A hope far away!

Heyy, Look!
The beautiful land, across the bay!
Long, wide shores, and shallow white beaches,
Lush green vegetation and blue rolling hills,
The majestic oaks that spread invitingly,
to build a tree house up near the canopy.

Why not wonder,
What mysteries might lie ahead.
Misty waterfalls and cold swimming holes,
Slippery mudslides and swinging vines..!
And quite possibly, hidden cliffs, and poisonous snakes,
And maybe even, dark witches and angry ghosts!

Let's raw this boat across!
Sure, it's got holes in the stern,
Nothing we cannot fix, though, with some care!
With some love, patience and of course, blessings of a decent weather.
Coz, you see, I got some tools, and you got more,
and our laughs and screams and tears, together, might just get us there!

Yes! It's a bit scary,
The boat could be more sturdy.
And it's true, the opposite peer, does seem a bit far,
Yet, it's quite some distance, we have trekked to where we are!
And I know, if you are tired, it is only fare,
That you want rest, and descent into a pensive stare.

But you see, for me,
The horizon is too bright, to turn aback,
though I know, there are more lands I'll come across.
And when the beauty becomes sore, and day turns night,
I will turn my eyes, and follow the stars.
But until then, I will fix these rows,
For if and whence you're ready, there will be less work to be done.

White supremacy and russophobia!

Compiled using grok, gemini, chatgpt etc: The evolution of xenophobia against Eastern Europeans in Western Europe, particularly through the lenses of colonial white supremacy and neo-imperialism post-Cold War, is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon rooted in historical, economic, and geopolitical dynamics. This survey note aims to provide a comprehensive analysis, drawing on academic sources and historical evidence to trace the development of these attitudes. Historical Roots: Enlightenment and the Construction of Eastern Europe The intellectual foundations of xenophobia against Eastern Europeans can be traced to the Enlightenment period, as elucidated by Larry Wolff in his seminal work, Inventing Eastern Europe: The Map of Civilization on the Mind of the Enlightenment ( Inventing Eastern Europe: The Map of Civilization on the Mind of the Enlightenment ). Wolff argues that Western European philosophers, viewing the continent from the perspective of Paris, deliberately cultivated t...

Can we rescue science from consciousness?

🙆  Physics is (just) the theory of machines that record information?  (been trying to say f u to science for a minute, and maybe this sticks... take it as seriously as any gen AI ofc) -- perplexity  ) 1. What Is a Machine? Science is about experiments and data, and data means measurements we make with machines. So if we are to talk about science, we probably should first understand what we require it to be.. A theory of measurements made with machines... So, let's say that a “machine” is any device, natural or made, that marks the world in a measurable way. It could be a telescope catching light, a computer bit changing from 0 to 1, or your eyes perceiving motion. Each machine records  values , and it does so in a  space and time  grid—call it 3+1D, three dimensions of space, one of time. ​ But the grid is only our way to track things. It doesn’t have to be straight or flat. It could be curved, spinning, folded, or branching. The spacing between points—th...

Twilight zone: The past ghosts as the rulers of the present

Using the details in a personal note (“The Good Place”) and this grok chat. Not an ideal article, but took few hours compared to weeks... Introduction: Contextualizing the Persistence of Modern Structures In the twilight zone of our present reality, the ghosts of the past continue to rule, their specters haunting the structures of our post-Modern world. Despite the apparent shifts from the modern to the post-Modern era, the deep-seated structures of capitalism, control, and social hierarchies persist, often dressed in the rhetoric of progress and liberation. This article aims to explore how the modern era’s foundational elements have subverted or thrived within the post-Modern context, revealing that the more things change, the more they remain the same. From social structures to religion and spirituality, each dimension of society has been transformed, yet the underlying power dynamics remain remarkably consistent. By examining these dimensions, we can see how the post-Modern e...

Amon Goeth in Schindler's list and pardoning the devil.

I finally watched it. I was attached to the movie the full three hours, was deeply disturbed by the imagery of the real events that was happening touched by the show of humanity and ended the movie with tears. Great movie... Yes! (Though, it wasn't a great movie, no. I want to write about that too, on a different post). While there were many scenes that are brilliant in many ways, one act puzzled me very much and I think was just pure genius. That is the scene where Amon Goeth kills the boy who was cleaning his bathroom bowl. Here's the last part of it... In the outset the scene portrays the devilish commander killing an innocent boy who think he was pardoned. But I think the scene goes far beyond that. It shows how Amon exercises his new found interpretation of power, power to pardon, in its ultimate sense by pardoning himself. Showing that he finally truly understand the meaning of power, the ultimate power yielded only by God, to pardon a person as villainous as he is...
