curation is recombination and reflection

else it is actually collection, an adjacent but distinct concept machines can’t curate

Mentions

• “Foucault describes the formation of an ethical and moral approach to life in terms of a generative absorption and assimilation of other, diverse opinions, observations, and thoughts, as opposed to an uncritical compliance with some universal set of rules:”
  • ” [W]hatever we have absorbed should not be allowed to remain unchanged, or it will be no part of us. We must digest it; otherwise it will merely enter the memory and not the reasoning power” (Foucault, 1997, p.213, cited in Smolicki, 2017)
