Comments on Martinelli:<\/p>\n
Remarkable that he spent so much time devoted to learning math even though that’s not what he wanted to do, he only did it so that he could eventually design a better airplane.<\/p>\n
Cool that all he wanted to do was make a better airplane. So simple, yet so complex.<\/p>\n
Reading discussion:<\/p>\n

Motorcycle references
\n\u2022 Adjustment of the air fuel ratio as altitude increased. Air thins as altitude increased, ratio had to be adjusted accordingly
\n\u2022 Backfiring on 125, related to air fuel mixture (becomes to rich and hydrocarbons pop)
\n\u2022 132, a priori motorcycle<\/p>\n
\u2022 128
\n\u25cb A priori
\n\u25cb The motorcycle he is riding is full of sensations that he is perceiving of the world around him
\n\u25cb Is there a difference between that and the concept of the motorcycle that lays in his mind
\n\u2022 Looking at the dame object from different angles changes perspective, but when you have an understanding of the whole it becomes a different view of the same thing
\n\u2022 A priori means inherent within yourself, from birth
\n\u25cb “A Priori motorcycle” is perhaps disingenuous
\n\u2022 The idea he’s driving is that is that he has a conceptual view of what a motorcycle is, separate from the sensory experience
\n\u2022 If you have a concept of what a motorcycle is then there are things that you look for, but if you were just observing the sensory experience there will be things that you miss.
\n\u2022 Understanding of the whole influences the perspective and experience
\n\u2022 There are only two true a priori concepts: Time and Space<\/p>\n
\u2022 Betty Edwards, Neuroscientist and artist
\n\u25cb Drawing on the left side of the brain (book)
\n\u25cb Has people draw a face from a picture she puts on the wall
\n\u25cb She then turns the picture upside down and has them copy
\n\u25cb She finds that untrained artists are way better at copying things upside down than from right side up
\n\u25cb Because we are more accurate when we do things separately from our previous understanding of them
\n\u2022 Example of Copernicus
\n\u25cb Sensory experience didn’t change, but his understanding of the way planets moved did change<\/p>\n

\n\u2022 Duise returns, she was more so a figure from Phaedrus’s life and not his, she knows Phaedrus, not him
\n\u2022 Interesting to see the character development
\n\u25cb The author is coming closer to Phaedrus and steadily developing over the course of the trip
\n\u2022 139, perspective of technology
\n\u25cb The Sutherlands fear the technology, while the narrator embraces it
\n\u2022 Two completely different attitudes toward technology with the same understanding (zero)

\n\u2022 Whenever there is an outside force that dictates what you are allowed to do, it significantly limits what you are able to do
\n\u25cb Complete independence is therefore almost impossible
\n\u2022 Such a high level of isolation established environment
\n\u2022 Environment influences experience
\n\u25cb Collegiate gothic architecture inspires excellence
\n\u2022 There are benefits to isolation, but breaking out is necessary
\n\u2022 Space can be very inspiring and can have a big impact on your perspective
\n\u25cb Connection to the history of a space can be important
\n\u2022 We often desire to maintain a certain perspective, and that dictates what we do
\n\u2022 Regulations imposed upon us significantly limit the autonomy that we have
\n\u2022 It’s very important to have a space that is safe and conducive to learning and community, but perhaps past a certain point it is futile<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
