Wed-Extend: p.99 “...result reflects not their personal beliefs but only the inescapable mental residue of the round-Earthers’ constant propaganda efforts.” Wow, substitute whatever you want for round-Earthers and you get our media saturated state of affairs #T3Learns #slowchat

Tues prompt #T3Learns #slowchat #Blindspot - Haven’t sorted out all connections, but many bells going off in my head as I read due to reading Gladwell (Talking to Strangers & Blink) and Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari

[Levi Straight @straightupmath]

Mon prompt #T3Learns #slowchat Blindspot p.10 “.. a small change in language can produce a consequential change in what is remembered, ..” thinking of media portrayal and negative language used reporting crimes on people of color; how students affected.

Anyone catch #T3IC 2020 keynote speaker Derrick Pitts @CoolAstronomer on NOVA Wed. night? Dropped some knowledge about Jupiter!

[Levi Straight @straightupmath]

@HowWeTeach @Gladwell I’ve had many points through our slow chat book Blindspot just in chapter 1 where I flashed to Talking to Strangers which I finished about a month ago. They go well together
