Memorable Quotes from At eternity's Gate - Life of Van Gogh

-
Some memorable quotes from the film:

Maybe god made me a painter for people who are not born yet.

Life is for sowing, the harvest is not here.

I paint with my qualities and faults.

I find joy in sorrow. And sorrow is greater than laughter.

An angel is not far from those who are sad. An illness can sometime heals us

VG: I'll show what i see, to my human brothers, who don't see it.  It's a privilege. I can give them hope and consolation.

Doctor: but you are confusing people with your paintings.

VG: I am my paintings.

Doctor: What do you mean hope and consolation? You might be asking too much of people.

VG: I like to share my vision with people who can't  see what I see the way I see it.

Doctor: yes but why?

VG : because my vision is closer to the reality of the world.

The Triad of Knowledge Disorder From ego to emptiness to impotence: the three faces of knowledge in decay. By Zaky Jaafar (AI assisted) We live in an age of unprecedented knowledge. Data streams unceasingly, scientific discoveries multiply daily, and technologies advance at a speed previous civilizations could hardly imagine. Yet in spite of these accomplishments, there is a growing sense that humanity is not wiser but more confused, fragmented, and endangered than ever before. Our age has bred a peculiar paradox: we are clever but not wise, powerful but disoriented, connected but alienated. This paradox suggests that the problem is not a lack of knowledge but a distortion within knowledge itself. The disorder is not quantitative—more data will not save us—but qualitative: knowledge has been stripped of its transcendent anchor, its unifying telos, and its integrative wholeness. To name this crisis, I propose what I call the Triad of Knowledge Disorder, consisting of three interwoven ...

Sumber foto: AI Oleh Fikir Lestari Taksonomi Bloom telah begitu menguasai imaginasi dan amalan pendidikan kontemporari sehingga ia sering diterima sebagai kerangka semula jadi pembelajaran, khususnya dalam perancangan kurikulum dan penilaian. Artikel ini bertujuan mencabar penerimaan tidak kritis tersebut dengan membaca semula andaian Taksonomi Bloom melalui lensa ta’dib seperti yang dihuraikan oleh Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas (1991), serta konsep individuality dalam Psikologi Individu Alfred Adler (1927; 1930). Kritikan Adler terhadap pemecahan manusia kepada fungsi-fungsi terasing mempunyai gema yang kuat dalam tradisi pendidikan Islam. Adler menegaskan bahawa manusia tidak boleh difahami sebagai himpunan fakulti yang beroperasi secara terpisah, kerana berfikir, merasa dan bertindak membentuk satu orientasi hidup yang bersatu (Adler 1927). Dalam kerangka Islam pula, ilmu tidak pernah difahami sebagai proses kognitif yang neutral atau bebas nilai. Ilmu sentiasa terikat dengan tuju...

Personal Discretion in decision making is a must for academia

Recently we read a posting of how people with talents are hindered from achieving their true potential in academia. ( https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2019/05/05/returning-home-to-work-ex-nasa-scientist-claims-sidelined-by-patronage-syst/1749791) We, educational entities should adopt a different management philosophy to that of security and  defence entities. While they insist on what cannot be done, our philosophy should focus more on what can possibly done. Our industry is dealing with liberating human mind. We educate people to invite possibilities, explore opportunities. Instead of busy putting up fences, we should at every opportunity creates opening. Also we should be less busy creating goal posts and shifting them. Today I read an fb posting by VC UMK (fb Noor Azizi ISmail) The para that attracts my attention is .. "  Being a leader we must be able to spot the right talents. They are different and unique but if given the right opportunity and support t...
