Why Are We Here On This Planet?

A question that begs answering.

Everything to humans is language.

WHY – the ability to distinguish and care about future outcome, ie. weigh memories and desires, is one mark of a highly functional survival instinct

ARE – the re-affirmation of the concept of historical plurality implies both trust in the pattern of plurality as stable system AND conscious will for it to remain so.

WE – relating to your own species in terms of self including plurality marks you as a sensitive and caring individual capable of existing as individual in a community

HERE – the spacial destinction, whether it springs from accurate astronomy or not, implies a great sense of identity, ie. Me vs. Not-Me, which by way of physical identification contains the unconditionality of existential loneliness that has often been described as a Human Driving Force towards mergence into safe communality

ON – a subset of “here”, but by implication the demonstration of astronomical awareness, and as such an underlining of trust in the existance of the human form and its difference from everything not human

THIS – another subset of “here”, but easily the essence of the totality of the question, showing the capacity for projected thought that shines the light on what is and the functionality of what is, which marks the clear distinction between simple survival AND creating life

PLANET – a word simultaneously describing the concept of “rock existing in nothingness, preferably with the ability to sustain life, preferably human life, but not necessarily”, AND the mental understanding of the totality of the human habitat with all of its complexity and challanges. Used in this context it also implies an uncertainty of “home”, ie. “possibly we can do so much better for our selves that Earth as “home” for all humans becomes a natural thing”.

And all put together it forms an image of self aware existance capable of projecting itself to a future of better conditions for all members of its species. Emphatically speaking this projection is its own fuel, and the simple frasing of the question nothing but the hose that goes into the tank: Don’t expect the question answered by anyone but yourself, but always keep it warm and in the spotlight.

Today, What Does “Publisher” Actually Stand For?

Edward Nawotka of WORKFLOW: ePub

… for the sake of rhetoric, I would argue that today for “publisher” to be an honorific at all and to command the respect and authority that we have been accustomed to bestowing on publishers, it requires something more: publishing books that advance the culture. In this sense, not only is the publisher required to take responsibility for themselves and their authors, but they are taking responsibility for the culture itself.

Pattern emerging: Getting paid to pay is the new black [while suppressing developing countries]

Don’t cry, but it’s all a lie.

I have what you would call an ‘extended family’ in Lima, the capital of Perú. My friend’s boy is just now beginning school.

I don’t have to tell anybody about the appalling state of public school in most countries of the world. But maybe you don’t realize what economical poverty is on a reality plane:

A monthly transfer of money sent to aid in the monthly cost of schooling – to people, who just scrape by – is safer than one large one-time transfer. Continue reading “Pattern emerging: Getting paid to pay is the new black [while suppressing developing countries]”

X-MAS HEART GENERATOR

Personalize your cut-out and braid X-mas hearts with a message of your own. Generator page is in Danish, but give it at try anyway; it’s straight forward.

http://www.cs.au.dk/~gerth/julehjerter/

Start easy with one letter on one side and none on the other. Some letters become like barbs, which make the heart hard to braid… 🙂

. and : creates a one-character space and line shift, respectively

Grey area in the template indicates cut-out. Full lines indicate where to cut. Fold between the dottet lines, so the full lines are folded inwards. The two parts of the heart are placed with the two x’s on top of each other, with the circled x not visible inside the heart. (It is important to begin in the right way, due to the holes in the letters “A”, “B”, “D” etc.).

Remember: Have fun.
