well of information (digital)

i mostly believe that at this point (of digitalization), information in itself is subjective.

Subjective in the sense where its utility comes from our ability to firmly exercise our stream of /direction/ while using it.

We draw information, from Wells filled by scholars for centuries. It is only fitting that we guard the Well of information well— by ensuring its purity of essence, by protecting it from potential harm (from poison, contamination, etc.)

I believe that we should not spend our time bloating up ourselves with its water—just to vomit it out into the sand.

Humans (by chance/design) have been granted the ability to be guardians of this Well of Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding. 

We should exercise our thirst well, not gorge ourselves blindly.
We should teach the new generations to be better guardians of the Well, to not muddy its waters, lest we fall victim to self-inflicted intellectual drought and pestilence.

i believe that the Well of Information is subjective, in the hands of untrained humans.

But we can be better. We can learn to be its guardians.

ABSURDISM, EXISTENTIALISM, FREE WILL, POSTMODERNISM

After the war, Introduction The first world war threw society into a state of disillusionment, and a fracturing of the staunch belief in morals became prominent, sparking literary advancements that challenged romantic ideals, advocating for a new perception of stability and sensibilities. In the poem Gerontion by T.S. Elliot, the modernist stance of fragmentation and the pursuit of purpose lies in man’s actualization of himself. Meanwhile, Samuel Beckett’s waiting for Godot written in the post-war environment of World War II can be viewed as an attack on modernism, rejecting its ideological claims to legitimise purposeful meaning that interprets the world of Estragon and Vladimir with a Grand Existential Narrative . Nonetheless, both these arguments provide a post-war lens that views life without inherent importance nor singular purpose/essence, resulting in the rise of ‘absurdism’— a search for answers in a world that offers no true answer . In this essay, the aforementioned conc...

Bredlik

https://yeahwrite.me/writing-help-bredlik/ Bredlik isn’t as easy as it looks, folks. It’s a very tight form with very tight parameters. Technically bredlik is four lines (two rhyming couplets) in iambic tetrameter, or two stanzas of four lines each in iambic diameter with an ABCB rhyme scheme. The other thing that bredlik has going on is that the original poet took inspiration for the poem not only from the incident but from the fact that it happened in a re-enactor setting. So he used 18th century spellings (or reasonable facsimiles thereof) for some of the words.

Manglish and its Cina Particles

"The ubiquitous word lah ( [lɑ́] or [lɑ̂] ), used at the end of a sentence, can also be described as a particle that simultaneously asserts a position and entices solidarity. Note that 'lah' is often written after a space for clarity, but there is never a pause before it. This is because originally in Malay, 'lah' is appended to the end of the word and is not a separate word by itself." SNEAKING SUSPICION: "lah" was originally from the Cantonese practicing south of China. The land of Malaya had relations with China since the Ming dynasty, when China was the protector of the Malaccan Sultanate (maybe even from the 5th-6th century), and the use of la as a sentence-suffix particle got integrated into the Malay language its formation, probably during the second phase is Early Modern Malay (1500-ca. 1850) that witnessed the indigenization of Arabic loan words, changes in the affix system, and a rather liberal word order.
