Makers & Takers: More of the Long Con

A lot of my “everyday” existential philosophizing takes the form of asking people to be aware of the Long Con or the Big Sting… that is where you become your own mark in the long con game of bad faith or pseudo-authenticity. This is “wising up the mark.” While all…

TechnoScience & the New Pedagogy

In the past, the suggestion of getting a college degree without ever cracking a book meant paying a degree mill. It meant the degree was in name only, reflecting neither learning nor effort. Then distance learning meant correspondence courses, perhaps combined with some coordinated telecasts. Technology has already changed all…

Using a Compass Now vs. an Outdated Map from Before

One of my good friends, Andrew Wicklander, runs his own project management group and software company. His wife, Maile, owns a yoga studio. They are both the sort of “job-creators” touted as crucial to the success of America. Andrew says that when he and Maile are hiring, they do not…

How Computerized Tutors Are Learning to Teach Humans – NYTimes.com

Killing the Liberal Arts… A Non-Conservation

The importance of the humanities in educating citizens is why we have undoubtedly seen the consequences of the decline in of the liberal arts nowhere more than in the quality of the public debate. The disappearance of the liberal arts from American education has meant the disappearance of the liberal…

The Corporate Capitalist Gamble: American’s will “venture” for Mitt

Romney’s suggestion that only business owners should occupy the White House was hardly surprising; it just reinforced the reverence for builders of small businesses manifested in the Republican gathering in Tampa. But it is a curious claim nonetheless. For most of the nation’s history, lawyers, educators and military men have…

An Empty Chair, Dirty Harry, and Moses

I watched what little bit of Clint Eastwood’s RNC improv that I could. I was incredibly embarrassed for the man. As Obama says, a good actor & a great director. But also kind of a weird choice to be introducing Mitt Romney who has such a gap between him and his…

Before I Die…

It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what really matters to you. When Candy lost someone she loved very much, she thought about death a lot. This helped clarify her life but she struggled to maintain perspective. She wanted to know what was important to the…

Folk of the Ether… Your Must-Do Assignment

All war is struggle, but not all struggle is war. Humans live on a boundary of many struggles. When we reduce every struggle to combat, battle, or war, we lay waste vast fields of human experience to unnecessary destruction. Study the chart, read the article, and pass it along. Understand…
