(Saving...) (Saving...) (Saving...) Networked Knowledge and Combinatorial Creativity by Maria Popova Why creativity is like LEGO, or what Richard Dawkins has to do with Susan Sontag and Gandhi. In May, I had the pleasure of speaking at the wonderful Creative Mornings free lecture series masterminded by my studiomate Tina of Swiss Miss fame. I spoke about Networked Knowledge and Combinatorial Creativity, something at the heart of Brain Pickings and of increasing importance as we face our present information reality. These are pages from the most famous florilegium, completed by Thomas of Ireland in the 14th century. In talking about these medieval manuscripts, Adam Gopnik writes in The New Yorker: Our minds were altered less by books than by index slips.” Which is interesting, recognizing not only the absolute vale of content but also its relational value, the value not just of information itself but also of information architecture, not just of content but also of content curation. You may have heard this anecdote. Kind of LEGOs. And I like this last part. Do stuff.
Humberto Maturana e o espaço relacional da construção do conhecimento Humberto Maturana e o espaço relacional da construção do conhecimento Adriano J. H. Vieira Introdução Muitas são as definições que pretendem explicar o que seja o conhecimento. Maturana e sua trajetória Em seus primeiros estudos de Medicina, no Chile e depois na Inglaterra, Maturana foi mapeando uma compreensão dos seres vivos como “entes dinâmicos autônomos em contínua transformação em coerência com suas circunstâncias de vida”.[1] A busca aprofundada desse desejo de compreender melhor a dinâmica do ser vivo levou-o a estudar Biologia em 1956, quando inicia seu doutorado em Harvard. Na pesquisa do sistema nervoso foi formulando sua idéia de ser vivo como sistemas de organização circular nos quais o que se conserva é a circularidade. Viver e conhecer são mecanismos vitais. Os estudos de Maturana explicitam o sinônimo entre conhecer e viver. Nessa relação criativa, meio-sistema, é que emerge o social. Cooperar ou competir? A educação para Maturana A educação sempre é para que.
rocinante Café Filosófico 5 Big Reasons We All Need To Take Jesus More Seriously By Steven Bancarz| We all hear about “Jesus” as some point in our life, and many of us brush it off because it sounds too much like a fairy tale. Some of us hate Christianity with a passion because of the wars, death, judgment, and fights it is responsible for, and some of us have been raised on the Bible but ended up growing out of a lot of it. And maybe some of us have been brainwashed by New Ageism and New Atheism. There is SO much disinformation out there about Jesus that it almost has become a trend to believe in falsehoods. And for those who are Christians reading this, you may think I am not educated enough about the Bible of Christianity to make claims about Jesus, and for the atheists reading this you may think I’m unaware or the information and arguments used to debunk Jesus and God. I was raised Christian by the book. Having a website like this and being a part of this community has shown me that there needs to be a proper piece of research on the topic of Jesus. Tacitus (c.
