    1. 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)

      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."

    1. Among the numerous points that resonated for us in the framework was the authors' contention that schools and other dominant institutions have historically privileged language, particularly written literacy, over all other modes of communication, thereby neglecting the possibilities of those other modes.

      Literary studies are predominantly focused in non-fiction works or other subjects based heavily in reality. To break away from this promotes creativity and can help those with more imaginative minds to flourish in a setting where they may otherwise struggle.

    2. 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."
    1. audience appeal (e.g., having a space in which to affiliate with others who share interests or goals) and time for in-depth discussions around a finished text (perhaps one that was collaboratively authored) are the main factors in young people's decisions to create content destined for informal sharing after school.

      A shared personal interest and connection increases engagement, regardless of what sort of environment the conversation takes place in. It just so happens that online spaces are the easiest environments to express such interest and make such connections.

    1. Ask anyone and they will tell you that helping children develop self-control is anenormous challenge and responsibility.

      I totally agree - it's a very tall order. Teaching children self control in a classroom is very different from teaching children when you are babysitting or teaching your own children. I do believe that because I do not ye have children, the techniques I am learning to be effective will also change the way I parent. But this skill is very hard to teach in a positive way.

    1. TLDR: When working with LLMs, the risks for the L&D workflow and its impact on substantive learning are real:Hallucination — LLMs invent plausible-sounding facts that aren’t trueDrift — LLM outputs wander from your brief without clear constraintsGeneric-ness — LLMs surface that which is most common, leading to homogenisation and standardisation of “mediocre”Mixed pedagogical quality — LLMs do not produce outputs which are guaranteed to follow evidence-based practiceMis-calibrated trust — LLMs invite us to read guesswork as dependable, factual knowledge These aren’t edge cases or occasional glitches—they’re inherent to how AI / all LLMs function. Prediction machines can’t verify truth. Pattern-matching can’t guarantee validity. Statistical likelihood doesn’t equal quality.

      Real inherent issue using AI for learning.

    2. AI’s instructional design “expertise” is essentially a statistical blend of everything ever written about learning—expert and amateur, evidence-based and anecdotal, current and outdated. Without a structured approach, you’re gambling on which patterns the model draws from, with no guarantee of pedagogical validity or factual accuracy.

      You are not like high school students, - who are using their writing to - introduce themselves to some something at a fairly basic level.

    2. ChatGPT makes writing easier and more of a cleaner look, especially for people who aren’t native English speakers. But it also makes people worry and start thinking to themselves like “Is this really my work?” or “Am I cheating?” It can be helpful, but also very stressful to one.

    1. “Our students are coming into school every day with greater needs in every aspect of their lives, including around their mental health. But the support just isn’t there to help teachers and staff,” said Bissegger.

      I found this very interesting because this is why educators need their admin to support them. If they are expected to juggle all the different parts of teaching then the support has got to be there. In many other articles I have read, I have heard that teachers feel unsupported and it begins to be a lot. It is okay that students come into school every day with greater needs, but if we need to help them, then someone has to help us.

    1. I'm using this logic as as to build spacetime. But I think it's going to give an even more powerful approach. I don't have to minimize some free energy principle. I I have a more direct computational way

      for - future project - building a model to explain spacetime using Active Inference - Donald Hoffman - use Active Inference to minimise surprise using Markov chains - this model assumes consciousness is fundamental - this is going to be a model of intelligence based entirely from a model which takes consciousness as fundamental. - it goes back to game theory again. - back to the idea of a simulation - If you're able to create a piece of software that - is able to replicate and - is built on the fundamentals of consciousness. - Then it's potentially, it's going to think it's conscious

    2. the answer is you can know it, but but you know it when you let go of all concepts and you don't try. If you're trying to get there, then you don't see what you already are.

    3. The reason to love your neighbor as yourself is because your neighbor is yourself just with a different headset.

      for - key insight / quote - the reason to love your neighbor - Donald Hoffman - The reason to love your neighbor as yourself is because - your neighbor IS YOUR (TRUE) SELF, just with a different headset. - And the only reason we have problems is - we don't realize how incredible you are. - So you are that which is creating this VR simulation with all of its beauty, all of its complexity. - All the complexity is you and you're doing it effortlessly.

      adjacency - infinite intelligence - hologram metaphor - your neighbor is your (true) self - Deep Humanity motto - Join together (instead of Join us) - face behind the mask - Reflecting on this, it occurred to me that the Deep Humanity motto of "Join together, NOT join me/us" is deeply connected to what is being discussed in this annotation. - The problem with "joining me" is that it reflects we are still stuck in the ego reification paradigm while "join together" reflects awareness that the boundless intelligence is the true face behind the mask of each different species and each different individual of each species

    4. if you want to understand the truth of who you are beyond just this headset description of you then you have to lay aside all concepts period and just know yourself by being yourself not by putting a concept between you and yourself.

    5. Darwin's theory says the probability is zero that any sensory system like eyes, ears, smell, touch, taste has ever been shaped to see any aspect of objective reality truly. So the probability is zero that you see any aspect of the truth. Period.

    1. This paper’s authors argue that using GWP to assess the relative planetary warming  caused by various different sectors is therefore a deeply flawed metric. They propose that a better measure for policymakers to adopt would be something  called Effective Radiative Forcing, or ERF.

    1. In other words: it comes down to lack of agency. When we care about something, but we perceive futility in our efforts to change it, our only resort is to lash out.

    1. Peer-to-peer networks gained widespread popularity in the late 1990s with several file-sharing services, such as Napster and Gnutella, that enabled peers to exchange files with one another. The Napster system used an approach similar to the first type described above: a centralized server maintained an index of all files stored on peer nodes in the Napster network, and the actual exchange of files took place between the peer nodes. The Gnutella system used a technique similar to the second type: a client broadcast file requests to other nodes in the system, and nodes that could service the request responded directly to the client. Peer-to-peer networks can be used to exchange copyrigh

      Peer-to-peer computing is a network model where each computer, called a peer, can share and access resources directly with other peers without depending on a central server. Unlike the client server model, where a server provides services to clients, in P2P all peers have equal roles they can both request and provide data. This makes P2P useful for file sharing, online collaboration, and even cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. In simple words, it works like friends exchanging books directly instead of always going to a library.

    1. For several generations, stories from Africa have traditionally been passed down by word of mouth. Often, after a hard day’s work, the adults would gather the children together by moonlight, around a village fire and tell stories

      The Same can be said around the world and across different periods of time across human development. Present day, Communities can connect threw the aid of technological advances.

    1. Vorschlag

      Q

      Ja aber das muss dann bei effect size angepasst werden (zB Dummies müssen dann bei Effektgröße auf 0/1 gleich sein (zB employed/not employed), etc., wichtig für Vergleichbarkeit.

    2. Vorschlag

      Q

      Ja aber das muss dann bei effect size angepasst werden (zB Dummies müssen dann bei Effektgröße auf 0/1 gleich sein (zB employed/not employed), etc., wichtig für Vergleichbarkeit.

    3. Vorschlag

      Q

      Hier eventuell auch (oder robustness): OLS vs Rest in Regression, oder anderes. Diskutieren, SUR kann SUR sein, Tobit ist Tobit, Oder man kann probit/logit/tobit auch zusammenfassen. Maximum Likelihood Method ist MLM

    4. Vorschlag

      Q

      Ja hier eventuell DiD/RDD/ähnliche zusammenfasen. Hir müssen wir aber diskutieren ob wir hier auf Kausalität, Endogenität, etc abzielen – analog diskutieren wie zu WL-PL Paper.

      Ganz wichtig: DiD in spirit vs. DiD richtig (würde in spirit nicht zu DiD tun)

    5. Vorschlag

      Q

      Nein, das macht nicht wirklich Sinn, hier geht es nur um die Zusammensetzung im Sample, nicht darum für was kontrolliert wurde. Hier zB manufacturing (1) vs. Rest (0) oder andere Einteilung.

    6. Vorschlag

      Q

      Nein, das macht nicht wirklich Sinn, hier geht es nur um die Zusammensetzung im Sample, nicht darum für was kontrolliert wurde. In dem Fall eventuell Information zu blue collar/white collar/Arbeiter/Angestellte falls vorhanden kodieren in 0, 1, etc.

    7. Vorschlag

      Q

      Nein, das macht nicht wirklich Sinn, hier geht es nur um die Zusammensetzung im Sample, nicht darum für was kontrolliert wurde. Diskutieren (z.B. nur low income workers von einer Studie)

    8. Vorschlag

      Q

      Nein, das macht nicht wirklich Sinn, hier geht es nur um die Zusammensetzung im Sample, nicht darum für was kontrolliert wurde. Variable eventuell aus Regression draußen lassen (und argumentieren, dass die meisten eh working age oder sowas sind).
