Half-Assets Educating

Dear Colleagues ATC,
 
"No, no, you’re not thinking;
          you’re just being logical. "
                                        Neils Bohr
 
     May we try to speak out of 3 sides
             our mouth, if not at once,
                 in sequence then? 

                 The 2 Ecologies
 ( half-assets: a curriculum only emphasizing 1 )

 
  Liberal Art                       Liberal Arts
Constellating                      GettingRDone 
Ruminating                     Assessing/Evaluating
Contemplating                     Implementing 
Speculating                           Regulating    
Imagining                           Administering
Meditating                            Planning
Praying                                Advising
Stochasticizing                  Inventory-ing            
Accessing the                    Sustaining the
Random                              Order.    
 
      2 Economies (Value Sets.)
Imagine a curriculum that privileged
only one.  Half-asset capability. True?
A pity.
 
The 2 are radically opposed realms,
hostile and incommensurate. If you
put them in the same room, so to
speak  one will conflate, collapse
and contaminate the other.
 
Can you say which one?  Say. 
Turn it up. Say it loud. Say it clear.
Which is BOSS across  the curriculum?
 
No wonder..  
 
Do I repeat myself?
I am large. I contain pulchritude
 
       My Mission Impossible
To build Ice Cream Parlors in Hell
& do no injustice to Hot or Cold.   
 

(Not Just-Being-Logical here.
  Thinking going on & on. )
 
xxxooo, Sam
