hi y'all. it's me, emiko. (i guess i forgot to mention that.) i'm glad there's some interest. i find this more accessible than meetings just 'cause i have a hard time making them (for example, today i've got two people i need to connect with after class), and it's nice to write down thoughts as i read (though i haven't done that as of yet).
so. just a couple of things to get us started:
did anyone understand all that economic jargon in the first article we read (intellectual openings and policy closures)? i've never taken an econ class and know very little about this stuff. but i would love to learn more if anyone can explain it to me.
i loved the article, 'state.' i have very little background knowledge on nation-states. it put a lot into perspective.
in 'science,' i was surprised by this idea of entropy being ethno-centric. i like how it was related to the econ's idea of scarcity, though i don't yet have a good grasp on how either of these ideas function. it was also great to hear science being paralleled to scripture (p.228 3rd paragraph). also, the difference between knowledge and information... i like the distinction. i feel like knowledge has direction. what cha'll think?
shit. i've got to work on my paper, readings, and all that other stuff. but one last thing: anyone else notice how 'technology and expertise' ended mid-sentence? i really loved that article and was so bummed for it to just leave me hanging like that.
