All right, welcome to Arts and Ideas in the air, under the tent, and around Baltimore.
0:07
Today we had a bit of a cold morning.
0:09
I made a poor choice in wearing shorts at the time.
0:14
I was quite cold, it was very windy.
0:16
But the afternoon has warmed up beautifully, and now it's a nice breeze, and it's just
0:22
gorgeous out here under the tent.
0:24
That's really lovely, everybody.
0:27
Let's see, today we had our first article club.
0:31
It was a great discussion on building a peace narrative.
0:40
We had people who enjoyed the article and some people quibbled with it, and it was a
0:46
very lively discussion.
0:48
Next week we will be doing Asimov's Profession.
0:52
It's just a short 40 pages.
0:55
But it's a fun one.
0:58
Here's a couple of lines from it.
1:01
For most of the first 18 years of his life, George Platten had had it firmly in one direction,
1:08
that of registered computer programmer.
1:10
There were those in his crowd who spoke wisely of spatio-nautics, refrigeration technology,
1:15
transportation control, and even administration.
1:18
But George held firm.
1:21
Sounds exciting, right?
1:23
It's awesome.
1:24
Phil really loves this article, and we hope you all can read it and join us on next Friday.
1:35
And let's see, what else we got?
1:42
Today actually felt kind of a bit quiet.
1:46
I don't know, it might be this somber mood.
1:49
But it is Friday, it is farewell Friday, where we say goodbye to the week.
1:55
It was a great week, a lot of firsts.
1:59
First school meeting with a team, first JC with a team, first article club, just a lot
2:09
of firsts.
2:10
I'm looking forward to the first day in which there are no firsts.
2:14
I'm not entirely sure when that will happen, because it's kind of a contradiction, but
2:19
it'll be exciting.
2:21
I'm getting a little puzzled looks from the audience, but it'll happen.
2:28
I also wanted to mention, Ashley has been posting a bunch of photos on Instagram.
2:36
So if you haven't checked them out, go check them out.
2:39
They are at Instagram, with the username AI_Sudbury.
2:46
I can let you figure out why that username was chosen.
2:49
It's exciting.
2:51
Unfortunately, to see all the pictures and posts, you need to have an account and log
2:55
in.
2:56
But I'm sure all you crazy kids out there already have an Instagram account.
3:00
I know it's a little bit old fashioned, a little bit ancient and antique, probably at
3:04
this point.
3:05
But you should see what I'm on.
3:08
All right.
3:10
Anyway, let's see, I think we have our online clerk here to tell us about Monday's events.
3:17
Josh, take it away.
3:19
Indeed, James, I am here, because I am on Discord, it is obligatory that I do say, "James,
3:26
can you hear me?"
3:27
Yes, I can hear you just fine, but can the recording hear you?
3:30
Well, you won't hear until later.
3:34
Good.
3:35
So, yeah, I also am sad about the weekend coming.
3:44
Had a great time with online schooling in this past week and had some of the firsts
3:51
that James was talking about and wanted to make sure that I mentioned one more first
3:57
that's coming up on Monday.
4:00
Another reason, just can't wait for the weekend to be over.
4:04
And on Monday at 1130, after announcements, Harrison is going to be hosting his first
4:12
Minecraft Monday building event.
4:16
So if you are interested in that, please check out Discord to find that information.
4:22
It will be announced on Monday.
4:26
Also on Monday at 1 o'clock, there is the discussion portion of the History Seminar.
4:34
So if you came to the lecture on Wednesday, Monday is your opportunity to critique either
4:43
one of the two lectures that we had, one from Declan on the Haitian Revolution and one from
4:49
me about bicycles and the US Civil War.
4:55
So yeah, looking forward to doing that with you on Monday and yeah, back to you, James.
5:01
All right.
5:02
Thank you, Josh.
5:03
So on Monday, if you're interested, a little bit of Minecraft building competition and
5:09
some historical discussions or discussions of history or something along those lines.
5:15
All right.
5:16
That sounds fantastic.
5:17
Well, I hope you all have some great plans for the weekend.
5:21
I know it doesn't compare to being here, so let's all have to keep it clear in our thoughts
5:26
and know it's just the two short days until we're back here under the tent and around
5:32
Baltimore in the air.
5:35
And happy Rosh Hashanah.
5:38
Happy Rosh Hashanah.
5:40
All right.
5:42
See you all next week.
5:43
Bye-bye.
