Is it right to say that mass surveillance _causes_ the silencing? It seems t
I have told some of you about my grandson, who wants to be a film editor.
I arranged for him to meet with the undergraduate adviser in the College of
Fine Arts at Carnegie Mellon. Among other things that man told him that he
could get credit for certain courses at the Pittsburgh Filmmakers

I can't imagine why you would confuse this with a liberal education. We
have endless war and a global militarization of our governance structures.

Relevant to what? Certainly not to becoming a film editor.
He probably got good advice at the Filmmakers Institute. I have a couple of
close friends whose children married aspiring film editors and writers. The

They told us at Carnegie when I was a freshman that the purpose of our
education was not to get a job. That was in 1961; perhaps times have
changed.
As you know, my grandson went to Emerson and didn't like it.

Awareness of being observed by peers and your social group absolutely
inhibits the expression of non-conforming behavior. Anyone who has lived
in a small town – where everybody knows everybody else and where
individual behavior is observed by so many others who can report that
behavior to parents
Hi, everybody,
I have a granddaughter on vacation who is showing some interest in maths.
We have been fooling around with graph paper, you know, "the squaw upon the
hippopotamus is equal to the suns of the squaw's on the other two hides",
etc., and playing race track on graph paper (which didn

As usual, I like the way you think, even if I might not agree with you!
I think that Mass Surveillance (caps or not) is crafted (among other
things) *to* silence many voices, but as you so aptly point out, it
depends on our ability to be intimidated (if not specifically to
"conform" a

Following on to Dave's thoughts on the relationship between anonymity and
freedom to express non-conforming opinions or behaviors, we can liken those
vehicles with totally blackened windows that allow some of their drivers to
have their basic, innate rudeness travel with them with impunity and

Interesting! The common thread in both your responses seems to lie in
consideration of consequences. The contradiction between Dave's suggestion
that pressure to conform might disappear when with strangers (which we see on
the internet in spades) and Steve's (and the article's) idea that a p

Thanks, Russ,
I appreciate the help.
Myself, I never got the "primary directive" of the calculus, or whatever it
is called (that integration is the inverse of differentiation) until I
graphed it.
I hope you are well,
