🧠 PaJamas 👀

💌 The cosiest, cuddliest, craziest personal reader ✍️

PaJamas is Tommi’s Personal Reader during the adventurous two years of the XPUB master programme. As it is with Tommi’s whole existence and practice, PaJamas is a perpetual work in progress.

Tommi’s notes are taken solely in plain text editors and Markdown files, and they are then published on their website. Therefore, the wiki is usually a bit behind and less rich of information. For more comprehensive and up-to date notes and content, please see elements of The Jam tagged with XPUB.

🎑 Adventures

This PaJamas is a key component of all Tommi’s endeavours within the two years of this master. Start exploring from those.

SI28: A_Mazing Machine[s]

Reflecting on the meaning of creativity from/through/with machines, especially for language manipulation.

I focused on Metathinking, Metaness, and going beyond tools.

SI29: Learning with gossip

How do I know what I know? How did I learn if I am so bad at following classes and I am not self-thought either?

SI30: Dwelling in the Margins

What are margins? How do they relate to borders, limits, and extremes?

Can margins be inside, within ourselves or a geographic location?

🛶 Milestones

Despite its uniquely free, collaborative, and open nature, XPUB exists within an academic context. Thus, it has its own evaluation moments, too.

However critical and hip we may be, we still inhabit a capitalist, Neo-liberal, and individualistic society. Together we are stronger, but sometimes we still find ourselves alone, paddling our own canoe against wind and waves pushing against us.

Probably nothing can more effectively wake you up to the last fibre of your physical, intellectual and nervous being. You are filled with an exhilaration. Every muscle, strung tight, answers immediately and accurately to the slightest hint. You quiver all over with restrained energy. Your mind thrusts behind you the problem of the last wave as soon as solved, and leaps with insistent eagerness to the next. It is a species of intoxication. You personify each wave; you grapple with it as with a personal adversary; you exult as, beaten and broken, it hisses away to leeward. Go it, you son of a gun you shout. Ah! you would, would you? — think you can, do you?

And in the roar and the rush of wind and water you crouch like a boxer on the defence, parrying the blows but ready at the slightest opening to gain a stroke or two of the paddle. You are too busily engaged in slaughtering waves to consider your rate of progress. The fact that slowly you arepulling up on your objective point does not occur to you until you are within a few hundred yards of it. Then don’t relax your efforts; the waves to be encountered in the last hundred yards are exactly as dangerous as those you dodge four miles from shore.

Yes — and it is just the same with a busy life.
