do you know networks? on leaving the Garden of Eden | the theoryblog - 0 views

  •  I like doubters, complications, ideas that break down assumptions and build toward further questions, not answers.
  • the Tree of Knowledge is not an apple, in my belief systems. It is a weed.
  •  To ask how it has come to be that participatory networked practices are more likely to be framed as threats than opportunities for education in the 21st century.

  •  Things written in print are either finished or not. They do not blend into each other; they do not create webs. They create canons, privileging some over others and erasing the steps of their logic so as to make it all appear natural.
  • But…and this is important…it was the free exchange of ideas and communications we valorized in that Enlightenment ideal. Not actually the small yet increasingly commodified paper packet. Yet we conflated the two. And in the process, we allowed the grammar of schooling to reinforce a Romantic identification of books, in particular, with all things noble about humanity.

      A larger view of the thousands of blooms.
  • Let a thousand weeds bloom.

      People forget that this phrase has some of its origins in Mao's expression, "Let a hundred flowers bloom" and that it was piece of disinformation.  Speak the truth, Mao implied, and the truth shall set you free.  The real truth is that if anyone spoke the truth they were revealed as heterodox, as dissident.   Or maybe this is all about marijuana de-criminalizaton?

      "Every street of Kabul is enthralling to the eye Through the bazaars, caravans of Egypt pass One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs And the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls"  Saib Tabrizi

      All this talk of flowers and weeds and thousands reminescent (flourescent even) of 'a thousand plateaus', an idea that transcends 'rhizome' in D&G Great video on D&G, pomo and  Zizek.  Thinking about taking the whole course, sticking it on Vialogues and having a conversation with myself and others.  Sometimes you have to break through the thousand flowers, the thousand gardens, the thousand weeds, and the thousand shining suns to get through to a new plateau.
