  1. > What I needed was imagination to shore up the facts, the data, and not be overwhelmed by them. Imagination that personalized information, made it intimate, but didn’t offer itself as a substitute. If imagination could be depended on for that, then there was the possibility of knowledge. Wisdom, of course, I would leave alone, and rely on the readers to produce that.

  2. > ... we do not develop a mind by giving it more facts but by helping it to judge relevance. It is relevance which tells us which meanings belong with which, and in what configurations, for a valid interpretation. The way to strengthen a sense of relevance is by exercising it with simpler problems rather than by adding elaborations.

  3. I'm trying to get better about putting upcoming events on a Mobizilon group page. Untill now I've mostly put up announcements about the events the day after. The form never lets me set the time for the event though. The start and end times are always for the hour that starts after you start working on the form. My work around is putting the right time in the title of the event.
