Hti2 Semester 1 Summary

Basically, what i see in semester 1 was an attempt to prepare us for semester2. The lectures in semester 1 was more on psychology, exploring the ideas in our mind, and thinking in-depth into some of the ideas that other philosophers pose, such as the temes and memes, as well as analyzing pictures to understand the message it conveys, it helped us to think more about different aspects of ideas, the origin of idea, the consequences and influences of such ideas, and how it can be applied to use in real life to humans.

Having learnt how to explore the ideas in our mind by continuously asking questions related to the idea, as well as using interesting methods like the Techrad to get interesting results from our ideas, we can then proceed to create a world of our own and ideas of our own, and allow us to question our own ideas itself, exploring and expanding it in the process, in the end we can create a whole new system of ideas that are somehow inter-connected with each other.

This would hence aid us in the second semester where we are required to generate new and whacky ideas from already existing ideas that influence us, which is required from us for the presentation and novums submission.

This idea to apply what we have learnt in semester 1 to generate ideas in semester 2 sort of worked as i have realized the connection between the two, however what did not work was that some of the students, inclusive of me was unable to fully grasp the methods taught in semester 1 to explore our ideas, or that we have forgotten the method and its usage.

In my point of view, the lectures in semester 1 provided more information and knowledge than in semester 2, this was because we were exposed to many talks by philosophers about their ideas in semester 1, and they were good at explaining their ideas, making it interesting for others to listen.
