 The Liberal  humanist view point that all that al that cannot be reduced to the interpersonal is the

humanist fallacy - the Liberal  humanist mind set who are 

embarrassingly blind to alternative to new theories and the implications of its own as it lacks long perspectives.

Literary criticism should not be about  another interpretation of

King Lear or endless  gush about sunsets as closures but the 

dialectical process is endless and in principle infinite.

 People often refer to writing as  'fine' because it doesn't DRAW UNDUE attention to itself, they admire its laconic plainness

or low keyed sobriety...as opposed to jokes from the now millions

of stand up comedians, football chants, screaming headline

which are usually in your face verbally flamboyant.

 If everyone used language like ;,,,'unravished bride of quietness...' that may sound  poetic to us

because of  its archaicism any actual language 

yet any language we use is composed of differentiated according to class

covid AI Nuclear catastrophe the end is nigh....the psycholgy of the dooms day sayers

 Since the beginning of recorded history, people have been forecasting the end of the world. In biblical times, many people believed that Jesus would return in a few short years, and religions throughout the world have cautioned people to repent and prepare for the end of days for as long as there have been religions.

In modern times, with science gaining popular acceptance and doomsday scenarios falling outside the mainstream, such beliefs can seem highly unorthodox. 

But the Daily Mail reports that 22% of Americans believe the world will end in their lifetime, and the belief that a religious figure will return to “save” a chosen few is still commonplace. 


Journalists, besotted with their ideology, are no longer able to recognize their bias

 Media Bias: Ask journalists, and they'll likely tell you they play things right down the middle. They strive to be "fair." They're "centrists." Sorry, not true. The profound leftward ideological bias of the Big Media is the main reason why America now seems saturated with "fake news." Journalists, besotted with their own ideology, are no longer able to recognize their own bias.

Despite journalists' denials, it's now pretty much a fact that journalism is one of the most left-wing of all professions

The sources of 'Wokism', corrupt media, leftism - look no further than the Professoriat (Academics/Teachers)

Politically correct totalitarianism actually has its roots in the 1960s. This was when modernist assumptions were being challenged by what has come to be known as “postmodernism” – defined by Alan Sokal and Jean Bricmont as “an intellectual current characterized by the more-or-less explicit rejection of the rationalist tradition of the Enlightenment, by theoretical discourses disconnected from any empirical test, and by a cognitive and cultural relativism that regards science as nothing more than a ‘narration,’ a ‘myth’ or a social construction among many others.” This replacement of the search for truth with the promotion of subjectivity enabled identity politics activism to gain a foothold in the academy.

The foothold was solidified in newly created Black and women’s studies departments, which were soon followed by Indigenous, queer and disability programs. While initially marginal in their impact, they were increasingly being tied to wider “branding” exercises in universities 

. With this takeover, objectivity became an aspect of “White supremacy culture.” Activists claimed that the views of the oppressed must be “reified (i.e. “made real” or professed to be true) because this aids their empowerment.

'TO BE OR NOT TO BE' was Shakespeare an Existentialist?

 


Shakespeare’s play Hamlet has long been linked to the philosophy of existentialism. Existentialism is rooted in individual freedom and responsibility. Sartre best stated this human position as, “Existence before essence.” This statement means, for Sartre, that a person is born without soul, Fate, destiny, divine promise, etc. As such, an individual is thrown into existence with a tabula rasa, blank slate. The individual, thus, makes his own godless life and purpose.

Hamlet in his soliloquy of his to be or not to be speech tests the notion of existence itself. Are the slings and arrows of life such torment that Hamlet considers death over life. Hamlet feels a need to act against what life has dealt him in circumstances. He fails to act even when he know he must act in revenge against the murderer of his father. Hamlet represents bad faith in the terms of existentialism by not acting. He has the freedom to choose, to act, but fails to do so. His lack of action leads to his inauthenticity as a human being

(from Hamlet, spoken by Hamlet)

To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause—there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action.

MOBILITY ISSUES IN THE ELDERLY: WARNING SIGNS & STEPS TO TAKE

As we age, it’s common to face new challenges with mobility. Mobility refers to a person’s ability to move around comfortably on their own. Unsteadiness while walking or difficulties getting in and out of beds and chairs can easily lead to dangerous slips and falls for older people. Certain medical conditions and medications can contribute to these difficulties by causing symptoms such as muscle weakness, pain and joint problems.

Even minor difficulties for your elderly relative can have a large impact on their daily life. Seemingly everyday tasks like visiting friends or shopping for their groceries may become too difficult to manage and increase reliance on others. Mobility problems can have social and psychological effects and can lead to low self-confidence and even depression.

Mobility issues can also indicate more serious health problems, so it is important to look out for signs of problems with mobility in the elderly and take steps to solve any issues promptly.

WHAT CAUSES MOBILITY ISSUES IN THE ELDERLY 

Mobility issues often become more prevalent with age due to the natural ageing process and the cumulative effects of various health-related issues. Here are some common causes of mobility issues in the elderly:

PHYSICAL & HEALTH RELATES CAUSES 

  • Muscle Weakness: There is a natural loss of muscle mass and strength as we age, a condition known as sarcopenia. This can lead to difficulties with balance, strength and mobility.
  • Joint Problems: Conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other joint disorders become more common with age. These conditions can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced joint flexibility, making it harder to move around.
  • Bone Health: Osteoporosis, a condition characterised by weakened and brittle bones, can increase the risk of fractures and falls.
  • Cardiovascular Issues: Heart disease, hypertension, and other cardiovascular problems can result in reduced stamina and shortness of breath, making it challenging to engage in physical activities.
  • Vision and Hearing Loss: Impaired vision and hearing can make it challenging for the elderly to navigate their environment safely, increasing the risk of falls and mobility problems.
  • Cognitive Impairment: Conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease can impact an individual’s ability to plan and execute physical movements safely.
  • Obesity: Being overweight or obese can put extra stress on joints and muscles, making it more difficult to move comfortably.
  • Medications: Some medications prescribed to older adults may have side effects that affect balance, coordination, or muscle function.
