    1. To “switch worldviews” then is not like changing glasses. Or running the privileged finger down the golden fonts of a fine restaurant's menu. It is more like entering another ecology entirely. Or being entered. And such an entry can only ever happen with cracks, displacements, hauntings.

    1. i'm not trained as a linguist

      for - David Long - is not trained as a linguist, yet heads this organization - This already says so much about the minor role that the STUDY of language plays in learning how to FLUENTLY SPEAK the language!

      summary - The key takeaway is that even as adults, we have retained our innate language learning skill which requires simply treating a new language as a new, novel experience that we can apprehend naturally simply by experiencing it like the way we did when we were exposed to our first, native language - We didn't know what a "language" was theoretically when we were infants, but we simply fell into the experience and played with the experiences and our primary caretakers guided us - We didn't know grammar and rules of language, we just learned innately

    3. if you were to distill down to its most basic component what is what is language it's not a phoneme it's not a word or phrase it's not even a meaning of some sound right in its basic component it's a it's a happening it's an aspect or a part of an experience all right this is this is sort of like the key to everything we're doing in alg

      for - quote - language is fundamentally an experience

      quote - language is fundamentally an experience - David Long - if you were to distill down to its most basic component, what is language? - It's not a phoneme - It's not a word or phrase - it's not even a meaning of some sound - In its basic component, it's a happening it's an aspect or a part of an experience - This is the key to everything we're doing in alg (Automatic Language Growth)

    4. as adults we have what we grew up with as young kids the the innate or the natural ability to acquire a language but most of us we've also learned and gained another quite natural ability and that is to learn things on purpose right so and so those two natures do conflict i don't think they fit well together

      for - key insight / quote - innate language learning is in conflict with intentional learning - David Long - Common Human Denominator - learning language

    5. there is something that all humans do naturally even without education yeah and that is learn language

      for - quote - language education - there is something that all humans do naturally even without education, and that is learn language - David Long

    6. i can never get past the idea of study because what we're doing is not study at all

      for - quote - not study at all - David Long - natural language immersion

    7. no homework no test come and we'll entertain you so you got me you know no idea is this going to work or not but i enjoyed the idea of being entertained rather than the misery of language study

      summary - This video summarizes the remarkable life of linguist J. Marvin Brown, who spent a lifetime trying to understand how to learn a second language and to use it the way a natural language user does - After a lifetime of research and trying out various teaching and learning methods, he finally realized that adults all have the abilitty to learn a new language in the same way any infant does, naturally through listening and watching - The key was to not bring in conscious thinking of an adult and immerse oneself in - This seems like a highly relevant clue to language creation and to linguistic BEing journeys - to - youtube - Interview with David Long - Automatic Language Growth - https://hyp.is/GRPUHipvEfCVEaMaLSU-BA/www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yhIM2Vt-Cc

    1. Chronologie des événements Ce document étant une transcription d'une discussion, il ne présente pas de chronologie d'événements à proprement parler.

      Il s'articule plutôt autour de l'analyse de la difficulté de concilier temps long et démocratie, en particulier en France.

      Cependant, on peut dégager certains points de repère chronologiques:

      • Avant 1981: Période marquée par des avancées progressives (droit de vote à 18 ans, loi sur l'avortement, etc.) qui s'inscrivaient déjà dans une certaine vision du temps long.
      • 1981: Election de François Mitterrand, porteuse d'un espoir de changement et d'une nouvelle politique économique.
      • 1983: Moment perçu par une partie de la population comme un tournant vers une politique économique plus libérale, nourrissant un sentiment de trahison et de défiance envers le politique.
      • 1986: Arrivée de la droite au pouvoir et mise en place de privatisations.
      • Depuis 1986: Difficulté croissante pour les gouvernements successifs de s'inscrire dans le temps long, face à une demande citoyenne de résultats immédiats et à la pression médiatique et des réseaux sociaux.

      Personnages principaux

      • Bris Teinturier: Directeur général d'Ipsos et expert en sondages d'opinion. Il analyse l'évolution de la société française et met en lumière la difficulté de concilier temps long et démocratie, pointant notamment la défiance croissante envers les institutions et la montée en puissance du "citoyen expert". Il souligne l'importance de l'écoute et du dialogue pour construire une vision partagée du long terme.
      • Jacques Attali: Conseiller d'Etat, économiste et ancien conseiller de François Mitterrand. Il réfute l'idée d'un tournant en 1983 et souligne l'importance d'une vision du monde et d'un projet clair pour s'inscrire dans le temps long. Il plaide pour l'intégration d'un article dans la Constitution pour inscrire l'intérêt des générations futures dans le processus de décision publique. Il s'inquiète de la montée en puissance du marché et de la liberté individuelle au détriment des autres valeurs, et appelle à un sursaut pour réaffirmer l'importance de l'Etat et du bien commun.
      • François Charles: Economiste et président de l'IRCE, un think tank indépendant. Il interroge la fragmentation des médias et la temporalité des mandats politiques face à l'urgence du citoyen.
      • Julien Volikov: Maire adjoint de Paris chargé de la police municipale et enseignant en droit public. Il souligne le risque de repli sur soi et de court-termisme lié aux réseaux sociaux, et appelle les politiques à s'engager davantage dans un discours de long terme.
      • Doctorant en droit public de l'Université de Bordeaux: Il interroge la faisabilité d'inscrire le temps long dans la Constitution française, compte tenu de la politisation du Conseil constitutionnel et propose de parler de "droits des générations futures".
      • Madame Stickel: Intervenante qui propose de revaloriser la participation citoyenne en s'inspirant du modèle athénien et interroge la possibilité d'un vote obligatoire.
      • Haut fonctionnaire et syndicaliste au ministère de l'Education nationale: Il témoigne de la difficulté d'arbitrer entre temps court et temps long dans le domaine éducatif.
    2. Briefing Doc: Le temps long et l'action publique

      Introduction:

      Ce briefing doc analyse les échanges lors d'une conférence sur "Le temps long et l'action publique" avec Brice Teinturier, directeur général d'Ipsos, et Jacques Attali, économiste et ancien conseiller de François Mitterrand.

      Les discussions abordent les tensions entre le court-termisme inhérent à la démocratie et la nécessité d'une vision à long terme, particulièrement dans le contexte actuel de mutations technologiques, climatiques et géopolitiques.

      Thèmes principaux:

      La crise de la temporalité en démocratie:

      Brice Teinturier souligne une "crise du résultat" depuis les années 80, nourrissant une défiance envers les institutions et les élites.

      Cette défiance, amplifiée par les réseaux sociaux et l'information en continu, enferme les citoyens dans des "bulles informationnelles" et renforce le court-termisme.

      "Quand on est dans cette crise du résultat et dans cette défiance, eh bien ça accentue tout simplement la demande d'immédiateté, la demande de résultats immédiats." (Brice Teinturier)

      L'enjeu du long terme face aux défis contemporains: Jacques Attali insiste sur l'urgence d'une vision à long terme face aux défis du changement climatique, de la compétition internationale et de la révolution technologique.

      Il critique l'absence de "vision du monde" et de "projet" des gouvernements depuis 1986.

      "Aujourd'hui se décide ce que sera le monde en 2050 et se prépare ce qu'il sera en 2100." (Jacques Attali)

      Le rôle de l'État et la nécessité d'une planification: Jacques Attali défend le rôle de l'État dans la gestion des "biens publics rares" et plaide pour une planification alliant sphère politique et administrative, s'appuyant sur une fonction publique stable et l'intégration de l'intérêt des générations futures dans la Constitution.

      "La meilleure façon de gérer les biens publics rares, c'est l'État avec les impôts et la répartition des ressources publiques." (Jacques Attali)

      Des solutions pour intégrer le long terme dans l'action publique: Différentes pistes sont évoquées pour réconcilier démocratie et long terme:

      Renforcer le rôle des corps intermédiaires: (syndicats, collectivités territoriales) pour favoriser le dialogue et la construction de consensus.

      Développer des mécanismes de participation citoyenne: (conventions citoyennes, conseils des générations futures) pour associer la population aux réflexions sur le long terme.

      Introduire la notion d'intérêt des générations futures dans la Constitution: pour garantir la prise en compte de l'avenir dans la décision publique.

      Interdire les smartphones dans les lieux de décision: pour limiter l'influence des "followers" et encourager une réflexion plus approfondie.

      Conclusion:

      Le débat met en lumière la tension entre court-termisme et long terme, tension exacerbée par les mutations contemporaines.

      La recherche de solutions pour intégrer durablement le long terme dans l'action publique, en impliquant la société civile et en réaffirmant le rôle de l'État, apparaît comme un défi majeur pour les années à venir.

    3. La transcription d’une conférence du Conseil d’État explore la difficulté pour les démocraties à concilier la temporalité courte de l’électoralisme et la nécessité d’une action publique à long terme, face à des défis comme le changement climatique ou l’intelligence artificielle.

      L’intervention de Brice Teinturier souligne une crise de la représentation politique, alimentée par une défiance citoyenne, une demande de résultats immédiats et une fragmentation de l’espace médiatique. Jacques Attali, quant à lui, met en lumière le conflit entre l’État et le marché, la domination de la valeur "liberté", et propose une révision constitutionnelle pour garantir l’intérêt des générations futures, mettant en garde contre le risque d'une dérive totalitaire.

      Le débat explore des solutions, comme la démocratie participative, mais souligne la complexité de l'intégration du temps long dans le processus décisionnel démocratique.

      Sommaire minuté de la conférence "Deuxième conférence : Temps long et État stratège"

      Introduction (09:19 - 09:49)

      • Ouverture de la séance par un représentant du Conseil d'État, qui remercie les participants et introduit le thème de la conférence : l'articulation entre le temps long et la démocratie.
      • Introduction des intervenants : Brice Teinturier, directeur général d'Ipsos, expert des évolutions de l'opinion, et Jacques Attali, conseiller d’État et économiste.

      Intervention de Brice Teinturier (21:35 - 40:19)

      • Point de départ : tension entre le temps court du citoyen et le temps long de l’État. Le citoyen évolue de plus en plus dans l'urgence, tandis que l'État stratège nécessite une vision à long terme.
      • Trois évolutions majeures expliquant la difficulté d'articuler temps court et temps long :
        • Crise du résultat et la défiance qu'elle engendre, accentuant la demande de résultats concrets et rapides.
        • Fragmentation des médias, qui dynamise l'espace délibératif commun et enferme chacun dans sa bulle informationnelle.
        • Intériorisation de l'idée d'un monde dangereux, suscitant une demande massive de protection immédiate.
      • Conséquence : clivage majeur entre demande de protection et besoin de politiques de long terme.
      • Pistes de solution : reconstituer un espace délibératif commun, massifier les consultations et les initiatives de démocratie participative.

      Intervention de Jacques Attali (40:28 - 1:47:40)

      • Commentaire sur l'idée d'un "tournant de 83" : Attali réfute cette idée, expliquant qu'il n'y a eu ni annulation des réformes de structure ni dérive nationaliste.
      • Absence de vision à long terme en France depuis 1986 : les Présidents de la République ont été élus sans programme clair, se focalisant sur le court terme.
      • Conflits inhérents à la question du temps long :
        • Démocratie vs. Dictature : Attali réfute l'idée que la dictature gère mieux le temps long, soulignant l'échec des dictatures.
        • Marché vs. Société : le marché, par nature sans frontières, pousse à la précarité des contrats et à la déloyauté. La société a besoin de sécurité et de stabilité.
      • Risque de dérive totalitaire : la domination de la liberté individuelle sur les autres valeurs pourrait mener à une remise en cause de l'équilibre institutionnel.
      • Solutions pour instaurer le long terme :
        • Hautes autorités et agences : Attali reconnaît leur utilité mais pointe le risque d'un affaiblissement de la démocratie.
        • Inscription de l'intérêt des générations futures dans la Constitution : Attali propose un article stipulant que toute décision contraire à cet intérêt serait inconstitutionnelle.
      • Consensus possible sur un corpus de valeurs pour le long terme : Attali cite la mobilité sociale, la justice sociale, la protection, l'Europe et l'économie de la vie.
      • Importance de l'intelligence artificielle : Attali souligne son rôle croissant dans la prédiction des comportements et des conséquences des actes, notamment par les compagnies d'assurance.
      • Nécessité de hauts fonctionnaires de haut niveau dans la durée : Attali insiste sur l'importance d'une haute fonction publique stable et compétente pour penser le long terme.

      Échange avec la salle et les internautes (1:02:29 - 1:59:09)

      • Questions et interventions de la salle et des internautes sur divers sujets : la fragmentation des médias, la temporalité des mandats, le désintérêt pour le temps long, la responsabilité des politiques, la démocratie participative, le rôle de l’éducation, l’Union européenne, la Charte de l’environnement, la place des collectivités territoriales, des partenaires sociaux et des corps intermédiaires.
      • Réponses de Brice Teinturier et Jacques Attali, apportant leur expertise et leur point de vue sur ces questions.

      Conclusion (1:59:09 - 2:00:34)

      • Remerciements aux intervenants et aux participants.
      • Annonce des prochaines conférences du cycle "Temps long et État stratège".
  6. Dec 2024
    1. La conférence inaugurale du cycle dédié à l’État stratège et à la prise en compte du temps long dans l’action publique a permis d’aborder plusieurs points fondamentaux.

      Voici un sommaire minuté des points forts de la vidéo :

      0:30-3:00 : Recul de la prise en compte du temps long dans l’action publique.

      Bruno Lasserre, vice-président du Conseil d’État, souligne le recul de la prise en compte du temps long par l’État.

      Ce constat est lié à l’accroissement des tâches de gestion depuis la fin du 19e siècle.

      L’État est passé d’un modèle régalien à un État providence puis un État régulateur, ajoutant à chaque étape de nouveaux objectifs de long terme mais aussi des objectifs de gestion courante qui entrent en concurrence avec le temps long.

      3:00-5:30 : L'exemple de l'État planificateur de l’après-guerre.

      L’exemple de l’État planificateur de l’après-guerre est cité, avec la création du Commissariat général au Plan en 1946.

      Le plan a permis de structurer le développement du pays autour de grands projets.

      La planification s’est appuyée sur des organismes de prévision (INSEE, service des études économiques et financières), et sur le dialogue avec les partenaires sociaux.

      5:30-7:30 : Articuler temps court et temps long.

      Bruno Lasserre insiste sur la nécessité d’articuler le temps court et le temps long, face aux enjeux de la transition écologique, des évolutions démographiques et des mutations technologiques.

      Il soulève la question du développement d’un véritable outil prospectif couvrant ces différents champs.

      9:30-11:00 : L’État stratège, une notion complexe.

      Martine de Boisdeffre, présidente de la section des études de la prospective et de la coopération du Conseil d’État, aborde la complexité des notions d’« État stratège » et de « temps long ».

      Elle insiste sur la nécessité de clarifier ces notions pour mieux comprendre la réalité de l’État stratège et ses enjeux.

      11:00-13:00 : Prospective et conciliation des temps.

      Martine de Boisdeffre met l’accent sur la prospective pour anticiper les évolutions futures et préparer les politiques publiques.

      Elle souligne l’importance de la conciliation du temps long avec la préférence pour le présent et la nécessité de l’évaluation et de l’adaptation des politiques publiques.

      13:30-22:00 : François Bayrou, plaidoyer pour un État stratège.

      François Bayrou, Haut-commissaire au Plan, plaide pour un État stratège capable de penser le temps long et de s’organiser autour d’une planification.

      Il déplore l’abandon de la culture du plan au profit d’une vision néolibérale privilégiant le marché.

      Il donne des exemples concrets de décisions publiques qui ont souffert d’un manque de vision prospective.

      Points clés de l’intervention de François Bayrou :

      • Démographie médicale : La décision du numerus clausus a eu des effets désastreux sur le système de santé français.
      • Énergie : Le manque de planification a conduit à des choix énergétiques incohérents et dangereux.
      • Désindustrialisation : La France a subi une désindustrialisation massive faute d’anticipation.
      • Outre-mer : L’absence de plan sérieux pour les Outre-mer a engendré une crise grave.

      22:00-32:00 : Christine Lavarde, la difficulté de penser le temps long dans un contexte politique dominé par le court terme.

      Christine Lavarde, sénatrice et présidente de la délégation à la prospective du Sénat, souligne la difficulté de penser le long terme dans un contexte politique dominé par le court terme.

      Elle évoque les limites de la prospective, qui peut être démentie par des événements imprévus.

      Elle insiste sur la nécessité pour l’État de se doter d’outils pour mieux anticiper les crises.

      Elle déplore la tendance à privilégier les solutions budgétaires de court terme au détriment des investissements de long terme.

      32:00-50:00 : Philippe Baptiste, le spatial comme exemple d’un secteur qui s’inscrit nécessairement dans le temps long.

      Philippe Baptiste, président du CNES, met en avant le secteur spatial comme un domaine où la prise en compte du temps long est indispensable.

      Il rappelle que les projets spatiaux nécessitent des années de développement et comportent des risques importants (techniques, géostratégiques).

      Il souligne l’importance des objectifs stratégiques clairs, des compétences techniques, des budgets et de la confiance pour réussir dans le domaine spatial.

      Il analyse les difficultés de l’industrie spatiale européenne, et plaide pour une réinvention du modèle de coopération européen.

      50:00-1:08:00 : Échanges avec la salle.

      Les échanges avec la salle abordent des questions cruciales comme la prise en compte des enjeux climatiques, l’articulation entre réflexion stratégique de long terme et respect du choix démocratique, l’importance de l’évaluation des politiques publiques, et la comparaison internationale des visions stratégiques et prospectives.

      Conclusion :

      La conférence inaugurale a permis de poser les bases d’une réflexion approfondie sur l’importance du temps long dans l’action publique et sur les difficultés rencontrées par l’État pour s’inscrire dans cette temporalité.

      Les interventions et les échanges ont mis en lumière la nécessité d’un État stratège capable de concilier le court terme et le long terme, de développer une vision prospective, et de s’appuyer sur des outils et des organisations adaptés pour mener des politiques publiques ambitieuses et durables.

    1. I enjoyed this podcast but got the feeling they see PKM as a kind of grueling Fordist production line. The process in your book seems a lot less like a grind and a lot more like fun!

      Zettelkasten is a method for creating "slow productivity" against a sea of information overload

      Some of the framing goes back to using the card index as a means of overcoming the eternal problem of "information overload" [see A. Blair, Yale University Press, 2010]. I ran into an example the other day in David Blight's DeVane Lectures at Yale in which he simultaneously shrugged at the problem while talking about (perhaps unknown to him) the actual remedy: https://boffosocko.com/2024/09/16/paul-conkins-zettelkasten-advice/

      It's also seen in Luhmann claiming he only worked on things he found easy/fun. The secret is that while you're doing this, your zettelkasten is functioning as a pawl against the ratchet of ideas so that as you proceed, you don't lose your place in your train of thought (folgezettel) even if it's months since you thought of something last. This allows you to always be building something of interest to you even (especially) if the pace is slow and you don't know where you're going as you proceed. It's definitely a form of advanced productivity, but not in the sort of "give-me-results-right-now" way that most have come to expect in a post-Industrial Revolution world. This distinction is what is usually lost on those coming from a productivity first perspective and causes friction because it's not the sort of productivity they've come to expect.

    1. Someone once said that at least one in five people are writing a novel. I barely know anyone who isn’t. It is still a prestigious form. And so, despite social media – the junk food of communication – literature continues to adapt to the contemporary mood. Where there is digital overload, people are returning to this more relaxed, nutritious analogue mode - reading words on a page.

    1. Christopher P. Long.

      For Long performative publications are directly connected to the idea of practice, where following the concept of performativity, he argues that ideas should be put to practice, where practice can further inform and enrich ones ideas again. Long applies these values directly to several of his own performative projects. In his book The Socratic and Platonic Politics: Practicing a Politics of Reading, he shows how Socratic philosophy and Platonic writing was designed to cultivate dialogue and community. By digitally enhancing his publication, Long explores how writing and reading can promote community in a digital context, in specific a community of collaborative readers. As Long argues:

      If, however, the book is not to be a mere abstract academic exercise, it will need to be published in a way that performs and enables the politics of collaborative reading for which it argues. (Long 2012)

      https://youtu.be/-f9N1n-4cI8

      A further extension of this project is a podcast series titled Digital Dialogue which aims to cultivate dialogue in a digital age by engaging other scholars in open conversation online. Long is also involved in the Public Philosophy Journal project, which is specifically set up to crawl the web to find diverse positions on various philosophical subjects and to bring these together in a collaborative writing setting. As Long explains:

      The PPJ is designed to crawl the web, listening for conversations in which philosophical ideas and approaches are brought to bear on a wide variety of issues of public concern. Once these conversations are curated and a select number chosen for further development, we will invite participants into a space of collaborative writing so they can work their ideas up into a more fully formulated scholarly article or digital artifact.

    1. “theoryset the terms for many of the later theories that were used to justify theestablishment of European property in America”

      I'm beginning to disagree with the thesis of terra nulllius as an overarching theory behind colonization. We've already seen a "intellectual convergence" towards the ideas, and that's because they're just so damn convenient. If you have overwheleming military and economic power over a foe, and are looking to justify a conquest of them, they will be dehumanized. Time and time again this has been proven. And once they are dehumanized, that land becomes empty, free for the taking. This imposition of the westephalian system is the true overarching theory behind colonialism, not terra nullius, a theory which simply repeats over and over again directly in philosophical justifications of conquest due to its convenience.

    1. Chess titans have anywhere from 20,000 to 100,000 configurations of pieces, or patterns, committed to memory. They are able to quickly pull relevant information from this mammoth database. With a mere glance, a grandmaster can then figure out how the configuration in front of him is likely to play itself out.

      is this from Ognjen Amidzic's research on chess and memory?

    1. A resource can map to the empty set, which allowsreferences to be made to a concept before any realization ofthat concept exist

      This is a very useful but underutilized property. It allows you to e.g. announce in advance that a resource will exist at some point in the future, and thereby effectively receive "updates" to the linking document without requiring changes to the document itself.

    1. Over the past few years, many “efficient Trans-former” approaches have been proposed that re-duce the cost of the attention mechanism over longinputs (Child et al., 2019; Ainslie et al., 2020; Belt-agy et al., 2020; Zaheer et al., 2020; Wang et al.,2020; Tay et al., 2021; Guo et al., 2022). However,especially for larger models, the feedforward andprojection layers actually make up the majority ofthe computational burden and can render process-ing long inputs intractable

      Recent improvements in transformers for long documents have focused on efficiencies in the attention mechanism but the feed-forward and projection layers are still expensive for long docs

    1. maintenance rehearsal repeating items over and over to maintain them in short-term memory, as in repeating a telephone number until it has been dialed (see rehearsal). According to the levels-of-processing model of memory, maintenance rehearsal does not effectively promote long-term retention because it involves little elaboration of the information to be remembered. Also called rote rehearsal. See also phonological loop.

      The practice of repeating items as a means of attempting to place them into short-term memory is called maintenance rehearsal. Examples of this practice include repeating a new acquaintance's name or perhaps their phone number multiple times as a means of helping to remember it either for the short term or potentially the long term.

      Research on the levels-of processing model of memory indicates that maintenance rehearsal is not as effective at promoting long term memory as methods like elaborative rehearsal.

    1. It's a great way to test various limits. When you think about this even more, it's a little mind-bending, as we're trying to impose a global clock ("who is the most up to date") on a system that inherently doesn't have a global clock. When we scale time down to nanoseconds, this affects us in the real world of today: a light-nanosecond is not very far.
    2. Which of these to use depends on the result you want. Note that by the time you get the answer, it may be incorrect (out of date). There is no way to fix this locally. Using some ESP,2 imagine the remote you're contacting is in orbit around Saturn. It takes light about 8 minutes to travel from the sun to Earth, and about 80 to travel from the sun to Saturn, so depending on where we are orbitally, they're 72 to 88 minutes away. Any answer you get back from them will necessarily be over an hour out of date.

    1. The Future is Vast: Longtermism’s perspective on humanity’s past, present, and futureIf we manage to avoid a large catastrophe, we are living at the early beginnings of human historyby Max RoserMarch 15, 2022The point of this text is not to predict how many people will ever live. What I learned from writing this post is that our future is potentially very, very big. This is what I try to convey here.If we keep each other safe – and protect ourselves from the risks that nature and we ourselves pose – we are only at the beginning of human history.
    1. Evaluations of the platform show that users who follow the avatar inmaking a gesture achieve more lasting learning than those who simply hear theword. Gesturing students also learn more than those who observe the gesture butdon’t enact it themselves.

      Manuela Macedonia's research indicates that online learners who enact specific gestures as they learn words learn better and have longer retention versus simply hearing words. Students who mimic these gestures also learn better than those who only see the gestures and don't use them themselves.

      How might this sort of teacher/avatar gesturing be integrated into online methods? How would students be encouraged to follow along?

      Could these be integrated into different background settings as well to take advantage of visual memory?

      Anecdotally, I remember some Welsh phrases from having watched Aran Jones interact with his cat outside on video or his lip syncing in the empty spaces requiring student responses. Watching the teachers lips while learning can be highly helpful as well.

    2. In one study, subjects who had watched a videotapedspeech were 33 percent more likely to recall a point from the talk if it wasaccompanied by a gesture. This effect, detected immediately after the subjectsviewed the recording, grew even more pronounced with the passage of time:thirty minutes after watching the speech, subjects were more than 50 percentmore likely to remember the gesture-accompanied points.

      People are more likely to remember points from talks that are accompanied by gestures. This effect apparently increases with time.

      What does the effect of time have on increased lengths? Does it continue to increase and then decrease at some point? Anecdotally I often recall quotes and instances from movies based on movements that I make.

      What effects, if any, are seen in studies of mirror-neurons and those with impairment of them? What memory effects might be seen with those on the autism spectrum who don't have strong mirror-neuron responses? If this is impaired, what might account for their improved memories for some types of material? Which types of material do they have improved memories for?

      Is the same true of drawing points from a speech using the ideas of sketchnotes? Is drawing an extension of gestural improvement of memory?

    1. his long-term goal, the whole rationale of the war, 00:07:47 is to deny the existence of the Ukrainian nation and to absorb it into Russia. And to do that, it's not enough to conquer Ukraine. You also need to hold it. And it's all based on this fantasy, on this gamble, that most of the population in Ukraine would agree to this, would even welcome this. 00:08:11 And we already know that it's not true. That the Ukrainians are a very real nation; they are fiercely independent; they don’t want to be part of Russia; they will fight like hell. And in the long-run, again, you can conquer a country, But as the Russians learned in Afghanistan, as the Americans learned also in Afghanistan, also in Iraq, it's much harder to hold a country.

      Does Putin know this? Do his advisors know this? If so, is the current targeting of civilians all to save face? What a price to pay!

    1. Psychologists call this mechanism activeinhibition (cf. MacLeod, 2007

      Active inhibition is the filter that prevents our minds from being constantly flooded with memories and allows us to focus. It acts as a barrier between our long term memories and our immediate present.

      Is the filter behind active inhibition really active or is it passive? What is the actual physiological mechanism?

      Tech solutionism can often seem useful because it appears to be cheaper, simpler, and easier to implement than making more difficult choices and larger, necessary social changes.

      One needs to always ask what is the real underlying problem? What other methods are there for potential solutions? What are the knock-on effects of these potential solutions. Is the particular solution really just a quick fix or bandaid? Once implemented how will one measure the effects and adjust after-the-fact?

Women’s gambling: women in many indigenous NorthAmerican societies were inveterate gamblers; the women ofadjacent villages would often meet to play dice or a gameplayed with a bowl and plum stone, and would typically bet theirshell beads or other objects of personal adornment as thestakes. One archaeologist versed in the ethnographic literature,Warren DeBoer, estimates that many of the shells and otherexotica discovered in sites halfway across the continent had gotthere by being endlessly wagered, and lost, in inter-villagegames of this sort, over very long periods of time.36

      I had the pleasure of taking Sol's combinatorics class at USC several years before he passed away, so I also got an early look at much of the material as he was using it in class. It was scheduled at my lunchtime, so I took the time to drive over to USC at lunch twice a week to sit in. My favorite part was seeing proofs for various things I'd seen in other branches of mathematics, but done in a combinatorial way.

      Somewhere knocking around I think I've got audio recordings and notes of the class that I'll have to do something with one day.

      Many talk about Sol's ability to do calculations in his head, but like most mathematicians he knew the standard tricks and shortcuts. To me this was underlined by the fact that he always did long division on the board when there wasn't a simple short cut.

    1. Cognitive scientists have found also that when we answer a question in our own words, we integrate the information better into our long-term memory.

      Reference for this?
