Coach Pāṇini ®The word <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/tyrant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tyrant</a> is from <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Latin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Latin</a> tyrannus, meaning “lord, master, monarch, despot,” and ultimately from the Greek τύραννος (tyrannos), which meant “monarch, ruler of a polis” or “absolute ruler unlimited by law or <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/constitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#constitution</a>”.The Greek term possibly has origins from the Lydian tûran, meaning “lord”, referred to someone who seized power without <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/legal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#legal</a> right, not necessarily ruling cruelly. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#language</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/etymology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#etymology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/meaning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meaning</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LawFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LawFedi</a>

Andreas SternowskiCause information and knowledge are growing exponentially, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/schools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#schools</a> try to cram facts into the minds of students. The result is that there is less and less room for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/understanding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#understanding</a>, for reflection on the world and the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/meaning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meaning</a> of life, for an understanding of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#society</a>, for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humanistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humanistic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/values" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#values</a>, for ethics... Doing so, we are destroying our <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#culture</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/civilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#civilization</a>, because culture is nourished by understanding and wisdom, and civilization without understanding becomes uncontrollable.

TheLindenPapersIf we want a different world, we MUST have a cultural shift in which we agree to a new social contract. We must agree that: 1.) The truth *matters*. Peer-reviewed, rigorous scientific endeavor is valuable.Evidence-based study is valuable.Both must be wielded with compassion, and with the input of all being affected.We cannot make decisions rooted in greed, insecurities, and harmful ignorance any longer. ➡️<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philosophy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Humanity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Humanity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Meaning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meaning</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Purpose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Purpose</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Socialcontract" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Socialcontract</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TheThreeConnections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheThreeConnections</a>

TheLindenPapers.... I don't understand the kind of ghoul you want me to be.No, it is NOT a good system, just because others got hurt worse than me.The fact that others get hurt worse than me, and are struggling more than me, is an INDICTMENT of immense proportions.

TheLindenPapersIt's really wild to me that, when I point to our economic system and hierarchies and condemn the damage that they've done to me and to my life, there are people who would scoff and say, "Yeah well, it COULD have been so much worse though! You got off easy, considering!"Is that…supposed to make it better?

Coach Pāṇini ®The Aramaic translation for “I am the way, the truth, and the life” in John 14:6 uses the following terms:- Urcha (the way): Refers to a path or road, but also conveys a deeper meaning of guidance or religion in the Galilean dialect.- Sharar (the truth): Implies firmness, leadership, and unchanging principles.-Chi’a (the life): Indicates physical, spiritual, and eternal life, with a definite article emphasizing exclusivity.<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#language</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/meaning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meaning</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christianity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/theology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theology</a>

Coach Pāṇini ®The word <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/knowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knowledge</a> originates from the Old English cnawan, meaning “to know, perceive, or recognize,” which itself derives from the Proto-Germanic root knew- and the Old High German gecnawan. In Middle English, it evolved into forms like knowleche or cnawlece, combining the verb knowen (“to know”) with the suffix -leche.By the late 14th century, knowledge came to signify “capacity for knowing or <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/understanding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#understanding</a>,” “familiarity,” and “awareness of <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/facts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#facts</a>”.<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/etymology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#etymology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#language</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/meaning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meaning</a>

Aurelie Herbelot (she/her)I am a semanticist and my current take on the world is that <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/meaning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meaning</a> is dying. (I am talking about the scientific definition of meaning, incl. the formation of mental concepts and the ability to refer to objects / events in real or imagined situations.)In our era of <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> and efficiency, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#language</a> is often reduced to strings of words that one repeats. This is language without meaning and it is dangerous. Words alone do not say how things are and how they could be.Be radical. Mean it.

FurtheringI am haunted by this article and not 100% sure I want to read the book. It's about the botanists trying to preserve the seed bank collection during the Siege of Leningrad."In the end, at least nineteen botanists died inside the institute while having access to seeds, nuts and tubers that could have saved their lives. ‘It wasn’t difficult not to eat the collection,’ Lekhnovich later protested. ‘It was impossible to eat this, your life’s work, the work of the lives of your colleagues.’ Besides, the institute gave them a reason to go on: ‘During the blockade, people died not only from shells and hunger but also because of the aimlessness of their existence. In the most direct way, our work saved us. It invested us in living.’"<a href="https://archive.ph/GHY5g" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.ph/GHY5g</a><a href="https://convo.casa/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Seeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Seeds</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plants</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/War" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#War</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Books</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/BookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BookReview</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Scientists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Scientists</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Meaning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meaning</a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/WWII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WWII</a>
