      paraphrase - history of labor - Michel gives a nice succinct summary of the broad strokes of the history of labor over the last few millennia: - Civilizations have begun as slave-based societies first - Then when the Christian revolution occurred after the fall of the Roman Empire, "Ora et Labora (Pray and Work)" was adopted to transform work into a spiritually meaningful endeavor - Then in the 16th century, this philosophy was replaced by turning labor into a commodity, where it has remained ever since, - resulting in a world where 85% of those surveyed say they are not engaged with their job

    1. It was just at this time, during the summer of 1900, that Curlbaum and Rubens in Berlin had made very accurate new measurements of the spectrum of heat radiation. When Planck heard of these results he tried to represent them by simple mathematical formulas which looked plausible from his research on the general connection between heat and radiation. One day Planck and Rubens met for tea in Planck's home and compared Rubens' latest results with a new formula suggested by Planck. The comparison showed a complete agreement. This was the discovery of Planck's law of heat radiation.

    1. The markets and level of ubiquity of these items in their heyday are so dramatically different that this is certainly an apples and oranges comparison.

      However, if you want to compare the artist/users of the instrument to their machines, which is a way of potentially intuiting a potential answer to your question (one which is highly subjective), you might go by who was using particular typewriters of the time. Here's some data to consider: https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/typers.html

      For that rough era in American-made machines, you'll see peak engineering/manufacturing in the 1950s out of the Smith-Corona Super Silent, the Remington Quiet-Riter, and the Royal Quiet De Luxe. Design, touch, and tuning can all be such subjective measures here so as to heavily Muddy (the) Waters ('52 Gibson Les Paul Gold Top/'58 Fender Telecaster) on style, quality, and popularity amongst the cognoscenti. Peak quality in the 60s had broadly moved to post-war Germany and Italy with machines from Olympia (SM3, 4, 5, 7, etc.) and Olivetti respectively.

      For my personal money, in American machines of the time, I love the design and performance of my well-tuned, and mostly restored 1950 Royal KMG. However, the current market certainly wouldn't indicate a broader beloved status for these the way you'll see for Stratocasters. (You'll also find some horribly maintained and un-tuned machines out there on the market, which is why so much of the antique and vintage typewriter market pricing is so wildly out of whack.)

      A separate flavor of question certainly, but if you're looking for a solid performing typewriter to pair aesthetically and temporally with a '64 Strat, I'd go with a Royal FP ('57-62) (which came in Royaltone or Pearl Dark Gray smooth, Royaltone or Pearl Light Gray smooth, Willow Green smooth, Sea Blue smooth, Cameo Pink smooth (Petal Pink) , Brushed Aluminum, Sandstone smooth, and Coral Rose) or the smaller Royal Futura 800 ('58-'63).

      Summary - Michel presents a history of economic and societal coordination and makes the claim that the commons has an important role to play in maintaining a wellbeing species that balances: - human activity - health of the natural environment - peace between different human groups - In particular, he observes the important role that cosmolocal coordination may play - Michel takes us to a journey through history to explore the various different systems that different cultures used in the past - It's very interesting that in modernity, we have a system which is seen as absolute but a study of history shows how relative it is - That raises the question of why the current system feels so intractable? What gives it its entrenchment - Perhaps it's that the global spread of neocapitalism around the globe has made it "too big to fail"? - and it will actually require failing before a new phoenix can emerge from the ashes? I hope not!

    1. As far as ZK goes, you have an interesting connection your going on. But its like saying apples are like tomatoes. Like, okay they are both red, juicy, and technically fruit. But I would not consider them a substitute for each other. Savory and sweetness and all that. Different uses

      reply to u/Hugglebuns at https://old.reddit.com/r/Zettelkasten/comments/1gpx62s/is_a_zettelkasten_a_largely_unknown_form_of/lwtoopw/:

      I appreciate that you scratch some of the historical surface, but your apple/tomato analogy is flimsy and the family tree is a lot closer. Too often we're ignoring the history of ars excerpendi, commonplacing, waste books, summas, and early encyclopedias from the broad swath of intellectual history. What we now call a zettelkasten evolved very closely out of all these traditions. It's definitely not something that Luhmann suddenly invented one morning while lounging in the bath.

      Stroll back a bit into the history to see what folks like Pliny the Elder, Konrad Gessner, Theodor Zwinger, Laurentius Beyerlink, or even the Brothers Grimm were doing centuries back and you'll realize it's all closer to a wide variety of heirloom apples and a modern Gala or Fuji. They were all broadly using zettelkasten methods in their work. Encyclopedias and dictionaries are more like sons and daughters, or viewed in other ways, maybe even parents to the zettelkasten. Almost everyone using them has different means and methods because their needs and goals are all different.

      If you dig a bit you'll find fascinating tidbits like Samuel Hartlib describing early versions of "cut and paste" in 1641: “Zwinger made his excerpta by being using [sic] of old books and tearing whole leaves out of them, otherwise it had beene impossible to have written so much if every thing should have beene written or copied out.” As nice as Obsidian's new Web Clipper is this month, it's just another tool in a long line of tools that all do the same thing for much the same reasons.

      Ignoring these contributions and their closeness means that you won't be able to take advantage of the various affordances all these methods presented in your own slip box, whichever form it takes. How will you ever evolve it into the paper machine that students a century hence are copying and mimicking and pontificating about in their version of Reddit? Why couldn't a person's slip box have some flavor of an encyclopedia? Maybe it's closer to Adler's Syntopicon? Maybe something different all together for their particular use?

    1. Marley’s career illustrates the way reggae was repackaged to suit a rock market whose patrons had used marijuana and were curious about the music that sanctified it.

    1. reply to u/ArousedByApostasy at https://old.reddit.com/r/Zettelkasten/comments/1g8diq4/any_books_about_how_someone_used_zettelkasten_to/

      If you're suffering from the delusion (and many do) that Zettelkasten is only about Luhmann and his own writing and 4-5 recent books on the topic, you're only lacking creativity and some research skills. Seemingly Luhmann has lots of good PR, particularly since 2013, but this doesn't mitigate the fact that huge swaths of the late 1800s to the late 1900s are chock-a-block full of books produced by these methods. Loads of examples exist under other names prior to that including florilegia, commonplace books, the card system, card indexes, etc.

      Your proximal issue is that the scaffolding used to write all these books is generally invisible because authors rarely, if ever, talk about their methods and as a result, they're hard to "see". This doesn't mean that they don't exist.

      I've got a list of about 50+ books about the topic of zettelkasten or incredibly closely related methods dating back to 1548 if you want to peruse some: https://www.zotero.org/groups/4676190/tools_for_thought/collections/V9RPUCXJ/tags/note%20taking%20manuals/items/F8WSEABT/item-list

I've collected several dozens of examples, many of which you can find here: https://boffosocko.com/research/zettelkasten-commonplace-books-and-note-taking-collection/

Goitein - researchers on the Cairo Geniza still use his note collection to produce new scholarship; though he had 1/3 the number of note cards compared to Luhmann, his academic writing output was 3 times larger. If you dig around you can find a .pdf copy of his collection of almost 30,000 notes and compare it to his written work.
      • There's a digitized collection of W. Ross Ashby's notes (in notebook and index card format) which you can use to cross reference his written books and articles. https://ashby.info/
      • Wittgenstein had a well-known note collection which underpinned his works (as well as posthumous works). See: Wittgenstein, Ludwig. Zettel. Edited by Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe and Georg Henrik von Wright. Translated by Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe. Second California Paperback Printing. 1967. Reprint, Berkeley and Los Angeles, California: University of California Press, 2007.
      • Roland Barthes had a significant collection from which he both taught and wrote; His notes following his mother's death can be read in the book Morning Diary which were published as index card-based notes.
      • The Marbach exhibition in 2013 explored six well-known zettelkasten (including Luhmann's): Gfrereis, Heike, and Ellen Strittmatter. Zettelkästen: Maschinen der Phantasie. 1st edition. Marbach am Neckar: Deutsche Schillerges, 2013. https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Heike-Gfrereis/dp/3937384855/.
      • Philosopher John Locke wrote a famous treatise on indexing commonplace books which underlay his own commonplacing and writing work: Locke, John, 1632-1704. A New Method of Making Common-Place-Books. 1685. Reprint, London, 1706. https://archive.org/details/gu_newmethodmaki00lock/mode/2up.
      • Historian Jacques Barzun, a professor, dean and later provost at Columbia, not only wrote dozens of scholarly books, articles, and essays out of his own note collection, but also wrote a book about some of the process in a book which has over half a dozen editions: Barzun, Jacques, and Henry F. Graff. The Modern Researcher. New York, Harcourt, Brace, 1957. http://archive.org/details/modernreseracher0000unse. In his private life, he also kept a separate shared zettelkasten documenting the detective fiction which he read and was a fan. From this he produced A Catalogue of Crime: Being a Reader's Guide to the Literature of Mystery, Detection, and Related Genres (with Wendell Hertig Taylor). 1971. Revised edition, Harper & Row, 1989: ISBN 0-06-015796-8.
      • Erasmus, Agricola, and Melanchthon all wrote treatises which included a variation of the note taking methods which were widely taught in the late 1500s at universities and other schools.
      • The Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale has a digitized version of his note collection called the Miscellanies that you can use to cross reference his written works.
      • A recent example I've come across but haven't mentioned to others until now is that of Barrett Wendell, a professor at Harvard in the late 1800s, taught composition using a zettelkasten or card system method.
      • Director David Lynch used a card index method for writing and directing his movies based on the method taught to him by Frank Daniel, a dean at the American Film Institute.
      • Mortimer J. Adler et al. created a massive group zettelkasten of western literature from which they wrote volumes 2 and 3 (aka The Syntopicon) of the Great Books of the Western World. See: https://forum.zettelkasten.de/discussion/2623/mortimer-j-adlers-syntopicon-a-topically-arranged-collaborative-slipbox
      • Before he died, historian Victor Margolin made a YouTube video of how he wrote the massive two volume World History of Design which included a zettelkasten workflow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxyy0THLfuI
      • Martin Luther King, Jr. kept a zettelkasten which is still extant and might allow you to reference his notes to his written words.
      • The Brothers Grimm used a zettelkasten method (though theirs was slips nailed to a wall) to create The Deutsches Wörterbuch (The German Dictionary that preceeded the Oxford Dictionary). The DWB was begun in 1838 by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm who worked on it through the letter F prior to their deaths. The dictionary project was ended in 1961 after 123 years of work which resulted in 16 volumes. A further 17th source volume was released in 1971.
      • Here's an interesting video of Ryan Holliday's method condensed over time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU7efgGEOgk
      • Because Halloween is around the corner, I'll even give you a published example of death by zettelkasten described by Nobel Prize winner Anatole France in one of his books: https://boffosocko.com/2022/10/24/death-by-zettelkasten/

      If you dig in a bit you can find and see the processes of others like Anne Lamott, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Bob Hope, Michael Ende, Twyla Tharp, Kate Grenville, Marcel Mauss, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Phyllis Diller, Carl Linnaeus, Beatrice Webb, Isaac Newton, Harold Innis, Joan Rivers, Umberto Eco, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, Raymond, Llull, George Carlin, and Eminem who all did variations of this for themselves for a variety of output types.

      These barely scratch the surface of even Western intellectual history much less other cultures which have broadly similar methods (including oral cultures). If you do a bit of research into any major intellectual, you're likely to uncover a similar underlying method of work.

      While there are some who lionize Luhmann, he didn't invent or even perfect these methods, but is just a drop of water in a vast sea of intellectual history.

      And how did I write this short essay response? How do I have all these examples to hand? I had your same question years ago and read and researched my way into an answer. I have both paper and digital zettelkasten from which to query and write. I don't count my individual paper slips of which there are over 15,000 now, but my digital repository is easily over 20,000 (though only 19K+ are public).

      I hope you manage to figure out some version of the system for yourself and manage to create something interesting and unique out of it. It's not a fluke and it's not "just a method for writing material about zettelkasten itself".

    1. Who were the Physiocrats?

      for - definition - physiocrats - Steve Keen - economy - history - economic flow as biomimicry of body's circulation system

      definition - physiocrat - During the 18th and 19th century, a group of mostly French "economists" led by Francois Quesnay, physician to the King of France at the time, performed some of the first autopsies of the time. - Autopsies were banned for the longest time for religious reasons - When Quesnay performed autopsies, he discovered networks of tubes in the circulation system and this led him to surmise a network of circulation in another field, economics - Quesnay advised the king, hence the name physiocrat - So modern economics has its roots in biology - it was a case of biomimicry!

    1. Connecting Linkbetween twoSentences orParagraphs,

      Miles, 1905 uses an arrow symbol with a hash on it to indicate a "connecting link between two Sentences or Paragraphs, etc."

      It's certainly an early example of what we would now consider a hyperlink. It actively uses a "pointer" in it's incarnation.

      Are there earlier examples of these sorts of idea links in the historical record? Surely there were circles and arrows on a contiguous page, but what about links from one place to separate places (possibly using page numbers?) Indexing methods from 11/12C certainly acted as explicit sorts of pointers.

    2. And the same will apply to the objection that theSystem is unusual. Seldom have there been any newsuggestions which have not been condemned as ' un-us
    1. great GeoffreyChaucer; but those of you who know Professor Wade informally, a

      Offred's narrative makes connections to Chaucer, the first poet to publish in english. Most connection to the Canterbury tales which talks about pilgrims in a story-telling competition.

      So are handmaids on a pilgrimage, and it is a tale and not a biography ?? Is offred a pilgrim looking for her religiousness?

      Sexist element in saying she was looking for her lost faith and she was telling a fib, a lie, a myth.

      O Mustafa Kabha εργαζεται σε Ισραηλινο πανεπιστημιο:

      Mustafa Kabha is full Professor in the Department of History, Philosophy and Judaic Studies and the Head of the Middle Eastern studies at the Open University of Israel.

      Το μεμαλοποιει, στη λιστα με τις σφαγες στη Wikipedia δεν βρισκω πολλες τετοιες.

    2. Όλοι αυτοί είχαν ένα σημαντικό αβαντάζ εναντίον των Αράβων

      Τη μεγαλυτερη συνυπευθυνοτητα για την κατασταση εχει η ενοχικη σταση των Δυτικων υπερ των Σιωνιστων και ο ρατσισμός τους κατα των "μαυριδερών" αραβων.

      Δεν το διαβαζω συχνα αυτο το επιχειρημα σε κειμενα υπερασπισης το Ισραηλ, προτιμουν να μιλανε για την εργατικοτητα των αποικων. Αλλα εδω η λιστα ειναι υπερβολικα τριμαρισμενη. Οι ΗΠΑ δωσαν δισεκατομυρια για τουλαχιστον 50 χρονια: https://www.google.com/search?q=us+aid+to+israel+infographic

      Και η βοηθεια συνεχιζει. Για συσχετιση, σημερα μονο η στρατιωτικη βοηθεια των ΗΠΑ στο Ισραηλ (9εκ κατοικοι) ισουται με 2 φορες τον αμυντικο προυπολογισμο του Ιραν (88εκ κατοικοι),

      Επιτλεον, η σημαντικοτερη βοηθεια ειναι στον τομεα της προπαγανδα, δες πχ αυτη την ερευνα για την μεροληψια υπερ των Ισραηλινων του BBC.

    3. αλλά οι Άραβες όχι

      Θα επρεπε μηπως το οταν οι Κυπριοι απεριψαν το σχεδιο Αναν του ΟΗΕ, μετα να τους παιρναν τα εδαφη? Γιατι αυτο τους συνεβη μετα.

    4. η συντριπτική πλειοψηφία των οποίων, προσέξτε, σκοτώθηκαν από άλλους Άραβες! Δεν έχουν σχέση οι Εβραίοι με αυτές τις σφαγές.

      Ξεχναει τις πραξεις των Χαγκανα, Ιργκούν & Λεχι ισραηλινες τρομοκρατικες οργανωσεις. Ενω η Νοτριμ ηταν "δοσιλογικη" οργανωση που πληρωναν και εξοπλιζαν οι Βρετανοι για να αστυνομευει τους αραβες γειτονους τους.

      Αλλα οι λιστες με τις σφαγες, 2 ειναι μεγαλες.

    5. αλλά πρέπει να λάβει κανείς υπόψιν και όλο το κυνήγι των Εβραίων που τους οδήγησε στην προσφυγιά

      Δηλαδη να πληρωσουν οι μαυριδεροι για τα εγκληματα των Ναζι WASPs?

    6. Χισταντρούτ

      Η Χισταντρούτ ειναι μια Αριστερη Σιωνιστικη οργανωση πισω απο τα Κιμπουτζ (Εργατικος Σιωνισμος), απο αυτες που ηττηθηκαν απο τον τρομοκρατικο Σιωνισμο των Ιργκουν & Χαγκανα, αυτες που φτιαξαν τον σημερινο Ισραηλινο Στρατο (IDF) που μαζι με τη Μοσσαντ, εγγυουνται το κρατος του Ισραηλ.

      Και εγω απορω γιατι αναφερεται ως τρομοκρατικη. Εκτος και αν επιδιωκει την αμαύρωσή της μεσω της διαψευσης(?).

    7. Αν οι Εβραίοι είχαν φύγει από την Παλαιστίνη από δική τους επιλογή εγκαταλείποντάς την, τότε οι Παλαιστίνιοι Άραβες θα είχαν όλο το δίκιο με το μέρος τους. Αλλά οι Εβραίοι έφυγαν επειδή τους κυνηγούσαν, αναγκάστηκαν να φύγουν.

      Αυτο το λενε μονο βαθεια φανατικοι θρησκευομενοι Σιωνιστες.

    8. ανάμεσα σε Άραβες και Εβραίους.

      Ηδη απο το 1929 οι Παλαιστινιοι ξεκινησαν να στοχευουν τους εποικους με την εξεγερση του αλ-Μπουρακ (απο το 3:00).

    9. το Ισραήλ έσφαζε τους Άραβες που κατοικούσαν στα εδάφη του. Υπήρξαν μεμονωμένες συγκρούσεις αλλά ήταν ακριβώς αυτό, μεμονωμένες.

      Ο Ilan Pape απαντα στο ποσο δηθεν "μεμονωμένες" ηταν οι συγκρούσεις.

    10. Αστέριο Κεχαγιά
    11. Ήταν επανάσταση των Αράβων στους Βρετανούς αποικιοκράτες.

      Οντως ηταν. Μοιαζει ολο αυτο με το πως εσπρωξαν οι Βρετανοι στη διχονοια την Κυπρο το '50.

      Αλλα οι "νικητες", με τη γεναιοδωρη βοηθεια της Δυσης, Εβραιοι, αφου εδιωξαν και τους Βρετανους, ειναι προσβλητικο να επικαλουνται το "μπαχαλο" της εποχης, αντι να αναλαμβανουν τις εθνοκαθαρτικες ευθυνες τους.

      Μονο που οι Παλαιστινιακη μνημη ειναι απο αιμα καταγεγραμμενη και δεν φρονιμευει με τετοιες δικαιολογιες.

    12. συγκρούσεις ανάμεσα σε διαφορετικές ομάδες Αράβων

      Ακουγεται σα δικαιλογια. Και οι Ελληνες ειχαν 3 εμφυλιους, δικαιωνε αυτο τους Τουρκους? Και οι Τουρκοι δεν ειχαν καν εκδιωξει τους ελληνες απο τις εστιες τους.

      Οι φοβερες σφαγες που μνημονευουν οι Παλαιστινιοι δεν εγιναν με βεδουινους, παντως.

    13. πέταξε έξω τους Παλαιστίνιους με το ζόρι σφάζοντάς τους και ίδρυσε το κράτος του το ’48.

      Μεγαλη μπουκια φαε, ...(βλεπε παρακατω).

    14. Η επιστροφή τους όμως αυτή δεν φαίνεται να έλαβε αρχικά καθόλου υπόψιν της, αυτούς που κατοικούσαν ήδη εκεί και οι οποίοι δεν ρωτήθηκαν. Θα πει κανείς ”όταν σε κυνηγούν και τρέχεις να σωθείς, δεν προλαβαίνεις να ρωτήσεις” αλλά θα μπορούσε ωστόσο να αποφευχθεί αρκετή βία.

      Παραπανω δεν ελεγε πως ηταν ολα ροδινα?

    15. Έπρεπε έπειτα από αιώνες περιπλάνησης και διασποράς να βρουν το δικό τους μέρος και όχι απλώς να είναι διάσπαρτοι σε διαφορετικές χώρες.

      Δεκτο. Αλλα γιατι να την πληρωσουν πληθυσμοι που δεν ειχαν σχεση με τους διωγμους των εβραιων? Και γιατι να φερθουν ως αποικειοκρατες κατακτητες, και οχι ως ικετες και προσφυγες?

    16. όχι μόνο είχαν παρελθόν

      Ειπαμε, η σχεση των Ασκεναζι με το Λεβαντε ειναι συγκεχυμενη:

      The origins of early AJ, as well as the history of admixture events that have shaped their gene pool, are subject to debate (Data S1, section 1). Genetic evidence supports a mixed Middle Eastern (ME) and European (EU) ancestry in AJ. This is based on uniparental markers with origins in either region (Behar et al., 2006, 2017; Costa et al., 2013; Hammer et al., 2000, 2009; Nebel et al., 2001)

    17. των περιπλανώμενων Εβραίων

      Αναφερεται στο Pale of Settlement? Και στους "τυχερους" που ξεφευγαν απο αυτο??

    18. ας τον μεταφράσουμε ως εποικισμό

      Οι Σιωνιστες το μεταφραζουν ως "επιστροφη", να μην εχει και αρνητικης προεκτασεις.

    19. αποφύγουν τους διάφορους διωγμούς

      Σε τι διωγμους ανασερεται ο επιστημονας εδω? Ποιοι τους εδιωχναν? Γιατη δεν εδιωχναν τους αλλους γηγενεις πληθυσμους??

      Ετσι απροσδιοριστα εντασσεται στη hasbara θυματοποισης τους εβραικου λαου απο την προιστορια.

    20. πριν φύγουν οι Εβραίοι από εκεί

      Παλι θεωρειται δεδομενο κατι που εκκρεμμει να αποδειχτει.

    21. οι Εβραίοι είχαν από καιρό διαφύγει στην Ευρώπη

      Ωπα!!<br /> Που ειναι τα ιστορικα τεκμηρια για τετοια μεγαλη μετακινηση?? Ποτε ακριβως εγινε αυτο? Υποτιθεται ξεκινησε με την καταστροφη του Ναου τους απο τους Ρωμαιους το ~90μχ αλλα δεν σημειωνεται κατι στο DNA ή σε ιστορικα ντοκουμεντα. Ειναι θρησκευτικη η θεωρια αυτη.

      Γενετικα οι Ασκεναζι, οι εβραικοι πληθυσμοι της βορειοανατολοκης Ευρωπης εχουν μικρη μονο γενετικη συνδεση με το λεβαντε: ελαχιστη με τους κανααναΐτες, λιγο μεγαλυτερη με τους εβραικους πληθυσμους του.

      Αυτο ειναι μεγαλο ζητημα, και ακομη και να ισχυε στο 100%, δεν μπορει να διεκδικουν τη γη μετα απο 3000 χρονια, σωστα?

    22. Άραβες και Εβραίοι

      Παλι αυτη η αναχρονιστικη αντιστιξη.

    23. Ο Τσέρτσιλ μόλις το 1921/1922 χώρισε την προηγουμένως ενιαία περιοχή στα δύο με το δεξί μέρος να αποτελεί την Ιορδανία και το αριστερό να ονομάζεται Παλαιστίνη.

      Βασικη δικαιολογια του Ισραηλ απο τον επεκτατικ'ο του πολεμο των 6 ημερων το '67 ειναι πως υπαρχει ηδη Παλαιστινιακο κρατος, η Ιορδανια.

    24. όταν ιδρύθηκε το Κράτος του Ισραήλ το 1948 δεν κατέλυσε κανένα παλαιστινιακό Κράτος

      Strawman's argument. Κανεις Παλαιστινιος δεν ειπε πως η Nakba κατεστρεψε το κρατος τους. Απο τη γη τους τους εδιωξε και τους παπουδες τους εκτελεσαν.

    25. έδιωξαν πρώτα τους προηγούμενους κατοίκους.

      Τους εδιωξαν ολους?! Η προσφατη γενιτικη ερευνα δειχνει το αντιθετο.

    26. Οι Αιγύπτιοι τους ονόμαζαν Πελεσέτ και τους συμπεριλάμβαναν στους λαούς της θάλασσας

      Μαλλον ειναι ξεπερασμενη η θεωρια, βλ. WP.

    27. όχι ΔΕΝ ήταν Έλληνες οι Πελασγοί

      Ξεπερασμενη θεωρια:

      the Greek etymology of Pelasgian terms mentioned in Herodotus such as θεοί (derived from θέντες) indicates that the "Pelasgians spoke a language at least 'akin to' Greek".

    28. και οι δύο λαοί, Εβραίοι και Άραβες

      Tο οτι απο νωρις το κειμενο τοποθετει τους Εβραιους ανταγωνιστικα απεναντι στους Αραβες απο την εποχη του Χαλκου (3300π.χ. - 1200πχ), ξεχωριζοντας και τους δύο απο τους Χαναανιτες, ειναι η Ιουδαικη εξιστορηση. Η σημασια της ειναι να μεινουν οι Εβραιοι σαν το μοναδικο αρχαιο φυλο της περιοχης.

      Βλεπεις, ο προπατορας των Αραβων ο Μωαμεθ εμφανιιστηκε ~1600 χρονια αργοτερα, το 600μχ, και εξισλαμισε αρκετα απο τα σημιτικα φυλα αυτης της περιοχης του Λεβάντε, εβραιους συμπεριλαμβανομενους, κατα τη WikiPedia (WP):

      The Muslim conquest of the Levant in the 7th century initiated a process of Arabization and Islamization through the conversion and acculturation of locals, accompanied by Arab settlement.

      Επιτλεον, οι συγχρονοι παλαιστινιοι (και οι γηγενεις εβραιοι) εχουν γενετικη συνεχεια με τους πληθυσμους της περιοχης στην Εποχη του Χαλκου (WP):

      Historical records and later genetic studies indicate that the Palestinian people descend mostly from from Ancient Levantines extending back to Bronze Age inhabitants of Levant.

      Αυτη η θεση αντηχει μεσα στο κειμενο, "ειστε Αραβες, ξενομπατηδες απο τη Σ.Αραβια", ενω η WP σωστα γραφει:

      [...] the Arab identity of Palestinians is largely based on linguistic and cultural affiliation and is not necessarily associated with the existence of any Arabian origins.

    1. First, it worked in the interest of those in Britian wishing to dismantle the Ottoman Empire and incorporate parts of it into the British Empire. Second, it resonated with those within the British aristocracy, both Jews and Christians, who became enchanted with the idea of Zionism as a panacea for the problem of anti-Semitism in Central and Eastern Europe, which had produced an unwelcome wave of Jewish immigration to Britain.

      Ilan Pape on why [[Balfour Declaration]] was welcomed in the Britain.

    2. The wider historical context goes back to the mid-19th century, when evangelical Christianity in the West turned the idea of the “return of the Jews” into a religious millennial imperative and advocated the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine as part of the steps that would lead to the resurrection of the dead, the return of the Messiah, and the end of time.

    1. Their success from a technical aspect was based in part on separating the camera from the sound recording device (David used a Nagra) by accurately controlling the speed of the camera and the tape recorder, allowing the two devices to be moved independently with respect to each other, an impossibility in commercially available equipment at the time. Long takes with ordinary equipment of the era would invariably lose synchronization.

      Henry Dreyfuss added crinkle paint to his Royal Quiet De Luxe typewriter design to diffuse reflected light so that typists who worked at their machines all day wouldn't have headaches from the glare reflecting off the fronts of their machines.

    1. Interesting perspective as interpretation where Jack says at the moment the song says "Who made up words, who made up numbers? Who wrote the Bible, who wrote the Q'uran" it might not even be a call to reflect and think for yourself (although this is absolutely a recurring theme in the song) but maybe they are implying all the science traces back not to the West (Europe) but to the East (Egypt, Africa). This interpretation aligns with the album this song was produced in, which is about Africa.

    1. One large study by Ben D. Woodand Frank N. Freeman in 1932 paved theway for acceptance in elementary schools.The study included 14,947 children ofelementary-school age in an experimenton the effect of the typewriter on class-room performance (3). The children whohad typing instruction actually spent onlyan hour or two a week at the typewriter,yet at the end of the first year they out-performed the nontyping pupils in read-ing.

      Fascinating. Rob Pierri mentions that there had been a shift in education from the development of the soul to the development of monetizable skills... Keep society manageable.

      The question that remains for me is, what will ultimately leave society better and advance it? In the end, what matters more, the material or the immaterial? Why?

    1. In 1996, technology historian Jennifer S. Light compared the talk of “cyberoptimists” about virtual communities to city planners’ earlier optimistic predictions about shopping malls. As the automobile colonized U.S. cities in the 1950s, planners promised that malls would be enclosed public spaces to replace Main Streets. But as Light pointed out, the transition to suburban malls brought new inequities of access and limited the space’s functions to those that served commercial interests.

    1. one of the things i suggested in a short history of progress is that 00:30:18 one of our problems even though we're very clever as a species we're not wise

      for - key insight - progress trap - A Short History of Progress - we are clever but NOT wise!

      key insight - progress trap - A Short History of Progress - we are clever but NOT wise! - In other words - Intelligence is FAR DIFFERENT than wisdom

      new memes - We have an abundance of intelligence and a dearth of wisdom - A little knowledge is dangerous, a lot of knowledge is even more dangerous

    2. written history you can only get in literate societies and and the invention of writing is quite recent and in and in some areas the world extremely recent 00:23:25 so you you just don't have a great big depth of history but archaeology goes back tens hundreds and thousands of years and even millions of years especially when you're talking 00:23:37 about the evolution of our species

      for - comparison - history vs archeology - Ronald Wright

      comparison - history vs archeology - Ronald Wright - Written history is very recent but archeology can go back hundreds of millions of years

    3. we have had a completely stable climate for more than 10 000 years in which to develop agriculture and probably 00:16:12 you can't develop agriculture if you're experiencing a great deal of climate fluctuation because your experiment will fail at some point due to frost or drought

      for - history - agriculture - Holocene required

      history - agriculture - Holocene required - Ronald Wright makes a good point, without a long stable climate period such as the Holocene, agricultural experimentation would not have succeeded

    4. the really big progress traps uh come with with the invention of 00:07:20 agriculture and i i mentioned the first full-blown civilization in the old world the sumerians who perfected the art of irrigation 00:07:33 in what is now southern iraq

      for - progress trap - example - from history - Sumerian civilization

      progress trap - example - from history - Sumerian civilization - the really big progress traps uh come with with the invention of agriculture and - i mentioned the first full-blown civilization in the old world the sumerians who perfected the art of irrigation in what is now southern iraq and - for for several centuries everything went really well - They had built canals and ran the water onto the desert and were able to - raise more and more crops and - expand their farmland and - expand their population and - their cities got bigger - their numbers got greater but - what they didn't know is that the kind of irrigation they were practicing - was causing the land to get saltier and saltier - and after a number of centuries they suddenly saw their farm meals declining because of salinity - and they had to switch to crops that could tolerate more salt - and then eventually they ended up producing only about one quarter of the food that they'd been able to produce when they started -and the civilization collapsed - So they had walked into what i call in my book a progress trap - and this is where the myth of progress is so seductive - You do something that in the short run produces obvious benefits so you're getting this positive feedback from some new invention, whether it's - a new way to drive mammoth over a cliff or - it's a new way to expand your farm base through irrigation - but there's a hidden cost down the road which is often hard to foresee

    5. the idea that this can go on forever is where the myth of progress gets 00:04:00 dangerous because

      for - quote - myth of progress - Ronald Wright

      quote - myth of progress - Ronald Wright - (see below) - although the idea that this can go on forever is where the myth of progress gets dangerous - because there have been many times and places in the human past, - not even necessarily in our own cultural tradition - among other civilizations where there have been great periods of - expansion and - prosperity - and everybody started to get the idea that life was getting better and better - but usually those those periods of rapid expansion are done and nature pays the bills for that

      Comment - history repeats when we forget the lessons of that part. - Historians are so important right now to remind us of past lessons

    1. Samuel joined the party as soon as he was old enough, but left as part of the mass exodus prompted by Khrushchev’s secret speech and the Soviet crushing of the Hungarian uprising in 1956.
    2. Despite – or perhaps because of – all this activity, Samuel only published one sole-authored book in his lifetime, Theatres of Memory (1994), an account of the popular historical imagination in late 20th-century Britain told via case studies, from Laura Ashley fabrics to the touristification of Ironbridge. Since his death from cancer in 1996, however, Samuel has been prolific. A second volume of Theatres of Memory, titled Island Stories: Unravelling Britain, came out in 1998, followed in 2006 by The Lost World of British Communism, a volume of essays combining research and recollections.

      Theatres of Memory (1994) sounds like it's taking lots of examples from a zettelkasten and tying them together.

      It's also interesting to note that he published several books posthumously. Was this accomplished in part due to his zettelkasten notes the way others like Ludwig Wittgenstein?

    3. In 1967, Samuel founded the History Workshop movement to democratise ‘the act of historical production, enlarging the constituency of historical writers, and bringing the experience of the present to bear upon the interpretation of the past’; it held huge, radical and ecumenical events, published pamphlets and books, and in 1976 founded its own journal, still running today.
