Szok Szybkości : Cywilizacja ludzi i komputerów.

By: Waldemar Sadowski

„Szok szybkości” to esej o fascynującym prądzie cywilizacji, który porywa świat wraz z ludźmi w dziwną przyszłość. Symbioza ludzi i komputerów, końcowy etap postnowoczesnej kultury, rodzi zaskakujące zjawiska, napędzane potężnymi siłami ewolucji i entropii. Świat w każdej chwili może znaleźć się poza naszą kontrolą. Esej odsłania tajemnice nowej, rodzącej się cywilizacji ludzi i komputerów; jest kolekcją teorii naukowych i metafor popkultury, przepuszczoną przez filtry filozofii i zdrowego rozsądku; rozważa rolę i przeznaczenie bytów inteligentnych: ludzi, komputerów, nadczłowieka i boga. Autor tworzy dwa główne scenariusze przyszłości człowieka, których wspólnym mianownikiem są dwie cechy: Szybkość i Dziwność. Metafory, teorie filozoficzne, nowe technologie i odkrycia naukowe, to fragmenty puzzli, z których autor układa obraz dziwnej, miejscami przerażającej rzeczywistości. O tym, że ewolucja trwa nadal wie każdy. O tym, że ewolucja inteligencji nie tylko nadal trwa, ale przyspiesza, wie niewielu. Co będzie końcowym efektem tego przyspieszenia, nie wie nikt. Dokąd prowadzą nas destrukcyjno-kreatywne siły ewolucji? Mając do dyspozyc...

„To globalizacja oraz symbiotyczna integracja ludzi i maszyn tworzą zalążki nowego, kolejnego superorganizmu w historii życia na Ziemi. Nie będzie się on jednak składał z bakterii czy mrówek, lecz z umysłów i komputerów. Stworzy go to wszystko, co podłączy się do Sieci. Jego architektura i stosunek do ludzi może przybrać przeróżne formy. Rozwijając hipotezę Turchina nie można wykluczyć, że ta nowa ponadosobnicza inteligencja będzie dysponowała jakąś formą świadomości i możliwością kierowania swoim rozwojem.” Str. 60 „A teraz pomyślmy o swoim mózgu. Przecież ludzki mózg składa się wyłącznie z bakterii. Każdy neuron był kiedyś niezależnym organizmem. Bakterią, które miliard lat temu krążyły swobodnie w środowisku. Mózg, to sto miliardów bakterii, które komuniują się między sobą; bakterii, które stworzyły w ludzkiej czaszce własny Internet. Inteligencja człowieka, duch, miłość, nienawiść, to rozmowy tych połączonych bakterii. I rozmawiają ze sobą własnym elektrochemicznym językiem, wszystkie na raz.

Hulili Vol. 5 No. 1 2008

By: Shawn Malia Kanaiaupuni, Ph. D.

The intimate connection between Hawaiians and aina (land) is the focus of two articles this year. In a piece that weaves together scholarly research and personal moolelo (storytelling), cultural beliefs about land, language, and community reveal strong implications for understanding Hawaiian well-being. Likewise, the importance of cultivating a strong sense of place among students and their families is emphasized within Ike Aina, a curriculum grounded in experiential learning and indigenous literacy. This year is a mixture of joy and nostalgia personally, because it is my last year as editor as I turn the reins over to Brandon Ledward, who has been a diligent team member working to produce volumes four and five of this journal. Dr. Ledward ensures strong continuity for the journal, with his doctorate in cultural anthro- pology from the University of Hawaii and his solid background in qualitative and quantitative research methods as part of the Research and Evaluation division at Kamehameha. We welcome his continued leadership and voice, along with Matthew Corry and Debra Tang, who have been critical team members supporting thi...

Molokai: Future of a Hawaiian Island This vision statement was created by numerous groups of the Molokai community and largely based on work from the generations before us. There are too many contributors to list, but on page 52, there is a hui of opio and makua who are instrumental in carrying forward the vision of this document, and they may be contacted for further information. In light of longstanding challenges to our aina (land), cultural tradi- tions, and lifestyle, community members joined together to articulate a vision for the future of Molokai. The process was innovative yet organic, bringing together individuals from different generations and with ike (knowledge) from a wide range of sources. The emerging document describes a desired state for the island, where the question of development is secondary to the promise to malama (protect and nurture) natural and cultural resources. Utilizing a community- based, holistic approach, “Molokai: Future of a Hawaiian Island” identifies critical needs and outlines specific steps to achieve change and sustainability....

Hulili Vol. 1 No. 1 2004

By: Shawn Malia Kanaiaupuni, Ph. D.

Welina mai! Welcome to the inaugural issue of Hulili, a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal on Hawaiian well-being. The word hulili is defined as “ladder, bridge, as to scale a cliff or cross a gully” (Hawaiian Dictionary, Pukui & Elbert, 1986, p. 89). Our vision for Hulili is to create a multidisciplinary forum for current research that examines the nature, needs, and strengths of Hawaiians, their families, and their communities. We believe that through collaboration and critique, Hulili will foster new connections and shared insights and mobilize greater Hawaiian well-being. The seeds of this work were planted last year at Kamehameha Schools’ first annual research conference on the education and well-being of Hawaiians. The Policy Analysis & System Evaluation (PASE) department at Kamehameha Schools planned and hosted the three-day event that brought together researchers, educators, and other professionals from various fields dedicated to improving Hawaiian well-being. The result was a powerful exchange of current findings, recent data, and new challenges from areas including health, medicine, education, social work, e...

Trabalho Imaterial: libertação do trabalhador ou degradação do trabalho?

By: Dímitre Sampaio Moita

O trabalho explora os significados do trabalho informacional. Partindo do estatuto conquistado pelo trabalho na sociedade salarial, como fator de identificação pessoal e de coesão social, são analisadas as transformações observadas no mercado laboral e na economia mundial. As metamorfoses são percebidas a partir do prisma da reestruturação produtiva e da consequente precarização laboral. A revolução das tecnologias da informação e comunicação é tratada a partir da convergência entre os campos da microeletrônica, da computação e das telecomunicações. A grande produtividade da indústria da informação e comunicação divide os analistas entre a tese do informacionalismo ou capitalismo cognitivo e a tese da degradação do trabalho informacional. O conceito de trabalho imaterial é analisado sob a perspectiva de ameaça à validade dos conceitos da economia política tradicional, uma vez que nesse contexto não é mais possível valorar unidades de produto a partir de unidades de tempo. O trabalho imaterial, vivo e colaborativo em sua definição, apontaria para a superação da degradação do trabalho e para o surgimento de uma economia da...

Being Happy : The 10 Most Successful Strategies, Volume 1

By: Martin Nagle

If you take a look at the world we live in, most people have a completely backwards approach to pursuing happiness. We’re generally raised with the idea: “If you work hard at something, you’ll be successful, and then you can be happy”. But when you think like that, you’ll notice that as soon as you reach a goal, another one will take it’s place. And then another. Like the horizon, our goals keep shifting and moving just out of reach. And with that, our happiness. Our brain actually works the other way around: By cultivating happiness, you’ll be more creative, feel more connected, and be more productive. So by first focusing on what makes us happy, we become much better at everything we do!...

"... And be aware of your conditioning and society's effect on your thinking. Try giving yourself some unconditional self-acceptance, give yourself a break from the inner critic by, paradoxically, not struggling with anything. We put so much pressure on ourselves to be some notion of a perfect person that we are never actually able to be ourselves and enjoy our life. And remember – it's not a rehearsal – this is the real thing. Each moment is a new choice to love it or resent it."...

The World in Kaleidoscopic Hues : January 2015 Issue, Volume 2

By: Ved from Victoria Institutions, Compiler

This is a downloadable digital magazine with audio & video features. Some of the salient features include a free English teaching programme with Malayalam & English audio. Another thing is a free Homeopathy teaching programme in Malayalam. The contents do have focus on English, Victorian-age England and English classics, both literary as well as movie/TV. You need to have Adobe Reader X or XI in your computer to open the file. For audio/video features to work, Adobe Flash Player needs to be installed. The audio/video features will not work in Smart phones/Tablets. This digital magazine, though in Malayalam, aims to promote the planar language code features of English. The overall aim of this digital magazine is to look at indoctrinated understandings on Kerala social and cultural history, English rule in the subcontinent, the different perspective on the purported theme of Indian freedom struggle and much else. Beyond all this, there will be a vibrant discussion on the issue of how language codes and languages do design human and animal social communication and social structure. The most basic idea is that most Indian lan...

Paisaje urbano con figura : La invención de una tradición

By: Benjamin Casadiego

En 2013 Colombia vio su vida pública estremecida por un cruento paro agrario que dejó decenas de muertos y un país dividido en las ambiguas percepciones alrededor de la vida en el campo. Mientras esto ocurría, en un pueblo andino al nororiente del país, se desarrollaba un enconado debate alrededor de la pureza del folclor. En un momento ambas historias se cruzan y la ciudad se ve dibujada sobre un nuevo paisaje. El libro tiene el estilo de un reportaje-perfil con un personaje principal, que al seguirlo, el lector se encontrará con un estudio sociológico que puede caber a cualquier pueblo de América Latina: la cultura, las tradiciones, el negocio cultural, la violencia política....

"La ciudad es un trazo inconcluso, hecho de memorias y de olvidos, más de olvidos quizás, pero sobre todo, de invenciones. Los seres que la habitan se la inventan día a día. Algunos de ellos son la suma de tales invenciones y asoman al paisaje urbano su figura". ...

Words from Malabar Language

By: Ved from Victoria Institutions

There was a language in the Malabar coast, that is, in the northern parts of current day Kerala. This language was also known as Malayalam but quite different from the modern official version Malayalam. This language has more or less vanished in the last 30 years or so, succumbing to the onslaught of the official version, South Kerala Malayalam which came with statutory support. The issue of there being a different language in Malabar comes to the fore, due to the fact that the COMPULSORY MALAYALAM teaching lobby is insisting that every man and woman in Kerala should be compulsorily taught their 'mother tongue'. If that is so, then the people of Malabar would have to be compulsorily taught this language and not the southern version official Malayalam....

The Voices of Eden

By: Albert J. Schütz

Hawaiian history has been studied and described from many different points of view—cultural, archaeological, geographical, and botanical, among others. But very little has been written about Hawai'i's postcontact linguistic history: how outsiders first became aware of the Hawaiian language, how they and the Hawaiians were able to understand each other, and later, how they tried to record and analyze Hawaiian vocabulary and grammar. Our first records of European contact with the Hawaiian language are in the journals from Captain James Cook's third voyage, in which he and some of his crew recorded their efforts to communicate with this latest (and for Cook, the last) branch of the Polynesian peoples encountered on their exploration of the Pacific. Luckily for those of us interested in language, we had our counterparts over two centuries ago: some people who wrote down just a few words of Hawaiian, and others who were curious enough to set about gathering much longer lists of words. These reports vary in quality as well as in scope, often reflecting the native languages, training, and attitudes of those who collected them. None of the...

Idiocy of the Indian Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act! [Sample pages]

By: Ved from Victoria Institutions

Domestic violence

Now we move on to discuss the various facets of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. As mentioned earlier, this discussion cannot follow the tracks of wordings of the Act, which at best is only a display of empty pedantry. Before entering into the exact premises of the discussion, there is one more item that needs mention. That is the so-called equality between men and women. It is a theme that is ferociously discussed in many nations. More in nations, where actually there is not much of an ‘equality’ issue. It is like the claims of the Blacks for right to equality with the Whites in English nations, where actually there is not much of a discrimination as that can be conceived of as in nations like India. For in nations like India, such right to equality with any superior class of people, including the rich, government officials, social superiors etc. cannot even be pondered upon, by the lower classes. In Indian feudal languages, it is a very rare occasion for anyone to be equal to anyone else, just like that. More so, the husband with the wife and the wife with the husband. In most Indian vernaculars, the wife ...

El Carmen, Espacio, Tiempo y Memoria : Historia y arquitectura en la región de Ocaña, Norte de Santander

By: Benjamin Casadiego Cabrales

¿Tiene algún sentido mantener vivas las tradiciones culturales y arquitectónicas aún a costa de la calidad de vida de sus habitantes? El ejercicio se pregunta por el sentido del poblamiento en la región que hoy conocemos como El Carmen en el Norte de Santander. Las respuestas nos han llevado a la valoración de una arquitectura colonial específica del municipio mencionado y los elementos "duros" que le dan su razón de ser, que la sostienen o debilitan: su economía, las tradiciones, la memoria, los habitantes que hicieron posible las casas, las calles y los lugares de encuentro; las tragedias, los nacimientos, la guerra. ...

Somos seres geográficos, esto significa que al habitar un espacio lo transformamos para convertirlo en nuestra casa, pero al mismo tiempo ese lugar transformado nos define y transforma a nosotros como especie y sociedad....

The Socialist Myth of Economic Monopoly

By: Iakovos Alhadeff

This essay is a common sense approach to the issue of economic monopolies, written for the general reader with no knowledge of economics. I clearly explain why monopolies are always the result of government regulation and not as socialists claim the result of the free market. I have postgraduate studies in economics, but I am not a specialist on the subject, and this essay represents the knowledge I gathered in an attempt to answer my own questions. English is not my first language and you should be ready to excuse my syntax....
