This week we had a consensus! Well almost. 2 ways of considering language and our experience of life, the multiverse and everything (Karl, does it matter if the multi is hyphenated - ?)
By the way, I found my Thurs group inspired lyrics - they were " how can you find spirituality in the virtual world" you will need to join me and Boris for a Jam next Thurs lunchtime to hear the full song. The inspiration has been reading 1984 again and watching the movie "network" 1976. Before Helen left, I asked her what her favourite movie was and her first response was "network" it's full of good TOK " I want you to get mad" and " I am an angry prophet denouncing the hypocracies of our time " Semyen, you must have seen this?
Anyways--- consensus. Oh, in case your already bored. Stay here.. look
Theres nothing in it so don't look back! Honestly I learnt a lot/ was reminded of a lot today and yesterday!
Thoughtfish:
Consensus: Our reality is either defined by our language (liguistic determinism) OR our reality is pure and real and the language comes afterwards when necessary (linguistic realism). I think by the way, maybe some of you should begin a wiki group for CAS. Its definitely Service hours and global.
During the exercise on Thurs we listed the 15 words that had to be kept in the dictionary at all cost. We had good debate about the word "God". I would not put the word in my list because I had the word "chance" there. Does this deserve further debate? Now, if any of you just stood up and then forgot why, Boris has a word for that!
Great thinking this week all. See you next week.
p.s. check on ultimatefrizbee at youtube Joeys Thesaurus, interview with Steven Pinker and Osho explaining why word number 14 on my list is the most versatile in the English language.
