The Internaut of GenZ

It was a quiet night. Evening classes had just finished and all the students had gone to the cafeteria for supper. Meals usually last for just half an hour. After that, everyone goes to their dormitories. Some go for extra classes while others go for a stroll. A bell was heard ringing in the distance. Dong Dong Dong!!!. That must have been the bell that means supper is over. Four figures emerged from the Praxisia block. They must have come through the Arihage block. They appeared to be carrying something. Books, most likely. They walked towards the Shrikea block, and into one of the dark classrooms. After a while, the lights were on. A few minutes later, an old man, probably a teacher, walked in with an old leather satchel. *** Alex switched on the light in the dark classroom. He walked towards his desk somewhere in the middle of the farthest column, near the blackboard. He flung his red backpack on the table and fell on a chair behind it, exhausted. His best f...

According to the Dalai Lama, “most of the conflicts we face are of our own making”. The conflicts between nations seem to be escalating in the 21st century. Perhaps this is because nations have lost the skill of communicating effectively, hence the conflicts are of our own making. In November 1847, a civil war broke out between some states that were loosely part of a confederacy. These states were called cantons. It developed when, in the name of protecting interests against a centralization of power, seven Catholic cantons formed an alliance in 1845 called the Sonderbundskrieg or Sonderbund, which in German, meant “separate alliance”. There was a 27-day civil war and it ended with the defeat of the Sonderbund. The result was the formation of Switzerland as a federal state. The Sonderbund was then declared unconstitutional and ordered to be dissolved by force. In 1848, the Swiss Federal Constitution was adopted which, historically was the third and now the current federal constitution ...

Part 1 needs to be read to understand Part 2. You can find Part 1 here: https://internautofgenz.blogspot.com/2020/05/a-reincarnation-theory.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Imagine a world with 3 people. A, B, and C. If A is true souled, then B and C are simulated. A dies, goes to B. Then C and A are simulated. B dies goes to C. A and B are simulated. C dies, hits up A. A suicides. Time block ends. New time block, B is a true soul and on and on and on until that true soul has inhabited all A, B, and C. For better understanding: A dead. B dead C dead A suicides -----new time block----- You have to remember, this ties into fate and destiny. I use suicide to talk about self-termination. It could happen because of stress, crime, whatever, long as it happens. Introducing a new concept; One Timestream is defined as: ================== -----Time block 1----- A dead. B dead C dead A suicides -----Time block 2----- B dead. C dead A dead B su...

At the SPEAKout@ROM, August 6, 2010, Ahmed Al Ahmady presented a poem relating to the stereotypes of Muslims and the real meaning of Islam. He supported that religion is actually based on peace. He also reminds us that the media coverage on Muslims is not always accurate, and usually biased against them. The media has shown Muslims as terrorists and the public agrees without raising questions. There do exist many different groups of Muslims all over the world and each group has its own belief. They are not all bad. He says that after 9/11, even the Muslims are afraid and there has been a rise in hate crimes. He also suggests that instead of being divided, the Muslim community should come forward and say something especially when they know matters related to the terrorist activities. "Because if you look the other way, you're better off blind.". According to him, the Muslim community should have unity and feel secure just like the rest of humanity instead of being marked a...

I have been thinking again of two different topics and this post is a sort of a report on my thoughts of these two topics. I would love to hear your thoughts, either pro or con about the concerned topic. Discussion 1 The Harnessing of intrapersonal conflict to build a better understanding of the self (in terms of self esteem and confidence, etc) After some research on the topic of intrapersonal conflict, I have noticed that there are some cases where the inner monologue or "voice in your head" are in multiples. So someone may not have just one voice that they think in, but multiple voices that could have a conversation among themselves and result in the ultimate decision that person may choose. I believe that they call this polyphonic internal narration. These are not rare cases of people but they are not common cases either. I would say "uncommon" is a better suiting word. Regardless, the existence of such a case got me thinking. The most simplified basic way this ...

I was wondering upon how different religions have their stands on reincarnation, and if it were possible, how it would work and I reached an almost working theory. Who knows, maybe it's true. I could not find anything on the internet relating to my idea, so I wanted to post it here to hear your thoughts on it and if you may know of a similar theory that some human in the history of humanity probably already came up with:  Okay, sothis theory can also work to explain the “deja-vu” and definitions as well as explanations for time. However, it doesn’t solve the birth to death rate ratio problems.  Time flows in blocks. Each event in the block is cyclic. For example, if I die, I can be reborn as someone else, and all the life events can happen in the same way. Maybe, sometimes, decisions could be different, leading to different results, but the main events would be the same. Each time a person dies, their soul would be transferred to another body and the rotation will continue wit...

I was reading this book on the extent of the seemingly insignificant nonverbal behaviors influencing the perception of others and I thought it was interesting. I think that subconsciously, people pick up certain behavioral cues, without even knowing about people. This would lead to creating preconceived notions and "I don't know why, but I don't like him/her." Usually it's something small. For example, when you first meet a person and you don't see them smile, you may not think a big deal of it, but later on, the subconscious will hold on to it and you may eventually find yourself thinking of sadness or depression the next time you think of this person. It is said that we cannot be certain of the way that humans behave. I agree in the sense that one may not be able to completely determine the behavior of another in a social setting, but I was wondering if, by being more aware of body language and other nonverbal cues, could we control the cues that we subcon...
