We started the class talking about EFFICIENCY in life.  We then discussed Jocko Willink's approach of DISCIPLINE IS FREEDOM.  How does discipline or efficiency get you what you want in life?

We then did our "near, near, far, far" exercise.  Pages 81-84 of the Inuit Chapter were discussed.  Questions 3 and 4 could help with the test.  Everyone finished the Inuit Test of how does Geography influence three Universals of Culture.
