The 365 Commitment

Blog 121 – Results Earned

Woo hoo! Milestone reached. By adding two pushups and pullups a week, I have slowly and incrementally increased my capability in doing these. I’m now past the 100 pushups and 50 pullups milestone.

My goal now is to complete the pushups with 4 sets of 25 with less than 1 minute rest between sets. And, 5 sets of 10 for the pullups with less than one minute rest between sets. This means focusing on getting those reps and timimg. Pushing for small incremental improvement is the key.

It feels good to achieve these results after 128 days of daily commitment. I look less wimpy for sure !I will continue with this habit! Slow and steady wins the race.

Onward!

The author contends that AI’s proliferation forces education to return to its core purpose—actual teaching and fostering cognitive development—rather than merely verifying compliance.

Day 353 – les Lumières

Immanuel Kant’s 1784 essay, “What is enlightenment?” marked the end of an era, much like we might be at the cusp of a new one today. The Enlightenment, characterized by reason and a departure from superstition, was known as *les Lumières* by the French and *Aufklärung* by the Germans. We are now entering an “Age of Knowledge” where access to information is ubiquitous, shifting the focus from acquiring knowledge to exercising judgment.
