I read this essay written by Vijeta Kumar, or more popularly, Rumlolarum, “Hiding behind language” published 2022 in the Third Eye Portal. It is a critical reflective moment that I felt when she writes about the “discipline with words” and the “lazyness around [these] words that prevents us from doing [the] thinking”.
AC குளுருகிறது. IIHS அலுவலகத்த்தில் நடக்கும் தலித் சுப்பையாஹ் படத்தின் திரையிடலில் நெறய பேர் வருவதிரிற்கும் என்று எதிர் பார்த்தேன் அனால் பல்கலைக்கழத்தில் படிக்கும் மாணவர்களும் ஆசிரியர்களுமே அதிகம் வந்திருந்தின. இந்த படம் முழுவதும் நான் தமிழில் கேட்காத, காணாத, இனைந்து பங்கேற்காத சமூக போராட்டங்களை முன் வைத்தது. https://countercurrents.org/2022/02/death-of-two-organic-intellectuals-of-tamil-nadu/
We were in Channapatna for three days doing some product photography for Manesiri.
I read the Cambridge declaration of consciousness
We declare the following: “The absence of a neocortex does not appear to preclude an organism from experiencing affective states. Convergent evidence indicates that non-human animals have the neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and neurophysiological substrates of conscious states along with the capacity to exhibit intentional behaviors. Consequently, the weight of evidence indicates that humans are not unique in possessing the neurological substrates that generate consciousness. Non-human animals, including all mammals and birds, and many other creatures, including octopuses†, also possess these neurological substrates.”
