Word of the Week

Occhiolism

n. the awareness of the smallness of your perspective, by which you couldn’t possibly draw any meaningful conclusions at all, about the world or the past or the complexities of culture, because although your life is an epic and unrepeatable anecdote, it still only has a sample size of one, and may end up being the control for a much wilder experiment happening in the next room.

I think that this is one of those emotions that being in simple state of mind or somber state of mind it just naturally comes to someone. I like finding words that describe complex emotions or feelings that someone may feel at one point in time.

Has anyone else gone through this feeling as well? I think this is one of the most unique I have found so far.

Initial Thoughts of IS101

Hi Guys,

IS101 is something that it is very exciting to do, looking at a lot of the lessons that we have here is very refreshing to some things that I currently do at the moment as well. There is so much more things are of interest like the MOS Contest and being able to be around others and learn together is very exciting to do!

It is surprising and overwhelming to know how many things that we do everyday have so much effect to our lives that we do and don't take into consideration. I feel that IS101 will bring that information up and learning new perspectives and knowledge will help with knowing the way and the reason behind the way things work and why they work that way.
