Empowered parents
The document outlines 10 rules for homes and provides scenarios to illustrate their application. It argues parents should point children to biblical truth rather than personal authority. When conflicts arise, parents unintentionally undermine each other and don't allow children to learn from struggles.

Internalizing responsibility through rule-following helps children develop identity and character.

Using Picturebooks to Expand Perception
The document discusses how picture books can be used to expand people's perceptions. It provides examples of picture books that can influence perception based on emotions, viewing things as parts versus wholes, length of observation, and sequence of observation. Some key picture books mentioned include The Dot, Duck! Rabbit!, and Black and White. The document also provides discussion questions and activities that can accompany each book to help readers understand how their own and others' perceptions may change.
Architectural arcadia
The document provides a series of reflections on walls and architecture. It discusses how walls have historically been used to separate and define spaces, but argues they create an illusion of containment and separation. The reflections suggest walls limit how people experience and move through spaces. The document advocates for an architecture without walls that allows people to experience space with their whole bodies and in a more fluid, interconnected way.
Social, change and communities final presentation
This document discusses concepts of space and place through the perspectives of various scholars. It defines key terms, such as place having location, locale, and sense of place. Space is seen as possibility while place represents pause or meaning. The document examines how place is perceived through senses and embodiment, and how identity intersects with perceptions of self and other. Community and concepts like gemeinschaft are also reviewed in relation to sustainable development approaches like New Urbanism.
Design, schools & lots of mythopoetics
The document discusses using narratives and communities as a way to teach design. It provides examples of mythopoetic design schools from the past and present that use powerful narrative schemes to disseminate knowledge, such as the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College. The author's team has been working on a new narrative-based educational model adapted for the digital age focusing on online and offline community learning. They provide examples of their projects including Design Royale, an experimental 2011 project, and others that aim to build communities for sharing knowledge and influencing others.
Beyond Flesh and Code: Exploring The Future of Humanity and AI
If you enjoy our books, you may like this: https://youtu.be/Tn3fg_EPlhU?si=L7RX_8wlD4A5MmJe
Beyond Flesh and Code is a captivating book that explores the possibilities and consequences of humans transcending biological limitations through technology. It takes readers on an imaginative journey that merges science fiction with profound philosophical and ethical questions about the nature of existence.
The book is structured in two sections, each unraveling thought-provoking ideas about the future evolution of humanity. The first section, "Synthesis: The Evolution Beyond Human," delves into the concept of transferring human consciousness into synthetic or digital forms to eliminate suffering and limitations. It examines the potential benefits of synthetic humans, including virtual immortality, enhanced cognition, the eradication of disease, greater collaboration to solve global issues, and an elevated state of consciousness.
However, this visionary future also raises challenging ethical dilemmas about identity, mortality, the sanctity of life, and what it means to be human. The author explores philosophical, moral, and practical concerns surrounding synthetic existence. For instance, how would personhood and individuality be defined? What criteria would determine who gets to transcend biology? Could this divide humanity further between the privileged synthetic elite and ordinary humans? How would fundamental human experiences like birth, aging, and death be transformed?
These philosophical musings are grounded in scientific possibilities, describing how advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, neural networks, and complex simulations of consciousness might enable the creation of synthetic humans. Intriguing parallels are drawn with religious ideas of transcendence and transhumanist visions of using technology to overcome physical limitations.
The second section, "The Illusion: Simulation, Programming, Limits," ventures into more speculative territory, contemplating the notion that our perceived reality is an artificial construct subject to deliberate constraints and manipulation. Humans are portrayed as programmed entities in a simulated existence, but some individuals begin to see beyond this veil and realize the illusory nature of their lives.
The book explores the premise that humanity lives in a controlled environment created by an advanced intelligence. Our senses are limited, our cognition is constrained, and our collective history shaped by intentional interventions. Phenomena such as déjà vu, synchronicities, UFO sightings and spiritual experiences are analyzed as possible glitches in the simulation, providing fleeting glimpses behind the veil.

Greene public education public space_eps
This document discusses the lack of a shared public space and common world in modern society. It argues that faith in public schools and consensus around their purpose has eroded. People are withdrawing into private enclaves and special interest groups rather than engaging in public life. The media has filled the vacuum by manipulating images and presenting an impersonal, technical language that alienates ordinary people. This has drained meaning from public discourse. The document calls for exploring how public education can help bring an authentic public space and significant common world back into being.

This document is the transcript of an inaugural lecture given by Prof. Caroline Hummels on September 28, 2012 at Eindhoven University of Technology. In the lecture, Hummels discusses the need for societal transformation to address major challenges and her vision of using technology and design to embrace embodiment and enable transformation. She outlines five implications of a phenomenological design approach, including that designing is about creating opportunities for meaning to arise through interaction, exploring new territories through prototyping, and opening up the abstract to the sensorial through intuition and making.
