Steven Norquist's video (help wanted)
Maybe some American-English native speaker can help me understand something Steven Norquist says in his video. It is at minute 71.
(He is talking about the things he does not do anymore after liberation. And then he says:)
"Because those were tied to the little ????? that ?????. When those are destroyed..."
Thank you in advance.
Now I asked Steven. Let's wait and see if he answers.
And he did! Here is our email-exchange:
Hello Karl,
Just prior to my talk Margot Ridler gave her talk. In that talk she used a prop for illustration: little paper cones that represented the ego. To me they more fittingly looked like "Dunce Caps." In the video at the 71 min mark I am saying that in the destruction of the ego, any thing or activity that previously was associated with the ego, the "Dunce Caps", will be destroyed along with the "Dunce Caps."
It was an inside understanding the audience had. Watch the Margot Ridler talk and you will see what I am talking about.
Steven

Dear Steven,
I started a thread at nevernothere.com on something you said in your SIG 2010 Conference Video.
What *did* you say?
What did you mean?
With kind regards
Karl
Thank you, Steven, thank you, Peter. This was a nice investigation and thanks again for your helpfulness.
Greetings.
I can see why you ask. I had to listen a few times to decipher those spaces too.
I'm not 100% absolutely sure, but it sounds like he said "tied to the little dunce caps that you make/made".
I'm curious what other listeners heard as well.
BTW, thanks for giving me an excuse/reason to listen to Steven again.
He's one of my favorites.
