                      • Reflections:

                      Jessica: Favorite part is the idea that if we think we know something, that leads to despair sometimes. The release of admitting we don’t know everything is a source of hope.

                      Jacob: Feeling like I’m known personally and professionally is important to me, but being known in a deterministic way resonated with me.

                      Artemis: The Bob Marley principle that was mentioned. Thinking about that philosophy connects with the ideas we talked about. When you realize all the intelligence that is out there, thinking of how small you are. If we can lose our mind and come back to our senses and see that we are part of this fabric, we’re not really all that different.

                      Miko: “You can’t fool all the people all the time.” It is a way of connecting with the world of limitation.
