The Internal Monologue

Don't Trust Anyone Who Says "Trust Me!" I feel guilty that I have not been writing new posts. It is a sign that I have not been learning much on the social aspect. I have been writing other things, which I will hopefully share in a few months. I have learnt a lot of stuff.  Let me start by putting it all out there! Everything is basically a lie. Yes, the statement is wide and overreaching, and maybe a bit nayv. But hear me out. The media (News agencies/houses) will at best tell you half-truths, and the government strategically comminucates so to attain a soft landing. Others call it propoaganda. To get the truth and know what's behind the vail/curtain (Holy of holies, eish sorry), you have to intentionally dig deeper. People are usually self-serving and will only tell you what they want you to hear, in other words, what's in their best interest. Easy access to information sources has made digging easier and difficult at the same time is information overload and me...

Limited by Individual's Library of Mental Models I wrote this one frustrated sitting on the boarding gate benches after a flight delay. It might be all over the place. In this one, I used the word model to refer to frameworks, models, and concepts. We all have orientation based on models that are stored in our brains. Have you heard people talk about finding your true north? Yes, based on the models in our minds, we are likely to think that we have found our true north when we do what society expects. However, true north or orientation is something one creates for himself, one of those untypical routes.  Mental models have a lot to do with exposure, that is, things you have come across presented to you or experienced in your life. Mental models are like the flat earth and spherical earth models. Today we still have people who call themselves flat-earthers, meaning they are operating using a model from the BCs. Our brains have many models: primal, ancient, medieval, and new (civilis...

The 6th Sense and Models The software that runs in our heads is crucial for our day-to-day functions. One should ask who wrote the program running in my head and making me behave the way I do. Some writers are Media companies, friends and family, classmates, work colleagues, etc. It's crucial to truly identify how the people we interact with write the code that runs in our heads. Self-examination and awareness have never been more critical, given the amount of information brought forth by this digital age. With the merger of the physical and the digital, writing, compiling, and running codes in people's heads will be so much easier, given that we provide more feedback to programmers through smartwatches, smartphones, and other digital things. Unfortunately, with code, some malicious actors will hack you. Do you have clean code in your head, or it's all spaghetti and fuzzy? Interacting with people is the primary form of data transfer. Humans are complicated beings with the a...

Part Reason Why Your Weekend Maybe Noisy Class discussions started heating up in the 19th century. Karl Marx and his friend looked at class from a materialist point of view in the communist manifesto. But class was here before capitalists, I mean in most cultures, whilst in some cultures such as that of the Khoisans, class is rebuked. There are instances where one can be a capitalist without any class at all. You see this in the zeitgeist with the proliferation of public display of ill-gotten gains. To avoid class, ideological, religious, and racial weekend clashes, South Africa was built different, segregated! Nowadays, with our free market, segregation is achieved through pricing out. Racial classification is achieved that way. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you assess it, sectional titles are the low branch easily reached by many. Hence, this makes sectional-title complexes the battleground of "The Weekend Class Class". To live in peace with your neighbours...
