Aristotle criticized Plato's theory of Forms by arguing that knowledge comes from sense experience, not prior knowledge of ideal forms. Aristotle believed in empiricism and that knowledge is gained a posteriori through the senses. However, his theories of causation and a prime mover initiating motion are difficult to prove and have been criticized by later philosophers like Russell who argued the universe has no design or cause. While Aristotle's ideas influenced many thinkers, the debates between rationalism and empiricism continue without resolution.
The document discusses euphemisms, which are terms that replace taboo words. [1] Taboo words are often replaced with euphemisms to avoid directly mentioning uncomfortable topics like death, disease, or occupations considered indecent. [2] However, euphemisms can also cause problems by glossing over meanings, creating inefficiencies with multiple replacement terms for the same thing, or generating new conflicts around political correctness. [3] While euphemisms serve the purpose of avoiding taboo language, they must be used in moderation to avoid further issues.

Parasystole Journey: Visiting Ancient Light Tribes During Shamanic Journeys B...Margaret E. Gill
What I have done during these journeys can be explained by using Michael Talbot's view, as described in his book, "The Holographic Universe". I have "plucked out scenes from the long-forgotten past." And in so doing, I have changed what happened.
Here is his explanation:
"In a holographic universe, even time and space could no longer be viewed as fundamentals. Because concepts such as location break down in a universe in which nothing is truly separate from anything else, time and three-dimensional space, like the [two] images of the fish on the TV monitors, would also have to be viewed as projections of this deeper order. At its deeper level, reality is a sort of superhologram in which the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously. This suggests that given the proper tools it might even be possible to someday reach into the superholographic level of reality and pluck out scenes from the long-forgotten past."

The poems are written by well-known authors such as William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, William Butler Yeats, and Thomas Hardy.
This document provides an introduction to poetry, discussing various poetic elements and techniques. It begins by defining poetry and noting that it uses musical language to capture intense experiences. It then explains that poetry has a speaker and is formatted differently than prose, often using lines and stanzas. The document goes on to discuss several key elements of poetry, including rhythm, sound devices like rhyme and alliteration, and imagery. It emphasizes that both the left and right brains are used in analyzing and understanding poetry.
This document provides context for analyzing poetry through key elements of language, structure, poetic devices, character voice, and comparisons to other works. It then analyzes a poem about a woman who reminisces about how men used to worship her but after marriage became her husband's possession. The tone shifts from reminiscent to dramatic as she describes losing her independence and voice. Links are drawn to other poems about women who lose their power or voice like Medusa and My Last Duchess. Interpretations focus on a feminist reading of how men's affections can control women if not kept at a distance.
The poem is told from the perspective of a horse whisperer. It describes their gift for calming horses in three aggressive stanzas, using imagery and references to folk magic. However, the introduction of machinery made their skills obsolete. They were driven away and scorned as demons. In the final stanza, the horse whisperer expresses sadness over the loss of the horses and their pride.
The poem expresses frustration that the speaker was only taught about European historical figures and events in school, but not about important people and movements from his own culture and history. He lists several famous Europeans he learned about, such as Dick Whittington, Lord Nelson, and Columbus, but was not taught about seminal figures from his own history, like Toussaint L'Ouverture, Nanny of the Maroons, and Mary Seacole. Through this contrast, the poem criticizes the dominance of the Western perspective in education and calls for the inclusion of diverse historical narratives.
This poem explores the relationship between a young Scottish boy and his imaginary friend Brendon Gallacher. Through repetition of phrases like "my Brendon Gallacher" and descriptions of their interactions by the river, the speaker conveys his close bond with Brendon. However, the illusion is shattered when the speaker's mother realizes there are no Gallachers living next door as claimed. From that point, Brendon dies in the speaker's mind, represented by his spiky hair and grin fading on the bedroom floor.
The speaker is an Indian shopkeeper who addresses the audience in a playful dialect. [1] He describes his demanding wife who belittles him and treats him more like an employee than a husband. [2] Each night as they sit together in the shop, she asks him to assign a price to the moon, continuing to see him only as a shopkeeper. [3]
This document provides an analysis of the poem "The Ruined Maid" by Thomas Hardy. It examines the key elements of language, structure, poetic devices, character, and voice used in the poem. There are two main speakers: a country maid who left her village and a former friend who encounters her now living in town. Through their dialogue and contrasts in dialect, the poem explores the hardships of rural life versus the false glamour of city life and how society "ruins" women.
This document provides an overview of key elements to consider when analyzing poetry, including character and voice. It discusses analyzing who is speaking in the poem and to whom, as well as their tone of voice. The document then provides an excerpt of the poem "The Clown Punk" as an example and interpretations that could be drawn from the poem, such as it portraying societal prejudice or being a lesson about how life decisions affect one's future.
This document provides context and analysis for the poem "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley. It examines the key poetic devices and literary techniques used, including rhyme, meter, enjambment, and caesura. It also analyzes the character and voice within the poem, noting how the unnamed traveler relates the story of encountering the shattered statue of Ramesses II, known as Ozymandias, in the desert. The document concludes that the poem serves as a symbolic representation of the arrogance of man and the transient nature of power and glory.

The Strategy Behind ReversingLabs’ Massive Key-Value MigrationScyllaDB
ReversingLabs recently completed the largest migration in their history: migrating more than 300 TB of data, more than 400 services, and data models from their internally-developed key-value database to ScyllaDB seamlessly, and with ZERO downtime. Services using multiple tables — reading, writing, and deleting data, and even using transactions — needed to go through a fast and seamless switch. So how did they pull it off? Martina shares their strategy, including service migration, data modeling changes, the actual data migration, and how they addressed distributed locking.

To benefit consumers and businesses, Global CBPRs promote trust and accountability while moving toward a future where consumer privacy is honored and data can be transferred responsibly across borders.
This webinar will review:
- What is a data transfer and its related risks
- How to manage and mitigate your data transfer risks
- How do different data transfer mechanisms like the EU-US DPF and Global CBPR benefit your business globally

Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State StoreScyllaDB
kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra.
By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...).
It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the application’s state.
As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.
