Two separate conversations sent me to #EdwardTufte's #BeautifulEvidence of the last day. P.161 had me thinking of #ConwaysLaw and #GoodTeaching for years. This page sent me to #McKeachies that gave me two more ideas to chew on: #GestaltPsychology's #DavidKatz's #MentalDazzle and #ThresholdConcepts for choosing what to teach while attempting a Minimalist Program....

The text on the wired page is missing some characters: readable but odd!

How can you do #PowerPoint type presentations after seeing #EdwardTufte's #BeautifulEvidence, especially the bottom part of page 181...

I'm trying to see if #Anki and #AnkiWeb can work as a help, rival, or replacement for #DuoLingo . There's something about the "Good Job!" animations that makes me think of #AlfieKohn and how rewards are bad for learning. Thinking of privacy issues and advertising revenue also disturb the learning. I get distracted with thought of #EdwardTufte in #BeautifulEvidence talking about how "The #EthicalValues of #Teachers differ from those involved in #marketing ." p 161

@clacke I didn't know anything about a Swedish invasion. Thanks! Thanks to #EdwardTufte 's #BeautifulEvidence where he introduces the "greatest anti-war poster" by #Minard . It is about Napolean's #invasion . I think a search for Minard years ago showed that he did a similar poster of #Hannibal going from #Spain to #Italy that I'm just reading deeply about now.

Why some people in #Russia might be concerned about #Nato (Controlled by #Germany and #France more than #Greece I guess, not to mention the #USA ) expanding to their borders... It wasn't just the Nazis that invaded and killed millions before leaving in frozen defeat. #EdwardTufte in #BeautifulEvidence says #Minard made the best #antiwar #poster ever. #PaulGoodman in #PacifistFilms says plain documentaries are good, scenes of extreme bloody cruelty just make us think we all deserve to die...

And you wonder why Russia might be a little nervous about Western Europe (or NATO and the USA) moving in, on, and around the Ukraine...
