News Articles Shop Account Another Brick in the Wall: Ancient China, Its Overlooked (or Is It Unknown?) Legacy) Is it any wonder why today’s China has little love for the West? To say Westerners have not always given China its due would be a massive understatement. Some of this lack of recognition results from ignorance and some from racism. Levi Seeley in his History of Education (1904) managed both in one paragraph: The civilization of the ‘Celestial Empire’ has certainly contributed but little to the advancement of the world. Were it not that this nation furnishes a most striking illustration of false methods, the study of Chinese education might be omitted without loss. For some reason, Seeley then saw the need to illustrate these ‘false methods’ and so he devotes a full nine uncomplimentary pages to the ‘Celestial Empire.’ However, over the centuries, China has been the wellspring of big ideas, many of which the West claims as its own. Other Chinese breakthroughs may have happened concurrently with other early civilizations. (Rather Complicated) Writing Begins The earliest beginnings of Chinese writing were a mystery until 1899, when the Yüan River flooded. The floodwaters receded, revealing animal bones bearing inscriptions etched in ancient Chinese characters. Study of these ‘oracle bone inscriptions’ has shed new light on China’s ancient history, revealing the development of writing in China around 1200 BC, during the Shang Dynasty. While the possibility exists that writing in Sumeria and Egypt influenced the Chinese invention, there is no support for such a hypothesis. There is some evidence to suggest that writing in China began even earlier than 1200 BC, as pottery exists from an earlier period bearing writing-like marks. However, the evidence is inconclusive. As the name suggests, oracle bones were bones used for predicting the future, and the script engraved on them is the precursor to modern Chinese script. In fact, they provide the first mention of ‘school’ in Chinese literature: “Is it auspicious for the children to go to school? Will it rain on their way home?” Definitive proof that even in 1200 BC, fretting, overprotective parents would use the latest technology to protect their poor little darlings. Of course, not all uses of the oracle bone ritual were so frivolous, and the royal court became a virtual post office for divine revelations from the honored ancestors. The gatekeeper for these messages from beyond was, of course, the Shang emperor. Word of Mouth The origin story of the Shang Dynasty will sound somewhat familiar to fans of Thoth. Legend has it that the wife of Emperor Ku somehow contrived to swallow an egg that was dropped by a blackbird, resulting in the miraculous birth of her son Xie. This singled out Xie as someone special. For his role in helping Yu the Great control a flood, he was given control of the region of Shang, and the Shang Dynasty was born. Perhaps there was an ancient meme that required legendary characters to have their parents impregnated by random things being introduced into their mouths. The idea that at least two mythical characters were inseminated in this way displays something of an oral fixation. That, and a woeful ignorance of human reproductive biology. In 1112 BC, the emperor Wu-yi made the mistake of mocking the gods and not long after was killed by a bolt of lightning. It was all downhill for the Shang Dynasty from there. Continue reading...

Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 May 9 IXPE Explores a Black Hole Jet Illustration Credit: NASA, Pablo Garcia Explanation: How do black holes create X-rays? Answering this long-standing question was significantly advanced recently with data taken by NASA’s IXPE satellite. X-rays cannot exit a black hole, but they can be created in the energetic environment nearby, in particular by a jet of particles moving outward. By observing X-ray light arriving from near the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy BL Lac, called a blazar, it was discovered that these X-rays lacked significant polarization, which is expected when created more by energetic electrons than protons. In the featured artistic illustration, a powerful jet is depicted emanating from an orange-colored accretion disk circling the black hole. Understanding highly energetic processes across the universe helps humanity to understand similar processes that occur on or near our Earth.

One day in retrospect the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful. ~ Sigmund Freud Sigmund Freud Sigmund Freud, the renowned neurologist and founder of psychoanalysis, believed that our unconscious mind is as powerful as our conscious mind. It is often in life’s hardest times that we experience the most growth — though it may not feel like it to our conscious mind in the moment. Struggle can bring out hidden depths of tenacity and determination within us that may otherwise remain latent but are exactly what we need to cross the proverbial finish line. We may not look back fondly on those times of struggle, but through honest introspection, we can glean the beauty from them. Mary Live long and prosper

A recent study found that talk therapy is becoming more popular among American adults, while the use of psychiatric medication without therapy is declining. ? ?This trend is the opposite of a previous period, in the 1980s and 1990s, when medication began being widely used as a sole treatment. “We’re seeing that during this time, this increase represents a period where psychotherapy is assuming a more important role in outpatient mental health care,” Dr. Mark Olfson, the study’s lead author, told NPR. ? Olfson explained that while about 6.5% of American adults received psychotherapy in 2018, that figure went up to 8.5% in 2021. The study also found that during the same time period, the percentage of those using medication exclusively (with no therapy) decreased from 67.6% to 62.1%. And a growing number of patients are in talk therapy with no medication use for depression, anxiety, or trauma and stressor-related disorders. ? “Overall, it suggests that psychotherapy [is] becoming more accessible to people and people are able to take advantage of it,” said Olfson.

May 9, 2025 This week’s theme Words with all the vowels This week’s words elucidatory questionary cylindraceous autocephality quodlibetary Illustration: Anu Garg + AI A.Word.A.Day with Anu Garg quodlibetary PRONUNCIATION: (kwod-LIB-uh-ter-ee) MEANING: adjective:Relating to a discussion or debate involving subtle or hypothetical points. noun:1. One who takes part in such a discussion. 2. One who does whatever pleases them. 3. A subtle or hypothetical point. ETYMOLOGY: From Latin quodlibetum (whatever pleases), from Latin quod (what) + libet (it pleases). Earliest documented use: 1604. NOTES: In medieval universities, a quodlibetary question was one posed at will -- anything the audience pleased -- and answered by a scholar in public debate. These discussions could range from profound to playful, often spotlighting a debater’s wit and agility. The word also lives on in music: a quodlibet is a medley of familiar tunes humorously combined. Think of it as a musical potluck -- whatever pleases. USAGE: “Down with the disputations, cardinal and quadlibetary.” Victor Hugo (Translation: J.C. Beckwith); The Hunchback of Notre-Dame; Routledge; 1891. A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause... It is such a splendid sunny day, and I have to go. But how many have to die on the battlefield in these days, how many young, promising lives. What does my death matter if by our acts thousands are warned and alerted. -Sophie Scholl, student and anti-Nazi activist (9 May 1921-1943) [Her last words before being executed by guillotine.] We love your comments.
