Morning Meeting
Today we worked on our web page and gave feedback towards the people who had already a draft. Alejo and I worked in the about category and received feedback to improve it, and I think it is turning out very pretty.
Today Carmen and Kata are doing their vow of silence, Lore was going to be also part of it but she excused herself for not coming until later on in the day because she is not feeling alright and the doctor sent her to do some exams.
We received a message from Roberto Blum that he wasn't going to be able to come to our dialogue in GEB, so we decided at 9:00 since not everyone finished reading the chapter that we should use that time to finish reading and prepare for On Dialogue conversation.

On Dialogue
So apparently everybody came prepared to the dialogue and everyone is ready to open up the conversation. It feels so good to be in an environment where everybody is engaged and are giving their all in their work, it shows commitment and interest in our discussion.
So we gave emphasis to what Bohm is trying to tell us by implicit and explicit order and how we can apply that to our dialogues. One order is an order which we create and the other which we belong to. His main concern and advise is to create an environment of emptiness where nothing is occupying you, there would be nothing but your questions to guide you along the conversation where you can connect ideas and you are suspending your assumptions. He is giving us a fact that we can go beyond our consciousness, we just need to create the environment. Society is not an objective reality. It is a reality created by all the people through their consciousness.
We need to understand that we are individuals who are part of a community which belongs to the cosmos.
I could relate these last 3 chapters with our culture in the MPC in the way that Bohm suggest that we should participate in dialogues in order to have a sense of ownership and belonging to a place where participation tends to bring things together. Literal thought is necessary inwardly and participatory thought is needed outwardly.

Learning Process
Today we continue with our rubrics for the presentation on the last week of May. Bert left us to do it by ourselves and we didn't make the best approach. Everybody was anxious to say their suggestions and barely anyone listened to each other. I've noticed some people in their computers and completely off topic. We at least started with the categories we wanted to have and possible options to include. But we are far from getting to a structure which should be up to our standards.
Drama
Definetely we need a drama class in the middle of our weeks. I laughed so much today. Javier prepared two dialogues where we had to interpret it and add the context and meaning of it. For the first dialogue I paired up with Javier Parellada and we planned a bank rob and had around 15 minutes to practice it. Watching everyone's interpretation was absolutely hilarious, the person who caught my attention especially was Chacho, it was incredible his performance, I don't know but it's funny to see someone behave so differently while acting than how they really are everyday. It gave me a more broad perspective of their personalities and what they are capable to achieve with creativity. For the second act I paired up with Lore and we were in a confession room and I was the priest, funny because at the end lore confused some of the lines and it all turned out so spontaneous and still didn't loose the essence of the scene, I even added some other lines and movements which were not planned at all they all came spontaneously and we all had a blast.
Physics
So for today Heinz planned an activity which we will be practicing the pendulum in the ropes up the mountain. I really enjoyed how Heinz plans his class, because he is very authentic in his teaching and leaves us to understand by experimenting in our own how things came out to be from times of Galileo.
What we proved in this experiment is that the weight doesn't affect the distance which the pendulum will oscillate.
What it does affect is the long of the rope, the distance of the oscillation and the angle of the pendulum. La gravedad no afecto mucho en comparación con el otro experimento de free fall de la semana pasada porque habia menos distancia del objeto al suelo en el segundo experimento.
Qué tanto podemos confiar en nuestros calculos?

Debrief
Alguien menciono que nos hemos vuelto muy dependientes del grupo, y en vez de que nostros mismos nos hagamos judgement calls for what we believe right to do in certain moments, preguntamos a los demas si esta bien hacerlo? Tener nuestros propios criterios y razones para hacer tales cosas y no enfocarnos en lo que la "public opinion" diga we should deduce by logic the principles we've created to follow them so we can become better people.
