We Permeate into the Tao Te Ching

Lao Tzu

Summary

Prologue.Lao Tzu from the Jin Dynasty, ruled by the descendants of Shun, who first created the rite, was born in Gokin-ri of the Cho dynasty. In 534 B.C., the Jin Dynasty fell to the Cho Dynasty. Laozi was said to be a contemporary of Confucius during the 6th or 5th century BCE. In 501 B.C., a 51-year-old Confucius in the Noh Dynasty, set out on a journey to find Lao-tzu, an old man with full hair, to learn the etiquette of the Jin Dynasty. According to the records of ‘the Zhuangzi’, they met in middle-upper stream of Huisu, not far from the Sang of the old Jin dynasty. Confucius first encountered Lao-tzu\'s natural and self-free philosophy. He turned away after confirming that it is distinctly different from his politics of humanity, which he tried to heal the world with courtesy and benevolence. Lao Tzu turned his back on the world in despair in the age of the brute. He felt the ephemerality of the human world. At Hamgokgwan, he left 5,000 characters of \'The Tao Te Ching\' to Yoon-hee to leave. It is the cradle of all philosophy and thought.

The Curse of Demagogues -...

Eli Merritt

The Curse of Demagogues: Lessons Learned from the Presidency of Donald J. Trump is a collection of 32 essays by 22 writers that make the case that the pathway back to a healthy American democracy is for citizens to understand demagogues and defend against them.
More than any other book in print, The Curse of Demagogues makes the story of Donald Trump's rise to the White House coherent and understandable. Trump, a demagogue, gained ascendancy in a laissez-faire political culture wherein neither the Republican Party nor the other gatekeepers of democracy, including the news media, effectively counteracted him. Once in the highest office in the land, Trump devolved into authoritarianism in order to retain power, as demagogues are well-known to do.
The book has three overarching aims. First, it constitutes a short history of Trump's years in the White House (and his first two campaigns for president) as told from the perspective of scholars, journalists, and legal experts who specifically warned the public about his dangers as a demagogue in real time. Second, the collection is a detailed primer on demagogues and the multifarious ways they poison the vital organs of constitutional democracy. Third, the book is an urgent call to restore gatekeepers to their essential role as defenders of democracy against demagogues.
To revivify our once great democracy, we must defend it against demagogues by strengthening gatekeeping systems within political parties, the media, and the US Congress (powers of impeachment, conviction, and disqualification from future office), and through vigorous civics, ethics, and media literacy education for grades K-12.
As Eli Merritt, editor and contributor, writes in the book's introduction:
"The enemy of democracy is not a Democrat or Republican. It is a demagogue."

Lost in Automatic Translation -...

Vered Shwartz

The last decade has seen an exponential increase in the development and adoption of language technologies, from personal assistants such as Siri and Alexa, through automatic translation, to chatbots like ChatGPT. Yet questions remain about what we stand to lose or gain when we rely on them in our everyday lives. As a non-native English speaker living in an English-speaking country, Vered Shwartz has experienced both amusing and frustrating moments using language technologies: from relying on inaccurate automatic translation, to failing to activate personal assistants with her foreign accent. English is the world's foremost go-to language for communication, and mastering it past the point of literal translation requires acquiring not only vocabulary and grammar rules, but also figurative language, cultural references, and nonverbal communication. Will language technologies aid us in the quest to master foreign languages and better understand one another, or will they make language learning obsolete?

Essays: First Series Circles

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nothing stands still. The moment we grasp an idea, it expands beyond us. The instant we define a boundary, a wider one emerges. Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay Circles is not about shapes on a page but about the shifting nature of thought, existence, and perception. Each insight is a stepping stone, each conclusion just another starting point. There is no final answer—only an ever-widening ring of understanding.
Emerson writes with the quiet confidence of someone who has seen the world rearrange itself countless times. He does not dictate; he invites. He does not confine; he liberates. Circles is both a challenge and a comfort: the challenge to let go of fixed truths, the comfort that every ending is merely a new circumference waiting to be drawn. This essay, part of his Essays: First Series, distills the restless energy of transcendentalism into a meditation on the inevitable movement of life.
To read Circles is to be reminded that no thought, no identity, no moment is static. And that is not a reason for despair, but for wonder.
