Capsules in Signs and Architecture   Capt Mohamed Hassan Al-Taher 

 

Capsule (1)

Not every feature is proof of belonging.

How many lookalikes have been the cause of calamity…

When the young wolf saw a dog standing beside the sheep, he said to his father: “This one looks like us.”

The father replied:

“Leave the place when you see this creature, for everything we have suffered in life was caused by those who resemble us but do not belong to us.”

Capsule (2)

America and Israel’s war on Iran.

The most complete minds, in my view, are in a constant state of tension, resembling a liminal state swinging between rationality and irrationality. They grasp truths in their spacetime context, then release them once established, searching for other truths whose signs appear on the horizon across ages but have not yet been documented in proximate coordinates. This makes the historical moment one of endless anticipation. And so on…

A state of panpsychism, a monad where the whole does not equal the sum of its parts. A state of holographic warfare.

Capsule (3)

Man resembles a text whose meaning depends on context.

The universe resembles Schrödinger’s cat: studying its dimensions through Euclidean geometry differs from studying it through non-Euclidean geometry. Thomas’s theory of the flat universe in politics does not apply to the oval universe in geometry. Then comes this kinetic energy—the riddle of the cosmos—calculated by time and interacting with the biological energy of the mind. And each swims in its orbit. Energy does not come from nothing; it is transformable into all forms of energy. And so on…

Capsule (4)

Man has a balance with two pans: knowledge and awareness. Through them, he responds to the events of this world—his response may be adaptive, dialectical, or negative. The cognitive entry to strategic choice depends on his psychological readiness and cognitive load. Tell me your response, and I will tell you what cognitive content you carry.

It was said long ago: “A man is hidden beneath his tongue.”

The freest from worry are the freest in insight.

Capsule (5)

Man’s problem is that he was created anxious: when touched by good, he withholds; when touched by evil, he panics. The reason lies in differing mental images of the same event.

This reminds me of a dialogue between a thief who stole a loaf of bread and was taken to the emperor. The thief said: “Because I stole a loaf, I am called a thief. But because you stole a nation, you are called an emperor.”

Clearly, there is a problem of measurement—an old problem in science: the measurement problem.

We need diagnosis after acknowledging the principle of general affliction established in jurisprudence. We must find what is called the antidotes.

The diagnosis shown by the text is one-winged; we need the other wing to fly in the case of an airplane, or to create balance to find treatment in the case of the fly. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Thus, Pharaoh’s mentality gave birth to counter-thought: the countermeasures.

The blind adopt opinions and positions without awareness of their contexts.

In conclusion, man’s problem today is that he has become value-zero, and the problem is imitation. The dilemma now is the oscillation of imitative mentalities between zero-sum equations (Zero-sum game) and zero countermeasures.

Conclusion

Man’s movement between authenticity and modernity requires an old clock with a spring mechanism to adjust time, synchronizing his movement with the timings of his actions to benefit from time. Sometimes we need to adjust the clock five minutes forward or backward to be aware that the appointed time has arrived. That is, to use the time device—advancing or delaying—to achieve people’s interests. Interest is the driver, but ethics are the ruler, and a man’s intention is better than his deed.

Be upright, may God have mercy on you.
