I am a little bit unsure about this? How does work Edward Said fit into this asymmetry? In my understanding, criticizing a western imagination of the orient should challenge an euro-centric worldview? Is it problematic because such criticisms are situated in binaries (such as the east and the west), and overlooks multidimensional dynamics during the intercations?

I found the descriptions/explanations of asymmetry so far a bit confusing...Is it an asymmetry in power? Or it could be understood as difference in a given aspect measured by a hierarchical system? This also reminds me of how Axel Michaels explained that hybridity could simultaneously describe the oppressing and the oppressed, between which an asymmetry exists. (p.4)

Is methodological transculturality a means or discovering hidden transculturality?

I found this particularly interesting since when in junior and senior high school, we learned about the Enlightenment as something extremely positive and great in unprecedented ways?

Though this might seem to be an obvious question, I've been wondering what are the motivations/contexts of imagining cultures/nations within clearly defined borders in the first place. Is it because, as stated here, that such enclosed model used to be popular in history? Or is it a reaction to threat perceived upon realizing new differences?

I'm interested in what the term "cultural memory" describes! What are some examples? Are aforementioned institutions such as marriage, family, death, god examples? Or it describes something more specific? How is cultural memory formed?

The same way the music teacher in Liverpool who had half of The Beatles in his elementary school music class knew they had music potential—you can't possibly.

Potential is by definition the unknown part. The rest of it is interest, desire, enthusiasm, and time working at the thing itself over long periods which slowly unleashes that potential. You don't know until you try, so quit worrying about it and enjoy the area, even if it's just as a hobby you do on the side. There are garage bands that hustle on the side, why can't you be a garage mathematician?!?

Most of the smart, talented university professors in mathematics are there because they had the passion and (often had the luxury to) spend the time. Nurture your own passions and those of your students and encourage them to spend the time.

How many parents unabashedly encourage their kids to become international superstar musicians? I'll bet The Beatles' parents didn't. I'll also bet that number is close to the numbers of parents who encourage their kids to do the same thing in math.

Peterson criticises Eckhart Tolle in one of his videos, mistaking him to be a humanist (he is more of a mystic, though...). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEnQ78FkdaE

Funnily enough, Eckhart did mention the humanist movement, in one of his videos. He related this to a period of more awareness and awakening that was brought to the masses.

A very limited intention - just to maximise apporoval What abotu to access the quantum potential?

The additional "hidden context" is that the rachet/gear seen in many of these diagrams is usually attached to a radial spring (or some other device) which, as it is wound, stores energy which is later used by the bigger device in which the rachet and pawl are encased. Examples include the stem of watches, which when wound, store energy which the watch later uses to run as it counts the seconds. Another example is the mainspring of a typewriter which is attached to a ratchet/pawl set up; when you push the carriage to the right, the spring gets wound up and stores energy which is slowly expended by the escapement a space or a letter at a time as you type. In the zettelkasten analogy, the box and numbered cards placed in it act as the pawl (the wedge that prevents backward movement), as you add more and more information, you're storing/building up "potential energy" in small bits. This "stored energy" can be spent at a later time by allowing you to more easily write an article, paper, book, etc. In some sense, the zettelkasten (as most tools do) allows you a "mechanical advantage" in the writing process over trying to remember everything you've ever read and then relying on your ability to spit it all back out in a well-ordered manner.

  • what is interesting is that there is strong emphasis on Buddhist and other contemplative teachings on acceptance of the present state and cessation of searching.
  • In Buddhist teachings, desire is an expression of a dissatisfaction of some aspect of the present and drives change
  • and last but perhaps most importantly, Buddhist teachings teach that the source of the desire is indicative of attachment to the constructed self narrative
  • hence, at first read, it would seem the goal-oriented nature of the definition is at odds with Buddhist teachings.
  • David Loy refers to desires as a way to fulfill something we feel is missing. He refers to this as a "Lack project"
    • When we feel incomplete, we are motivated to strive towards those things that we perceive to make us feel more complete. This is also referred to in some branches of Buddhism as poverty mentality: https://jonudell.info/h/facet/?max=100&expanded=true&user=stopresetgo&exactTagSearch=true&any=poverty+mentality
  • If we penetrate the self construct and see it's constructed, provisional nature, then we also expose the greater already existent reality that we already are.
  • It seems paradoxical. While we are strongly reifying the self-construct, we will be goal-seeking and a priority goal may be to experience the self as a construct, which has the effect of ending root level goal seeking.

Thesis to bear out (only tangentially related to this particular text):

Part of the reason that index card files didn't catch on, especially in America, was that they didn't have a solid/concrete name by which they went. The generic term card index subsumed so much in relation to library card catalogues or rolodexes which had very specific functions and individualized names. Other cultures had more descriptive names like zettelkasten or fichier boîte which, while potentially bland within their languages, had more specific names for what they were.

More effective than what? Just highlighting? What does Ahmad show? Is there a hierarchy of strategies that have been cross tested with larger groups? What effect does a depth and breadth of neurodiverse subjects show, for example?

This is the my first encounter with REAP.

REAP is an acronym for Read, Encode, Annotate, Ponder.

Has anyone done direct research on commonplacing or zettelkasten techniques to show concrete data to compare them with other currently more popular techniques like Cornell notes or REAP?

The key word is 'a potential turf war' with regards to which path to channel the funding versus funding an instrument DOE that has existed and produced efficiently over 60 years. With over $17 billion already redirected to the Department of Energy National labs, the country is set to improve upon its sector and at the end of the day, more concerns should be based on what America is benefiting from institution it pours funding in, not necessarily a turf war in innovations, that it has to ignore sectors like the DOE that produces or discovers something that benefit the regular American on a daily basis.

One thing is certain thought, that the time of waking up is probably more a function of the individual person. How you spend your time is another consideration.

A frustrated parent, Rathburn retaliate by confronting her son's bully and later got arrested. Many parent can understand Rathburn and may also feel they would have done the same. The natural instinct of protect their own. Still she hope to create a new policy or program that better handle these incidents before parent's retaliate.

A few states have resorted to fining parents of bullies in hope to encourage their kids to stop bullying. Many may agree, but it also raise the question of how effective is it?

"I have, in the following little volume, collected a few of these, the Love-Songs of a single province merely, which I either took down in each county of Connacht from the lips of the Irish-speaking peasantry - a class which is disappearing with most alarming rapidity - or extracted from MSS, in my own possession, or from some lent to me, made by different scribes during this century, or which I came upon while examining the piles of modern manuscript Gaelic literature that have found their last resting-place on the shelves of the Royal Irish Academy." (iv)

The way Hyde makes reference to sources is casual and non-specific. It would be difficult for a reader to access his sources. Because we have such little insight, it is important to be alert to potential biases in the collecting and editing process.

If we can identify consistencies among the anthologized songs in terms of their depiction of love and lovers, and/or among songs which are excluded from the anthology, we will have reason to regard the very partial disclosure of sources with suspicion.

As I have already noted, part of Hyde’s project is to bring the reader into contact with language which has an ‘unbounded’ power to excite the Irish Muse. Perhaps part of the way he contrives this encounter is to control the kind of subject matter that will appear to the reader as that which occurs most naturally in the Irish language.

In this passage the author is allowing his intended audience, people who are curious in transhumanism, a glimpse into the future when technology merges with the human body. At this point one must question at what point does technology becomes a prosthesis? The author uses this imagery of technology merging with our body to form prosthesis, devices that function as a artificial body part, to suggest that technology at one point may be an extension of the human body. This extension of the human body supports his trans humanist ideas because it may allow a person to reach beyond their human potential.
