Ancient Wisdom

envisioned by Bell ( 2 ), and the problems of modern living and quality of life, as experienced by all of us, have one thing in common: to work toward their rational resolution, we need the resolve and wisdom to act. Knowledge and information are not the only aspects that create a resolve and instill wisdom. But they are important aspects. And the complexity of our present problems has probably made them into the most important aspect. The effective communication of…

about the strange dream that I had last night. But I will come to the dream later. I have something else to say first. I do not think, comrades, that I shall be with you for many months longer, and before I die, I feel it my duty to pass on to you such wisdom as I have acquired. I have had a long life, I have had much time for thought as I lay alone in my stall, and I think I may say that I understand the nature of life on this earth as well as any animal now living. It is about this that…

been said, those writers of antiquity who preceded Aristotle did not regard the dream as a product of the dreaming psyche, but as an inspiration of divine origin, and in ancient times the two opposing tendencies which we shall find throughout the ages in respect of the evaluation of the dream-life were already perceptible. The ancients distinguished between the true and valuable dreams which were sent to the dreamer as warnings, or to foretell future events, and the vain, fraudulent, and…

de 120 – o denominado meio esqueleto. Mesmo por esse padrão razoavelmente complacente, e mesmo contando o mínimo fragmento como um osso completo, Lucy constituía apenas 28% de um meio esqueleto (e apenas uns 20% de um esqueleto completo). Em The wisdom of the bones [A sabedoria dos ossos], Alan Walker conta que, certa vez, perguntou a Johanson como ele chegara a uma cifra de 40%. Johanson respondeu despreocupadamente que havia subtraído os 106 ossos das mãos e dos pés28 – mais de…

broken hearts, do we now claim the means to make someone fall in love with us? Because, after centuries of resistance, science is finally unraveling what romantic love actually is, what triggers it, what kills it, and what makes it last. Just as ancient tribesmen saw an eclipse and thought it was black magic, we looked at love and thought it was enchantment. Sometimes, especially during those first blissful moments when we want to stop strangers on the street and cry out, "I'm in love!"…

adventurous can check this in Linux by examining its Linux's source; in Linux 2.2.12, it's file /usr/src/linux/net/ipv4/af_inet.c, function inet_bind(). 3.5. Signals Signals are a simple form of ``interruption'' in the Unix−like OS world, and are an ancient part of Unix. A process can set a ``signal'' on another process (say using kill(1) or kill(2)), and that other process would receive and handle the signal asynchronously. For a process to have permission to send an arbitrary…
