no i haven't really read anything

much more tactility

what do you mean

in a way what we are really interested in with pedagogy is the magnetisation

we can only engage in such a way

propensity within someone

magnetises a pin

okay im going very rogue and very inarticulate

no like which do people call me

what do you think my name is

like people can read 100 books and still not have the fire within them

autonomy of learning

i hope ai fixes this with the cessation of interfaces and walls

like first name

ahnaf is it worth reading all those books

you cannot feed someone language, they have to speak

the only things i have read are just excerpts and 1 dialogue by plato fully and mcluhan's medium is the massage but it cannot be considered a book

and the fake qualifier

the textwall is as much for me as it is for you

1

yeah

kind of mythopoesis

all that is to say

mazelike/rhizomatic/immanent/emergent are not antithetical to a transcendent real but its very manifestation


there is a distinction between western-modern pedagogical systems that's like text-based as in a legal method but there is an idea of "pathshala" or "guru shissho"/ "porompora" i mean how masters relayed knowledge to the student by (oral) transmission often by memorising books. so what was taught was always interactive. knowledge was interactive, you spoke with people rather than read texts.

a version of this existed for a few months last year but it was static. it was HTML with writing and pictures and videos and sounds. i had this feeling that the code should be as important as the content, that structurally each piece in relation to each other piece shouldn't change, that the mazelike quality should emerge from me intricately arranging paths through it. like classic hypertext

plato

my watchlater reached its limit years ago and now i have to create a playlist for each new topic im interested in but it is incredibly hard to create the taxonomy of knowledge because everything seems to be everything else because at the end it is what you get from it that matters not what is given

this is possible in mazelike research sprints on the internet

i don't really want to be associated with that one for some reason

lol

plato

okay this is interesting because pedagogies we have rn are not proper models
