Dating is hard, but as AI gets more sophisticated and becomes integrated into our everydaylives, we shouldn’t be afraid to allow it to lend us a hand. Just don’t forget to thank it at thewedding.
Because McArthur claims "...we shouldn't be afraid to allow it to lend us a hand," this shows that he's suggesting the reader to have a change of attitude towards AI and that we should let our guard down and allow it to help us.
-
But it’s not all doom and gloom. Used in the right way, AI can actually make datingbetter.
McArthur is giving his opinion, claiming that AI can make dating better if used correctly. That take would go down as a Claim of Value because he says AI can be positive or helpful, instead of stating a fact.
-
The Kinsey Institute’s annual “Singles in America” survey revealed that 14 per cent ofGen Z-ers, and six per cent of all single people, are already using AI to help with dating
This is a claim of fact because there is data given to support the statement

There's a mismatch between me and my writing tools. They seem to want something slightly different from what I want. I wonder if anyone else has this feeling? I mean there's plenty of people who are apparently on a life-long quest to find the perfect app, because they still haven't found what they're looking for. What's up with that? Well this article made things a lot clearer for me: Artificial Memory and Orienting Infinity | Kei Kreutler. Kreutler argues we've conflated all memory with computer memory. That's to say we've assumed everything can be stored and retrieved as data. But this misses something crucial, which is that the kind of memory that shapes worlds requires transmission, relationship, and context, and not just storage. And this got me thinking: doesn't this apply to our digital writing tools? They have to store our writing as data, but in doing so they change it in subtle ways we might not even notice, except as the kind of vague unease I've been feeling. Why your note-making tools don’t quite work the way you want them to - and what to do about it. So am I over-thinking it again, or have you too felt a gap between what you want to do and what your writing tools expect you to do?
reply to u/atomicnotes at https://reddit.com/r/Zettelkasten/comments/1qjrnp8/why_dont_my_notemaking_tools_work_the_way_i_want/
In older analog offices, the office worker stored things on paper in piles, in folders, in various locations within their office. Because humans have excellent spatial memory, the worker would have an idea of what he might want and would know in which pile on their desk or which filing cabinet it might be filed in. Despite what may look like a messy office, most will know exactly where certain papers are "hiding". This overlaps with older indigenous cultures and artificial memory with structures like songlines, talking rocks, and later techniques from ars memoriae like method of loci or memory palaces. For more on this cross reference Hudson & Thames' First Knowledges series edited by Margo Neale.
Entirely digital-based methods have erased a lot of these sorts of locational affordances.

Right. You wouldn't. Which means you can embed the author information there—because you're not going to go through and change them.
You can (and should) just leave them alone.
Author profiles on hardcover dustjackets don't change when the author changes affiliation or relocates or dies. Their forwards and prefaces don't change when available information on the subject evolves. This is all not just perfectly fine, but desirable.

The king of Kish even sometimes enforced order inSumer. For example, Enannatum’s son, Enmetena, wrote that theborder between Lagash and Umma had been determined by thegreat god Enlil himself and had been confirmed by the king of Kish:“Mesalim, king of Kish, at the command of (the god) Ishtaran,measured the field and set up a (boundary-) stone there.” Theauthority of the king of Kish was therefore acknowledged, at leasttemporarily, by both the king of Umma and the king of Lagash.
There is an interesting example of the mnemonic use of stone here in ancient Sumer. It serves as a boundary/border marker by its physical presence, but apart from any (other local) mnemonic uses, it also carries an inscription as a secondary form of long term written memory.
-
Not far from the Ibgal temple of Inanna where the dedicatory tabletwas found, archaeologists excavated the earliest known breweryanywhere in Mesopotamia (a tablet found there even mentioned thebrewer).
-
all of the 1,700administrative tablets that were found at the later capital of Lagash,called Girsu, came from the queen’s palace.
-
The tablet wasfound by archaeologists in the foundations of the temple of Inannain Lagash, called the Ibgal. This extensive complex was oval inshape, as were many Early Dynastic temples in other cities, with alarge courtyard and a platform on which Inanna’s temple wasconstructed.
What is the general history of oval-shaped architecture? Is there an explicit link between the Oval shape of the complex at Ibgal, the temple (or house) of Inanna in Lagash and the oval office at the White House?
Keep in mind that modern knowledge of large portions of the Ancient Near East only surfaced after the 1800s, so the tradition would have required intermediaries from the ANE into other cultures to be passed down to the building of the White House in 1792.
-
Every human alive, the king included, was just a servant to thegods, and those gods could choose to treat him or her however theywanted.
At what point in history did it seem apparent to a larger portion of the populace that "god(s) anointed the king" was no longer a presumed reality? When did it seem that way to the kings themselves? Or have they always believed the myth?
-
The Sumerian term for king, “lugal,” literally meant “big man.”
-
Order was maintained in the universe because the king of the godspossessed an object called the “Tablet of Destinies” on which wereinscribed theme (pronounced “may”). Theseme were never writtendown on any earthly tablet, as far as we know, for humanedification. But they encompassed all that kept chaos at bay.
-
The investment of time and manpower devoted to the constructionof this complex would have resembled the work on a medievalcathedral. As early as 3600 BCE work had begun on the so-calledLimestone Temple in the Eanna precinct. Quarrymen and masonsremoved limestone from a rocky outcrop around fifty kilometers (31mi) to the southwest. Other men transported the stone to Uruk. Stillothers formed hundreds of thousands of mud bricks and clay cones,and set them out to harden in the sun. Others brought timber fromfar to the north for the roofs. Someone supervised all the workmenwho set the bricks and stones and mosaic cones in place. The menwould have been fed and provided for during the construction. Thebuilders were all probably residents of Uruk, united in their desire tocreate a magnificent home for their beloved divine queen.
Possibility that even with proto-cuneiform (writing) evolving here that such temples were local memory palaces for the culture of the inhabitants who would have been primary orality-based?
-
Law, for example,once invented in Mesopotamia around 2100 BCE, was never forgotten,even though the actual laws of the Mesopotamians bear littleresemblance to those in use today.
-
The popularimage of history as a story of progress from primitive barbarism tomodern sophistication is completely belied by the study of the ancientNear East.

reply to harr at https://forum.zettelkasten.de/discussion/3392/folgezettel-vs-duplex-numeric-arrangement
I'll shortly have a lot more to say on this very subtle historical subject, which I've been work at off and on over the past month or so. My analysis indicates entire lack of innovation on the fronts which you're indicating. Pages 178-180 show the period standard practice of the subject alphabetic filing you say Luhmann was innovating against, but the duplex-numeric is exactly what he was using. The method he chose had been recommended and in use since at least the 1910s—especially for law offices.
Your quotes from his 1981 paper, while interesting, create a false impression stemming from post hoc, ergo propter hoc analysis. You have to remember that by the 1980s, he's been practicing this for nearly 30 years and is providing a reflection on that practice, which is also heavily impacted by his systems theory work through those decades. I strongly suspect that his mid-century perspective didn't stray far from that Remington Rand outline or those of scores of other sources.
It bears noting that of the four potential methods suggested in the chapter, the last one is the Dewey Decimal method, which many who've been in the zettelkasten space have also very naturally tried using as a scaffolding for their filing work. Others have also reasonably suggested variations like the Universal Decimal Classification system or Wikipedia's Academic Outline of Disciplines.
One will also notice that the option of doing a "Variadex Alphabetic" arrangement hasn't ever (to my knowledge) been mentioned in the online zettelkasten space. It was given the pride of place as first in the list of options, but this stems primarily from the fact that it was a variation offered by Remington Rand as a paid product with the related accessories. Every filing cabinet company and major stationery company had variations on this theme with their own custom names and products.

Presumably (is there a way to check), Luhmann gave this lecture while he was teaching from 1965-68 in his position at the Sozialforschungsstelle an der Universität Münster (Social Research Centre of the University of Münster).

Excerpts? Only if they are formal definitions or concise formulations. Do not copy pages and pages.
Luhmann encourages excerpts only for formal definitions and concise formulations. He explicitly admonishes against copy many pages outright.

Reaching a level of abstraction is a slow learning process that builds upon what is already present in the card index . In this way , conceptual and interest-based priorities consolidate .
-
Nevertheless, a certain rough orienting scheme is important for the beginning . It makes it easier to find "regions". Where from? Bibliography, textbooks. Again: this is not a core problem
Essentially my idea of creating "neighborhoods of ideas" explained in other terms.

What belongs together changes anyway depending on the question being asked and cannot be predetermined schematically. No straitjacket, but rather the principle of arbitrariness

22:48 "It's the gravitas of the situation that I see, that frustrates me that other people don't see it. I have been "preparing" intentionally since Hurricane Katrina, but I grew up on a farm in upstate New York. I know how to hunt. I know how to butcher animals. I know how to grow food. I know row crops and gardens. I know foraging in the woods. I know how to fish and where to get water from. And I understand how to move in a rural environment, not just the topographical terrain, but the human terrain as well. Been doing that my whole life. One could say, I've been prepared for this by the hand of the Most High my whole life. And I I see it. I see it coming. And it... while I would love to be wrong, it bothers me that others who do see it, or pay lip service to seeing it, don't take it as seriously as they should."

In such an environment, goes the line of reasoning in the mind of the average executive, does it not make sense to heavily prioritise onboarding alongside user acquisition so that users won’t immediately give up or get distracted, or gasp, go to a competitor?!
When users are treated like a commodity by powers that be, there is a concentration on making apps "usable" and "universal" in order to avoid "churn"

<center> How the Rosetta Stone was discovered
</center><div style="background-color: silver; color: black; font-weight: bold;"> Nearly 2 000 years after the Rosetta stone decree was written, the French military engineer Pierre Francois Bouchard was repairing the defenses of an Arab Fort strengthening it against the ottoman Fleet that's expected to arrive within a short time. Only a year ago the French army had invaded Egypt and attempted to set up a colony but that increasingly looked doomed to failure as both the Ottomans and British were mustering to attack the French and the Army has to consistently battle internal revolts. </div>
Discovery of the Rosetta Stone
<div style="background-color: DarkCyan; color: white; font-weight: bold;"> During the repair work the engineers find the stone seemingly used as scrap construction material in an old wall. They immediately brought it to Bouchard's attention as they're supposed to do with any artifact. Seeing the script on the broken Stone Bouchard immediately realized the implications of this find as this inscription was in three different languages and it could be the key to finally deciphering Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics. so he sends out a message saying he's found a curious artifact near Rosetta the French name for Rasheed. </div>
How Rosetta Stone was deciphered
<div style="background-color: LightCyan; color: black; font-weight: bold;"> Bouchard sent out a message saying he's found a curious artifact near Rosetta, the French name for Rasheed. He then passed the stone to General Mano transferring it to his tent to be cleaned and the Greek to be translated while they dug in hopes of finding its missing pieces but then as the French army fought off an Ottoman landing at Abu kirbei Bouchard accompanied the 1700 pound Stone to the savants headquarters at Cairo. It arrived just in time for Napoleon to see it before he ditched the Expedition and sailed back to France. In doing so he left the savants with a deteriorating military situation alongside a Priceless but extremely heavy artifact that they had no way of getting back to France. </div>
Note:The French Expedition also had an academic component of over 150 so-called savants - scientists, writers, linguists and other academics who had come along setting up a research institute in Cairo where they studied everything from local Wildlife to ancient artifacts.
The deciphering of the Rosetta Stone
Rosetta Stone changes hands from French to the British:
It became soon obvious that the mysterious third language was not Syriac as originally thought but the Demotic mentioned in classical sources. At first they tried copying it by hand but it proved too intricate. Then they just smeared ink on the front and then pressed it with paper like it was a printing press. It worked ! All the while the French army hauled the stone around even to battlefields unwilling to leave it unguarded. Prints of the inscription had already reached Paris which was good because the Rosetta Stone could not be transported there.
in 1801 General Menou, now in charge of the Expedition, signed a surrender agreement with the British and the Ottomans and one of the provisions was that all of the artifacts retrieved during the French expedition to Egypt were now Spoils of War and the personal property of King George III, especially the Rosetta Stone. In fact, the British were so pleased with its acquisition that they actually painted on the side "captured in Egypt by the British Army in 1801".

As the men tore down a wall that had been built using the detritus of nearby ancient Egyptian sites, they discovered a large stone fragment covered in three types of writing, including ancient Greek.
<center> History of discovery of Rosetta Stone
</center>(...on July 15, 1799, during Napoleon Bonaparte’s Egyptian campaign, a French soldier Pierre Bouchard discovered a black basalt slab inscribed with ancient writing near the town of Rosetta, about 35 miles east of Alexandria. The irregularly shaped stone contained fragments of passages written in three different scripts: Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphics and Egyptian demotic. The ancient Greek on the Rosetta Stone told archaeologists that it was inscribed by priests honoring the king of Egypt, Ptolemy V, in the second century B.C. More startlingly, the Greek passage announced that the three scripts were all of identical meaning. The artifact thus held the key to solving the riddle of hieroglyphics, a written language that had been “dead” for nearly 2,000 years.) For rest of the article click Rosetta Stone Found

- SRG comment
- wow! One human lifetime might encompass a million generations of bacteria!
- meme- our gut is an evolutionary lab for bacteria!
-
For many if not all members of the human microbial fauna, generation times are measured in hours or even minutes. These short generation times, coupled with the large population sizes of many bacteria, effectively elide the boundary between ecological and evolutionary time
for - microbiome - blurs ecological and evolutionary time - due to short generation time of microfauna
-
In contrast to the traditional focus on the individual organism as the target of selection and the unit of evolution, the genetic information embodied by each of our microbiomes may itself be the target for and the product of the evolutionary process.
for - unpack - microbiome as the target for / product of evolution
-
The collective microbial genome in our gut may include 100-fold more genetic information than what can be found in our own eukaryotic cells.
for - trivia - microbiome - 100x more genetic information here than our other body cells -meme - most of the genetic information inside you is not really you

nstead, such perturbed ecosystems may settle on a new composition that includes different species, many of them resistant to antibiotic treatment.

we used a number of different proxies at 12 different sites, and they all recorded very clearly the effects of the great acceleration.

The input file contains 1000 boxes. If I connect together 1000 (or as few as 999) pairs following the procedure described above, I end up with one circuit connecting all boxes.
I should actually count the connection within components towards the total of 1000.

Intertwined with its concern over ethnicity and religion, the Orange Order presented an ideal of nationalism that differed from the conceptions being presented by other competing forces in Canada. While other Canadian thinkers of the early-twentieth century began to conceive of the Canadian nation as part of a North American tradition, along with the United States, or as a “northern nation” that, through the crucible of Arctic winters, broke with both the United States and Europe, the Orange Order celebrated Canada’s past and highlighted the accomplishments of the British in North America. As the Order saw it, the devotion of the Loyalists and the rise of an Anglophone hegemony in North America were foundational to Canada’s existence, and both owed their authority to British identity. Indeed, as Scott See points out with regard to the Orange Order’s Loyalism of the nineteenth century, The Orange Order served as a form of connective tissue to link the Old World with the New. It was a complex blend of full-throated dedication to the Empire and unswerving support for Britain’s imperial endeavors, as well as an indigenous pronouncement of colonial identity in North America that applauded the British connection, yet strove to articulate a distinct identity of Britishness. (See Citation2014, 182)

(See Citation2014, 182)"
SPECIFIC BRITISH IDENTITY -> EMPHASIZES THIS AS OPPOSED TO NORTH AMERICAN IDENTITY CURRENTS LIKE AMERICANISM
Flag is connection between Canadians and the British Empire. Again, empty identity though. " “the Flag of our Empire, upon which the sun never sets is the outward and visible emblem of our loyalty to the great British Commonwealth, of which Canada is an integral part” (“Forms” Citation1937). This strain of thought resembled the ideas of imperialists like Stephen Leacock, who before World War I had advocated for greater Canadian participation in British imperial ventures as a means of sharing in the military victories won overseas and the spread of Anglo-Saxon civilization."
Tags
- IMPERIALIST AS OPPOSED TO COLONIAL -> Kinda what like Pickles said about agitating for Canada's role in Empire
- "Leacock claimed that he was “an Imperialist because I will not be a Colonial. This Colonial status is a worn-out, by-gone thing. The sense and feeling of it has become harmful to us. It limits the ideas, and circumscribes the patriotism of our people” (Leacock Citation2002, 109). The Orange Order’s growing faith in Canada’s importance to Britain in many ways reflected this imperial vision of Canada."
- Resist Canadian flag efforts because they want to RETAIN ties to UK.
- AND YET -> no discussion of CONSTRUCTION of this identity. Simply says its british and Protestant.

"Verily" means a matter of truth. In this line, Guenevere is asserting her honestly to Sir Gauwaine, yet he still continues to doubt his queen's statement. Afterword, Guenevere's tone has then shifted from firm and confident to resigned.
-
All good knights held it after, saw: Yea, sirs, by cursed unknightly outrage; though You, Gauwaine, held his word without a flaw, This Mellyagraunce saw blood upon my bed: Whose blood then pray you? is there any law To make a queen say why some spots of red
This refers to the mannerisms and politeness that men in the Victorian era must uphold towards women. Victorian men must be pleasant and pleased women; however, at this scene, Morris uses Sir Guawaine and Mellyagraunce as a contrast to that ideal. https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/427127

For, all day, we drag our burden tiring, Through the coal-dark, underground —
This article has photos of the book, the poem, and images from the survey of children working in mines relating to "Cry of The Children".
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YdWLxoHYR1E
This video shows how close, cramp, and claustrophobic the mines would be. Also, the ground is sometimes lined with rails, other times consists purely of mud and even imbedded with large rocks. This little clip is an attempt to let the readers see the harsh conditions the children working in mines had to deal with daily.
Elizabeth Browning was friends and frequent correspondent with Richard Hengist Horne. RH Horne was the assistant commissioner to an inquiry that reported the "Physical & Moral Conditions of the Children and Young Persons Employed in Mines and Manufacture." The horrific conditions that Horne related to EBB spurred her to write "Cry of the Children" (Robertson).

The young lambs are bleating in the meadows ; The young birds are chirping in the nest; The young fawns are playing with the shadows; The young flowers are blowing toward the west— But the young, young children, O my brothers, They are weeping bitterly!
The deliberate refrain of "young" nature and the emphasized double "young, young children" point out the irony and tragedy of how life shouldn't be for these children. While nature frolic and play, the human children are weeping bitterly. In fact, some poems in the Victorian period use this juxtaposition of the free natural world versus the state of the oppressive poor. Thomas Hood's "Song of the Shirt" has these lines: "Oh! but to breathe the breath Of the cowslip and primrose sweet--- With the sky above my head, And the grass beneath my feet". Gerald Massey wrote in "Cry of the Unemployed": "Heaven droppeth down with manna still in many a golden shower, And feeds the leaves with fragrant breath, with silver dew, the flower; There's honeyed fruit for bee and bird, with bloom laughs out the tree". Nature is plentiful, beautiful, and free while humans suffer from hunger and fetters of their working class.

They are leaning their young heads against their mothers, —
Although the working class had very little of worldly goods, its family unit was quite close. One main reason was they had to share a small space as living quarters. Another reason was children often working alongside their parents. All the children were viewed as a potential source of income so the family strived together as a unit to make ends meet. The close knit working class family was a sharp contrast to the wealthy Victorians. Usually their children were left in care of nannies or governesses. The higher echelon of society had little time to spare for their kids yet had high expectations of them. Even Winston Churchill said he could recall every hug he ever had from his mother.
The difference between the classes here is not immediately discernible for modern readers with just the line describing children leaning on their mothers. In Victorian England, the rich and middle-class did not handle their own children.

Royal KMM basic introduction
Looks like a post-war standard Royal KMM, sometimes best known as the machine used by Jessica Fletcher in the TV show Murder She Wrote (as well as the upcoming Jamie Lee Curtis reboot.)
Richard Polt has you covered for the manual and some repair manuals/information.
Some contemporaneous videos on use and maintenance may help.
As for ribbon replacement, try this video. The spools for the standard Royal typewriters (Ten, H, KH, KHM, KMM, KMG, RP, HH, FP, Empress, 440, 660, etc.) have a custom metal mechanism for their auto-reverse. The spools are known as the T1 (which is the same as General Ribbon part # T1-77B , T1-77BR, and Nu-Kote B64.) If winding on 1/2 inch wide universal ribbon onto them, remove the eyelette which isn't needed and may interfere with the auto reverse. If necessary, Ribbons Unlimited carries these spools or you can get them (and ribbon) from a local typewriter repair shop.
Ribbon purveyors: https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-faq.html#q1. I prefer Baco and Fine Line for their spectacular pricing and quality.

The dissimilarities between the girls' fanfics and English language arts practice essays might have offered an interesting entry point for discussion about how different communicative contexts can narrow the range of Available Designs to draw on.
Creative writing can be incredibly important for self-expression and emotional intelligence. Without properly exploring different ways to write creatively, students may struggle to properly express such things.
-
Instead of writing Eileen and Rhiannon's texts off as derivative, we began to see them as contributions to an ongoing, intertextual conversation about such issues as friendship, loyalty, power, and sexuality.
-
At times, however, it appears that both gifts could have benefited from the assistance that contact with their teachers or classmates might have provided.
-
We hope that insights about out-of-school literacy practices that deeply absorb adolescents may help us devise new ways to make school literacy more meaningful and engaging.
More studies into modern adolescent literacy practices can lead to higher engagement and appreciation within literary contexts and motivate students to properly and effectively apply the knowledge they gain inside and outside of academic spaces.
-
As a form, fanfictions make intertextuality visible because they rely on readers' ability to see relationships between the fan-writer's stories and the original media sources.
What many people who brush fan fiction off as irrelevant tend to ignore is the vast understanding of a pre-existing setting needed to contextualize the writings made, as well as the effort and organization required to properly build off of such settings.
-
What they were less likely to say explicitly, but what seemed clear to us, was that fanfiction writing also helped to develop and solidify relationships with various friends, online or otherwise.
Writing, for many, tends to be most rewarding when you can share it with someone. To show others your ability to express thoughts, emotions, and ideas through your use of language is helpful in gaining confidence and experience, and this is even more true when you receive direct criticism as well.
-
Rhiannon herself showed ambivalence about bringing her personal writing into school when we asked if she had ever shown her stories to one of her teachers: "[No, and] I don't think I'd want her to read them anyway," she replied, "because they're in a fashion that she probably wouldn't understand even if I tried to explain it to her. I just think that she isn't open-minded."
-
fanfictions could be included in the range of texts teachers consider for diagnostic purposes in order to get a sense of what individuals can do as readers and writers, as well as what they value.
-
While the counters on these sites indicate that they did not receive many visits, Rhiannon did report that they were visited by friends she met online who lived as far away as North Carolina and New Mexico in the United States.
-
Writing was seen as a way to have fun, exercise one's imagination, and avoid boredom.

What is surprising, however, is the scarcity of research that examines the potential of new tools for showing and telling in the school curriculum.
See Adolescents' Anime Inspired "Fanfiction" for more in depth explanation. Much of the current school curriculum does not include more creative, personal subject matter, which has the possibility to make students feel less interested in class.
-
new tools for working with various modes of communication are producing a change in the way that young people are choosing to construct meaningful texts for themselves and others in their affinity spaces.
As more young people spend more time online, they are developing new ways to express themselves linguistically.
-
I propose that young people's engagement with these kinds of ideological messages and materials is central to their becoming the critical readers and writers we say we value.
-
When school work is deemed relevant and worthwhile, when opportunities exist for students to reinvent themselves as competent learners (even rewrite their social identities), then literacy instruction is both possible and welcomed.
-
Content area teachers and teacher educators who are open to considering the implications of this finding could incorporate into their regular class assignments opportunities for students to integrate subject matter texts with available online texts.
-
Because many young people growing up in a digital world will find their own reasons for becoming literate--reasons that go beyond reading and writing to acquire academic knowledge-it is important to remain open to changes in subject matter learning that will invite and extend the literacy practices they already possess and value.
-
In sum, these young people's penchant for creating online content that was easily distributed and used by others with similar interests was facilitated in part by their ability to remix multimodal texts, use new tools to show and tell, and rewrite their social identities.
