We should care for people everywhere!

 I wish that all human beings were more caring of other people independent of ethnicity, culture or beliefs. I am firmly against the apartheid system that Israel has carried against the Palestine people, and the obliteration of Gaza. The genocide of innocent women and children that Israel is carrying out for the whole world to see, will be remembered as one of the most cruel acts of violence from one group of people to another in the history of mankind. I would never blame Jewish people for the atrocities made by the unpopular government of Israel and their horrible leader benjamin netanyahu. There are many Jewish people that are praying for a ceasefire, but the person calling the shots, netanyahu, wants to eradicate all Palestine people. He is a truly evil man akin to an adolf hitler in my opinion. He is a world leader none of the US presidents have got along with, with both Trump and Obama despising the man. The part that makes me feel particularly guilty is that the majority of weapons Israel is using to conduct this genocide come from the US, so we Americans are partially responsible for these heinous actions. The US should support a ceasefire and push towards a two state solution. Israel should abandon the apartheid state it currently has, where the discrimination of Palestine people is part of the law and part of the military's official duty is to routinely terrorize innocent civilians.  The Palestine people should be able to govern themselves through democratic processes.

When is it morally just to cut innocent people off basic needs like water and food? How can you justify bombing hospitals and killing innocent medical doctors trying to save lives? You cant, unless you are heartless, or see yourself superior to the people that are suffering. All Lives Matter not just people that share social identities with us. We need to have empathy for those in different social groups. No one should accept or tolerate the concept of genocide, no matter the groups involved, especially when it is being conducted with US weapons and aid. I rather see our weapons defend freedom and democracy (Taiwan and Ukraine) and not killing mass amounts of innocent people in Gaza. Our tax money should be go to boosting economic development or building much needed infrastructure in the US, to dig us out of the dangerous GDP to Debt ratio we have today. At the end, we all need to see things for what they are, and overcome our own innate hatred for people different than ourselves. Instead we should all love those who have different values and perspectives in life, and wish them the best possible life circumstance, because at the end of the day we are all only human beings trying to pursue a happy and healthy life.

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...
