[…] And neither will lack of knowledge — if, that is, you respect the kind that you yourself generate. Knowledge isn’t just something people give you in school; it’s something you can and do produce on your own; it emerges from experience. But you don’t pay it any notice or respect when it comes from you, because you respect nothing that comes out of you; whether from the front of the body or the back, it’s all just crap to you. Yet as soon as some bimbo who can enunciate reads it to you and it’s called “news”, suddenly you respect it. And this is why you’re forced to read and hear people like me telling you your own good ideas … […]

[…] Immersion is a crazy idea. But I don’t think it’s an idea that few people have had; I think many people have had the idea, but only a relative few have been mad enough, Glaswegian-accented enough — Spartan enough — to try it. Turn all your TV and movies and music and computing devices and websites Japanese? It’s kind of insane in its brutally straightforward logic: all Japanese people (and non-Japanese people) who are good at Japanese have been and remain exposed to Japanese; I want to be good at Japanese; I will expose myself to Japanese to the same extent as them. But it works and then people think you’re a genius and accuse you of having a genetic talent — a “gift”. From whom? We don’t know. And why do these gifts seem to have to be worked for? Conveniently, we don’t know. […]

It’s a text-based multi-player strategy web browser game. Think ‘Risk’, but instead of countries, the players use squares. It has a lot of inspiration from Tron and Afro Samurai sprinkled throughout.

This is a great reminder. It’s easy to get bogged down with, ‘how will I deal with such and such when I cross that bridge?’, but you shouldn’t let that stop you from doing what you can do now! bit.ly/VYHGs8

I had to read this very liberating post twice to really get the meaning ^^” I’ve been thinking of switching up my Japanese system, so I think I just may do that now! 🙂

(I tend to bounce around a lot in Japanese when things get boring, allowing myself to be spontaneous and random…however, I’ve been reading more and more that distraction actually leads to boredom, and not the other way around. Maybe a more focused approach is what I need..)
