Yesterday I was thinking about the problem of understanding the Toolbox Theory

Thinking a lots about the Pedagogy of the Oppressed and the Zone of Proximal Development and all that I personally have worked on, there is something simple to observe: If we get into a world of problem-posing education and become fully human; what would truly be the role of the educator? They probably be vanished. So what the educational institution be in this situation?

My argument is that it has to be the lighthouse at the ends of proximal developments and the docking ships.

Latterly, my expedition towards the mind graph had me write about programming general computation ( Programming People For Massive Generational Computations

For many years it was a hard thing for me to play certain things on the piano. The sounds; the chords; the notes; they seemed; to put honestly; arbitrary. I had to memorize them and play them accordingly which all seemed rather not good. But then; after some years had past; those became things that made sense. Patterns I could recognize. Music became more and more like lego.

Some of the ideas that I have known in life and the recent studies combine together in such a fascinating way. First we have to study the evolution of ecosystems and their dependency graphs. My favorite example these days is the creation of a Coffee Shop in Tehran. This used to be really hard. People must have purchased everything from the outside of the country and well; the taste of those who imported the elements required for making the place was not anything close to acceptable. If you al

I’ve been thinking how should I explain the content of the graph theories and this is the first rough draft:

Imagine how today we have options for buying and choosing on almost everything. This is a form of Element selection and graph shaping.

I used to play piano in improvise mode—I still do; my improvisations are not good. If you listen to them you will have a hard time. I started to do this when I had no music education and my parents had just bought a Piano.

There is a well known media theory understanding that people buy what they buy mostly for communicating personality and status (among other things). There are very evident examples which is one deliberately buying a luxury car to signal wealth and success. That in a meta view is to have a comfortable life and many partners and freedom, but then; all of this is to feel special and that specialty is ultimately there to convey the message: “I have a better chance of survival; death is farther aw

I was writing today, and I couldn’t focus at all. In a talk with an LLM, I was referring to their :fermat: hallucination and they began to answer me a fake reason for the hallucination. I was thinking how each time that I get interrupted (the moments that I notate with :fermat:), the thread and the points I wanted to convey are all lost, and I begin to write something new that tries to continue the previous world, exactly as the LLMs predict the next words based on the previous words. So I to
