Cultivating Humanity: A Classical Defense of Reform in Liberal Education (Dr. Martha C. Nussbaum)
"Drawing on Socrates and the Stoics, Nussbaum establishes three core values of liberal education–critical self-examination, the ideal of the world citizen, and the development of the narrative imagination."

USF: Master of Arts in Liberal Arts, Humanities
Possibility after graduation:
“The Master of Arts in Liberal Arts, Humanities track is an interdepartmental program that offers students an interdisciplinary approach to the study of European, American, and Latin American cultures. Classes integrate interpretations of the literature, arts, and music of each cultural period with an understanding of their social and historical contexts” /humanities.usf.edu/graduate/humanities.aspx

Filed: example model revisions, on need for minimizing semiotic mapping-drift in pedagogical & theoretical models (cf. example of discussion regarding “do atoms touch?”)
Emergence and Complexity [Professor Robert Sapolsky , Stanford]
“(May 21, 2010) Professor Robert Sapolsky gives a lecture on emergence and complexity. He details how a small difference at one place in nature can have a huge effect on a system as time goes on. He calls this idea fractal magnification and applies it to many different systems that exist throughout nature.” (Stanford’s Youtube channel)

WCC degrees
Just received news of credit transfer from USF to WCC to complete the 2.5 credits I needed for a second associate degree (Liberal Arts to compliment Health Sciences.) A matter of paperwork & time now. Onward then!

What is life – lecture: A new theory for evolution. Speaker: Jeremy England, MIT.
“The formula, based on established physics, indicates that when a group of atoms is driven by an external source of energy (like the sun or chemical fuel) and surrounded by a heat bath (like the ocean or atmosphere), it will often gradually restructure itself in order to dissipate increasingly more energy. This could mean that under certain conditions, matter inexorably acquires the key physical attribute associated with life.” https://www.quantamagazine.org/20140122-a-new-physics-theory-of-life/
