The Internal Monologue

Qualifications and Work (Real World) I hesitated to publish this monologue since it may appear anti-education. However, I would say it is more purpose-based education rather than "education because I don't know what to do with my life". In the absence of a grooming culture in the workplace, going to school for the sake of climbing the ladder may be detrimental if one is not promoted or is inexperienced; of course, the rules are not written in stone but bendable. This is not an argument against education. I will never (Lol, never say never) argue against education, especially learning. I'm a proponent of learning; even if you are not at school, at least be a rigorous learner. Formal Schooling is only for providing a structured learning approach and a certificate at the end of the program. While on this, undergraduate degrees are very important as a kickstarter. The disparity of qualification in the work environment is about how those who may be less qualified than you ...

The Randomness of Life and Responsibility Speaking in evolutionary terms, the fact that life exists on earth results from random processes. Even Darwinian evolution does not comfort me in its explanation of the origin of life. So it is said that were started as a single-cell organism in Africa, and that cell multiplied, and we became multicellular. Ok, on the cosmology side, they say we are in the Goldilocks zone where the parameters are just right for life on earth. So much seems to have happened by chance in the zillions. If Darwinian evolution is perfect, where are all the other species, like humans who look like you and me but don't have an appendix? The human cell is complicated enough, and the DNA makes matters worse since it contains the code of life. It all reeks of some form of intelligent design than darwin's theory of evolution. On another note, there are more than 100 million Spermatozoa per ej, which means that you are one in zillions. The idea that you made it to ...

Don't Ghost Your Help - Most Bridges Shouldn't Burn Wikipedia says, " Ghosting is the practice of ending all communication and contact with another person without any apparent warning or justification and subsequently ignoring any attempts to reach out or communication made by said person. " (27/05/2022@20H10). Ghosting is simply rendering someone non-existent. Not to be naive, there are instances where ghosting is warranted, most especially when there's no mutual trust, mutual respect, or win-win relations. So it requires some cost-benefit calculations.  Maybe I'm insufferable and obnoxious. I still don't think so. But in this post, I discuss my observations around how a technology such as social media designed to bring us closer (mainly for ideas/information sharing) appears to be creating many Saharas between people (siblings, friends, acquaintances, etc.), resulting in almost zero opportunities (6/10 unemployed youth). With a mobile device on your palm...
