The Journey of Change 

I always knew that Einstein was smart, but I didn't know he had so many inspirational quotes! I hope you all can enjoy them!

Einstein continues to captivate, not only for his revolutionary scientific insights but also for his complex personality and personal pursuits. In this unique contribution to the Einstein literature, physicist and acclaimed science writer Barry Parker draws on the great scientist's letters and personal papers to explore the intellectual and emotional passions that motivated both his work and his life. Parker focuses on five aspects of Einstein's emotional nature that had a profound influence on his life and career. First and foremost was his lifelong passion for learning, not only in the fields of physics but also in mathematics and philosophy. This was manifested early on when he excelled at algebra, and later when he became absorbed with philosophy. Of course in his thinking about time and the nature of light, it was this passion to understand that led to his monumental papers on relativity. Einstein's "second great love" was classical music, especially the music of Mozart. Parker shows that listening to and playing music (he was an accomplished violinist) were not only recreations for Einstein but also provided stimulation for his scientific creativity. His relationships with women also greatly influenced him. Parker examines his two marriages, his liaisons with other women, and his distant relationship with his two sons from his first marriage. Another lifelong passion was his strong antiwar feelings and advocacy for peace. Einstein considered world government the only means to achieve worldwide peace. A chapter is devoted to his efforts to promote the idea of world government. Finally, Parker considers Einstein's obsession with finding a unified theory of physics to explain all the forces of the universe, and his reluctance to accept the indeterminacy of quantum theory. In the opinion of some colleagues, this was a tragedy, for Einstein isolated himself from the rest of the scientific community during the latter part of his life to pursue a lone quest that remained unfulfilled at his death. This is an original, insightful look at one of the greatest geniuses of all time who did so much to shape our vision of the world.

"I understand why people take flight from bridges, I understand why a girl holds a blade to her wrist,I understand why a grown man cries counting all his lists.What I wish for the world to understand is that in these fragile moments, patience and love are needed most."

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

The Importance Of Dance As A Form Of Art

The 4000-Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity and IslamA History of God (1993) explores the evolution of the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim understandings of God. It examines the transformation from the ancient Israelites' jealous God to the revelations of Allah, and traces the developments from Jesus' life to theological debates and God's role in today's world.This book sheds light on how these three religions have shaped and redefined their concepts of God throughout history.Read to the end, write down your thoughts in the comments section.

Did God Evolve?

The monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have greatly influenced world history. Over time, the concept of a single God has been shaped by various events and philosophical movements, such as Greek philosophy and Enlightenment ideas. The understanding of God continues to evolve today.This book explores the evolution of the concept of God and its reflection on human conceptualization. Additionally, it reveals how certain Muslims preserved ancient Greek wisdom for Christian Europe and who claimed that God had died.

Evolution of God's Concept

God has been understood in different ways throughout history. Pagan tribes in Mesopotamia worshipped multiple gods to counter chaos.The Israelites, however, believed in a single God, merging two pagan gods to form their own. In return for their loyalty, this God, known as Yahweh, promised to protect them. These beliefs emerged in the related histories of the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim faiths.

Unique Divine Belief Emerges

The Israelites initially perceived Yahweh as their god of war before developing a more universal vision of him. Unlike pagan gods, Yahweh revealed himself through personal encounters and had prophets like Isaiah. He was more remote and separate from humans, unlike pagan gods who believed in a shared divinity. Yahweh demanded loyalty and rejection of other gods, introducing the sin of idolatry. Over time, Yahweh's concept changed to being seen as a creator god and later as a wise god influenced by Greek philosophy. These ideas contributed to the establishment of the Jewish concept of God.

Evolving Israeli Understanding of God

Jesus, seen as the Messiah by some, challenged the idea of a single God. His death caused a redefinition of God, with Paul presenting Jesus as the "Son of God" who died for our sins. This laid the foundation for Christianity, viewing Jesus as God's main revelation. A major rift developed between those who saw Jesus as the Messiah and those who didn't. By the 80s AD, Christianity had separated from Judaism, with a benevolent and kind understanding of God. The two religions had diverged in their views of God.

Jesus Redefined God's Messianic

Christianity started as a cult in the Roman Empire, but quickly spread and became the state religion. The idea of creation from nothing and the concept of the Holy Trinity were difficult for new converts to understand. The Council of Nicaea in 325 officially accepted the doctrine of creation ex nihilo. Early theologians like Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, and Gregory of Nazianzus sought to explain the dual existence of a single God and the divine trinity. They believed that the terms Father, Son, and Spirit referred to God's essence.

Distinctive Christian Foundations

Muhammad, the founder of Islam, was born in Mecca in 570. He received a revelation from God and spread the idea of monotheism throughout his tribe. Islam teaches fairness, charity, and the avoidance of excessive wealth. The Koran, its holy text, is not only a guide but also a beautifully written work. The scripture was transcribed by literate followers as Muhammad couldn't read or write, and it is known as the Qur'an, meaning "recitation." The beauty of its language convinced many that it was a divine message.

Muhammad: Islamic Faith Pioneer

The Arab world's expansion led to a blossoming of culture and education in the ninth century. Islamic intellectuals known as the Faylasufs sought to prove the existence of God through rationalism, like the Greek philosophers did with their conception of God. However, they realized this was futile and turned to studying observable phenomena instead. This Arab scientific boom had a profound impact, inspiring Jewish and Christian thinkers to embrace reason and logic in their study of God. Furthermore, the translations of Plato and Aristotle from Arabic into Latin influenced European Christians.

Muslims Bring Greek Logic

Monotheistic religions have traditionally seen God as a person-like figure, which can lead to judgment and exclusion. To balance this, mystical traditions like Sufism, Kabbalah, and Christian mysticism emerged. These practices seek to connect with God on a deeper level and interpret divine qualities symbolically. European mystics, like Meister Eckhart, embraced a more abstract view of God, using terms such as "desert" and "nothing" to represent the absence of human characteristics.

Tri-Faith Mystical Traditions

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, major changes occurred in all three monotheistic religions. The Jewish community in Spain faced persecution from crusading Christians, leading to exile and the development of a new concept of God called Safed Kabbalism. The Catholic Church underwent the Protestant Reformation, with reformers seeking to overturn strict doctrines. Islam experienced a deepening divide between Shia and Sunni Islam, with Shah Ismail of the Safavid dynasty forcing Shia Islam on his subjects to eradicate Sunnism.

Religious Renaissance of Centuries

In the sixteenth century, significant scientific and technological advancements led to a shift in people's belief in God. The Enlightenment brought about a new spirit of independence and a belief in progress. Influenced by philosophers like Immanuel Kant, some intellectuals attempted to prove God's existence through reason and mathematics. René Descartes and Isaac Newton approached the issue from different angles but shared a scientific spirit and rejected religious mythology. Their new religious creed, called Deism, replaced traditional religious elements with an impersonal God.

Enlightenment Reinstates Impersonal God.

Atheism is not a complete rejection of God but rather a rejection of the current understanding of God. Technological advancements and changes in society made the traditional figure of God seem irrelevant and incompatible with modern life. This feeling was shared not only by Christians, but also by Muslims and Jews who felt that God had failed them in the face of European colonial expansion, anti-Semitism, and persecution. As a result, atheism gained popularity in the 19th century as people felt that God had been abandoned.

God Dies in 19th Century

The history of God is long and diverse, and it continues to be written today. However, old ideas of God no longer fit the current times. People are becoming atheists and churches are emptying in Europe. The concept of God restricts human freedom, according to philosophers like Sartre.The Holocaust also made standard ideas of an all-powerful God seem absurd. Despite these challenges, the idea of God remains universal. New conceptions of God, such as process theology and a more inclusive portrayal, have emerged. To survive, the concept of God must adapt to the demands of the present.

In Search of God

Throughout the histories of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the understanding of God has continuously evolved. These three monotheistic religions have sought to find meaning through philosophical ideas, rational thought, and revelations. God has been a central figure for centuries and will continue to be in the future.

Final Key Point

The Shocking Truth Unveiled: How Humanity Created God Throughout History

Why does God exist? How have the three dominant monotheistic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—shaped and altered the conception of God? How have these religions influenced each other? In this stunningly intelligent book, Karen Armstrong, one of Britain's foremost commentators on religious affairs, traces the history of how men and women have perceived and experienced God, from the time of Abraham to the present.  The epic story begins with the Jews' gradual transformation of pagan idol worship in Babylon into true monotheism—a concept previously unknown in the world. Christianity and Islam both rose on the foundation of this revolutionary idea, but these religions refashioned 'the One God' to suit the social and political needs of their followers. From classical philosophy and medieval mysticism to the Reformation, Karen Armstrong performs the near miracle of distilling the intellectual history of monotheism into one superbly readable volume, destined to take its place as a classic. Praise for History of God “An admirable and impressive work of synthesis that will give insight and satisfaction to thousands of lay readers.”—The Washington Post Book World “A brilliantly lucid, spendidly readable book. [Karen] Armstrong has a dazzling ability: she can take a long and complex subject and reduce it to the fundamentals, without oversimplifying.”—The Sunday Times (London) “Absorbing . . . A lode of learning.”—Time “The most fascinating and learned study of the biggest wild goose chase in history—the quest for God. Karen Armstrong is a genius.”—A.N. Wilson, author of Jesus: A Life

A History of God

Do I ever face the inner critic of “What if other people don’t like this?”No. I don’t consider them at all. The audience comes last. I’m not making it for them; I’m making it for me. And, it turns out, that when you’re making something that is truly for yourself, you’re doing the best thing that you possibly can for the audience. This is so much of why, if you go to the movies, so many big movies are just not good: they’re not being made by a person who cares about it. They’re being made by people who are trying to make something that someone else will like. And that’s not how art works.

An artist makes art for himself, not for the audience; you must like your art before your audience does.

Rick Rubin: Why The Audience Should Come Last For An Artist

The current perception of gender is that it is an apparent truth whether that be through self affirmation or diagnostic.Gender is seemingly infinite with a myriad of labels, pronouns, and identities all individualized to one's personal experience The current path sees us continuing to broaden and expanding upon itself.

Current Perceptions of Gender

(Gender is)...he apparatus by which the production and normalization of masculine and feminine take place along with the interstitial forms of hormonal, chromosomal, psychic, and performative that gender assumes.”

If one is to free themselves from the violence of gender (such as misogyny and surgeries forced upon intesex bodies) they must destroy the apparatus of gender entirely.

Gender Nihilism 

Antihumanism is the rejection of the essential. This belief sees that there is nothing inherent to being a human.The concept of "Man and Woman" dont exist as labels for essential categories of being rather they are discursive, social, and linguistic symbols which are evolve and change. Their existence is contingent on power and subjugation.

Antihumanism

Liberal Feminism<ul><li>when saying “I am a woman” they mean they are spiritually, ontologically, metaphysically, genetically, or any other modes of “essentially” a woman.</li><li>there is an unawareness or dismissive attitude towards the relationship of power and gender.</li><li>Views gender as a way of legitimizing themselves and performing it proves they can operate within it</li></ul> Gender Nihilism:<ul><li>when saying “I am a woman” that means that they are located within a certain position in a matrix of power which constitutes them as such.</li></ul>

Liberal Feminism Vs Gender Nihilism 

Gender nihilist Continued:<ul><li>they consider themselves gender abolitionist due to gender as a system being inherently violent </li><li>appealing to power is a trap and one must refuse to legitimize themselves.</li></ul>

Liberal Feminism Vs Gender Nihilism Continued 

Antihumanism does not deny the lived experience of those who have a deep connection to gender, rather it acknowledges that such an experience of gender was always already determined through the terms of power. The idea of “woman and man” do not exist within us as a stable truth, but references the discourses by which we are constituted.

Clarification of Antihumanism 

My agency does not consist in denying this condition of my constitution. If I have any agency, it is opened up by the fact that I am constituted by a social world I never chose. That my agency is riven with paradox does not mean it is impossible. It means only that paradox is the condition of its possibility

"Gender is a frame, a subset of language, and set of symbols and signs, communicated between us, constructing us and being reconstructed by us constantly."The apparatus of gender operates cyclically; through our behaviors and norms thus this realization allows for movement against the cycle. Although, as time progresses normalization may occur so that, nefariously the counter gender action is then naturalized, accounted for, and subsides the resistance.

Gender Abolition

One may think that assuming a nonbinary identity would be praxis in the abolition of the binary, but that isn't the case. By taking on an identity that uses binary as a point of reference it reinforces and replicates the same issues.The identity itself normalizes and neutralizes revolutionary friction while still not agitating the system.

Nonbinary isn't Abolition 

Trans and Nonbinary people are not a fault for reinforcing gender and are often those who are most hurt by gender.This is why subjectivity reliant on labeling is problematic. There's a greater pressure to perform the nuance of each part of your personhood that you forget that struggle of power you're fighting against. It works as a domesticating agent

Identity Politics

One might read this cry for the gender abolition as an attempt to recategorize people based on sex as a lesser form of violence. This is not true at all! Sex is just as discursive as gender and is the perpetrator of just as much violence against non-compliant bodies.A return to a simpler and smaller understanding of gender will not help in achievingliberation. It is the very normative grouping of bodies in the first place which is to be pushed back against. Neither contraction nor expansion will fix the problem, only destruction of the apparatus

Sex Based Gender Theory

Complete negation is a terrifying concept. There is no "true self" to return to. What comes next is unknown but that calls for a new found eagerness and excitement.

Radical Negativity 

For if we are to criticize their own normative underpinnings in favor of an alternative, we only fall prey once again to the neutralizing power of normalization. Thus we answer the demand for a clearly stated alternative and for a program of actions to be taken with a resolute “no.” The days of manifestos and platforms are over. The negation of all things, ourselves included, is the only means through which we will ever be able to gain anything.

The piece at time of publishing neglected a few key things such as:<ul><li>context</li><li>an explicit address of race</li><li>an articulation of gender as a colonial product</li><li> a clarification as to the nature of the piece itself. </li></ul>A further exploration on this is available in the text:Beyond Negativity: What Comes After Gender Nihilism?

Addendum

Alyson Escalante's critiques of the trans community's reliance on gender essentialism and a proposal for a radical negation as the solution to gendered alienation and oppression. To be included in the upcoming anthology Fuck Your Gender Neutral Prison! A Nihilist Insurrection Against Gender. Note that this version has been augmented with an excerpt from an addendum by the author which addresses some limitations of the original.

Gender Nihilism: An Anti-Manifesto - Alyson Escalante

"Hans Landa is the best character I have ever written and perhaps the best I will ever write. I didn't realize at the time that he was a linguistic genius. He is probably one of the only Nazis in history who could speak perfect Yiddish."

Colonel Hans Landa in the film "Inglourious Basterds" is an SS officer, who has numerous medals that speak of his great performance within the regime, including the highest Nazi distinction "The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross."

"The fascination of Horror" | Analysis of Hans Landa

Undoubtedly the first and essential thing that the character projects is elegance and bearing. This is thanks to the uniform manufactured in real life by the Hugo Boss company, designed by SS officer and artist Karl Diebitsch, in addition to also being involved in the design of a large part of the SS insignia, he also joined the project the graphic designer Walter Heck (1932).

"The appearance of Colonel Hans Landa"

Valuable mention: Karl Diebitsch has been a member of the party since 1920, member of the Reichsverband Bildenden Kunstler Deutschland (German National Association of Visual Artists).

Within the repertoire of uniforms used by the SS, black stood out. It looked plainly dark and gloomy. The color being popular in fascist and national socialist movements, introduced by the blackshirts (Italy), and traditionally used by the guard cavalry of Prussian emperors and kings. (Leibhusaren).

The Nazi uniform.

"I know a lot of people who get sick when they see this black uniform; we understand that and we don't expect to be loved by many people."

This first analysis will be of one of his scenes, as I see more interest in this article, I will publish the second part.The character has great gifts of charisma at first. Of course this is only clear evidence of a false appearance, since we are talking about the nicknamed "Jew Hunter." He tends to persuade his victims, initially presenting himself with an air of security, cordiality, and politeness, trying at first to make them feel comfortable, and then, in an unpredictable way, beginning to mentally torture them.

"Landa's superficial charm"

The colonel also presents a deep-rooted sense of non-verbal deduction. His abilities transform him into a lie detector, since upon entering a Jewish house, he begins his exhaustive investigation. When talking to the father of the family, Landa speaks metaphorically, referring to the Germans as hawks and the Jews as rats.

"A silent predator"

All this with the intention of generating some discomfort and tension in the place. It is worth emphasizing what he himself said, that he decides to look where others do not. This refers to the information that he is able to have in his hands. And to make the message even clearer, he knows the fact that the father used to smoke with a pipe, immediately after which Landa takes out a larger one to smoke, implying a metaphor of power and superiority.

We could also group this with the fact that he is a perfect reader of his environment. Since when he takes a first look at the family, he notices that they are nervous, he even sees one of the daughters looking at the ground while looking at her father, an undoubted act of nerves. Landa with the excuse of greeting her for looking like the most Aryan in the family (The Aryan race was the one preferred by the Nazis), using this as an excuse to grab her hand and kiss her, at the same time he tends to check the young woman's pulse.

He performs the same action when they offer him something to drink, to which he asks for milk, and when he grabs the hand of another of the sisters, he also proceeds to check her pulse.At this point, Landa already knows that they hide people under the floor, an act previously revealed by one of the Jew's daughters, when she incessantly looked at the ground, at the same time that she appeared nervous when exchanging glances with her father. However, Landa chooses to continue talking.

Perhaps the latter is what identifies the character, his desire to create terror and observe the fear in the faces of his victims.Last and least important, mention that Landa is a polyglot, speaking German, French, English and Italian. A clear sign that the man is intelligent and cultured.In fact, in order not to raise the suspicions of the people who were underground, he begins to speak in French, ordering the father to humor him and giving way to his men to end the lives of those people.

"A man of culture"

At the end of the scene, one of the daughters runs away terrified, carrying with her blood stains belonging to her family.Landa, on the other hand, decides not to pull the trigger and let her go, since he knows that they will meet again, so he proceeds to shout "See you soon."

Definitely, Hans Landa is more than a villain, since I would say that he is an investigative genius. He knows how to prey on his victims and obtain all kinds of information just with non-verbal language. On the other hand, a psychopath, ruthless, narcissistic, lacking in empathy, with a notorious superficial charm. The character is also a work of art by Tarantino himself.

"Between horror and cunning"

Indonesian Constitution 1945 stated that the rights to a clean and healthy environment fall on country responsibility, to which I can conclude that environment is a thing that we have- a right.

Environment

According to the ecocentrism theory, environment is not a right, it is placed horizontal with human- an integral part of life.

Does Environment A Right?

Environment, nature cannot be seen as a right for it bears an important relationship to life as humans do.

L. J. Apeldoorn said that law subject have some important conditions to be met, one of those is competent to take a responsible act- competent of law; law competence. On contrary, Peter Mahmud Marzuki claim that a subject of law is not necessarily a human, for if it can met the conditions of a law subject then it can be given the status of legal subject but not as natural subject but as a derivative legal subject e.g. corporate etc.

Environment as Subject of Law

Ecuador constitution state that environment is a subject of law, furthermore it adds that everyone (without limiting their nationality etc.) can contest in court if he find out and prove that there are violation regarding environment- nature.
