A Stand Alone Comment

A Stand Alone Comment

e4d056c7.jpg


I am sure you can relate to my experiences of being drawn into dynamic posts and discussions. It is great to be able to share these posts but often just "liking" a comment doesn't feel enough. A few times in the past I shared comments off the post. 

When I read debasish majumder's comment on one of my posts, I knew I had to share this one as well. Here is what debasish majumder writes:


a tool being designed and developed out of the observation being made by one in an ambiance nature facilitate him to exist. for example, taking notice of the beck of a bird, an idea of forceps being triggered in ones faculty and accordingly a tool being come into effect, precisely with an intention to do the work comfortably and conveniently in accordance to ones requirement, unlike the dispensation of a bird. however, we cannot undermine ones skill how to gain expertise by utilizing the concern tool. though it could be an approximate idea, but surely an abstract one which usually accelerate the pace of civilization enormously and of course beyond any tentative assumption. in the same soil texture we can observe in nature mango and citrus fruits both produced simultaneously! so, i guess, it is pretty difficult from apparent presentation, what quality is hidden on one or in what condition, how one may emerge, giving a new dimension to the produce itself.

The other part of this accelerated change is the lens that I see through personally. If the accelerated change is a dystopian conversation about the future, that will increase my expertise in dystopia. I actually want to increase my expertise in a utopian future with practical outcomes. Modern news is a graduation in dystopia but a starvation of utopia. When I look at accelerated change I want to see where there is evidence of acceleration towards renaissance, rather than an acceleration to traditional revolution. I do believe that a litmus test of renaissance is to embrace accelerated change that is a bloodless revolution, one that is empowered through collaboration rather than traditional catalyst of competition. Collaboration has more power and humanity than does "survival of the fittest" - I am not interested whether nature will produce a more efficient beak, I am interested is spiritual and cognitive evolution. All our thinking in the past has solely been about physical and social evolution - which starts off with ideas of revolution and ends in nihilism of one sort or another.

I can understand the biomimicry component but what is hidden here that "surely an abstract one which usually accelerate the pace of civilization enormously". That is a very powerful statement. Emergence is something that is not time bound, the hidden part of DNA can change the beak design of a bird over a great period of time, and the first animal that emerged from the sea evolved flippers to feet if we view this in a Darwinian context. Yet pace, accelerated change, enormous effect on civilization that is the bit I am wrestling with. I don't see people in en-mass embracing this way of seeing the world, so for me the future is a slow burn evolution when it comes to nature - unless we are driven to blend with machines and this "accelerated change" is altogether a different thing when it comes to machines. That form of accelerated change is not a utopia but a dystopian future - one that some leading technologists voice concern.

All the power to you CityVP \ud83d\udc1d Manjit respond in his way, as the author of the comment, but I will offer my subjective interpretation; an interpretation that I will not attempt to back up with any links or references. My meaning comes from the metaphors I experience and awarding the author with poetic license. The design of a tool can come from my ability to observe nature; how things exist in nature, nature’s designs. If I was to observe how a bird uses its beak, it may inspire my imagination to develop a tool that can either mimic the bird’s beak or expand on that for other purposes. I cannot assume to know how the bird uses its beak and therefore cannot duplicate that design or function but, at the same time, I can achieve to create a tool with which I can be skilled at utilizing in my own way. As in nature, I may not know all the different species of plant life that can emerge just from looking at the similar ground, but can be inspired by what does come through and aspire to allowing my imagination to flourish at the same time as others around me, in the same environment, and watch what happens!

I tried reading this several times and I did not understand it. I could not relate to how a beak of a bird relates to forceps or how mango and citrus fruits grow simultaneously when they are distinct in what family of fruits see Quora Question : https://www.quora.com/Are-mangoes-considered-a-citrus-fruit Reference.com Question : https://www.reference.com/food/mango-citrus-fruit-a56d1df5dd41787 It went from a bird to expertise, to civilization and then to soil but in all these steps I could not make a meaningful linkage. I need help to know what is being said here? The only thing I do find hidden is the actual meaning and I struggle to find it.
