The only reason corporations aren’t trading employees like property is because capitalism is designed so that *we* have to beg to work for *them*

We really don't think about the incredible thing that is verbal communication enough. While the universe is full of marvelous processes that we are barely on the cusp of comprehension, let's turn our attention to the power and versatility in human verbal communication.

A single syllable can convey so much. But before we get ahead of ourselves, think back to the very beginning. Primitive verbal communication is an instinctual behavior that begins as soon as we exit the womb. We cry to alert our mothers to our needs for warmth and sustenance. It becomes a learned behavior that we use regularly to receive attention or express displeasure. This is simple learned cause and effect using the biologically programmed safeguard processes we were born with.

Amazingly, our brain works fast to find more of these cause-and-effect patterns. We quickly understand through practice which sound sequences lead to which outcomes. Eventually, we manage to grasp our first words, often the labels for the most prominent factors in our lives: our parents. Through great coaxing and assistance we squeeze out a "mama" or "dada" and begin our trek into the world of speech.

Now, let's look back on what we've already accomplished in the short time since we've been born. Not only is our fleshy little head computer maintaining daily functions and attempting to calibrate the body that's doing so much growing, it's constantly taking in our surroundings and trying to process that data into understandable information. On top of that, we've begun to understand that certain sounds can mean certain items, people, or concepts, and that this goes both ways- we can manifest that which we desire through selective sound patterns just as easily as we can predict what is coming our way through reception of said patterns.

As we grow, we learn more sound patterns, eventually discovering the term for these patterns to be "words". We learn more words, and through repetition, neural pathways are formed that allow us to almost reflexively speak these words without any thought or conscious effort at all. They run paths so deep into our minds that we will know and understand these words and this language until death.

But it is not all about what we can speak, it is also about what we receive! We take in so much information on a daily basis because the people never stop talking and we never stop listening. The meanings we assign these words run as deep as the neural reflex structures they're built on and it allows us to visualize everything we hear as quickly as we hear it; bringing forth lively images and understanding of sentences we have never heard before.

When you combine these processes and functions, you are given an unending number of possible combinations in which you can arrange the circumstances and information to the point that there will truly never be two identical instances of interpersonal communication. I will not even attempt to summarize that topic of conversation anymore than the simple mention of it already does.

I believe the point I came into this post to make was that sometimes we need to step back and take a look at the accomplishments we as an individual have achieved and how incredible it is that we did so, as well as the fact that we didn't do it alone, but as an entity: humankind.

I'll post something later about the power and responsibility of communication.

Been hearing some stuff about Iran wanting to attack the homeland, which we all know is a key step in world war or nuclear retaliation.

I want to remind everyone though that this is coming from Big Media, controlled by the Administration. They will bend us over and fuck us in every sense of the phrase to spin a little yarn that tells the story they want to tell.

This is very possibly an attempt to generate support for the otherwise meaningless war.

Fuck

Intro Post

Good evening Lords and Ladies of Tumblr. It's been quite some time since I've been on here since I am disgustingly bad at consistent social media posting. But I like tumblr best out of all of the options so bear with me.

My name is Ashuriah Thefou. I am a young student in Texas set on learning, helping my people, and creating a better world. I am a son, a brother, a friend, an activist, a writer, a craftsman, a boyfriend, and much more, but above all else, I am a human. We're in this fight together whether we like it or not, so slow down, give me some of your workload, and let's figure out our problems together.

I fucking hate instagram and twitter and reddit isn't great for personal growth and socialization so I'm here to share what I do, learn from others, and share my experiences and knowledge.

What do I do though? I craft (metal, wood, leather, 3d printing, fiber arts), I write, I speak, I help people, and more! I had a lot of ideas when thinking of starting a social media page but nothing in particular came to the front. I think here you'll mostly find progress updates and tutorials for a variety of projects, ramblings of the man I hope to become, business updates as I start my company, and humanity project updates as I attempt to create a new societal function with my close partners-in-crime. Oh! And I can't leave out the fact that I make custom tactical and functional gear, gadgets, and garb. Send me a message or an ask for requests, I'm making free shit right now 🤙

Some goals I have for the year ahead: - maintain posting consistency - finish my master to-do list - establish the presence of Seihll Noa, our societal reform project - protect my city - probably kick one ice agent's ass - not get drafted for wwiii - marry my girlfriend (don't tell her i said that, she doesn't have tumblr)

If you want to see change in the world, want to see me make cool shit, or want to discuss ethics, communication, and politics with me, let's become mutuals :3

Much love, Ashuriah <3

Rlsh are often considered childish. Why?

There is still a bit of child in each of us that lives on and people in the so called “real world” would rather see it die than try to rekindle the hopes and dreams we still hold onto

They don’t want to be that way but they don’t have a choice because life is hell and it tears people apart

And so, even though the goals and things we want to do are not childish, it’s the idea that we can be super and heroic and make big differences while still having fun and being happy community figures that I think they really find childish

Especially when you consider that adults around the world read comics and watch superhero movies

It’s not the capes, it’s the work

i love when people come together to share knowledge. i got a dude from reddit helping me fix my car and another dude from reddit helping me build a motorcycle purely for the love of the game. life is good

They’ll keep knocking us down but we got to stand up
