What is School For?
zhlédnutí 194Před 2 lety
In a conversation led by Academy Fellows Jenna Alden and Daniel Freund, we will consider why we have schools, whom they serve, how to teach the history of education, and how that history promotes a fuller understanding of the nation’s past, including our tortured entanglements of race, class, gender, and power.

    You're reading a poem you've never seen before, and the first line grabs you. Cover the rest with postits and learn that line by heart. Repeat it to yourself, often, The next day, recall it (if you can, if not revise) then uncover the second line and learn that in the same way. Then make sure you know those first 2 lines. Carry on like this to the end. You will have made a journey mimicking that of the poet. I've learned nearly 100 poems like this - it's extremely enriching, and fun!

    Hi Peter, it might help to understand first that the property of spin is derived only from measuring the direction of the magnetic field of the electron, the device used to measure the direction of the magnetic field will only tell us the direction in which the field is pointing relative to the detector itself, this however is not to say that electrons can cancel each other out but rather that each individual electron has a 50% probability of being detected with the magnetic field in the UP direction and conversely a 50% probability of having the magnetic field be detected as pointing in the DOWN direction. Essentially they all spin the same way but they can all be in any position they want, including upside-down. In short, when measuring vertically the electron will be detected to be spinning in the vertical plane up or down. Same applies for the horizontal configuration where the electron may spin left or right.

    I saw and read the play recently for the first time - I’m 64 - it’s amazing! (late review) it’s about jealousy and race, sure, but what struck me most strongly is how obviously it is a play about male violence against women. (I’m a man.) That’s not even my contemporary take, it just seems obvious.

    this is excellent....but completely wrong about Shakespeare NOT knowing the next lines, or any writer....in that they can often be finished in your head before you grab a pen; there are many instances of this almost automatic writing or spontaneous expression

    One of my favorites; however, he once used the term "Beatnik" in something he wrote, but never used that name which was made popular by Maynard G. Grebbs on the tv show: "The Many Loves of Doby Gillis." back in the 60's. Kerouac once stated that the word "Beat" -which we former Beats preferred - signified Beatitudes, but with the life style of that group...well I sorta doubt that definition applies.

    Thomas Sowell has been writing for half a century on topics of colonialism, migrations, cultures, race, social justice fallacies from a deep, global perspective, and should be required reading for those masquerading as intellectuals and educators for a truthful assessment. Most often, rather than being wholly bad or destructive, good or constructive, events and processes throughout history are more properly seen as trade-offs, with negative aspects balanced by some beneficial ones as well. Conflating social justice, trans-ideology, colonialism, with the environmental catastrophe of the last 300 years of Industrial Society evades the broader view. Every human being on this planet who wears clothing, eats food, uses products that are produced thousands of miles away and transported to their locality is complicit in the degradation of the biosphere. Using electronic devices like cell phones, computers, electric vehicles all carry the burden of production utilizing materials hazardous to the environment. There is a cost to the production of any good or service used by humans for their entertainment, education, comfort, and subsistence. Growth is non-sustainable. Energy production has an ultimate cost and is not clean or free. Blaming European imperialists and colonizers of previous centuries is like viewing slavery as a strictly Euro-American occurrence. There are 1,000,000 net, new Homo sapiens added to this planet q 4.5 days (the population of London every 45 days). Fished-out oceans with continent-sized masses of plastic, colossal overuse of pesticide, bio-engineered mono-crops owned by only a few mega-corporations and susceptible to global fungal blight. Despeciation and deforestation are at an alarming rate with populations of insects, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds decreasing precipitously in most areas. Cultivated lands and prairie that look to be "natural" are actually sterile land regions devoid of the life they teemed with fifty years ago. We already cruelly-treat, and slaughter a few billion sentient animals every year to feed fat human faces. We're speeding along with AI refinement which is being weaponized as we speak--and so as resources like fresh water aquifers, food, energy are depleted, conflict and war are a certainty--with AI and unmanned vehicle attacks greatly escalating the danger. . So sitting in cushy offices, defining your pronouns, expounding on colonialism that led to the development of many of the creature comforts you're now enjoying---seems a bit absurd, and hypocritical. But more on that, later.

It's a sad turn in the culture of spoken language in the US, and worth working on to be more eloquent and sensitive in our use of words.

    In writing a series of haiku's, I wrote this poem, with the visual, being in the mountain,s on a hike. (The mountain hike) - On, the path above, The mountain exposed, The light of heaven!,We walked.-In, the crater lake, The eye of the world, shown blue. And, fish swam their too !-Tree's of fur, tall, green. Touched, the cloud's with mist and dew, The sun shown bright smiles. - The Hiker's, loved this day. Heavy packs, tired feet, sore backs. Camped, in the ravine! - Fire danced, warmed are souls, Tired , after the climb stretched, and, reclined, on boughs pine. -Waking, to the sound, Owl, hooted in the stark night, Morning trail blazed, On. 😊😊😊

    Thank you for sharing your insights into this topic. I have a follow up question that I would like you to answer if you get a chance. Is there any academic studies that I could rely on to set up a theoretical-art critical basis for activist art since the social turn? I'm asking you for help because I haven't found any art expert or art critic trying to define and justify activist art as a set of artistic practices with their own aesthetic criteria and concerns in the first place. It seems very unclear to me how activist art is characteristically distinguished from other contemporary artistic practices which employ pretty much the same strategies and media on one hand and cultural activism in general on the other. Based on what I've observed, even activist artists themselves pay little attention to theorizing what they're practicing. 'Social change' they wish to bring about by means of 'instrumentalizing art' is such a big and vague concept that it doesn't make any sense in a theoretical sense.
