Tom Hemingway (themingway)'s Public Profile in the Diigo Community

I manage special projects and help coordinate the IB Diploma Programme at a large Turkish private school in Ankara, Turkey, and am an occasional provocateur for integrating web 2.0 tools in education.

I use Diigo because I can annotate, highlight, and look at the faces of people I'm sharing my bookmarks with.

Member since Sep 11, 2006, follows 29 people, 6 public groups, 2440 public bookmarks (2557 total).

  Finally settling into the new house. Working on essays about problems when using second languages with native speakers.

- ou suck as a specialist; you’re not evolved to be one. Your meat wants you to pay attention to what’s around you, what’s inside you, the top part and the bottom part and the inside part. Your head keeps dragging you back into meandering daydreams. Your heart keeps making your head change, from day to day, subjecting your mythical “rational” mind to physiological buffets modern life doesn’t even have nonpathological descriptions for
- All these things you look at, in your role of the “imaginary” generalist in my experiment; all these roses you stop to smell, these friends who interrupt you with demands, these places you go and things you see and people you meet. They are delays of what? Of you?
  
  In what way am I delayed by paying attention to more, different, inarguably interesting stuff? Gratifying stuff?
- 3 more annotations...
- - You are a link. That’s the point. You’re not watching the world, you’re part of the world. In it. And better yet: you’re the part of the world that links these things together..
  - A generalist has no more time or attention than any other person. She doesn’t see the whole of the world all as being the same, as being proof of something.
    
    She slices the world in a different direction. Along a different axis, a personal axis.
  - The specialist avoids what distracts, and for so many people the worst distraction is the thing that connotes meaning. When you specialize, you must not seek more questions; you seek answers.
