Imagination Library⤴

from

Today’s TDC  says:

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a wonderful initiative. As Dolly said:

“The seeds of these dreams are often found in books and the seeds you help plant in your community can grow across the world.”

Imagine DS106 was setting up an imagination library. What would you donate to it, and why?

So many books I could suggest to inspire the imagination, but I chose one that helped me to understand my remix

Unparalleled Misalignments⤴

from

An excellent Daily Create today:

Unparalleled Misalignments are “pairs of non-synonymous phrases where the words in one phrase are each synonyms of the words in the other.” Did you see what we did there in the title of today’s Daily Create?

Ricki Heicklen has the market cornered on this, but put your own creativity to work and generate (old style brain powered) your own. Create one and then use it in authoritative message.

e.g.  Making an unparalleled misalignment for that hot new two letter acronym:

artificial intelligence // ersatz sagacity

“I am of the opinion that Erastz Sagacity. can already do all of the jobs that we, as humans, do.”

I chose ‘virtual reality’ for my pair, and checked an online thesaurus for synonyms of virtual and reality. The phrase I decided on was ‘implicit truth’, though I swithered over whether ‘tacit’ was a better phrase.

“I am of the opinion that implicit truth is the future for meaningful collaboration”
