WEEK ONE: Please read Dripps and Keller and think about public nuisance.
Because the general public may nor may not have had the time nor perhaps the inclination nor perchance the background to consider the different ways Samwise and Sauron eavesdropped and why that is so crucial to our thesis on Faerie, please prepare for next week's class by reading the following intro to the concept.
To further assist the understanding of participants, view short videos (try the rebricker on youtube, Gandalf catches Sam eavesdropping) on trimming the verge versus stealing the palantir. Hint: Gandalf, the good angel, wants people to be free; Sauron, not so much. Sam is a "gardener".
WEEK TWO: Re-read the first 4 pages of Keller more carefully. If you are intending to do the whole four month class, each week we will likely be doing a close read of a few pages of Keller as a historical study of this problem, for those who do not learn from history etc etc.
WEEK THREE begins September 14 and it would seem necessary to examine the connections between Hikvision, Dahua and the Chinese communist party. Though banned by many federal governments at this point, it is still possible to purchase these cameras online as private citizens. If there is any financial support of chinese communists by these companies, it would seem at first glance to be one of the most illogical things a fan of free people could do to buy their products.
