In this series, I assume the role of a reader instead of a writer, discussing articles by other writers... things I recommend.
In this edition of “Suggested Reading”, we will start with the first article of a new member. What you think of it depends on your opinions. It has got minimal attention so far, but I think it's a very strong debut here with a very important message. The article is Mandatory Vaxx is a Masterpiece of Hypocrisy (Plus: Unpractical Pragmatism) by @dr_preobrazhensky. Clear writing and clear thinking.
@annayks claims that Bitcoin Cash Will Thrive With or Without Mercenaries. A good article about BCH,price, adoption and leaders.
In How to stake on Dex on SmartBCH for newbies, @Fexonice1 explains the procedure in a very clear and easy-to-understand manner. Useful also for those not already knowing much about how to do this. Just follow the instructions.
@M.Rosenquist writes about important Privacy Concerns for Dual-Use AI Image Clarity Tools. This is an important topic; face recognition technology is a huge threat to privacy, and clarity tools can take face recognition to new heights. But there are other sides of this development as well. The author brings up some of them.
Then we have two articles related to the important problem of censorship: @scottcbusiness published Are Content Approvals A Form Of Censorship? and @NakamotoBch published Internet Censorship Is Killing Freedom And Why You Should Care.
@Temimay expresses concerns in The meta verse vs our privacy.
The rise of the deep fakes by @M3i is a discussion about faking photos, videos and audio recordings. This sort of technology might very well invalidate recorded evidence in the future.
@remona correctly claims that Respecting Different Opinions is an Art, we need to Learn it!
Do we have Selective Blindness or Selective Attention? asks @virtualvariety. A discussion about a very common phenomenon, of which everyone should be aware.
The most recent article by the same author is Did you know that on the Internet there are some basic rules? What's said is fundamental for internet, yet a lot of people fail to follow these unwritten rules.
The best treatise I've read on parenting. by @Stainless_BCH is not politically correct, but it is true, and it is refreshing that someone dares to say it. This post definitely deserves more attention.
@PrincessHiba explains How to Set Boundaries and Why Setting Them Is Important.
A lot of people are unable to make a clear distinction between what they want and what they need, sometimes with catastrophic results. Especially if they borrow to be able to get what they merely want. @Oikawa elaborates on this in Why do you need it? Don't let your desires take over you.
The same author also says: Know your worth! Don't follow others!
@lutch writes about Declining Fertility Around the World. This,in my opinion, is an extremely important observation. I have previously written about The Feminisation of Nature, which I think is the gravest threat to human survival. Basically, @lutch discusses the same topic. The problem definitely needs more attention.
@JustMyRambles01 wrote a thought-provoking article Death - don't fight about bread and milk.
There are many human phobias; it seems as if everything is a phobia for someone. Two members recently wrote about their phobias. @Lucifer01 wrote I have Acrophobia & Kabourophobia! What’s yours?, and @Ling01 wrote Thalassophobia : No To Deep Ocean.
Is it an inherent human trait always to want more of everything, whatever it is? Read what @Queen001 says about it in It never stops.
Here we have an old article by a member, @UsmanAusman, who has not been logged in for almost a year. I include it here because the topic is interesting: The Importance of Cartography to Human History. Personally I love maps. As a child I learned to draw maps of the whole world by heart, and I still like to explore maps as well as the real world with the help of maps. Wherever I go, I want to study good maps before going. But old maps have other dimensions too; they are works of art, and they show us how people from a certain place and time perceived the world.
Another old article by a member who has not been here for many months, but was discussing an interesting topic: The history of the golden ratio in design and its use in various fields by @Hossamm9.4.
Let @Jelena tells us about Wild horses in the south of Serbia.
@David_BCH asks Are you for or against zoos?? This is a not an easy question. As I wrote in a comment to the article:
“On one hand, a zoo is educational and,in the best cases, a place for study and research. On the other hand one can ask if we, as humans, have the right to keep individuals of other species in captivity for our own sake. Shouldn't they have the right to keep their natural habitat and live on their own conditions there? This becomes a moral dilemma - so it is hard to say as well 'yes' as 'no' too zoos. Whatever one answers, there are reasonable objections to that answer.”
Did you know? There is the Dracula Parrot or Vampire Bird asks @susurrodelmisterio.
@Jijisaur recently published My Favorite Mythical Creatures! Rawr! and @Lucifan presented My Favorite Fantasy Novels (1). The latter is about “The Riftwar Saga” by Raymond E. Feist. I agree with @Lucifan that it is one of the best (series of) fantasy novels.
So far we have not looked at posts by contemporary artists here in ”Suggested Reading”. Let's look at one artist, @daring-celt. He describes step by step how he creates his artwork. Take a look at, for instance: Digital art_2019. Moon & Dragon. Talking in the sky and Cat and Bird (graphic with pens-brushes).
For those who have asked why I do not include my own latest articles in every “Suggested Reading”, the answer is that I do. At the very bottom of the post I list my 5 most recent articles.
Read the whole series, ”Suggested Reading” and my series “Retrospection”.
