#Reading through #Dasein

Meaning is something we all hold close to our hearts.

In whatever form we choose to crystallize the moments we treasure, we first comprehend the significance of their meaning.

Being able to read a book

Since our species is based on Community, the motive is to be able to transmit meaning in the simplest way possible.

Through this sharing of meaning, we bond with multiple individuals on scales that most research facilities are still working tirelessly to understand.

The key is being able to understand what each transmission ultimately means to the whole of the community that produced the message and then working through the semantics to decide how much meaning the message brings to you (as the receiver).

Books

Once we move past the idea that a book is a stack of pages, written in one language, we’re able to see the concept of ‘book’ in places that were silent before.

I live in a community of books.

This community is the human species.

Media freedom

Before them lay a kingdom

Supported by a particularly large fandom 

The messages weren’t random

Societal concerns webt in tandem…

Happy belated birthday Bush Radio!

As I wade into this stream of information after joining Twitter, it wasn’t easy to find the right footing but now that I am, I’m starting to understand that certain preconceptions need to be eradicated.

Take M-Net for example. M-Net reacted out of fear of losing their image without realizing that certain people ARE their image. What image does M-Net have now? Is it ironic that now this huge company is being brought to its knees by the man it tried to ruin?

I applaud Gareth for standing his ground. I applaud him for using his influence to bring racists into local discussions that we can actually learn from. Media big shots like M-Net need to understand that they play a key role in solving this race issue. M-Net, you can’t bury a man alive just because he tried to do the right thing for his country. Gareth should be given hero status for having the courage to confront this issue head on, unlike our African leaders who tend to bury their heads in the sand…and yet, still worry about their image. Of what, I ask? If your head is in the sand then the image isn’t worth looking at unless you’re Jennifer Lopez or Beyonce!

Stop humiliating this man who has done a lot for you, M-Net. Show a little respect for your employees please. We are not bicycle parts that you can just discard because you don’t like us. We are working parts of one machine and if you can’t treat us with respect then we, the cogs in the wheel of your machine will have no choice but to take control of the direction we’re going. This is Africa, it wouldn’t be the first time something like this happened.

Respect us.
