Look at passages such as Leviticus 25:44-46 and Ephesians 6:5 does the Bible teach slavery?

Whether or not the UK government is going to graciously allow her to stay, or deport her back to her ‘country of origin’. The country where she was originally trafficked from. The country she hasn’t seen since she was 10. The country where she has no family, friends, or support structure.

Engels Is Correct!

Today’s Capitalism is just a different evolution of Slavery!

The future does not demand anything of you; only narratives do.

Natural selection is cheap at the population level, but brutal and expensive at the individual level. Responsibility doesn’t disappear; it is redistributed. In biology, the organism “pays” through death and failure rather than through cognitive burden. In conscious organisms, the cost moves inward: deliberation, regret, second-guessing.

So no, disillusionment does not magically remove cost. It only removes illusory cost. You don’t get relief from having to act. You get relief from thinking that action must justify itself cosmically or narratively. You still have to plan. You still have to calculate time and effort. You still have to choose ergonomics. This is unavoidable because local goals are not final causes. They are control parameters. Cleaning the basement is not “for a reason” in the metaphysical sense. It is a short-horizon optimization under constraints such as energy, time, future inconvenience.

The crucial distinction that dissolves the apparent paradox is:

Final causes answer the question “Why must this make sense?” Local goals answer the question “What reduces friction next?”

You don’t set goals because God doesn’t care. You set goals because systems without control variables collapse. This is not responsibility in the moral sense; it is regulation in the cybernetic sense.

I listened to most of the first chapter but had to stop because it was very triggering for me. So I will not be reading the rest of it, but for those who have stronger stomachs than me, it is a really good book and Angela. Y. Davis is a fantastic author.

“Compensate us for slavery” – Jamaica hits out at British Empire, demand billions in reparations

Jamaica is set to petition Queen Elizabeth for compensation to all its citizens as slavery reparations.   The Caribbean country’s government is to petition her Majesty for billions of pounds of compensation but critics say British taxpayers have already paid to free slaves.  Merchants made a fortune as slave traders in Jamaica after it became a British Colony in 1707. Many Jamaicans are…

“So that’s the telephone? They ring… and you run.”

Have we become too dependent on technology? Are we losing the ability or willingness to think and memorise? How many of us today know the phone numbers of our friends and family? On the one hand Computers, phones, iPads are wonderful things but other hand its excess use is diminishing our ability to think. It is true that certainly we are addicted to the technology.

* Excessive use cause anxiety and depression, as well as other mental health problems.

* Avid use of smartphones to take photos, videos, or notes can impair our memory.

* Technological dependency causes impatient and madness when inaccessible to social media, gaming, video etc.

Hence, it is said – “Ati Sarvatra Varjayet”. Meaning – Excess of anything is bad.

Therefore, we need to reduce our dependence on technology for the sack of better life.

* Keep the device out of reach or turning it on silent mode during lunch, or study or family and friend conversation.

* Stop Sleeping with mobile phone.

* Follow no use of technology on weekend.

* Get into hobbies of painting, drawing, play outdoor sports and games.

* Make a habit to write letters and postcards to friends and family for fun.

Breaking your dependence doesn’t mean we have to throw out all our gadgets. It’s about monitoring self and making choices. Those text messages and alerts might make you happy in the moment but living a balanced life will make you happier all the time.
