करुणा के बिना अधूरी है विकास की परिभाषा: अमन कुमार

आज जब हम बीसवीं सदी के तीसरे दशक की ओर बढ़ रहे हैं, तो ‘विकास’ हमारे समय का सबसे प्रचलित शब्द बन चुका है। नीतियों की घोषणा से लेकर बजट की प्रस्तुति तक और चुनावी नारों से लेकर अंतरराष्ट्रीय मंचों तक… हर कहीं विकास की बातें हो रही हैं। लेकिन एक सवाल जो अकसर अछूता रह जाता है वह यह है कि क्या यह विकास संपूर्ण है? क्या यह विकास सभी के लिए है? और सबसे महत्वपूर्ण प्रश्न है कि क्या यह विकास करुणा से���

truly one of the best aspects of the lunter/witteclaw parallels is that the switcheroo of human luz luring "witch" hunter away is just SO on point with the themes of the story and philip's entire motivation as a villain. it's not a matter of humans VS witches, or religion VS paganism, but at the core of it lays the idea that anything that deviates from the norm needs to be extracted and destroyed. and in philip's time, that meant that witches needed to be eliminated.

but! that has changed, overtime. philip's world no longer holds that as the rule. not because the people who think like him no longer exist, but because the people who have been the target of discrimination and hatred have come together as a community and fought for their rights to live their lives to their fullest. and because of these, uh, "modern" ideas, luz fills the role of "evelyn" despite not being a witch herself, because she hits all the important bits: she's also the kind of pest philip would've considered a cancer for society all those years ago. and therefore, she manages to hit all the important story beats for her caleb, aka hunter: she's the one who triggers his first act of defiance against belos; she's the one who introduces flapjack to him; she's the one that takes hunter by the hand and leads him away from belos.

even then, her status as a human is impactful in the way belos treats her: he considers her an "equal", as much as that can mean. he uses this fact to manipulate and guilt-trip her. but that also means that he underestimates her, and that finally allows luz to put this putrid cycle to an end, therefore making luz and hunter effectively the last evelyn and caleb to graze the earth.

an archeological hymn to Hestia

Before foundations were laid below you or roof raised above you, you were;

Before stones were marked out to hold you, or chimney and fireplace covered you, you were;

Before the shelter of walls embraced you, center of the home as yet unbuilt, you were;

Within the unwitting spark of tinder, the fragile ember, within the first primordial fire, you were;

The telltale sign of human presence-- that which made man into mankind, noble Hestia, you were;

The light that lit our way, the warmth that preserved us, tool and weapon and giver of food, you were;

The ritual heart, the circle center, the primal stage of ancient tales, you were;

Tender, keeper, bonder of bonds, bringer of shelter, guider and guardian of the human race,

From our infancy, great Hestia, you were-- ever have been, ever will be-- and ever shall you be deserving of praise.

Rethinking Tomorrow: The Imperatives of Human-AI Symbiosis

As we stand at the precipice of a new era, the confluence of human ingenuity and artificial intelligence beckons us to reimagine the future. The burgeoning relationship between humans and AI necessitates a profound reexamination of our collective tomorrow. This symbiosis, fraught with both promise and peril, demands our thoughtful consideration to ensure a future where humans and AI thrive in tandem.

The prospect of humans and AI coexisting in harmony is tantalizing, yet the specter of unbridled technological advancement looms, underscoring the imperative of ethical considerations in AI development. By prioritizing altruism in the creation of intelligent machines, we can foster a future where humans and AI augment each other's capabilities, revolutionizing the fabric of our existence. Conversely, neglecting these considerations risks a tomorrow where humans are diminished by the very innovations meant to elevate them.

The 4th Industrial Revolution, with its symphony of emerging technologies, has introduced an unprecedented era of uncertainty. To navigate this complex tapestry, we must strike a delicate balance between harnessing the transformative power of AI and preserving the essence of human experience. By cultivating a culture that values both technological innovation and emotional intelligence, we can create a tomorrow where humans and AI converge in a beautiful, symbiotic dance.

The well-being of our planet, intricately linked with the future of human-AI relations, must remain paramount in our considerations. As we envision a tomorrow where AI enhances human life without compromising the Earth's viability, we are reminded of the profound impact of our choices. By acknowledging the interplay between technological progress, ecological sustainability, and human flourishing, we can strive towards a future that is at once innovative, equitable, and environmentally conscious.

The future we create will be a testament to our capacity to reimagine, adapt, and innovate in the face of rapid technological evolution. By embracing the imperatives of human-AI symbiosis – ethical responsibility, balanced technological integration, and a deep reverence for the human experience – we can craft a tomorrow that is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

[lynati]

There are multiple options out there that are neither "capitalist hellscape" or "struggling to barely scrape by directly off the land using only your own two hands." It's not like it's only a choice between the two. You can hate capitalism without believing the idea that exchanging goods or services for other goods or services (or a proxy thereof) is something that needs to be completely thrown out, and that you therefore have to provide for all your needs yourself.

The problem is exploitation; it's putting the amassing of capital above human lives. It is *not* that people who learn a trade or a skill and focus on mostly what they produce with it need to make sure their labor at their specialization is compensated in *some* way that allows them to still eat well (and otherwise have the ability to enjoy their life).

HALT!✋😐

did you remember to express gratitude for not having to subsistence farm today?
