Cultures built on symbols of continuity

-
the continuous  family cycle - extended and together
shifting roles for the individual - son, father, grand parent
karma as a continuous account - sum total
the total life - personal, family, society, divinity
responsibility at every age - towards those younger and older
rebirth - good deeds for better rebirth

symbols in prayer
bhakti songs - prayer as a form of engagement and enjoyment (music and melody) moving frm one god to another
incense sticks - continuos smoke
the concept of the burning lamp
on birthdays - the akhand jyot Vs. the blowing of candles and extinguishing the light
praying to sun and rain gods

symbols in behaviour
marriage for society - keep it visibly going

modern urban memory is set upon temporality, which retains the continuity of the
change, rather than continuity of the place. The circulation of trade goods is
developed by eased transportation and the circulation of symbols is increased by
communication technologies by globalization. Today, we can observe a crowd of
symbols that are produced independently from “space” used in built environment
have no relation to the history of the city. The urban memory fed with these symbols
will be set up independently from the historical development of the city.

The features of the “place” concerning the natural environment maybe more distinguishing rather
than that of the built environment for the new urban memory; as the memory will
perceive the difference first and more quickly. If the built environment is not shaped
according to topology or climate of the place, or does not reflect the production way of
the society or the period, “imaginability” of the things will be decreased.

Swifties vs Ticketmaster

 Swifties vs Ticketmaster  The un-suspecting Swifties had a moment as they experienced the destructive power of a live event and ticketing monopoly firsthand. Eager to procure pre-sale tickets for a live-event staged by one of the most loved and followed musicians of our time, Swifties were let down in millions.  Swifties are sharp, smart and skilled social media stalwarts. They are die-hard loyalists and amazingly knit together. They can hate as much as they can love.  Source:  https://www.reddit.com/r/TaylorSwift/comments/bhd5ko/taylor_swifties_4eva/ Endless e-queues that started at midnight, followed by  sky-high ticket prices for group bookings were just the beginning. Triggering a similar reaction, just like the one in America.  Swifties and the swift mindset are wreaking havoc against a lesser felt monopoly.  Legions  of new anti-monopolists are being birthed through out SE-Asia.    No creative work is complete. Creativity wins when people give in. Look at a creative in any field

understanding the under 19s

IN YOUTH WE HOPE & IN AGE WE EXPECT  across the multiple sporting events and initiatives unfolding across the world these days, there is one consistent thread. the world is getting ready to welcome a new set of champions. At the Australian open, in the winter olympics, in the U23 AFC, or the under 19 world cup of cricket a new bunch of athletes are taking centre-stage. A new crop of countries are producing the latest champions. A whole new sports culture is emerging from kids coming from mixed families. What is surprising is ... the reputation these kids come with.  The future is interesting because it looks different from the present. Countries often invest in future sports initiatives to avoid the mistakes of the past. investments are made, foreign coaches are sought, facilities are improved and diets are changed only to place an athlete on a podium.  Today development and training has followers. Even before these athletes start achieving, they develop huge fanbases. If in

BARD still BARF

So Bard is made available to simpletons. So I asked Bard to write a post on what happens if a smart person would use Linkedin and Airbnb as a merged platform ... draft 1 was crap ... here is draft 2 and draft 3 which were same as draft 1 LinkedIn and Airbnb are two of the most popular online platforms in the world. LinkedIn is a social networking site for professionals, while Airbnb is a home-sharing platform. While these two platforms may seem unrelated at first, there are actually a number of ways that they can be combined to create new and innovative experiences. One way to combine LinkedIn and Airbnb is to use LinkedIn to find potential hosts for your Airbnb listing. When you're looking for a place to stay, it's always a good idea to choose a host who is trustworthy and reliable. LinkedIn can be a great way to vet potential hosts, as you can see their work history, education, and other professional information. This information can give you a good sense of who the host i
