"Mind as disposition to heed"

I have to read an article that's full of sentences like "'Mind' is a noun similar to nouns like faith, hope, charity, role, and culture. 'Mind' is not the name of a person, place, or thing, but rather, is a dispositional term that denotes a propensity to act in a certain manner or style."

My reading strategy thus far has consisted of propping the pages up behind my laptop while I add people to my friendster network.

Yeah, I like to listen to music when I'm reading boring papers. You get to make progress without actually learning anything!

About
Moira Burke

Psst! This is the blog of Moira Burke, a Ph.D. student in the HCI Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.

Rife with derivative pop culture blather, this site occasionally features thoughts on social psychology, usability, aesthetics, and the general meanderings of someone figuring out the meaning of life. Won't you help me find it?
