As a part of the The Big Picture cinematic journey, I was invited to share my ideas and visions on the #Pluriverse. Cinthya Sopaheluwakan and team have done a beautiful job of putting together the various ideas coming from different speakers into a cohesive form--a pluriverse of presentations. In this piece, I speak on "What is a pluriverse?" followed by Dr. Wilfred Ukpong speaking about Afrofuturism--"How does Afrofuturism contribute to the concept of the pluriverse, particularly in challenging dominant narratives of a singular world order?" I love the way the ideas segue into each other. This is a representation of the many & myriad #epistemologies, #ontologies, and #cosmologies that constitute our world(s). The #hegemonic_monomyth has tried its best to erase, invisibilize, and deliberately delegitimize all other ways of being, seeing, sensing, relating, learning, and knowing. Reconstituting the #pluriverse is a reclaiming of the way we are, have always been. #Regenerative futures can only be imagined from a place of #plurviersality. A singular cosmology playing the 'god trick' can never lay the foundations for regeneration. Our world is a 'compost of communities', to use Donna Haraway's phrase. And pluriversality is about communities, relationality, non-duality, and participatory worlding--where world-building is more-than-human. We are a #Terrapolis. Do listen.

Communities are built around shared values and a shared mission. ⬇ I’ve been part of Legatus International for 8 years now. It has not only blessed my business, but also my family and my own personal relationship with God. 👉 Legatus is an international organization of Catholic CEOs, presidents, managing partners, and business owners that are on fire for their faith and strive to bring the gospel in every area of life. 👉 Its mission is “to help members study, live, and spread the Catholic faith in all spheres of their life - personal, business, and professional.” St. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 5:14 that “Christ’s love compels us” to live for Him entirely. All too often, placing Christ first in business becomes a side-thought, or a “nice thing to do.” But in reality, it is what we live for. Having a community united in the same mission makes accomplishing it much easier and exciting. 💥 Shout out to Legatus and all its wonderful members I’ve been blessed to know over the years. I’m honored to be a part of its mission!

📚 Exploring the Themes of "My Name is Leon" by Kit De Waal: An Emotional Rollercoaster As we dive into Kit De Waal's profoundly moving novel "My Name is Leon", we uncover layers of complex themes that resonate deeply within our social fabric. From the throes of the 1980s England to the poignant struggles of a young mixed-race boy in the foster care system, this book is a treasure trove for both emotional and intellectual exploration. Here are some key themes that stand out in the first 12 chapters: Identity and Race - Leon's journey is marked by his struggle to understand his own racial identity within a society and a system that often feels alienating. Family and Belonging - The heart-wrenching separation from his younger brother and the complex relationship with his mother poignantly highlights the universal quest for belonging. Powerlessness and Resilience - Despite the overwhelming challenges, Leon's resilience shines as a beacon of hope and the enduring strength of the human spirit. These themes are not just relevant for those studying the novel for GCSEs but resonate with anyone interested in the dynamics of family, race, and resilience against socio-political backdrops. "My Name is Leon" is more than just a novel for academic study; it's a powerful narrative that challenges us to look beyond the surface and understand deeper societal issues. For a deeper dive into these themes, check out my latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/dAmrvfDR Let's discuss how literature like this can influence our understanding of societal dynamics and personal development.

initially posted by Dimitri Aguero: 5 REASONS TO HIRE AN ENGINEER CLOSE TO THE RETIREMENT DAY (Copy of this text is free provided the author is referenced) 1) He is a Generation X. He is loyal, punctual and has a sense of responsibility face to the service where he belongs. He will not leave your company because one of your products mistreats the whales. 2) He does not need to be a manager to exist. He will not require more responsibilities just because of ambition. 3) He spent his life learning. He knows how to acquire new knowledge. 4) He appreciates stability. He will not leave your company just because a competitor pays more, if your pay is good enough and if your working atmosphere is fine. 5) He is willing to share his experience with juniors. He knows, they are not a competitor for him, so you will benefit from free training in your service. Do you still have doubts ? Just check these facts: 1) Icelanders, Romans, Greeks and other nations called their Senate the "Chamber of the Old Men" : Alþingi, Senatus, Gerousia... They provide stability and long-term thinking to their countries. 2) Jacques Chirac became president of France at 63, an age past the legal retirement one. If a nation can trust the nuclear button to a 63 years old man, you may well trust him to deliver that Quality and Project Plan, excusez du peu... 3) Finally, these works were created by aged people... ... at 80: Falstaff, by Giuseppe Verdi ... at 70: Parsifal, by Richard Wagner ... at 84: Im Abendrot, from the Letzte Vier Lieder, by Richard Strauss ... at 71: Las bizarrías de Belisa, by Lope de Vega y Carpio I'm 55. I am carefully preparing my next challenge. Would you like to discuss if you want to benefit from what can I do for you ?

SETI Institute is a non-profit organization dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). The organization was founded in 1984 by a group of scientists, including Carl Sagan and Jill Tarter. 🔭 SETI's flagship program is the Allen Telescope Array (ATA), a radio telescope located in northern California. The ATA is used to search for radio signals that could be indicative of intelligent life. 💰 In 2023, SETI received a $200 million grant from the estate of the late tech entrepreneur Franklin Antonio. Antonio was a longtime supporter of SETI, and his gift will allow the organization to continue its search for alien life. The grant will be used to fund a number of initiatives, including: ▫️ Upgrading the ATA ▫️ Expanding SETI's search for optical signals ▫️ Developing new technologies for searching for alien life SETI's work is important because it could help us to answer one of the most fundamental questions about the universe: Are we alone? https://lnkd.in/gVwB7cUX #SETI #alienlife #science #technology
