this is what hit me.. and i remember the podcast... and howard and dean and alec for
32:15 - kids in couros and shareski's rooms - think they are going to change the world.. fired up - rick
34:45 - i was too antsie to be in a classroom - howard - i see that person who i am out there talking them. they are either broken by the system.. or working it
35:20 - and these are the success stories of the system
40:35 - whoa sonja livingston
40: 40 - mindfulness, knowing what to pay attention to
43:20 - the meta-skill, is my mind just wandering or do i need to pay attention to certain skill
44 - howard doing the - shut off for a minute - a probe of mindfulness - not telling you to not do things.. but to do things mindfully
47:55 - distracted by ben grey saying i'm full of crap - howard
50:45 - the community is whatever you want to project onto it
isn't about math to build a sturdy bridge.. it's about human behavior
51:50 - i think i would have to learn it with them - i think this is rick talking
54 - our minds are too fast for what we think they are - no? - howard
54:40 - having a wandering mind has gotten a bad name - howard
56 - we need to get this info out there - rick - esp what is really going on in the head of those who look distracted
so - my first intro to howard - is centered around this question.. what is the value of being together in a room. and via our learning and prototyping.. we are now saying.. create spaces of permission, with nothing to prove, spaces per choice.. gatherings that matter.
which bleeds right into the whole idea of networked individualism.
so - how important is crap detection?
good intentions out number bad ones 20 to 1. The beauty of this logic is simple - the network magnifies good intentions exponentially faster than the bad ones - good guys and girls everywhere win.
this directly from paul hughes - but i hear danah boyd saying this quite often.. our obsession with fear mongering.
others on our obsession with cyniscism...
and now - reading kathryn schulz's being wrong.. and hearing dave cormier in my head..
who's to say what is crap and what is not..
me - messingly thinking through all this here.
