“I’m looking at you, looking at me, looking at you”

Emersion - (in a practical sense) give it at least 15 minutes everyday.

According to Gilbert Simondon Individuation means …

Learning takes place through:
Reflection - serious thought or consideration
A fixing of the thoughts on something; careful consideration.
A thought occurring in consideration or meditation.

Imagination (images) - a “felt” experience, inner child
What is “How you see the world” ? Answer: What is the image in your mind.

As we do this we become a society.

BUS 345 - Business in Society
Notes #2 9/17/2019

“Maximizing your return for your money”
“When you’re entering the fishbowl you’re entering the gym...exercising your mind and looking at yourself and the last sentence you’ve written”
→ Operating: your eyes, yourself (your mind) & your writing

Forming a society

Connectivity is BIG
Learning how to connect … will happen in my head - through the exchange of symbols
With each other, this class, the other class
Making a commitment to read every text of my group member
Writing your words for the sake of the group - to add value to by carefully selecting words

We live symbolic lives - nothing exists outside words

Restructuring creates value

Creating knowledge through divisions and subdivisions
creating your own reality (knowledge) when you experience live
Sustaining each other's life → by selecting words and adding to each other

*Focus when entering fishbowl*
Distraction - i'm not slowing down im not focusing and i'm not selecting my words nor substituting them to create value
entering to create value for 2 other people

Differences are realized in our mental structures - want to get at that
Selection of words - differences in the words we selected
Connect across these differences

Social Meeting Exercise:
Pre-individual
Notes written out before the meeting
Ethnographic notes
Open ended , social - not talking about class
Writing out what happened - conversation & physical
Circle (6) words from notes
concepts & symbols
Pairing words into (3) pairs - dichotomy
Unrelated / opposite words
Creating simple sentences from words (3) - abstract sentences
Short paragraph under each describing social meeting
“Creating history as possibility” - Paolo Ferreilla

Nuance of meaning

Do not want to copy someone else - to experience it for yourself
