Another insightful Delicious post, and the dream is the icing on the cake. Actually, some neuroscientists do believe that dreaming is a time when we consolidate memories, and so advise against all-nighters when preparing for exams and such.

I was a little surprised by the direction of discussion of the story. Or was I missing something? It seemed like we mostly discussed the story from a narrative standpoint, focusing on the characters’ feelings about their life on Kimon, Selden’s inner struggle, etc. and didn’t really address the whole Kimonians as a metaphor for new media / free knowledge as much.

Although “it seems obvious” that immersion would work in all fields of study, I think we would run into problems actually putting this into practice. Take philosophy for example…I think it would be far better to have a knowledge of previous philosophers and what has already been said than to sit and think and come up with ideas that have already been done before. It would be better simply to expand on what we have learned (immersion would also prove difficult in higher level math courses)…I think that our education system provides a basic foundation needed for future comprehension and thought. leaving people to learn without grades or teachers would put trust in their personal motivation for knowledge- not something the general population has a whole lot of.

…I believe we had a conversation similar to this earlier in the semester. I think your project would be more interesting if you learned about and reported on a different social bookmarking website. Also, I’m not sure if you’ve looked at the social bookmarking page on Wikipedia or not, but it seems that it would help you out- especially the advantages and disadvantages sections.
