In one of your last open mics you talked about the difference between length and distance in relativity. This video of Brian Cox reminds me of that…

Also I remember seeing an exhibition at the Ontario Art Gallery of Thomson model ships. And thinking how looking at them shrinks the world and the activities of humans to be able to measure the ‘length’ of the earth:

Bonnitta: it was wonderful to see how Samuel made your work SO accessible and offered up the multitude of ways teaching aides could be produced. Very impressive. I shared my excitement with a friend who is involved with the development of several ‘ag regenerative’ projects… she asked if i had Samuel’s contact information. Is it possible to share his contact info?

Thank you, Samuel! I did pass this info along to friend, Laura. This was her response:

“Hi. Ideally more info from Samuel. I don’t know Samuel’s contact info to DM. I might be able if I joined and looked for him in Bonnie’s new thing.”

Thoughts Samuel?

So exciting to see your work in one place. Thanks to everyone involved!!

My feeling about the AI: as long as it is true to your (Bonnitta's) work Im ok with it. If it helps me process the information, then all the better. It would be interesting to see where it diverges if at all. Maybe the AI filter will become clearer for what it actually is. Ala Samuel's pattern printer. IE A kind of intellectual stamp of the academic convention of organizing information. And a pattern printer of human conversational (podcasting) convention. I feel like I can filter that out, to hear what Bonnitta is saying and maybe listening will help to create other connections to the topics.

A possible bridge for Phoebe. The AI generated conversion isn't much different than reading. When reading you provide the voice for yourself, with AI audio the voice is provided for you. You still get to maintain your healthy skepticism and internal dialog analysis of the content.
