Gnosis

In Greek, Gnosis is a kind of knowledge we gain through intellectual activities. That brought to us through our five senses. 
In other words, Gnosis is scientific knowledge.

Medical practitioners use "diagnosis" to refet to the process for identification of a disease or condition by examining the symptoms and other relevant factors. 

This involves a thorough evaluation of a patient's medical history, physical examination, and sometimes, diagnostic tests like blood tests, imaging studies, or biopsies. And it means to explore to know by Gnosis 

The goal of diagnosis is to determine the underlying cause of a patient's symptoms or illness.

Gnosis or scientific knowledge is great in helping us understanding the world, the cosmos and things within. Gnosis is incredibly valuable, but has its limitations:

1. Incomplete Understanding: Gnosis can provide explanations based on current evidence, but our understanding of many phenomena is still evolving, and there may be gaps in our knowledge.

2. Bias and Subjectivity: Scientists can be influenced by personal biases, societal beliefs, or cultural norms, which can affect the interpretation of data and the direction of research.

3. Ethical Constraints: There are ethical limitations on what can be studied or tested. For example, certain experiments may be considered unethical due to potential harm to participants or the environment.

4. Technological Constraints: The tools and technologies available can limit the scope and precision of scientific investigations. Advancements in technology can expand our capabilities but may also introduce new limitations.

5. Complexity of Systems: Many natural phenomena are complex and interconnected, making it challenging to fully understand the underlying mechanisms and predict outcomes accurately.

6. Changing Nature of Knowledge: Scientific knowledge is dynamic and subject to change as new evidence emerges. This means that what is considered true today may be revised or updated in the future.

7. Limits of Observation: Some phenomena are challenging to observe directly, especially at microscopic or cosmic scales, which can limit our ability to study them.

8. Interdisciplinary Nature: Many complex issues require a multidisciplinary approach, and scientific knowledge may be limited by the availability of expertise in various fields.

9. Cannot help understand spiritual things: They are things that happen above physical realms that require spiritual understanding. Gnosis, a knowledge gained by five senses cannot explore such metaphysical realities, such as the behaviour of a witchcraft,, how was a virgin got pregnant and gave birth without sexual intercourse.

Understanding these limitations is important for interpreting scientific findings critically and recognizing the boundaries of current knowledge.

Sweet Spot

How do you create a digital strategy that involves customers in an energized social community?  How do you create an engaged, active “go-to” website?   Prophet's David Aaaker says, You must change the orientation of marketing from selling the offering, the brand, and firm to becoming an active partner with a shared interest program around a customer’s “sweet spot.” A sweet spot reflects customers’ “thinking and doing” time, beliefs and values, activities and passions, possessions or places they treasure. Ideally, it would be a part of, if not central to, their self-identity and lifestyle and reflect a higher-order value proposition, much beyond the benefits provided by the offering. To illustrate, Pampers went beyond diapers by creating the Pampers Village community that provides a “go to” place for all issues relating to babies and child care. Its five sections – pregnancy, newborn, baby, toddler, and preschooler – all have a menu of topics. Its online ...

Is Liberalism under attack?

I believe the answer may be yes. It's yes because two powerful states in Asia: China and Russia have consolidated authoritarian regime, that the end points may not be visible soon.  These two forces are working tirelessly to globalize oligarchy and authoritarianism. Their gospels has been noised abroad. Their influences influences have been displayed in some nations (with pseudo democracy) in the global south,  In Africa, liberal democracy have been badly weaken by the character of people in leadership: abuse of offices, stealing of public funds without questions and necessary punishments, plus rigging of presidential elections, leading to changing fortunes ànd quagmires. Beside, the curent hyper-inflation in Nigeria is blamed on the recent resurgence of Adams Smith and liberal economics doctrines (and partly by loyalty to Washington consensus: policies and insititios designed by the US government to globalize capitalism and it's associated cultural systems). The market is now...
