Readings: Polanyi -- The Tacit Dimension
http://garrettmd.blogspot.com/2010/07/tacit-dimension-michael-polanyi-anchor.html
In days past, I would scribble in a notebook or on a piece of paper. Now I'll trying scribbling here. Thursday, July 29, 2010. Polanyi - The Tacit Dimension. Michael Polanyi, Anchor Books, Garden City (1967). I picked up this book some years ago at some used book store. I had run across references to Polanyi, I think, when I was working on my Master's in Teaching. He was a scientist who wrote about how people solve problems, 'problem solving' in the literature. For those in the know, Stalin is synonymous...

In days past, I would scribble in a notebook or on a piece of paper. Now I'll trying scribbling here. Sunday, July 18, 2010. Lermontov - The Angel (1831). An angel was flying through midnight's deep blue,. And softly he sang as he flew;. The moon, and the clouds, and the stars in a throng. All listened: in heavenly song. He sang of the blessings of souls without sin. In the gardens of Paradise; hymns. To God the almighty he sang, and his praise. Was pure and completely unfeigned. Posted by Michael Garrett.

Readings: God. A biography -- I am written about, therefore I am.
http://garrettmd.blogspot.com/2010/03/god-biography-i-am-written-about.html
In days past, I would scribble in a notebook or on a piece of paper. Now I'll trying scribbling here. Tuesday, March 9, 2010. God A biography - I am written about, therefore I am. I wrestle with trying to extricate myself from this 'book.' Biblical scholarship points out that these writings are not to be taken literally, that it is only loosely tethered in history. I want to scream. And laugh. The point: why would anyone ever ever entertain the idea that this was actual history? I did I still do! What do...

In days past, I would scribble in a notebook or on a piece of paper. Now I'll trying scribbling here. Monday, July 18, 2011. The Having of Wonderful Ideas - The virtues of not knowing. Elanor Duckworth was once asked to distinguish between passive and nonpassive intellectual virtues. Sounds like a pretty dry exercise. What must passive.

In days past, I would scribble in a notebook or on a piece of paper. Now I'll trying scribbling here. Wednesday, January 27, 2010. Pale Fire - shallow diaphanous filth. Nabokov has open contempt for systems that dehumanize people: bureaucracies, totalitarian ape-men, Freudian psychoanalysis. Is sex the thing that drives people, hammered into acceptability by culture, creating epiphenomena we aggrandize as noble?

In days past, I would scribble in a notebook or on a piece of paper. Now I'll trying scribbling here. Sunday, July 18, 2010. Lermontov - The Rock Ledge (1841). Through the night, a golden cloud lay sleeping. On the breast of a gigantic rock ledge. In the morning, early, off she hurried;. Through the azure, carefree, she went playing. But a trace of moisture was still clinging. To the wrinkled rock ledge. Old and lonely,. He stood there as though in sad reflection—. In the empty spaces softly weeping.
