Seth Godin is always right.

One of his Blog posts, "Don't Steal Revelations" has this for this lesson to teach:

Learning is a journey that begins with recognizing our own limitations.

First, we become aware of something we don’t know.

Next, we acknowledge that improvement is possible, even though we aren’t skilled at it yet.

Then, through effort and understanding, we achieve success.

The process repeats.

When learning is reduced to merely presenting information and testing recall, it lacks depth. True learning happens through action—when we solve problems ourselves, the knowledge is more likely to stick than when answers are simply given to us.

The role of a teacher is to create an environment where students can navigate their own uncertainties long enough to discover something valuable.

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...

A little Tribute to the late President Muhammadu Buhari

The eagle has descended from the northern firmament, and silence, profound and ancient, now lingers where once the voice of command resounded. Muhammadu Buhari—soldier, statesman, enigma—has taken his final bow from the grand stage of Nigeria’s turbulent history. His journey traced the arc of a man both cast in iron and carved by paradox: at once the stoic guardian of order and the inscrutable architect of silence. From khaki to civilian garb, his presence loomed like the harmattan—unyielding, austere, purifying to some, wounding to others. He returned to power not on the back of tanks but on the fragile wings of democracy, bearing promises of change and restoration. Yet with time, the broom that once swept through the hopes of millions seemed to falter, as dust gathered in corners untouched. His war against corruption became a riddle; his silence, louder than his proclamations. Legacy now stands, a two-faced Janus: one gazing toward discipline, the other toward disillusion. Still...
