Heard this sobering statement that somehow also tickled me in an Social Return of Investment workshop. From Dr. Jane Chang. Photocopy machine never stop running in Malaysia. But in UK, they will ask to uphold copyright infringement.  Copy copy copy then become too cair and become susu When we photocopy, and disregard copyright infringement, there comes an attitude that also cheapens ideas. This attitude deadens the flow of innovative thought, as we perceive it as easier to adopt and adapt from others who have done the work for us— which in theory is a smart move, but this practice, without limitations, is a harbinger of a thought stopping epidemic where most everyone in our region will, for the sake of convenience, reach out to copy what is intuitively better from others rather than build anything that is local from scratch, even if the latter approach is fully relevant and organically ours. We let go our ability and will to perform, and this loss of a basic understanding of our lo...

Faiths/Religions (content field: explanatory) 4.  Ecology/Environment (content field: explanatory) 5. Economy/Politics/Policy (call to actions/ real life application/ change) I'm rebranding: come up with bio text to convey these pillars to new audiences. come up with video prompts and ideas as well as a following script that will engage audiences in this day and age. i will sculpt something, and that is used as a tool to convey my message/topic of the day, to introduce my content.

 Religion's impact on ecology is complex and can be both positive and negative, influencing environmental attitudes and actions through various beliefs and practices. Some religious traditions emphasize stewardship and reverence for nature, potentially leading to pro-environmental behaviors, while others, particularly those with anthropocentric views, may promote a sense of human dominance over nature, potentially hindering conservation efforts.  Control: Dominion over the earth + Afterlife. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160791X14000177#:~:text=In%20short%2C%20it%20could%20be,nature%20(e.g.%2C%20Islam). Muslim and Christian participants' opinions about climate change and CCS technologies were shaped by the importance of environmental stewardship and intergenerational justice. Both groups had relatively low perceptions of urgency for environmental issues, particularly climate change, due to beliefs in an afterlife and divine intervention. Acceptance of CCS...

Leon Jala, post-covid, has discussed that Joint Prayer can neurologically influence us in 2 ways: to calm us, share the burden, and the provide more RAM to think with clarity. The second point is to allow us to engage more connectivity with each other, and encourage support in terms of emotions, social, and mental support for each other.  What if the dogma that is inherently laced within prayer, the God being,  is constantly being updated and renewed with the context and resource of all man? A supercomputer acting as the ultimate guru is not a new concept, but it's plausibility has edged closer to somewhere more concrete. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/opinion/ai-chatgpt-school.html?unlocked_article_code=1.XU8.ywcu.VdBb2J0GXTcx&smid=url-share ..
