Development Unbound: Utopistic non-linearity in social projectionsJuozas Kasputis
The social sciences are deeply influenced by the success of Newtonian physics what presupposes certain linearity and reversibility in scientific reasoning. This presentation is a modest proposal to revisit scientific method in order to elaborate some alternatives.
Slowing the Two Cultures continental drift. The humanities are drifting further and further away from the realities of science and technology.Their marginalization should worry us all. I survey the current state of affairs 50 years after CP Snow's talk, and suggest how poets should retool.
Given the appearance and reappearance of this notion of transaction, interaction and communication across his writings, Dewey can be said to be an important and early contributor to discourses on “traffic” as an event and as a medium. His wide-ranging and gradually evolving thought offers an opportunity to see how various issues can be configured in terms of dynamic flow and circulation. These issues include the development of technical media that were profoundly reshaping nearly all aspects of everyday reality in Dewey’s time. Among these technical media are the railway and telephone, as well as the mass media of radio, film, newspaper and other print forms. As one would expect, Dewey frequently portrayed these as facilitating ever an ever-widening gyre in a larger, generative economy or medium.
At the same time though, Dewey was forced to address far-reaching critiques of communication in the political arena, which saw new media as distorting and blocking effective communication. In this presentation, I focus on Dewey’s remarks on media and circulation in both his 1927 book, The Public and its Problems, and in two early works, “The Primary-Education Fetich [sic]” and “Lectures vs. Recitations: A Symposium.” As McLuhan perceptively noted, “Dewey” was in effect “reacting against passive print culture [and thus] surf boarding along on the new electronic wave.” Through this examination, I show how Dewey is indeed, and perhaps unwittingly, riding along an electronic wave that was just beginning to well up in the first half of the twentieth century.
This was a slideshow I had to do for another writing class. We had to go through the texts and pick out twenty quotes to put together that made a point. I chose the idea that we all have the ability to participate as intellectuals in the community and in the classroom.

The Hope of Salvation - Jude 1:24-25 - MessageCole Hartman
Jude gives us hope at the end of a dark letter. In a dark world like today, we need the light of Christ to shine brighter and brighter. Jude shows us where to fix our focus so we can be filled with God's goodness and glory. Join us to explore this incredible passage.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

3. “Every image of the past that is not recognized by
the present as one of its own concerns threatens to
disappear irretrievably.”
—Walter Benjamin,
“Theses on the Philosophy of History”
4. “What is a piece of ‘research’? To find out, we need some idea of
what a ‘result’ might be. What does one find? What does one want to find? What is missing? In which
axiomatic field will the phenomenon be isolated, the meaning revealed, the statistical discovery placed?”
—Roland Barthes, “Writers, Intellectuals, Teachers,” The Rustle of
Language
5. “Design quality grows from intellectual quality.”
—Edward R. Tufte, Visual and Statistical Thinking: Displays of Evidence for Making Decisions
6. “The immediate source of the art work is the human
capacity for thought, as man’s ‘propensity to truck and barter’ is the source of exchange objects,
and as his ability to use is the source of use-things. These are capacities of man and not mere attributes of the human
animal like feelings, wants, and needs, to which they are related and which often constitute their content. . . . Thought is
related to feeling and transforms its mute and inarticulate despondency, as exchange transforms the naked greed of desire
and usage transforms the desperate longing of needs—until they all are fit to enter the world and to be transformed into
things, to become reified. In each instance, a human capacity which by its very nature is world-
open and communicative transcends and releases into the world a passionate intensity from
its imprisonment within the self.”
—Hannah Arendt, “The Permanence of the
World
and the Work of Art,” The Human Condition
7. “You know that poesis is more than a single
thing. For of anything whatever that passes
from not being into being the whole cause is
composing or poetry; for that the productions
of all arts are kinds of poetry, and their
craftsmen are all poets.”
—Plato, Symposium
8. “Here it becomes evident that the hallmark of the new type of
researcher is not the eye for the ‘all-encompassing whole’ or the eye for the
‘comprehensive context’ (which mediocrity has claimed for itself), but rather the capacity to
be at home in marginal domains. The men whose work is contained in this yearbook
represent the most rigorous of this new type of researcher. They are the
hope of their field of study.”
— Walter Benjamin, “The Rigorous Study of Art”
9. “This type of study stands to gain from the insight that the more
crucial the works are, the more inconspicuously and intimately their meaning-content
[Bedeutungsgehalt] is bound up with their material content [Sachgehalt]. It is concerned
with the correlation that gives rise to reciprocal illumination between, on the one hand, the
historical process and radical change and, on the other hand, the accidental, external, and
even strange aspects of the artwork. For if the most meaningful works prove
to be precisely those whose life is most deeply embedded in their
material contents . . . then over the course of their historical
duration these material contents present themselves to the
researcher all the more clearly the more they have disappeared
from the world.”
— Walter Benjamin, “The Rigorous Study of Art”
10. “It is the very productions of science, technology and social relations
which will drift towards aesthetic paradigms. . . . Today our societies have
their backs up against the wall; to survive they will have to
develop research, innovation and creation still further--the
very dimensions which imply an awareness of the strictly aesthetic
techniques of rupture and suture.”
—Felix Guattari, “Chaosmosis: An Ethico-Aesthetic Paradigm”
11. "Theory is the connecting force of intra-human
relationships, to which we owe the production of information. The
political wolves shred this information into pieces, and the economic
sheep consume it, but in a theoretical space they will always be
dialogically threaded anew.”
—Vilém Flusser, Writings
12. "The dichotomy between seeing the truth in solitude and remoteness and being
caught in the relationships and relativities of human affairs became
authoritative for the tradition of political thought. It is expressed most forcefully
in Plato's parable of the cave, and one is therefore somehow tempted to see its
origin in the Platonic doctrine of ideas. Historically, however, it was not
dependent upon an acceptance of this doctrine, but depended much more upon
an attitude which Plato expressed only once, almost casually in a random
remark, and which Aristotle later quoted in a famous sentence of Metaphysics
almost verbatim, namely that the beginning of all philosophy is thaumasein,
the wonder at everything that is as it is. More than
anything else, Greek 'theory' is the prolongation and Greek philosophy the
articulation and conceptualization of this initial wonder. To be capable
of
it is what separates the few from the many, and
to remain devoted to it is what alienates them from the
affairs of men.”
—Hannah Arendt, "What Is Authority?"
13. “In the end, our society will be defined not only by what we create, but by
what we refuse to destroy.”
—John C. Sawhill, epigraph to E.O. Wilson’s The Future of Life
14. "Images are not to be studied in pieces. An image is, in
fact, an integrating force. It converges the most diverse
impressions, impressions arising from all of the senses.
Only under these conditions does an image acquire the
stamp of sincerity and carry one's whole being
along with it.”
—Gaston Bachelard, "Preface (For Two Volumes):
The Imagination in Matter and in Word," Earth and Reveries of Will
15. “[T]he sense of an object for me goes only so far as my senses go (has only
sense for a sense corresponding to that object)—for this reason the senses of
the social man are other senses than those of the non-social man. . . .
The forming of the five senses is
a labor of the entire history of the
world down to the present.”
—Karl Marx, Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844
16. “Two thousand years after Plato wrote it seems as if not only the
gods but the wise have abandoned us, and left us alone with our partial knowledge and our ignorance. What is left to us in
the place of the wise is their writings, in their glinting brilliance and their increasing obscurity. They still lay in more or less
accessible editions; they can still be read, if only one knew why one should bother. It is their fate—to stand in silent
bookshelves, like posted letters no longer collected, sent to us by authors, of whom we no longer knew whether or not they
could be our friends. . . .
Perhaps it occasionally happens that in such researches in the dead cellars of culture the long-ignored texts begin to

suggests that archivists have become the successors of the
humanists. For the few who still peer around in those archives, the
realization is dawning that our lives are the confused answer to
questions which were asked in places we have forgotten.”

Response to the Letter on Humanism,” Environment and
Planning D: Society and Space
