We all fail at some point., on the site ITP Core 2 Spring 2014 http://2014core2.commons.gc.cuny.edu/i-fail-you-fail-we-all-fail-at-some-point/#comment-1019 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 17:46:50 -0400 I mentioned in the other thread for this week, the negative connotation of failure but I’d like to point out to @Aleksandra Kaplon-Schilis ‘s post that I also feel that recognizing failure is not only a case of […]

Possibly, constructing a new phrase (maybe even the […]

However, I felt that because there wasn’t a set time that I had to be in class, I struggled […]

It makes me think of journals and diaries in a more interesting way. While technology is being developed to measure and record […]

I feel that “self” is a bit more than these recordable numbers, however, if you really boil down to mental and physical states of self, these quantifiable aspects of your […]

It is exactly what I have been getting at all class. The self is a concept and that is specifically why all of these disciplines fall short, because it is not a tangible thing to be found. […]

Even subscribing to a biologically dominated outlook on most of life, I feel that the way the HVN and Rufus May, in particular this week in our studies, address the voice hearing phenomena might be the […]

I feel there is a stark difference between the biological understanding of life and the phenomenological […]

Each character had at least more than one name […]

I kept reading it as if she was switching back and forth between the two roles of overbearing mother and the comforting-type. […]

I agree that Noe is right to attempt to combine the two, however badly he posits his […]

I wonder if our narrative selves evolved because our minds were structured to tell stories, or telling stories structured our minds in narrative sense. Interesting.

The blind person is still conscious and experiencing consciousness before the apparatus, the apparatus only serves to strengthen the detail in her perception. […]

Just because human belief structure and personalities seem complex, doesn’t mean they do not come from simplistic beginnings. Will can be ascribed to the unconscious in humans. Desires and […]

I don’t think that because the linguistic error and struggles exist that we should give up. I think we should maybe […]
