russia invades Ukraine

    I am writing this blog because of the past week of events, when russia began to invade Ukraine. I've never been to Ukraine, and by the looks of it now, I will never get see it in the way it was russia destroyed it. I find it so difficult to believe that human beings still wage wars with one another causing irreversible death and destruction upon one another. Vladmir Putin is a ruthless imperialist DICKtator and I hope his actions lead to his demise. I hope that Ukraine can survive the russian invasion and protect their democratic liberties. I am also worried about Taiwan, which will likely be invaded by China soon, spurring further chaos and disorder across the world. I really hope these escalations don't lead to another world war, but only time will tell. What is certain is that we are living in a breaking point of history and the world may become more dangerous than ever.

    The only upside to this conflict, up to the time of writing this blog, is how the world has responded so far. Many people have protested across the world and many powerful nations are giving military weapons and technology to Ukraine so that they can defend themselves. I've also seen unity among party lines as to how the US should respond, potentially bringing people together politically for the first time since September 11, 2001. Hopefully russia remains isolated in their attempt to obtain their geopolitical objective and fail to do so, while strengthening the collaboration between democratic countries. Hopefully the least amount of people will die so that humanity and that we can live in better harmony.

PS: I purposely wrote russia with lowercase letter because I think Putin is a heartless man and until they can oust him, russia will continue to be a threat to peace and stability around the world.

My Thoughts on the General Forms of Knowledge

 As a social constructivist, I believe that most knowledge is socially constructed. However, I have concluded that there are three forms of knowledge: 1) Empirical Knowledge, 2) Social Knowledge, 3) Self-actualized knowledge. Below I will briefly summarize them: 1) Empirical knowledge can be thoughts (or symbols) based on experiments or observations of nature that can describe and predict some phenomena. In principle, this type of knowledge should be generally accepted by all people, due to clear cut evidence needed to support any claims based on empirical knowledge. However there are many people that reject empirical knowledge due to having other beliefs (Self-actualized knowledge) that they feel are more “true” to them, even if there is no empirical evidence for them. By definition we are all ignorant until knowing truth, so for many people, a lack of empirical knowledge comes from the lack of interest in science or understanding the true nature of our universe. 2) Social Knowled...

ChatGPT is Here!

Open AI's ChatGPT has blown me away since I first used it back in December 2022. I was using it to plan a trip to Africa and Europe and it handled itself incredibly well, giving me a lot of valuable information. Then I used it to see if it could handle one of the assignments, I had given my class and again, it was able to generate a well written and articulated response to my Open AI's ChatGPT has blown me away since I first used it back in December 2022.

I was just about to go ask one of my colleagues about how to do it and then a thought hit my mind, why no...

Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges

  I got the privilege of going to the Hollywood Bowl in LA to see a concert by the LA philharmonic called Mozart Under the Stars. The concert was great and I felt a kind of peace that I needed at the moment. Today, as I was scrolling YouTube, a video about the Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges appeared calling him the Black Mozart. I ended up watching a few videos on Joseph Bologne (this one was my favorite) and I learned that he had a significant impact in our history while sadly being someone most people have never heard of. I wont go into his biography since you can watch the video or look him up, but I'll say a few things. Joseph was the son of a wealthy white man and his black enslaved woman, making him multiracial. He was one of the greatest people of his generation and was acknowledged for his talent despite facing a huge amount of racism. He was one of the greatest musicians and swordsmen of his time, a leader in the French revolution, and influenced the minds of...
