Instinct is an innate, automatic, and unlearned behavior or response that animals, including humans, exhibit in response to specific stimuli.  These behaviors are typically hardwired into an organism's genetics and are essential for survival and reproduction.  Instincts are not learned through experience or taught but are rather a product of evolution, helping organisms adapt to their environments and carry out vital functions such as hunting, mating, and self-preservation. Cattle doesn't drive a car because it doesn't have the instinct neither can they learn it.

Intuition:Intuition works quickly. It is instinctive, and often subconscious form of understanding or decision-making.  Intuition relies on a "gut feeling" or a sense of knowing without explicit, structured reasoning.Intuition can be influenced by personal experiences, emotions, and subconscious knowledge.  A bus driver refused to ply a macadamized road the previous night because he felt that could help to avoid kidnappers and robbers that often operate at the route, especially at night. Logics, on the other hand, is a structured, rational, and conscious process of reasoning and problem-solving.  Logic follows rules, principles, and a systematic approach to arrive at conclusions based on evidence and premises.Logic is often associated with critical thinking and making decisions based on facts and sound arguments. Putting finger in a fire has same consequence universally, because fire doesn't recognize race, colour or wealth status. It burns. To cap it all, intuition ...

Critical thinking helps us analyze, evaluate, and make reasoned judgments about information, arguments, and situations.  It also enable us to apply logical and systematic thinking to understand complex problems, make informed decisions, and solve issues.  What are some aspects of critical thinking? 1. Analysis is involved : Critical thinkers break down information and ideas into their components to understand them better. They consider the context, evidence, and assumptions behind these elements. 2. Evaluation is needful : Critical thinkers assess the quality and reliability of information and arguments. They question sources, evidence, and reasoning to determine credibility. 3. Problem-Solving also :  Critical thinking is essential for solving problems and making decisions. It helps in identifying possible solutions, weighing their pros and cons, and choosing the most appropriate course of action. 4. It requires Open-Mindedness : Critical thinkers are open to different p...

A coiled atrocious cobra is gentle without but dubious within. An addled brain wag knows that a slight increase in fuel price chases protein from the family menu. A most talented idiot is also aware of political decisions made by cads disguised as the distinguished excellencies. A single policy of a dubiou cobra makes the citizen wallow in abyss of hopelessness 

Anderson a student of political philosophy at the University of Yakahuhu (a  pseudonym) had attended many philosophy classes but could not grasp the conepts. They were below the threshold of his comprehension. For this reason, he decided to visit Professor Jahula in his lone office to ask some few questions. Kindly read the dialogue below for details. Student Anderson: Good afternoon Prof. I believe you are fine fettle. How is your battle for  academic supremacy? Rosy, I posit. Please I have attended many of your classes on political philosophy but find it hard to grasp some concepts. Could you help? Professor Jahula : Good afternoon, Mr. Anderson. I've noticed you seem to be struggling with the concepts we've covered in our Political Philosophy class. Can you tell me what's been particularly challenging for you? Student Anderson : Yes Prof. I appreciate your concern. The truth is, I'm finding it quite difficult to grasp the essence of your teaching. It seems like we...

The answer is no. No because: Pastors are using them to preach gospels  Sellers are using them to sell more And entertainers reach out to their audiences the more. And the answer is also yes. Yes because: Criminals are using the social media to commit more crime. So do terrorists enhance their evil connections. Even though as the international system  has not a single Government to, enhanced strict policies are needed to checkmate crimes and other vices on the social media.

Historically, radical Islamism emerged in the 20th century, influenced by various historical events. The end of colonial rule in many Muslim-majority countries, the Cold War, and the Iranian Revolution in 1979 all played significant roles. Ideologically, radical Islamism draws inspiration from extremist interpretations of Islam and  hatred against western civilizations. This interpretation often rejects secularism and seeks to establish Islamic states governed by strict Sharia law. The concept of violent jihad, or holy war, has been a central component of radical Islamism. Some groups and individuals have used this idea to justify acts of terrorism, as a war against secularism. Influential figures like Sayyid Qutb, an Egyptian Islamist, and later Osama bin Laden, played pivotal roles in promoting radical Islamist ideologies and justifying violence as a means to achieve their goals. The Afghan Jihad against the Soviet Union in the 1980s attracted many radical Islamist fighters and s...

Scientists generally agree that germs, which include bacteria, viruses, and fungi, play a significant role in causing infectious diseases. They've studied germs extensively and have developed a comprehensive understanding of how they can spread, infect humans, and be controlled.  The field of microbiology and related research has also provided valuable insights into germs' behavior, transmission, and the development of vaccines and treatments to combat them. Scientists have advised us that: Maintaining good hygiene and vaccination are among the primary measures recommended to protect against germs and the diseases they can cause. Here are what I hate about scientific truth-claims:  Eating unboiled meat is risky but eating fresh plants within salad meal is healthy. A fresh plant meal doesn't have virus or bacteria to transmit diseases. Some scientists said: Rats spread laser fever.  I totally disagree with this assertion for the fact that some of our great ground parents l...

Amos 1:6 says: Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom: Amos 1:7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof: Amos  1:8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.

Do you want make a difference?  If yes, semiotics could help! Semiotics is the study of signs, symbols, and their interpretation. It's a field of study that explores how meaning is created and communicated through various symbols, including words, images, gestures, and more.  Semioticians examine how signs and symbols function in different contexts and how they convey information and convey cultural, social, and psychological meanings.  This field is often used to analyze and understand language, communication, and the way humans make sense of the world through signs and symbols. Here is how meaning is created and differences could be made through Semiotics: The third world vs the developed world Greek yogurts vs French Yogurts  Italian wine vs Spanish wine Italian suits vs British suits  Asian foods vs African foods Blue Gate vs white Gate Instant Tea vs Slim Tea 4-week MBA vs 2-year MBA program Presidential election vs National Assembly eletion This subcategor...

Once upon a time, in a small town nestled between rolling hills, there lived a wise old woman named Eliza. She was known far and wide for her exceptional reasoning abilities. People from all around sought her advice on various matters, especially when disputes arose. One sunny morning, the townspeople gathered in the town square, embroiled in a heated argument. A shiny new statue was to be placed in the center of the square, and they couldn't agree on its design. Half of them wanted a statue of a great explorer who had once passed through their town, while the other half insisted on a statue of a local hero who had saved many lives. Eliza, hearing about the commotion, decided to mediate. She asked each group to present their arguments. The first group argued passionately about the explorer's global significance and how the statue would draw tourists and prosperity to the town. The second group, equally passionate, recounted the local hero's deeds and how he had selflessly p...
