Shrek’s donkey, reinforces our racial and linguistic stereotypes, encouraging kids to think of their classmates who sound like Simba or Shrek as “good guys,” people who sound like the hyenas as “bad guys,” and people who sound like Donkey as buffoons.

      I never realized that the media portrayed characters in that way and that it encourages children to judge others based on how similar they are to certain characters. It reminds me of my childhood, when kids were frequently compared to cartoon characters, and how powerful comments like those can be.

    2. Which English You Speak Has Nothing to Do With How Smart You Are

      The title reminds me of a phrase I have heard and used before: how you speak doesn't determine how smart you are.

    1. There was only a person

      This reminds me of the Genesis create story, with there only being one being to begin with. Here it is The Doctor of the Earth and in Genesis it is God. These two stories also share the idea that these two people basically created everything.

    1. unwittingly provide instruction that is irrelevant,ineffective, and even antagonistic to today’s diverse learners

      This reminds me of my elementary school days; there was a girl who was a Jehovah's witness that got left out of so many worksheets and activities that were unnecessarily holiday-themed

    1. the best thing humans can do for their own education isparticipate in, and avoid interfering with, Nature’s way

      This reminds me a lot of the Ecological Philosophy in Education and the consequenses of alienation from nature. One of them is that contibutes to the rates of physical and emotional illness

    1. This synthetic construct that makes an ab-straction of ‘North Africa’ and relegates Africa to a sub-Saharan part of the continent,is, to borrow from Théophile Obienga, a ‘Eurocentric Africanism’

      This reminds me of how settler-colonists attempt to create a stark divide between their culture and that of the indigenous people. Manufacturing social hierarchy and divisions play an important role in maintaining power throughout history.

    1. Students are selected based on their visual spatial coordination. In 1927 Ladovsky established his black room - a laboratory for testing spatial perception (of angles, volumes, linearity etc.) using tools of his own design.

      I would love to know what such an evaluation looked like! How do you test for spacial awareness? This reminds me of that Blokus or Tetris game I played as a child that required fitting items into various spaces. I wonder often why I didn't bother studying architecture after that.

    1. If you ever need anyone, let me know.' I could just go into her classroom during lunch and talk it out with her. I still talk to her."

      This passage reminds me of my 10th grade History teacher. He was my guide, support, and teacher all at once. When you have that support system you feel at ease and are able to do your work in a relaxed state of mind. Some situations have to be cut some slack from teachers because too much pressure could affect the students mental health.

    1. Another key insight about friendship is that it’s all about upside risk. I will meet many, many more people in my life than I could ever sustain friendships with, let alone close friendships. Thus, if I am meeting new people and want to find potential close friends, I want to filter fast for compatible people. Further, compatibility is heavy-tailed - I won’t really vibe with most people, but some people are awesome. I want to explore and optimise for information. This pushed towards high-variance strategies. If I meet 100 people, and want to pursue a friendship with just a handful, this is great! This is a very, very different mindset from standard social norms, which push me towards being bland and inoffensive, and minimising the probability of bad interactions. A bad interaction (so long as it doesn’t damage my reputation) is just as useless as a mediocre interaction for finding potential friends. Instead I want to maximise the probability that, if someone is compatible with me, we have an awesome interaction. This is a key part of why I push for excitement and vulnerability - many people won’t vibe with that, but it makes it much more likely that I hit it off with the right kind of person.

      Reminds me of "be polarizing" from Mark Manson's book, Models

    1. 35. Information-Action Ratio:The mark of useful info is that it makes us act differently. Most info we consume doesn't make us act differently; we just passively graze on it like cattle before defecating it undigested.Stop mindless scrolling and seek out info that changes you.

      I should put this on my wall. This is probably one of the most important things I've been thinking about in the last couple of months and is why I'm so currently focused on designing a system that enables me to capture, resurface, and utilize the ideas I come across.

      Reminds me of an article I read a couple years back with a salient question: "Of all the books you've read in the past year, how many of the things you learned did you actually use at some point in your life?" My answer to that question made me realize how much time I spend consuming things, but not actually using the information to improve my life, behavior, etc.

    2. 34. Promethean Gap:Technology is outpacing wisdom; we're changing the world faster than we can adapt to it. Lagging ever more behind accelerating progress, we're increasingly unable to foresee the effects of what we create. We're amassing the power of gods, yet we remain apes.

      This reminds me of a Tim Urban piece about how unfortunate it is that out minds run on essentially the same hardware (our brain) as it did 10,000 years ago.

    1. In reality, certain Protestant groups received the preponderance of such support, while Quakers, Catholics, and the few Jewish groups about were routinely excluded.

      I wonder if the civic republicans were cognizant of the disconnect that existed between what they espoused (i.e., state support for all) and what ended up occurring (i.e., the categorical exclusion of certain religious groups). This situation reminds me of how, if I recall correctly, the following sentence from the Declaration of Independence -- "all men are created equal" -- was written with the implicit understanding that non-WASPs were excluded.

    2. is the magistrate obliged to tolerate them, because they are committed in a religious assembly? I answer: No. These things are not lawful in the ordinary course of life, nor in any private house; and therefore neither are they so in the worship of God, or in any religious meeting. But, indeed, if any people congregated upon account of religion should be desirous to sacrifice a calf, I deny that that ought to be prohibited by a law. Meliboeus, whose calf it is, may lawfully kill his calf at home, and burn any part of it that he thinks fit. For no injury is thereby done to any one, no prejudice to another man's goods.

      This reminds me a lot of the discussion we had on Tuesday, about religious practices that cause direct harm to others not being exempt from relevant laws. While Locke's example of an animal sacrifice is something that is legal for religion because it is legal in other contexts, it appears Locke would oppose some of the allowances/exceptions to law made for religious organizations.

    1. Blog About Shared Future SOS Currency Public Blog About Shared Future SOS Currency Public Blog Follow @collabfund The Optimal Amount of Hassle May 19, 2021 SHARE ↓ by Morgan Housel @morganhousel Copy Link Steven Pressfield wrote for 30 years before publishing The Legend of Bagger Vance. His career leading up to then was bleak, at one point living in a halfway house because it had cheap rent. He once spoke about the people he met living there: The people in this halfway house, we used to hang out in the kitchen and talk all night long, were among the smartest people that I ever met and the funniest and the most interesting. And what I concluded from hanging out with them and from others in a similar situation was that they weren’t crazy at all. They were actually the smart people who had seen through the bullshit. And because of that, they couldn’t function in the world. They couldn’t hold a job because they just couldn’t take the bullshit, and that was how they wound up in institutions. The greater society thought, “Well these people are absolute rejects. They can’t fit in.” But in fact they were actually the people that really saw through everything. This may not have been Pressfield’s point, but it reminds of something I’ve long believed. If you recognize that BS is ubiquitous, then the question is not “How can I avoid all of it?” but, “What is the optimal amount to put up with so I can still function in a messy and imperfect world?” If your tolerance is zero – if you are allergic to differences in opinion, personal incentives, emotions, inefficiencies, miscommunication and such – your odds of succeeding in anything that requires other people rounds to zero. You can’t function in the world, as Pressfield says. The other end of the spectrum – fully accepting every incidence of nonsense and hassle – is just as bad. The world will eat you alive. The thing people miss is that there are bad things that become bigger problems when you try to eliminate them. I think the most successful people recognize when a certain amount of acceptance beats purity. Theft is a good example. A grocery store could eliminate theft by strip-searching every customer leaving the store. But then no one would shop there. So the optimal level of theft is never zero. You accept a certain level as an inevitable cost of progress. BS, in all its forms, is similar. A unique skill, an underrated skill, is identifying the optimal amount of hassle and nonsense you should put up with to get ahead while getting along. Franklin Roosevelt – the most powerful man in the world whose paralysis meant the aides often had to carry him to the bathroom – once said, “If you can’t use your legs and they bring you milk when you wanted orange juice, you learn to say ‘that’s all right,’ and drink it.” Every industry and career is different, but there’s universal value in that mentality, accepting hassle when reality demands it. Volatility. People having bad days. Office politics. Difficult personalities. Bureaucracy. All of them are bad. But all have to be endured to some degree if you want to get anything done.

      This reminds me of "Work Somewhere Dysfunctional" article

    1. Butwhat so many people—unfortunately so many educators and policymakers—fail to see is that if this is all you can do, then you can’t really read.

      Reminds me of the Willsher reading about the winner of the French Scrabble competition who can't speak French. He simply memorized the French Scrabble dictionary.

    1. “when… the cared-for is unable to respond in a way that completes the relation, the work of the carer becomes more and more difficult. Carers in this position need the support of a caring community to sustain them”(Noddings, 2012, p. 54).

      Carework as intrinsically transactional... This realization isn't a bad thing. It reminds us that it really is best if we get our own supports in place before engaging in this.

    1. Let’s say you have a goal like, “Spend more time with family (or friends)” … why do you need a goal like that in the first place? Without any judgment, it’s worth asking, Why aren’t you already doing that? Or another way to ask it: What will likely pull you away from that goal?

      Reminds me of murphyjitsu or failure mode effect analysis

    1. How, you wonder, can you be here, in place and at home in yourbody, and at the same time inhabit an atmospheric world that returnsthe body to you as a spectre? In that existential doubt lies the engine ofperception.

      This idea ties to the subjectivity and objectivity as mentioned in class. Rather the objectivity and subjectivity of sensing and perception can exist simultaneously. It reminds me of the Daoist work of Zhuangzi. This work is comprised of various parables on natural and humanist reflections. A very fundamental principle of Daoism is the mimicry of nature as it exhibits the Dao, or the Way. One such parable depicts Zhuangzi and Huizi, a prime minister, strolling along a dam. Zhuangzi makes a comment that the minnows are so joyful as they "dart around where they please." Huizi rebuts saying "You are not a fish -- how do you know what fish enjoy?" Zhuangzi eventually concludes that he know what the fish enjoy simply by standing by the river. The parable gets at the subjectivity of his observations intertwined with the objectivity of the fish's actions. They are existing together much like the observation of a stars light and the objective luminescence of a star. It gets slightly at perspective but creates a fascinating tension between the objective and subjective. If you want to read the parable is is here: https://terebess.hu/english/tao/Zhuangzi-Burton-Watson.pdf on page 276.

    2. namely,that light needs no eyes to exist; it only needs eyes to establish its relevance.

      This reminds me of ideas from Maiello's article "Post-Media Virality." Such as humans being a medium for the Coronavirus. The virus does not need humans specifically to exist. But, without humans there would not be a nearly as large spread, and the virus itself would not be documented.

    1. It asks us to neglect why and how some African groups welcomed European intervention and embraced modern forms of rule, in part, as their escape from local colonial overlords or from certain ways of ordering life and thought in their original cultures.

      This is an interesting point. It reminds me of a similar phenomenon in the European colonization of Latin America and North America: the pitting of enemy groups against each other and of those who were under rule against their rulers as a manipulative play to destabilize the regions so that the Europeans could then assert their will. What made me think of this in particular is the reference to an "escape from local colonial overlords."

    1. chiqu-it-it-...-it-o

      This reminds me of in Intro to Ling when we talked about different ways repetition is used in languages, like here it is used to emphasize a diminutive while in some languages repeating a word or morpheme performs a grammatical function like making it plural

    1. author is reputed to be the father

      This reminds me of Plato's Symposium that we read in lithum where Diotima speaks on men gaining immortality by "giving birth" to deathless works.
