Speak, wise old man. Come close, don't tremble,
I won't eat you.
You're a scribe, you sit in the marketplace with your paper and ink -
and your ears are large, like Buddha's; they cover the marketplace,
the city, ...;
you hear everything and you write it down,
scratch, scratch,
scratching the soul of man.
Speak, what did you hear in the marketplace?
Don't tremble I say;
speak, what do the people want?

"We don't want to be saved, we don't!
Saved from what?
Frpm slavery, from injustice, from hunger?
We're used to them now,
let us alone!
Let us alone! We were born to plow the earth,
that noblemen might eat;
to plow woman,
that the Master's slaves might multiply.
Freedom? Salvation? Heroism?
These are anxieties for noblemen.
We're not noblemen, let us alone!
Let us alone!
We bow and worship the great powers -
the rain, the wind, the river, the catepillar that eats our cabbage,
the worm that eats our apples,
the Master who eats them all.
We want no more cares; let us alone!
Let us alone! Why do you disturb the order?
Everything is fine; hunger, poverty, injustice, filth,
and even the Master's whip,
the shivering cold of winter and the heat of summer -
Everything's fine, everything, everything!
Don't disturb the order; let us alone!"

Dissection is usually the process of disassembling and observing
something to determine its internal structure and as an aid to discerning
the function and relationships of its components.

The term is also used in relation to mechanisms, computer programs,
written materials, etc., as a synonym for terms such as reverse
engineering or literary deconstruction.

War Hawk is a term originally used to describe a member of the House of
Representatives of the Twelfth Congress of the United States who
advocated going to war against Great Britain in the War of 1812. The term
has evolved into an informal Americanism used to describe a political
stance of preparedness for aggression, by diplomatic and ultimately
military means, against others to improve the standing of their own
government, country, or organization. So the hawk (a bird of prey), and
is usually contrasted with the term dovish, which alludes to the more
peaceful dove.

The term War Hawk (or warhawk or hawk) has often been used since the
War of 1812 to describe politicians with "hawkish" positions on warfare. It
is sometimes extended to describe a tough stance on other issues, such
as "deficit hawk" for someone who puts a high priority on reducing the
United States federal budget deficit. A pejorative variation
is "Chickenhawk", used to belittle someone who advocates war but
avoided military service themselves.



foible:
a behavioral attribute that is distinctive and peculiar to an individual/
a minor weakness or failing of character; slight flaw or defect

In linguistics, evidentiality is, broadly, the indication of the nature of
evidence for a given statement, that is, whether evidence exists for the
statement and/or what kind of evidence exists.




Fault-tolerance or graceful degradation is the property that enables a
system (often computer-based) to continue operating properly in the
event of the failure of some of its components. If its operating quality
decreases at all, the decrease is proportional to the severity of the failure,
as compared to a naively-designed system in which even a small failure
can cause total breakdown. Fault-tolerance is particularly sought-after in
high-availability or life-critical systems.



The term military-industrial complex (MIC) refers to a close and symbiotic
relationship among a nation's armed forces, its private industry, and
associated political and commercial interests. In such a system, the
military is dependent on industry to supply material and other support,
while the defense industry depends on government for revenue.

The term is most often used in reference to the United States, where it
gained popularity after its use in the farewell address of President Dwight
D. Eisenhower. As pejorative terms, the "MIC" or the "iron triangle" refer
to an institutionalised collusion among defense contractors (industry), The
Pentagon (military), and the United States government (Congress,
Executive branch), as a cartel that works against the public interest, and
whose motivation is profiteering.







A government is a body that has the power to make, and the authority to
enforce rules and laws within a civil, corporate, religious, academic, or
other organization or group. The governments can be classified in various
ways: The classical way of classification is according to the number of
people who hold the power (one, a few, or a majority). The more recent
classification bases itself on the institutional organization (parliamentary
or presidential systems) or the distribution and the degree of control
exercised over the society.

Money laundering, the metaphorical "cleaning of money" with regard to
appearances in law, is the practice of engaging in specific financial
transactions in order to conceal the identity, source, and/or destination of
money, and is a main operation of underground economy.

In epistemology, transparency is a property of epistemic states defined as
follows:

An epistemic state E is weakly transparent to a subject S if and only if
when S is in state E, S can know that S is in state E;

an epistemic state E is strongly transparent to a subject S if and only if
when S is in state E, S can know that S is in state E, AND when S is not in
state E, S can know S is not in state E.

Pain is usually considered to be strongly transparent: when someone is in
pain, he knows immediately that he is in pain, AND if he is not in pain, he
will know he is not.

Transparency is important in the study of self-knowledge and meta-
knowledge (knowledge that one knows something).

The following is an example of a meta-theoretical statement:

Any physical theory is always provisional, in the sense that it is only a
hypothesis; you can never prove it. No matter how many times the
results of experiments agree with some theory, you can never be sure
that the next time the result will not contradict the theory. On the other
hand, you can disprove a theory by finding even a single observation that
disagrees with the predictions of the theory.

Friday and 13 were both sacred to the Norse goddess Freyja,
so Friday 13th was especially sacred.

Freyja (sometimes anglicized as Freya), sister of Freyr and daughter of
Niord (Njǫrðr), is usually seen as a Norse fertility goddess.

Freyr and Freyja come from Germanic words meaning "lord" and "lady"
respectively (cf. German Frau "woman, wife", Gothic Frauja "the Lord").

Prescience is the full knowledge of all possibilities based on the context of
use. Not to be confused with omniscience (often ascribed to divinity,
knowing all things in a universal sense) or precognition (often ascribed to
paranormal situations in limited scope). Throughout history a number of
cultures have believed that oracles have possessed this ability. It is one
of a number of psychic phenomena studied by parapsychology. Although
there is no scientific evidence for prescience, this has not prevented a
huge number of people in the modern world from believing in astrology
and visiting fortune tellers.


The word premonition refers to a situation when future events are
foreknown or forecast. Premonitions are attributed by some people to the
presence of supernatural or paranormal abilities.(see Cassandra myth).
However, the distinction between precognition and ordinary evidence-
based predictions is sometimes not made sharply. "Premonition" may be
defined to include or exclude ordinary predictions, and this means a
fallacy of linguistic ambiguity can lead to an overly supernatural
explanation for predictions' accuracy.




Allegedly Famous premonitions

Abraham Lincoln's prophetic dream of his death and funeral, which he
related to both his bodyguard and his wife mere hours before his
assassination.

The blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan also had a prophetic dream, which
he related to his bandmates a mere 20 hours before his death in a
helicopter crash.

Otto von Bismarck predicted the beginning of the First World War, by
saying (shortly before he died in 1898) to Mr. Ballen: "If there is ever
another war in Europe, it will come out of some damned silly thing in the
Balkans." Note that this is a good example of a premonition that could
easily be due to a good intuitive understanding of politics, rather than
being precognitive.

The novelist Mark Twain predicted that Halley's Comet would be seen on
the day of his death, just as it did when he was born.




















































Mario is considered to be the most famous character in video game history.

Mario is depicted as a 155 cm (5 ft) portly Italian plumber who lives in the
Mushroom Kingdom. He is well known for constantly thwarting the plans of
the evil King Bowser to kidnap Princess Peach and subjugate the
Mushroom Kingdom, his plucky personality, enthusiasm and spirit in the
face of enemies, unexpected physical agility, cooperation with his brother,
and close relationship with Princess Peach whom he has repeatedly
saved. He has a greedy doppelganger by the name of Wario.

A 'dream' is the experience of a sequence of images, sounds, ideas,
emotions, or other sensations during sleep, especially REM sleep.

The events of dreams are often impossible, or unlikely to occur, in
physical reality: they are also outside the control of the dreamer. The
exception to this is known as lucid dreaming, in which dreamers realize
that they are dreaming, and are sometimes capable of changing their
dream environment and controlling various aspects of the dream. The
dream environment is often much more realistic in a lucid dream, and the
senses heightened.

Dreams have a long history both as a subject of conjecture and as a
source of inspiration. Throughout their history, people have sought
meaning in dreams.

In many of the ancient societies, including Egypt and Greece, dreaming
was considered a supernatural communication or a means of divine
intervention, whose message could be unravelled by those with certain
powers.

Meaning as definition, interpretation, or semantics.

A definition is a statement of the meaning of a term, word or phrase. The
term to be defined is known as the definiendum (Latin: that which is to be
defined).

Interpretation is the process establishing, either simultaneously (known as
simultaneous interpretation) or consecutively (known as consecutive
interpretation), oral or gestural communications between two or more
speakers who are not able to use the same set of symbols.

Semantics (Greek sēmantikos, giving signs, significant, symptomatic,
from sēma (σῆμα), sign) refers to the aspects of meaning that are
expressed in a language, code, or other form of representation of
information.




In thermodynamics, entropy is often associated with the amount of order,
disorder, and or chaos in a thermodynamic system.

The thermodynamic concept of entropy can be described qualitatively as
a measure of energy dispersal at a specific temperature. Changes in
entropy can be quantitatively related to the distribution or the spreading
out of the energy of a thermodynamic system divided by its temperature.
Similar terms have been in use from early in the history of classical
thermodynamics, and with the development of statistical thermodynamics
and quantum theory, entropy changes have been described in terms of
the mixing or "spreading" of the total energy of each constituent of a
system over its particular quantized energy levels.
