Living in Two Worlds (LTW)
Onepager
What is written on the cap? "P" or "d"? How do you know?
WHAT
- A model of “HOW WE KNOW” called “Living in Two Worlds”
- A diagram of the model’s elements and connections
- Elements: Physical world, Logical world and Attentional system
- Connections: from Attention to both worlds and from here to Attention
- In the Logical world distinguish ACTIVE and PASSIVE thought
- Descriptions of the elements and connections
- Descriptions of daily life situations seen in terms of the model
WHY
- Propose a new way to look at obsessive thoughts
- Contribute to a creative and responsible way of life
- Contribute to overcome learning obstacles, avoid that young people think: “I am not clever enough”
- Help in clarifying the misunderstandings about the constructivist view of how we know
- In particular: make clear from the start that in constructivism there is no denial of the physical world; in fact, here it is part of the model
HOW
- First draft of the model with the 3 elements connected: similar to the viability model diagram
- New: distinction ACTIVE/PASSIVE thought in the LOGICAL world
- Describe the processes and implications of this model
- Explore ways to describe some simple, common, daily life situations in terms of the model: use bestsellers (like “The Secret”) for finding ideas about such situations
- Add more details (categorization, triads, correlations, etc.) when needed
- During the development process, publish the results in a blog even if they are still provisional; this will provide a kind of journal (diary) of the project; in social media put links to the blog
- Get feedback from friends and answer to their comments & questions
- Perform Q&A sessions with a person interested in the subject “How we know”: the topics of the sessions will follow Ceccato’s lessons transcribed in his book “Il Punto”: from these Q&A get inspiration for further developing the model.
- Record the Q&A sessions and publish them as a course on a suitable MOOC platform adding appropriate comments and resources
- To be defined and estimated later: workpackages and resources (duration, personnel expenses and other costs)
WHO
- Project lead: Marco Bettoni
- Contributors: Marco's friends. Tasks: read the project output during the development process, give feedback (comments, questions), get answers as adaptations or extensions of the model
- Partner of project “Punto”: a friend from Ukraine. Tasks: same like the other friends, additionally participate in Q&A sessions with project lead
