And so we do a nod to "227" in that. When Addaperle calls for Glinda, she does all the magic. Then she goes, "Glinda!" And it's like, that's "Mary!" It's 100% like-- so we do two nods to it in that way.
But Jane Addams is really key here. Jane Addams is most famous in American history for founding Hull House and being kind of one of the founders of modern social work, in a way, working with immigrants and poor people in Chicago.
But her intersection with this tradition of education is worth spending a couple of minutes on. Jane Addams was born a kind of well-to-do Midwesterner, wanted to go to college, wanted to get a real education. There weren't that many options for women at that time.
from the perspective of another person. Jane Addams was very interested in how you can have very smart people gathered around a table, gathered around an issue, and they seem incapable of compromise because of their unwillingness to sympathetically enter
about their personality and how they're likely to behave based on that thin slice. Somebody who likes "The Addams Family," more likely to be neurotic.
So I was set aside-- I started making some other kirigami models. This is the Addams Family mansion from "The Addams Family" movie. And this is the house on "Amityville." I mean, these are all big things, big movies from my childhood, all the normal films
William James is very important to me, and I'll say a word about Dewey. But Jane Addams is really key here. Jane Addams is most famous in American history for founding Hull House and being kind of one of the founders of modern social work, in a way,
This is a basic psychoanalytic tradition or myth or law, depending on your view of such things. And so Jane Addams, when her father dies, respects his wishes and says I'm not going to go to college. But I'm going to learn in other ways.
In universities, I've seen it once or twice. And so Jane Addams gives this great example. I want to share it with you.
They're actually advancing the conversation into action that will be productive. What Jane Addams worries about in universities is that we sometimes show how smart we are by showing how intransigent we can be, how we get stuck in our own perspective, and that, instead, she looks for a kind of intelligence that
He was a philosopher at Princeton and Stanford and UVA, a teacher of mine when I was at Princeton. What Dewey said-- Dewey read Jane Addams with great admiration and affection, and Dewey thought we should be emphasizing not just autonomy, we should be emphasizing interdependence.
So I'm going to criticize this, but I still think everyone should read him. He wrote a review of an Indian restaurant in Queens called Adda , which is a great restaurant. And he described how the chef was doing food that we really don't see in New York.
And then you're recharged. My daughter goes to a performing arts school called Adda Clevenger up in San Francisco. And their educational model's very different from what I've found anywhere else.
"In the Heights" is about nothing more than just one day in Washington Heights. And I used to love things like "The Addams Family" where you have like Gomez Addams which is a hysterical character, but he plays at a stereotype of what it is to be a Latin man.
make everyone have a daughter to like arrive at this conclusion, so like, what else can we do to convince like a number of guys Oh, I talk about the Addams family.
Cooperation as an important vehicle of real education. William James, who was a fan of Addams's-- and they were in a mutual admiration society, I guess-- William James talks about this as overcoming a certain blindness. He wrote an essay based on a lecture he gave to teachers called "Overcoming a Certain Blindness in Human Beings," where he says-- he tells a story.
And it's much too intrusive to ask that. In almost every big city you had civic improvement movements, from Jane Addams onward.
Like it's a very specific kind of bubble that isn't dangerous for us. has been the people show, has been "Rock of Ages," "The Addams Family," "SpongeBob Squarepants," not "The Band's Visit," not "Next to Normal"
I'll talk about-- the second beat will be animate, and I'll talk about Emerson. The third will be cooperate, and I'll talk there very quickly about Dewey and Jane Addams. And the fourth will be instigate.
So we've gone from autonomy and liberation in Jefferson to animation, making the world more of an alive place, in Emerson, and cooperation in Jane Addams and James. And now for the last word, instigate, I
It's a form of cramming. For instance, uh on on that last piece we just played in the towards the end of Addaboy, um, I wasn't sure where Yo-Yo was, and and so I just started playing where
