Who is telling us the truth?

Is truth universalistic?  This fundamental indeed, prompts  critical thinking.

The logical positivists believe in verifiability at the process of inquiry. They hate religious truth-claims. The pneumatologists who study in spirit claim, the natural man cannot understand the things of the spirit (like how Jesus was by a virgin), that they're foolishness to his mind.

During a presidential campaign in 2015, the former president of Nigeria, Buhari made frontal attack on corruption: "If you don't kill corruption, corruption would kill Nigeria". This statement was vehemently opposed during his administration as the country economy went bananas. Voices of critics were loud saying "Nigerian economy was better in the hey days of corruption".

In international interactions, realists claim peaceful negotiation is not necessary with a neighbouring enemy that posses weapons, and readily unleashing unslaughts and assaults.....the liberal democratic peace maker on the other hand see negotiation and peace talk as a way to maintain order and social relations.

In religion, a devotee of the Messiah Jesus Christ believes: if you're not born again, you won't go heaven. The disciples of the Islamic doctrines on other hand believe, jihadism  is the ticket to the best place in heaven.

In the political arena, the left leaning critics of the democratic style of political life believe, democracy it's weak and corrupt. But the Democratic enthusiasts see authoritarian regime as inhuman and a display of wickedness.

In the United States, the Republicans believe in tax-cut in order to protect enterprises. But the Democrats on the left see tax as fair share of every citizen: fund that has been used to put infrastructure in communities and upgrade the military to protect citizens and organisations.

In feminism, abortionists claim women's body belong to them: women have the rights to do whatever they wish with their bodies. But the opposing holier-than-thou religions made polemics against the assertion. They believe abortion is a killing of unborn humans, a great sin against God.

In addition, the Roman Catholic believe in the use of holy water to chase evil spirits away. This is non-sense to some Pentecostalists.

Who is actually telling the truth? 

I believe Truth exists only in our beliefs and in our minds (if human beings actually has mind or if minds exist at all).

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...

Subcategory Competition could help firms deliver high sales; think Chobani!

In the future, branding and business in general is going to involve more subcategory creation and competition and less “my brand is better than your brand” competition. This is because, with rare exemptions, that is the only way to achieve real profitable growth. In category after category, real growth results not from market share increases, but from brands that have created a set of “must haves” that define a new subcategory and then manage that subcategory by becoming its exemplar. These brands continue to innovate and create a moving target. By managing the perceptions and attitudes toward the subcategory, the subcategory wins. I’ve previously discussed in my blog and my book, Brand Relevance a host of examples of brands that have created subcategories and won a subcategory battle. The Chrysler minivan, Asahi Super Dry, Enterprise-Rent-a-Car, Muji (the no- brand retailer), Patagonia, Zipcar, Tesla, Red Bull, IKEA, Gillette razors in India, the list goes on a...
