A conversation with my mind

Today I spent less than an hour pondering and having conversations with my mind: about the worsening economic situations in the emerging world. In a sad mood, my mind was like a river, amber-tinted in the shadow of it's bank

Our conversation was around some changing fortines, as Lives in the emerging markets have gone bananas. People now  live in abyss of hopeless.  Run-away inflation is speeding. Poverty is on rapid climb.

Politicians are lying machines. They promised their people heavens on earth. They gave them moonshines. But many have failed to accomplish their promised accomplishments. 

Their subjects are disgruntled, disheveled and disillusioned. Many, many have died and their bones are crying their graves.

Politicians, especially in the poorer world frame policies that chase proteins away from meals,  and other nutrients have vamoused from family menu. They are curled attrocious cobras: gentle without but dubious within.

Their typical households never complete without a host of a house help. Their childrens' bank accounts are robust. But masses wallow in painful pans. No man has eyes to see the colors of pains.

Here is me vs my mind:

John: Hey, mind, it's been a while since we talked. What are your thoughts on the current economic situation in developing countries?

My Mind: John, it's concerning. The worsening economy is affecting countless lives. As a blogger, you have a platform. Have you considered addressing this issue?

John: Absolutely, but it's overwhelming. I want to bring awareness without spreading despair. How can I strike that balance?

My Mind: Maybe focus on stories of resilience and innovative solutions emerging despite the challenges. Shed light on individuals making a positive impact in the face of economic adversity.

John: True, highlighting solutions could inspire others. On another note, pursuing a professorship has been on my mind. Do you think it's a viable path given these economic conditions?

My Mind: Academia can offer stability, and your insights could contribute to understanding and addressing economic challenges. It might be a worthwhile pursuit, considering the potential long-term impact.

John: That makes sense. I guess combining my blogging and teaching could amplify the positive influence. Thanks for the perspective, mind.

My Mind: Anytime, John. Let's keep navigating these thoughts together, as we discussed those talented idiots, because a peace of the nest is peace for the birds!

The world needs the Gifts and Skills that only you have

 TAP THE UNTAPPED. RELEASE THE RESERVOIR. Learn more at the Ransford Online School. Your life has the potential to fulfill your purpose. If, however, you imprison that potential, you rob your life of its purpose and fulfillment.  You and every other individual on this planet possess an awesome treasure. Too much of this treasure is buried every day, untapped and untouched, in the cemeteries of our world.  Much talent, skill and creativity have been lost to the world for want of a little courage. Many obscure men and women enter eternity pregnant with potential, with a still-born purpose. Living with ability brings responsibility. Dying with ability reveals irresponsibility. Everything in creation was designed to function on the simple principle of receiving and releasing. Life depends on this principle.  What if the plants refused to release the oxygen they possess or if we human beings refused to release the carbon dioxide we produce?  The result would be chaos...

The Seventh Generation of Computers

After the sixth generation of computers, which focuses on artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and nanotechnology, the next generation will likely explore seventh-generation computers or beyond. These might include: 1. Quantum Computing at Scale Fully functional and accessible quantum computers capable of solving complex problems exponentially faster than current computers. 2 . Bio-Computing Computers that integrate biological components, such as DNA-based processors or neural tissue, mimicking human brain functionality. 3. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Computers that exhibit human-like cognitive abilities, understanding, learning, and reasoning in a general, adaptable way. 4. Neural Interfaces Direct brain-to-computer communication, allowing seamless interaction with technology using thoughts alone. 5. Molecular and Optical Computing Advanced technologies using light (photons) or molecules for faster, energy-efficient processing. 6. Self-Evolving Systems Machines t...
