The truth is, young people learn more from TikTok, TV, and reels than from most classes.
It grabs attention instantly. But it also trains us to move on instantly. I agree and disagree at the same time.

"The hell of it is those punks pump over fifteen billion dollars into the economy every year." Yes, I feel seen on the bill, not in the room. The reality is that education exists inside economic systems whether we notice it or not.

I think his passage rejects the idea that great discoveries come from formal education or expert training. Time for noobs to see differently.

As if weighing what’s passing through his mind.
Humor doesn’t soften reality.
It tests it.

"A cell for citters to cit in. "This page made me wonder if personal space only exists when walls do. I couldn’t stop thinking about the word cell, like jail cell, phone cell, body cell.

What we name irrational may only be what resists being pictured. That notion was uncomfortable.

This passage made me question whether confusion is actually more honest than clarity.

The book is an extension of the eye.

This isn’t a rat race. No one’s competing. The faces repeat because the job repeats. Even if you “win,” the circuit learns the pattern and keeps going without you.
Here, the danger isn’t losing the race, it’s finishing it too well.

“Confusion isn’t a lack of thinking; it’s thinking without witnesses.” I’d drop this right after the Whitehead passage. because being confused doesn’t mean you’re not thinking. It just means you’re thinking before you have to explain it to anyone.

Reading this as a non-native English speaker is exhausting. The vocabulary piles up so fast my brain stops processing.

If success in this course is an experimentation rather than perfection, then how do I undo the learning habits that remind me to be safe, more so with AI?

True!!!! So, we post the soundcloud link on bluesky, then submit a single PDF to Canvas with a clickable hyperlink to that post, idk if it's right?

Nothing seems confusing to me at this point. The standards are also quite obvious: think on your own, work, submit on time and communicate with others. There is no one right answer and the crucial thing is not overthinking about posting.

Honestly, the 400 tweets scare me. I’m not very talkative and I’ve never really posted before, so it feels overwhelming. But at the same time, I’m excited to try something new.

The third voice comes in as there is a conflict between voice and image rather than matching. By keeping that tension, one allows something new and unexpected to develop.
