well excluding the recent one
however
it was mainly accountable to the
lack of content. or so i claimed.
i like to think of this as a record
but in the record itself its something
that exists (hmm somehow in cyberspace?)
or however it exists as binary or what not.
i dont quite understand how it works
tho the point being rather than
something that records what ive been up to in my life
like it was earlier on
but to be something more of like
a collection of thoughts
the existence of processes
which together form some physical kind of... blob???
personally. not quite sure myself.
maybe if i ever print it off..
it will be a physical collection of paper then :)
something that has converted from
the basic movement of electrolytes
forming an electrical currents
that shoot between each other
bouncing off nerve to nerve
to form a continual stream of thoughts that are
later continually converted to even more various energies
to take physical form on paper
in the macro scale of something physical that i can see
and reading over that..
is it not a physical element already there in the first place
like something that we cant see but is there.
which really makes me wonder
if i could ever see the entire world
in the hypothesised basic composition at atomic scale
what it would really be like i can only imagine...
i barely made sense in the last 5 mins have i?
(i started 5 mins ago)
but. the point is
i was also talking bout the contents and topics
and the one that was on my mind was that of continuum
First. lets go all the way back
to where this continuum thoughts started from.
last week was my 3 hour seminar on equity and diversity.
it was talking bout equity and diversity in the world
and how there has been and is prejudice in the world
namely in our everyday lives..
especially things we will encounter
in our lives later in the workforce
that there is privilege in being part of the dominant group.
which would be:
*caucasian
*male
*hetrosexual
*able-bodied (that is to say not disbled)
and when they were discussing homosexuality..
there was a recommendation to go and watch the movie Kinsey
which discusses the works of Kinsey who developed
the Kinsey scale of sexuality.
basically Kinsey is what they called the Father of sexuality
who basically got studies and information together
through an enormous number of interviews
to determine what is 'normal'
as sex is such a hush hush topic and no one really knew much about it
the scale ranges about 1-7 (or 1-5?) anyways.
there's two extremes..
one being 100% heterosexual and the other 100% homosexual
and then between these two extremes
the range describes a mix of the two in varying degrees.
and with that they basically state that
the scale shows how sexuality is a continuum
rather than a distinct, defined straight cut picture
which had further lead me to the thought of continuums..
yes thats how the full circle went..
but then question is... a continuum means a range??
like this scale where things fall somewhere between 2 points
but relating it to the word continuous..
if its continuous then should there be no end?
and that said..
it would be an infinite line wouldnt it?
ok dictionary definition first:
continuum: noun, plural -tin⋅u⋅a /-ˈtɪnyuə/
1. a continuous extent, series, or whole.
hmm so yes.. it is 'continuous'
then i thought about how to depict it..
how do you represent a continuous entity
without having to stop it coz it doesnt stop??
the image i had in mind was a circle..
it just goes round and round and round and round and round.
mm you get the point by now eh? :P
but then connecting the circle
would lead to the ultimate problem that
both extremes would be touching each other
so if the two extremes are touching..
then are they really that different?
what is the point of dichotomy then?
it reminds me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer..
ah yes.. i love it.
for all those interesting concepts put together
like the episodes on passion
that, rather than love vs. hate that drives us
it is passion that they both are.
so the opposites of love is not hate
and hate is not the opposite of love
rather it is the absence of passion
that is the opposite of the both emotions
as the lack of is the ultimate opposite
of a burning emotion present in a person
and at the same topic, or on a different analogy
likening to my health admin studies...
the opposite of job satsifaction is not job disatisfaction, rather it is the absence of job satisfaction
somehow.. now that i think of it..
i think some of the words aren't right
probs mixed up some of the terms
like correct words
but the meaning is still there
it related to the the point that
you cant change job satisfaction
by dealing hygiene issues,
that is issues that people are complaining about
rather to enhance their work life by increasing motivation
through contribution, extended learning and recognition
ok.
shall leave this here
since its been hanging around for a while on drafts.
*hugs*
(maybe more posts with the impending exams..??)
