"one word, based on my understanding so far: "pragmatics". and this book, so far, seems to reflect an understanding that was broken apart in the 20th century project of hyper specialization - that we need the entire scene in focus for each scenario that we're in, all the "stuff" surrounding a speech act is quite important it turns out" — Apr 13, 2016 07:51PM

"reading this book has further solidified my understanding and appreciation for those filipinos who came before me, who staked out america to create a new life, often at their own expense. it has also made me realize how important unions are not only for our current struggles with increasing the minimum wage and better conditions for all, but also how intertwined it is with the filipino experience up to this point" — Jul 26, 2016 10:55PM

"so far, it's a lot of waxing poetic of a life of privilege that most of us won't be able to experience, things like jet setting regularly between continents and the like. not to mention the constant name dropping and references to various high brow lit and movies... not a good look so far" — Jun 25, 2016 08:38PM

“Upon this first, and in one sense this sole, rule of reason, that in order to learn you must desire to learn, and in so desiring not be satisfied with what you already incline to think, there follows one corollary which itself deserves to be inscribed upon every wall of the city of philosophy: Do not block the way of inquiry.”
