As of June 2, 2020. 1:18:53 (...) Our governement (Alberta, Canada) is investing 35 million of dollars in something to teach our students leadership, which I expect will, if things go, in the most predictible way, create some worthy leaders for the "Capitalocene , "people who create fossils as quickly as possible"( ...). If (...) you were given these 35 M dollars and the task of somehow cultivating the sensibility that you've communicated in your talk , What experiences would you want those students to have ( ...) ? 1:20:00 the most important thing to do in a classroom, at whatever level, is to somehow communicate the permission to engage in SF (science fiction) in throwing out a proposition and seeing if it holds, to that…. trying out knowledges and tuning the capability to hear knowledges that are not your own and to realize that you actually knew more that you thought you knew but you don’t know enough to be intelligent yet, in the situation; that kind of cultivated tuned listening and speaking quiet and moving (…) that people who believe they are smart are smart and that kind of guided permission to learning to take up the literacies that are in a classroom and to do something interesting with them and then, to insist that the University structures support those activities, so that a student truly can compose in a transdisciplinary way around problems, courses of study from early-on (…) having time, the cultivativation of co-learners and co-mentorships that are paid. So that people have the time and the space to engage in that kind of translearning. (...) so that he credit system allows that. For example, the faculty members in my institution if you gonna teach your course with someone else, you only get half a credit for the course instead of a whole credit. 1:21:40 So the way we worked around, it was to work with THE ROOM PROGRAMMERS and just have them accidentally scheduled the courses in the same room at the same time. It works remarkably well (…) (your money) would be seriously dedicated to the question of struggling for the regulation of time (…) 1:22:16 il faut “exprimer” to experience, to express, to know something (...) 1:22:45 we need to back up the kind of restructuring that all of us have been subjected to, every kind of speed-up, etc.

As of June 2, 2020. Basis for story telling , need for narratives: 1:13:57 being forced to have a baby is absolutely not permitted. That kind of reproductive freedom is non negotiable. But having a baby is not a right. It's a community decision. Reproductive freedom consists in the pregnant one deciding who the symbiot of the child will be. Etc.

[@drooleybob]

this shit is what you get when a feminist discusses tech instead of an actual scientist.

[@fourclaws]

+Big Guy fail / Donna Haraway is an "actual scientist." She has a PhD in Biology from Yale.

[@drooleybob]

fourclaws honey what she did her biology thesis on has bullshit to do with the pseudo science being peddled here.

[@drooleybob]

And does and publishes 'work' for the most unscientific field ever. All of her 'scholarship' is just pseudo intellectual crap not substantiated with any sort of proof or experimentation. She only has dogmas and agendas. And not to mention clever sounding and utterly meaningless terms and words.

[@drooleybob]

***** she doesn't have to please me. but she doesn't have to peddle nonsensical garbage though.

[@meh4770]

She's not peddling anything though...she is sharing her insight for those that are willing to listen. Western science is brutally positivist and intolerant of knowledge that does not meet it's own criteria. Knowledge goes far beyond what we call science. Feminism seems to be a burden on rational thought at first (because it has an overt political agenda that must be justified) but when approached with an open mind it allows for the contemplation of very complex relationships (man-woman-family-society-capital-biosphere) that are difficult to imagine otherwise.
