Shanghai seals off street as city battles worst virus outbreak in two years | Euronews

Seventeen million people in the Chinese tech hub of Shenzhen began their first full day under lockdown Monday, as a key factory making iPhones closed and restrictions spread across Shanghai and other major cities in an effort to extinguish the biggest-ever threat to the nation’s zero-tolerance Covid strategy.

The southern city of Shenzhen took the measures on Sunday as authorities battled an Omicron flare-up in factories and neighbourhoods linked to nearby Hong Kong, which is recording scores of daily deaths as the virus runs rampant.

What Will We Do?

Filosofa's Word

In the past week, I have heard of at least two Republican members of Congress who basically said that what is happening in Ukraine is awful and that we should support Ukraine … with thoughts and prayers, but not anything that costs the U.S. money.  At least one, Warren Davidson of Ohio, was complaining about the inclusion of the $13.6 billion in aid for Ukraine that was included in the larger — much larger — spending bill passed last week.  No doubt the views of these two are largely representative of their party as a whole.  In my opinion, this “America First” bullshit needs to end NOW!  Today there was a newsletter from Robert Reich waiting in my inbox.  It is short but describes ever so well the situation we’re in today …

Ein sehr seltsamer, quälend langer, wahrscheinlich verwirrender und abstrakter Text darüber, wie das menschliche Gehirn funktioniert und Informationen umwandelt. Eine moderne Metapher, die erstmal als Bild in meinem Gehirn entstand und später ich das Bedürfnis verspürte, alles mit Worten versuchen, zu beschreiben. Der Originaltext wurde auf Griechisch verfasst. Im Grunde ist der Text eine Metapher darüber, wie das menschliche Gehirn Reize und Informationen aufnimmt und beschließt und diese in etwas Anderes umwandelt. Ich denke, dass der vorliegende Text auch von der Kunst der Alchemie inspiriert wurde.

Was viele von uns nicht verstehen ist Folgendes: dass die sich bewegenden Gefäße, die sich hin und her bewegen, sehr wichtige Rezeptoren für die Herstellung von Ideen sind. Wir haben uns wahnsinnig der Umwandlung jeder Form von Energie gewidmet – natürlich mit dem ultimativen Ziel, sie zu nutzen, aber wir ignorieren das grundlegende Zentrum und den Kern, aus dem die Ideen geboren werden: der…
