To The Best Of My Knowledge

 Good day, all!

 Dear all, Good Day!

 Good day, all!

                         I do not know to whom the title credit goes! A few months back, I got a T-shirt for my son with this phrase on it. I got a book too, with the same name, which I could not even flip through. I liked the phrase basically because I always liked to keep the child within me, and I hope I managed to do so far. 

                                                   Now, the reason to bring it up is that I just googled to find more about this phrase and stumbled upon a version which states that the children looked up to the elders and liked their freedom, and the power they held. And once they grew up and realised the responsibility part is a bit unbearable or stressful, they regret the state they reached. And they used this phrase as a warning sign for other children! I was shocked by an absolute misunderstanding of such a wonderful phrase! The term which has to be considered here is 'noblesse oblige', which means privileges entail responsibility. I should say it works either way. One with responsibility may enjoy, or rather be entitled to, freedom and power. If children

 Dear all, good Day!

                            I thought I might just try to revise the status of the phrase I had used to accentuate the title of this blog. With this attempt, I aim to clarify conflicts/ contradictions in my own thought process, which run throughout the blog. The first and foremost reason is the lack of an absolute platform for the subject I am dealing with, followed by the competency issues of human language. Please do not consider it as a bad worker blaming the tool issue. I submitted valid reasons to prove it from analysing the possible ways a human language evolved, and then, to make matters worse, the inter-lingual translation issues as I tried to explain.

                               Choosing this title itself, as it precisely points to the subject matter explained in the last paragraph. At the time I started with the blog, it appeared as the right phrase to express my mind most simply. Also, I started off to take it as a profession as I assumed that I had reached the dead end of my primary profession. Then I sprang back into my original profession, and this blog also got transformed into a learning session rather than the other way round.  #068 post is an outcome of that. This blog turned out to be my space up in the clouds, and I can shout with my full throat, as I tried to keep this space as private as possible. And as far as I know, the world was always controlled by the Good ones, even though it may seem otherwise to many. So is the case with cyberspace, too; I believe. I am not a great fan of the Christian Bible verse “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. Matthew 10:27; maybe Luke was safer as far as this context is concerned. Anyway, I was always quite dubious about St. Mathew as he deciphered all a bit the wrong way, it seems. Now, coming to the concerned post, #167, where I say that I am an impurity within the oyster called this world. This basically nullifies the title phrase, as it basically implies as me being a part of the world. But considering the world as the oyster and me the impurity being transformed by the oyster, the world and I are two different entities. So I suspected myself as an impurity here and remained so all along, and this need not be true for all my fellow human beings. Oyster comes across many things and consumes and rejects many, and itself consists of intricate things. And I am what I am by default, and not due to my merit. The only underlying fact is that I lived my life, and I see whatever I see external to me, whether living or material, may have the same perspective as mine during the period I dive into my subconscious element...???

 Good day, all!

                         Is it a paradox? Or is it like the puzzle of the polar bear and the seal living safely in different regions? Are we just puppets on strings, and is there a marionette and an audience to him/ her, too? Too many questions to start a post with.

Shall continue....

 Dear all, good day!

Many a time in my life, I thought I had reached very close to knowing what I am, and as I believed it may be advantageous to me, I proceeded and ended up losing myself. Definitely not the grammatical version, but the absolute 'what'. Then I realised that it is not an achievable state. Losing yourself. I'd better keep my mask or persona strongly attached to myself. Many say to be selfless. We are all like onions, and peel the layers and end up with nothing. Wanna live, better be selfish. Yes, you can be aware of the selfless you!

 Dear All, Good Day!

This one is about the present geopolitical situation and similar ones.

To start...

 Dear all, Good Day!

                                    Earlier, I said Lot was wrong, but actually, it was Abraham who could not find even one just person. Maybe I, too, am in his shoes now. Maybe Jehovah himself might have a different opinion about what he had created after the six-day-long creation of this mess.

PS. This post is in no way related to the present geopolitical situation.

 Dear all, Good day!

                                   This one is going to be full of fuzzy logic. Almost crazy.

Shall continue.

 Good day, all!

 Good day, all!

                         Being on ships and keeping stores, spares and tools in an extra amount as a safety precaution led me to follow the same at home too. Yes, it was logical for this part of the world, where we may not be able to get things when shops are closed during night hours and other holidays. Not actually hoarding. Small items for plumbing, electrical and electronics jobs, most used battery types and necessary tools. Printer cartridges, paper, etc., too. Computer peripherals like keyboard, mouse, etc during the good old days of relying on desktop computers were needed for diagnosing any glitches faced. All these are more relevant as I live in a rural area, and accessing shops turns out to be tedious, and the expenses incurred for commuting. Maybe the most important thing is the time factor, affecting the workflow drastically. This procedure is not common in my locality, as a money-saving measure is followed here. But I already saved a lot of money and time so far, and being a DIY fan saved a lot on labour charges too. So I should say that all my expenditures for this procedure has broke even, at least.

                                                So to justify my way, I used to compare the case of keeping licensed shotguns in some countries where they are allowed for their protection. They may never use it in their lifetime, but it assures safety, and they never complain about the price they pay. And recently, I stumbled upon the phrase and further googled to know that it was made famous or formed by George Ellis, whose name I was familiar with, but I could not find out when or how. So I think this is a simple post I have taken up, said enough and closing it.

Thanks to all,

George A P.

 Good day, all!

                         Once again, let me state that I am trying to take as absolute a position as possible and talk about what is apparent to me. I do not know how much material science and/ or spirituality have progressed at all.

      With the title adage, I am trying to point to the present day developement of  AI, or rather artificial intelligence. The primary question I had was whether we are running short of innate intelligence. Sorry that I can not use 'natural' as I am going to contradict me mentioning earlier that there is nothing unnatural. To me, from my vantage point, everything we perceive is unnatural. Sorry for blurting it out. The basic reason is all over my posts, and you may have to get out of all four quadrants of theism/atheism. Shell out the devotion, adoration, stubbornness, and inaction. Free up your mind. Now the answer to my primary question is that I feel, like the inertia of materials, we too resist physical/ mental labour. As I believe the sages of yesteryears tried to attain what they wished, just by sitting or wandering around, thinking, and they apparently had succeeded. Now, material science is providing the same thing to common people. It was a gradual one, up to the invention of the computer, then the pace was quite drastic. Physics was real, but mathematics was pure imagination(non-real), and chemistry and biology had to follow the first two leaders. I really misunderstood the importance of the Economics stream, which links the humans together, and the digital currency transactions of today are really marvellous. Regret I misunderstood the importance of it. I don't say that the good old material science is obsolete, but they don't permeate to the common people (Or at least I would like to believe that way). It makes the AI work far more easily. As I said earlier, I am not a reformer and am blaming what is going around me, so that the scenario may change. So, the AI provides means for an easy living without labouring much. People are no more intersested in developing the innate intelligence. This may be clearer in the next paragraph, where I take up the title issue and the unnatural nature!

                                       AI works mostly with vision and magic, too. It is about the least distance of distinct vision, the horizon span and the memory effect of vision which makes a video possible. Vision is all about video, as time can not stop. The culprit is the memory effect, which makes the clarity of vision impossible. Hearing is not easily beaten, as material science is not really good at tampering with it and with other senses too. Interactive voice response systems, even up to Google maps use human voice, I believe. An eyewitness is supposed to hold a very important role in proving anything, but an English style shake-hand is really needed to make it worth considering the possibility of 3d projections(I had seen it in one quite old English movie). Artificial root word basically defines art, skill and science. The world we see may be an artificial one created by the creator using its skills. And the memory effect of the vision/ brain combination is suited for it. Even though I do not want to bring the term God in here, you might have heard that the human year is smaller than God's year in mythology/ theology, etc. So if my 1 year is equal to someone else's 12 years, and if both are capable of working in the same space, what I try to do in 1 second, the other one gets 12 seconds. And I will never have an idea in that one second of mine. Here goes the cause and effect theory!
