    1. CBOR, MessagePack, arbitrary text, or otherwise.

      I presume these need to have an ID field/location in the data schema. Like ACDC has the 'd' for the ID. Right?

    2. To understand how SAIDs work

      Little confused... this is telling me about how "SAIDs" work... I thought I already learned that... the #1 below seems very CESR related... are SAIDs and CESR tightly coupled? or are they independent concepts? Making an ID with an eye toward how it will be serialized seems... unnecessarily coupled.

    3. ‘d’

      This is Neither a SAID thing nor a CESR thing right? In this context - this is an input data thing. 'd' is for an ACDC, right? Are SAIDs also coupled to ACDCs? Perhaps the implication is that whatever data container you use.. in this case ACDC, there will be an ID field/location. This algorithm is used for the specific data container - wherever it has the ID. Right?

    4. 24 bit boundaries, pad characters, and pad bytes.

      Yes, this all sounds like CESR things I have heard. Again... feels very thrust upon me, with no understanding of CESR. I do understand that you are trying to just "get to the point" quickly, so I can/should glaze over some of these unknowns.

    5. pre-padding

      This pre-padding concepts seems to have been thrust uponme with no warning... What is this?

Augmented e-books make use of hyperlinks (both within and outside the browsed documents), create popup windows, play videos and sounds, might include interactive or live graphs, and even change according to user interaction (either through individual choices or according to a community’s practice).

      Pourrait-on les qualifier de littérature ergodique d'après la définition qu'en fait Aspen J. Aarseth (soit une littérature dans laquelle « un effort non-trivial est requis pour permettre au lecteur de traverser le texte » (Cybertext. Perspectives on Ergodic Literature, 1997, p. 2)) ?

    2. According to McLuhan, the hybridization of media produces new media, as media have a generative effect on each other.

      Jürgen Müller s'est-il basé là-dessus pour développer sa pensée sur l'intermédialité ?

    3. It is necessary that these teams integrate more tech in their staff, or even better, that publishers need to acquire the technical skills to manage or create publishing chains. A positive (or utopian) situation would be the creation of custom publishing chains by publishers by assembling free or open-source programs/software.

      Ainsi, de plus en plus l'éditeur devrait non seulement maîtriser le travail du texte, mais aussi potentiellement comprendre la technique derrière la publication d'un fichier électronique. Est-ce réaliste de s'attendre à ce que les éditeurs s'occupent de ce travail en plus du reste?

    1. image

      In the article “These new tools let you see for yourself how biased AI image models are,” Melissa Heikkilä, argues that AI-generating image systems are applying harmful biases and stereotypes. Despite the company's attempts to fix these issues, Heikkila's research with Hugging Face and Leipzig University has created a tool to bring to light these biases. The tool highlights biases and stereotypical images based on gender and ethnicity. Heikkila blames these biases on the training data used which reflects off of American culture/values. Overall, the article clarifies these AI challenges and emphasizes making the system less biased.

    1. Both biosphere boundaries

      for - question - earth system boundaries - biodiversity - how do we reconcile these boundaries with climate departure?

      question - earth system boundaries - biodiversity - how do we reconcile these boundaries with climate departure? - Does the term "functional integrity" imply autonomy from climate feedbacks? Obviously, climate feedback plays a huge role in determining biodiversity health - In 2013, Mora et al. found that climate departure, the year in which a climate variable moves out of the historical bounds will occur everywhere on the planet, regardless of an aggressive RCP pathway being taken. In this study, climate departure was found to take place (relative to 2013) - 37.5 years in the future under RCP45, or - 22.5 years in the future under RCP85 - It would seem that the biodiversity boundaries should take into consideration climate departure as species extinction and ecological system disruption is projected to occur, regardless of whether RCP45 or RCP85 is adopted. - Currently, we are still on a Business-As-Usual trajectory, but since 2013, scientific research has moved the danger threshold even lower so climate departure dates are likely even sooner than those calculated in the 2013 Mora paper

      to - Mora, C., Frazier, A., Longman, R. et al. (2013). The projected timing of climate departure from recent variability. Nature 502, 183–187. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature12540 - https://hyp.is/3wZrokX9Ee-XrSvMGWEN2g/www.nature.com/articles/nature12540 - Researchgate copy - https://hyp.is/go?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.researchgate.net%2Fpublication%2F257598710_The_projected_timing_of_climate_departure_from_recent_variability&group=world

    2. We capture the main components by identifying safe boundaries for two complementary and synthetic measures of biodiversity: the area of largely intact natural ecosystems, and the functional integrity of ecosystems heavily modified by human pressures.

      for - biodiversity - safe earth system boundaries - 2 measures - intact natural ecosystems - ecosystems modified by human pressures - question - quantification of biodiversity tipping points at various scales

      question - quantification of biodiversity tipping points at various scales - As ecologist David Suzuki often says, economy depends on ecology, not the other way around - Is there quantification at different potential tipping points for extinction for biodiversity at different scales and localities?

    1. So What?

      How can educators use Gen AI effectively where the information it gives us is actually true?

    2. So

      Is there a way where we can identify "hallucinations" and be able to report the false data?

    1. ext, using the same GenAI platform, prompt the GenAI to writelyrics for a song in the style of one of your favorite artists

      How do people really know to trust AI and its information when Wikipedia was trusted until there was information found?

    1. at least some of my audience sometimes misunderstand this position um they say well you know to express evil is also part of nature it's also part of the universal mind which is correct um but it is also part of you of the universal mind also part of nature to strive against evil to stop evil and sometimes forcefully if need be because you're not just going to wait for evil to come and barbarize your loved ones and violate truth left and right i think what this understand understanding calls for is not the complete cessation of the use of force when force is the last resort that we have at our at our hands what it calls for is the the end of the notion that the use of force is a form of vengeance

      for - question - nilhism - nondualism - is fighting evil a contradiction? - Rupert Spira - Bernado Kastrup - question - nilhism - how do we prevent falling into?

      question - nondualism - is fighting evil a contradiction? - Pondering this idea raises the question: - Is fighting evil a contradiction? - Do we fall into duality if we fight evil? - Does nonduality imply not creating categories of morality of good and evil? - This question has no answer because - If you understand the question, you are already - a language user - applying some morality - We are already post category and post linguistic - we can never undo this and get back to pre-category and pre-linguistic - Fighting evil cannot conquer it because - in fighting evil, this implies using (deadly) force - deadly force results in death, the most extreme form of suffering - It is tantamount to abuse and justifying death is the greatest act of separation, causing great suffering to the other - In effect, we have the same result as the abuser and this can create a new generation of abused

      question - nilhism - how do we prevent falling into? - Rather, what is needed is to PENETRATE moral relativism / dualism altogether to re-discover the common sacred ground both moral categories are based upon - The use of force as a form of vengeance - is the perpetuation of the abused-abuser cycle

    2. love is something completely different it has nothing to do with whether we like someone or not i would suggest love is the recognition of our shared being or our shared reality

      for - definition - love - as the recognition of our shared being - Rupert Spira - question - reconciling Rupert Spira's interpretation of the Eastern definition of "love" with the inherent suffering designed into nature

      question - reconciling Rupert Spira's interpretation of the Eastern definition of "love" with the inherent suffering designed into nature - Consider that every individual of every species must eat in order to survive and maintain life, - In other words, suffering is unavoidable in life itself, and exists at every scale of multi-scale competency architecture (Levin) - How do we reconcile this definition of "love" with the suffering inherent in all of life itself? - If we accept that the universal consciousness manifests in ALL living beings, then it is indeed a strange situation because: - reality itself evolved biotic out of abiotic reality and - it did so by creating intrinsic suffering as predators must kill, eat and cause suffering to its prey and - mortality is built into all living organism, bringing about constant innate anxiety to defend against death through innate alertness to and defense against predators

    1. So there has to be a reality, deeper reality, out of which these spacetime reality that we call reality emerges. So so therefore the model to think of the model in your following way, consciousness is a quantum field.

      for - quote - consciousness - model of - as a quantum field - Federico Faggin - question - about Federico Faggin's quantum field theory of consciousness - Is it neo-dualistic?

      quote - consciousness - model of - as a quantum field - Federico Faggin - (see below) - Think of the body as a structure in space and time - It is both - classical - cells are made of particles, atoms and molecules that interact quantumly in space and time - AND fields - The body is a bridge between consciousness and the classical (objective spacetime) world - The body reports to the conscious field - and creates quantum states inside the cell

      potential future dialogue - Michael Levin and Federico Faggin - To unpack quantum states at cellular or subcellular level, it would be good to see a dialogue between Michael Levin and Federico Faggin

    2. Now we understand why there has to be an inner reality which is made of qualia and an outer reality which is made a lot of symbols, shareable symbols, what we call matter.

      for - unpack - key insight - with the postulate of consciousness as the foundation, it makes sense that this is - an inner reality made of qualia - and an outer reality made of shareable symbols we call matter - Federico Faggin - question - about Federico Faggin's ideas - in what way is matter a symbol? - adjacency - poverty mentality - I am the universe who wants to know itself question - in what way is matter a symbol? - Matter is a symbol in the sense that it - we describe reality using language, both - ordinary words as well as - mathematics - It is those symbolic descriptions that DIRECT US to jump from one phenomena to another related phenomena. - After all, WHO is the knower of the symbolic descriptions? - WHAT is it that knows? Is it not, as FF points out, the universe itself - as expressed uniquely through all the MEs of the world, that knows? - Hence, the true nature of all authentic spiritual practices is that - the reality outside of us is intrinsically the same as - the reality within us - our lebenswelt of qualia

    3. it has to be taken as a postulate

      for - answer - It has to be taken as a postulate - Federico Faggin - to question - how can we test that consciousness is the foundation of reality?

    4. you've mentioned the word theory a lot of times. How can we test this?

      for - question - how do you test the theory that consciousness is the foundation of reality? ( to Federico Faggin)

    1. I think it's it's critical for us uh when for for for for people to realize that when we reimagine what the self is and take away take take us away from this this notion of a of a subst you know some kind of monatic substance and all that um it's different than what you said before which is uh that well it's you know every everything is equally illusory I mean there's there's nothing at that point well if it's that that's a deeply destabilizing concept for a lot of people

      for - question - what would Federic Faggin think of this? - question - multi-scale communication - question - are Tibetan Rainbow body and knowing time of death examples of multi-scale communications? question - what would Federic Faggin think of this? - He comes from an experiential perspective, not just an intellectual one.

      question - what would Federic Faggin think of this? - I don't think Michael Levin provides a satisfactory answer to this and this is related to the meaning crisis modernity finds itself in - when traditional religions no longer suffice, - but there is nothing in modernity that can fill the gap yet, if mortality salience is a big issue - I don't think an intellectual answer can meet the needs of people suffering in the meaning crisis, although it is necessary, it is not sufficient - I think they are after some kind of nonverbal, nondual transformative experience

      question - multi-scale communication - This is also a question about multi-scale communication - I've recently used a metaphor to compare - the unitary, monatic experience of consciousness to - an elected government - The trillions of cells "elect" consciousness" as the high level government to oversea them - but we seem to be in the situation of the government being out of touch with the citizens - At one time in our history, was it common to be able for - high level consciousness to communicate directly with - low level cells and subcellular structures? - If so, why has this practice disappeared and - how can we re-establish it?

      question - Are Tibetan Rainbow body and knowing time of death examples of multi-scale communications? - In some older spiritual traditions such as found in the East, it seems deep meditative practitioners are able to achieve a degree of communications with parts of their body that is unconventional and surprising to modern researchers - For example, Tibetan meditators report of having the abiity to predict the time of their death by recognizing subtle bodily, interoceptive signals - Rare instances also occur of the Rainbow Body, when great meditators in the Dzogchen tradition whose body at time of death can disappear in a body of light

    1. when we experience peace what we are experiencing whether we realize it or not is is the background of awareness the background of consciousness who who's whose nature is peace and its peace is present not just in the absence of objective experience it's present during objective experience just as the screen remains present during the movie but we lose contact with it when we lose ourselves in the content of experience

      for question - What is peace? - it is rediscovering our background of awareness - we lose it when we get lost in the content of experience

    2. ultimately dissociation doesn't really happen it's um it's a model i think it's a an accurate a very useful model but the best way i can i can describe this is using the analogy of going to a 3d imax cinema

      for - metaphor - analogy - dissociation - Bernardo Kastrup - to - 3D imax cinema - localize Rupert Spira - terminology - dissociate - Bernado Kastrup - terminology - localize and contract - Rupert Spira - universal consciousness contracts to finite human consciousness - question - meaning of dissociate - Bernardo Kastrup

      metaphor - analogy - dissociation - Bernardo Kastrup - to - 3D imax cinema - Rupert Spira - At 3d Imax cinema, we wear a pair of special glasses - that make the otherwise fuzzy image to acquire a 3rd dimension - In the same way, our raw universal consciousness is like the fuzzy pattern we see on the 3d Imax screen when we DON'T have any special glasses on - When we perceive and think, it is like putting on the 3D glasses in the Imax theatre and suddenly we see objects with great clarity - Spira talks about universal consciousness "localizing" within its own activity - in the form of a finite mind of a human being

      question - meaning of dissociate - Bernardo Kastrup - Does Kastrup mean that we infinite / universal consciousness dissociates from itself into the finite human consciousness? - answer - It appears so, as at time 45:50, Spira summarizes Kastrup's views on dissociation

    1. how do you know if, if, and when you are part of a larger cognitive system, right?

      for - question - how do you know when you are part of a larger cognitive system? - answer - adjacency - synchronicity - lower level example - two neurons talking to each other - Michael Levin - Mark Solms foundation theory of affect

      question - how do you know when you are part of a larger cognitive system? - answer - adjacency - synchronicity - lower level example - two neurons talking to each other - Michael Levin - Mark Solms foundation theory of affect

      adjacency - between - answer - synchronicity - lower level example - two neurons talking to each other - Michael Levin - Mark Solms foundational theory of affect - adjacency relationship - This is a very interesting question and Michael Levin provides a very interesting answer - First, it is very interesting that Mark Solms points out that affect is foundational to cognition - This is evident once we begin to think of the fundamental goals of any individual of any species is to optimize survival - The positive or negative affects that we feel are a feedback signal that measures how successful we are in our efforts to survive - Hence, it is more accurate to ask: - How do you know if and when you are part of a larger affective-cognitive system? - Levin illustrates the multi-level nature of simultaneous consciousness by looking at two neurons "in dialogue" with each other, and potentially speculating about a "higher level of consciousness", which is in fact, the level you and I operate at and take for granted - This speculative question is very important for it also can be generalized to the next layer up, - Do collectives of humans, each one experiencing itself a unified, cohesive inner perspective, constitute a higher level "collective consciousness"? - If we humans experience feelings and thinking whilst we have a well defined physical body, then - what does a society feel and think whilst not having such a well defined physical body?

    2. I have no idea. But what I do know is that it's not a, um, this is not a philosophical, uh, thing that we can decide arguing in an armchair. Yes, it is. No, it isn't. No, you have to do experiments and then you find out.

    1. and these, as I have mentioned in the previous chapter, aresymbolic of Elio himself.

      even the apricots?

    2. After the two lovers have at last slept together, we learn that what each perceived as theother’s indifference and dislike had actually been signs of their affection all along. In fact, welearn that the signs they misunderstand are largely signs that each himself uses to conveyaffection, so that they are almost literally in love with their own reflections.

      "The signs they misunderstand are largely signs that each himself uses to convey affection, so that they are almost literally in love with their own reflections."

      Firstly, what does this mean, and how do we know?

      Does this show a disconnect between understanding one's own identity as he misunderstands Oliver's coldness which is actually affection? Elio does not have a grasp on himself because he misunderstands his own reflection, although he does come to understand him more as the story progresses.

    3. Elio says that he “repeated his phrase as if it were a prophetic mantra meant to reflecthow he lived his life and how I was attempting to live mine” (Aciman 2007: 51). These examplesfurther highlight Aciman’s theme of repetition which underscores his more potent references tothe myth of Echo and Narcissus.

      Does this repetition or echo of this mantra restrict his identity in any way?

    4. he channels Echo often in the novel whenhe describes his contemplative repetitions of things Oliver says to him in his dreams or inactuality. He has a dream that Oliver says, “you’ll kill me if you stop,” which happens in hisdreams on various other occasions, and Elio holds onto this phrase until the two of them finallyconsummate their love and Elio repeats the phrase aloud several times

      Basically, Echo is reinforcing the idea of interpersonal identification. Although in the dream Oliver says "you'll kill me if you stop", the phrase is actually said by Elio -- showing how they desire one another both to have each other but also to be one another. Through the exchanging and replacing of words. How do words and speech represent or shape identity?

    5. ndeed, Elio later emphasizes his fear ofspeaking when he likens himself to a knight in a novella he is reading who cannot decidewhether it is better “to speak or to die” in order to resolve his concealed love for a princess(Aciman 2007: 63). We later learn that the knight does decide to speak, but “fudges” and doesnot say everything that he wants to say (Aciman 2007: 68)

      What do words signify in CMBYN? We know both that Elio has a "fear" of speaking, but how does speaking show deception, and why is that important in identity?

    6. Acimanoften writes summary dialogues between his characters that give us the gist of their conversationwithout including quotation marks.

      Yes, but why?

    1. I would really argue there hasn't been a better time to make music and there hasn't been a better time to consume and listen to music

      for - adjacency - question - degrowth? - circular economy? - steady state - regenerative processes

      adjacency - between - degrowth - circular economy - regenerative practices - steady state economy - adjacency relationship - Where did the 75% number come from? Is there anything special about it? Is it some kind of a limit from the model? - Would circular and regenerative practices play an important role in this? - This would seem to indicate a degrowth type scenario. Degrowth is a misnomer, it doesn't imply continual economic downward trend, - but is specifically addressing a the decrease of physical human economic activity - that is responsible for our excessive pollution load / biodiversity loss - to levels necessary to avoid the worst impacts - It isn't explicitly stated that the other half of degrowth is growth of non-physical economic activity that nurtures and nourishes humanity

    2. It seems ludicrous to imagine that these vitalresources incapable of further expansionwould become essentially free of charge.

      for - question - transition - from capitalism to a form of socialism?

      question - capitalism to a form of socialism? - To say it seems ludicrous is an opinion that makes sense from a traditional capitalists perspective - From a socialist perspective, it seems feasible - Nothing is free of charge, however, even in socialism, there is always some price an individual must pay, it's more about the incentive structure that differentiates the two - capitalism - polarized towards self-centric perspective - socialism -balanced self-and-other perspective

      adjacency - between - capitalism - socialism - differing perspective on self/other worldview - adjacency relationship - While capitalism relies on a self-centric perspective, socialism relies on a more balanced self/other perspective

    3. We must therefore becareful to understand the phenomenonand its implications so that we do not toallow a panicked departure from growththat may result in unnecessary suffering orill-intentioned opportunists exploitingthe chaos

      question - climate adaptation - how do we prepare for potential collapse? - How do we prepare? - preparation needs to take place at national, community and individual / family level - Resiliency will depend on how ill prepared we are at each of these levels - How do we prepare for: - high levels of suffering - ill-intentioned opportunists who are ready to exploit the chaos?

      response - Nora Bateson - Entangled Worlds podcast question - Is English more separating than other languages? - yes - Gedanken - Nora responds by posing a Gedaken that shows how culturally relative our worldviews are - Our enculturation plays a major role in shaping our worldviews - Ronald Wright's famous quotation about how the human brain has not substantially changed in the past 50,000 years implies that - between the present and anytime less than 50,000 years ago, - if we were transported back in time, we would simply adapt the same culturally norms at that time

      epiphany - time travel and a clue to the deepest part of nature within human nature - This Gedanken suggests something important, namely that - if the seemingly immovable worldviews we adopt are a consequence of enculturation - then perhaps that which is the most fundamental aspect of our nature is not dependent on culture? - In other words, if we remove our enculturation, what is left is the most profound set of qualities of being human, - one that transcends all relative cultural perspectives

      "Forced to call I want", implies societal pressure to put labels on feelings... What does Elio think of this? Assigning definitions based on symptoms. Based on others telling you -- this is the transition that Elio takes to become Oliver.

      Will he eventually not want him? And how does this prove identity is contradictory!?

    1. Analyze how musical traditions and practices from selected areas of the world have survived,

      I am very interested in learning all of the different musical traditions that are all over the world. Every place had different traditions and I am curious to learn about them.

    2. Increase their knowledge of the role of the internet and mass media have contributed to the globalization of musical sounds and practices

      I am very curious to learn about how the internet and mass media have contributed to the globalization of musical sounds. The internet has changed so many things and I want to learn how it changed music.

    3. Increase their knowledge of how local cultures around the world have adapted American music into their own society and traditions

      Do people in other countries actually enjoy American music, or is it just prevalent due to other factors?

      Is American music actually as prevalent as we think in other cultures besides our own?

    4. Trace the diaspora of folk and popular music traditions in the United States from selected parts of the world Analyze how musical traditions and practices from selected areas of the world have survived,

      Something that I have been interested in regarding American music is the influences and processes that occured to create its distinct sound, especially in rock. I enjoy the vinyl era, and I find the blues' influence on rock to be extremely intersting as it encapsulates a history unique to the United States and also uses elements from a wide variety of cultures. I'm excited to hear more about this topic during this class.

    5. Understand the pros and cons of globalization, and the ways that people engage in or reject globalization in their own localized musical communities

      I would like to learn more about the cons of globalization. When I think of globalization's impact on art I generally believe it's had a positive impact, so I would like to hear the opposing side. I would assume potentially the cons could be some forms of cultural appropriation, but I would like to hear some of the other cons of globalization for music.

    6. The course explores how music in the United States articulates a broad spectrum of human experience among diverse populations.

      I am curious to see how global music cultures have had an affect on music in the United States. I find this particularly interesting since we are often considered the world's melting pot of cultures, so I wonder how far reaching of human experience our music is.

    1. j'ai une petite question sur en ce moment voilà on parle 01:20:09 beaucoup de du harcèlement à l'école et donc là on nous a sorti des cours d'empathie et donc l'empathie c'est intuitif donc je voulais savoir un petit peu ce que tu pensais de cours 01:20:22 d'empathie alors à la fin tu as dit quand même que l'école le rôle de l'école c'était de de former au système intuitif au système 1 avec en même temps de de former les 01:20:33 individus à revenir sur leur sur leur premières leur leur première intuition pour les déconstruire donc voilà la question c'est qu'est-ce qu'on pense et qu'est-ce qu'on fait de ces cours 01:20:46 d'empathie ou là là alors l'empathie euh c'est coûteux comme la tension ça veut dire c'est la capacité de sortir de 01:20:58 soi de se décentrer et aller vers l'autre plus l'autre est loin et plus je dois marcher donc plus c'est coûteux c'est pour ça ce qu'on parle en journalisme on parle de mort kilométrique ça veut dire que plus les 01:21:11 gens meurent loin de nous moins on a de l'empathie mais pas que de distance géographique mais aussi de distance culturelle donc si vous vous posez la question pourquoi j'ai pas autant d'empathie si pour les pour pour pour 01:21:24 ses morts plutôt que c'estes morts B parce que vous n'avez pas la même culture parce que voilà vous ne sentez pas proche de de ces gens et du coup ça c'est pour dire que l'empathie on a d'abord pour soi on est très très très 01:21:37 voilà on est moi parce que je suis dans moi-même donc on on se trouve 50000 justifications pour ce que nous sommes et plus on s'est li après on a des l'empathie pour ceux qui nous ressemblent et après on a de l'empathie 01:21:49 donc en fait voilà par cercle comme ça je vais l'étaler mon empathie après elle disparaît donc du coup par exemple quand on parle de l'empathie pour les espèces la meilleure façon c'est que les enfants 01:22:02 vivent avec les espèces pas que j'aurais l'empathie pour des insectes que je jamais croisé'estce pas donc c'est parce que plus on partage et plus il y a une proximité qui fait que je vais avoir de 01:22:14 l'empathie donc vous voyez c'est une compéten HE c'est pas qu'il y a des gens qui ont plus d'empathie que d'autres elle n'a rien à voir d'ailleurs avec les sentiments elle a à voir avec la capité de se projeter dans un raisonnement abstrait donc dans ce que vivent les 01:22:27 autres alors la question c'est bien sûr comment je fais pas que je généralise mon empathie mais par contre pour que je puisse avoir le plus possible d'expérience partagé c'est 01:22:39 c'est c'est ça c'est pas une leçon l'empathie je peux pas venir vous dire il faut penser aux autres marche pas la sensibilisation ne marche pas je vais avoir de l'empathie pour les gens avec qui je partage des expériences vécues 01:22:52 dans lesquels je me pose pas la question parce qu'il n'est même pas différent l'autre alors du coup en fait ça devient une question un peu comme la communication non violente un peu comme toutes ces choses qui qui fonctionnent 01:23:05 quand on est un éegois il y a rien de plus énervant qu'une communication non violente entre un opprimé et un oppresseur vous voyez l'opprimé va dire oui c'est pas toi c'est moi je pense que par non ça ça 01:23:18 marche pas la même façon pour l'empathie ça marche pas de parler d'empathie ça marche entre frèr et sœur bien tu as vu ta sœur elle est plus petite que toi tu te rappelles quand toi tu étais petit voilà oui mais quand on est très 01:23:29 différent si je n'ai pas automatiquement justement un affect positif ça va plus être du compromis que de l'empathie ça veut dire c'est un peu comme quand on a fait dans la société on 01:23:42 s'est dit on se tue pas on a pas dit c'est pas gentil n'est-ce pas on a dit c'est si tu fais ça tu vas en prison n'est-ce pas bah voilà c'est ça bah du coup à l'école c'est soit vraiment avoir 01:23:56 une école dans laquelle une vraie mixité sociale soit on fait les les règles de bienséance donc on respecte les autres ont des croyances différentes parce que 01:24:09 voilà c'est c'est l'un ou l'autre mais en fait naturellement quand on est fatigué on n pas d'empathie parce que c'est vraiment quelque chose qui est énergétiquement très très très faut 01:24:20 réduire cette dépense énergétique en en en rendant les expériences partagées le plus souvent présentes et on est dans un pays dans lequel il est possible d'avoir des expériences 01:24:32 partagées mais qui qui voilà c'est l'école la mission d'école de mixité sociale c'est la meilleure réponse la Meille le meilleur entraînement à la considération que de l'autre comme étant 01:24:46 proche de moi
