Beyond Babylonia:
Beyond the sands of time, there are mysteries beyond the baffling Babylonian beguiling sands—oh, the mysteries hidden beneath the Antarctic icebergs, veiling ancient secrets of world , and pyramids built all around the globe aligned with celestial wonders! Yuri Gagarin's account on the disappearance of the sky in space—a perplexing encounter! And Neil Armstrong's moonwalk was an incredible feat! But the pioneers who plan to explore Mars and beyond—how amazing to be venturing into the cosmic unknown! Oh, the pure awe and wonderment contained within the essence of being!
Discovering the intriguing secrets concealed inside Babylon's convoluted kingdom is more than just confusion and enchantment.
A veil cloaks the enigmatic in the labyrinthine expanse of Babylonian Bedlam, where bedazzling riddles dance amidst the ether, evading comprehension, shrouded within the perplexing symphony of perplexity and fascination, beckoning the intrepid seeker to unravel the intricate tapestry of the enigmatic web of knowledge.
Human knowledge remains a fractured mosaic, confined by expressive restrictions and obscured by biases inherent in its own development, locked by the chains of language.
Existence questions explore into the fundamental nature of our being. Do we discover our essence within, shaped by our experiences and thoughts, or is it defined by the exterior world and its influences? Is our intellect the source of our emotions, propelling us ahead, or are we just propelled by external forces? Are we the creation of the universe/multiverse, shaped by its vastness, or do we contain the universe within us, each a microcosm of the cosmos itself? Do we create a cognitive world as beings or our existence is a mirage like illusion in the vast galactic path. Can we ever comprehend the creation or the creator?
With its empirical methods, science solves many puzzles, but is it truly perfect? Is it all-encompassing, answering every imaginable question? Can it encompass the intangible components of our existence, such as emotions and spirituality? What drives us to question our purpose and origin? Is our being the outcome of chance or design, and what drives our existence from beginning to end?
Do parallel universes exist in this wide space, where others ponder identical existential concerns, or are we alone in our musings? Is our reality an objective truth, or is it a creation, an illusion that we all share? These questions highlight the perplexing character of our life, leading us to seek answers in the midst of the unknown; asymmetry inside symmetry and symmetry within asymmetry mediated through the restricted medium of constricted language!
A dilemma unfolds in the vast depths of human knowledge—a puzzle continually entwined within the threads of language, perception, and interpretation. From the ancient lanes of Ur to the digital crossroads of today, the tapestry of understanding stands as a tangled web, a convergence of narratives, and an illusion of supposed certainties. The world weaves the complex interplay of balanced and contrasting parts in the fabric of existence, an exquisite tapestry of asymmetry within symmetry and symmetry inside asymmetry.
Human knowledge, which is generally seen as valuable, is cloaked in mystery. It is both our lighthouse and our labyrinth, a beautiful yet challenging journey through the cryptic regions of expression. In attempting to depict this limitless journey, a mission to delve into the depths of our collective consciousness, an unsettling question arises: what is beyond the layers of cognition we accept as truths?
The fabric of what we see as truths, the narrative of understanding, is an ambiguous labyrinth of conjectures, a mystery spoken through the halls of time. As we embark on this journey through the halls of human knowledge —a torch bearer in the darkness, a summons to challenge, examine, and illuminate the hidden corners of our understanding.
Mediation through Language
Exploring the mediation of information through language leads to an enthralling trip that reveals the fundamental boundaries that overlap human cognition and knowledge distribution. This investigation sheds light on the fragmented structure of human knowledge, its facets and layers, which are constrained by expressive constraints and hidden in biases inherent in its evolution. It necessitates critical inquiry and a drive to transcend traditional ideologies in order to reveal the complexities of language as a knowledge mediator, inviting a reevaluation of perceptions and a comprehensive exploration of multifarious existence and knowledge mediation. The piece invites you to explore the intriguing Bastion of Babylonia Bedlam, a region where skepticism triumphs over certainty, inviting you to seek out new realities. It elicits an analysis that aims to deconstruct assumed certainties, prompting the questioning of the very nature of the underlying fabric of knowledge.
Language, the rich fabric of words, is the vessel on which human knowledge sails. It is our means of communication, the elixir through which ideas, emotions, and philosophies take shape and coherence. However, its elegance conceals a complex maze of restrictions and biases.
Language serves as a vital mediator in the flow of information and serves as the primary conduit via which knowledge is transferred. However, constraints and biases are profoundly established throughout this dense network of linguistic expression, altering knowledge representation. These lacunae in transmission create a complicated interplay between what is conveyed, how it is interpreted, and the inherent biases that shape the portrayal of the information.
We frequently overlook the problems inherent in this linguistic construct. It's a system that is fundamentally constrained by its own design, constrained by the limits of speech. It's a vessel that leaks, distorts, and occasionally perverts the intended message. Gaps, misconceptions, and the possibility of misinterpretation result from gaps in our linguistic communication.
The problems in language transmission stem from its dual nature—it is capable of both accurately representing and misleading information. This duality produces gaps and biases, resulting in a disjointed understanding that is dependent on interpretation. The complexities of this transmission process highlight the difficulties in assuring a truthful and unbiased portrayal of knowledge, shedding light on the complexities of limitations of linguistic expression. The 'homo loquacious' intellectuals' Sesquipedalian tedency to engage in the manifestation of prolix exposition through an expression of form of communication cannot liberate human beings from the constraints of their loquacity.
Geographically Restricted Human Narrrative:
Limited geography is crucial in structuring knowledge representation, often tying narratives to specific cultural hubs. This restriction excludes varied perspectives and a worldwide diversity of knowledge. Critiquing this limited narrative reveals the importance of adopting a larger range of views, so extending our understanding and transcending the constraints imposed by regional linguistic and cultural barriers. What's more intriguing is the restriction of our entire knowledge narrative within the hallways of specific cultural hotspots. From Jerusalem and Athens to London and the intellectual corridors of New York, enormous domains of human experience and understanding are excluded. As it stands, the narrative is bound to specific locations, ignoring the abundance of knowledge from distant lands such as China and beyond.
This constraint serves as a harsh reminder that our knowledge, which has been painstakingly developed and disseminated, is limited by language and the cultural contexts it symbolizes. The worldview we generate is not universal; it is a collection of ideas recorded inside distinct cultural linguistic frameworks. This is the essence of the human condition: the linguistic and cultural constraints we occupy influence and frequently confine our perception and expression of knowledge.
This insight provides the impetus for a more broad, inclusive approach to knowledge. It invites us to transcend the restrictions of geography and go beyond the constraints of language, creating a richer tapestry of varied narratives and viewpoints. It encourages us to venture beyond the known boundaries of our linguistic and geographical limits, striving to embrace the hidden stories, unspoken wisdom, and huge reservoirs of understanding that reside in our world's distant echoes.
We can only strive to a more broad, global, and nuanced grasp of the vast spectrum of human knowledge if we acknowledge the limitations and biases of our linguistic mediation.
Mediation of knowledge through language is a delicate dance between expression and limitation. As we battle with the medium's flaws and prejudices, it becomes increasingly important to broaden the scope of our narratives, embracing the wealth of various knowledge, cultures, and perspectives that exist beyond the limitations of our language and cultural predispositions. Only then can we hope to create a more comprehensive and inclusive canvas of human comprehension.
Let us go beyond the appeal of the familiar to address the doubts that lurk at the heart of our knowledge. Because it is in this daring encounter that the genuine nature of comprehension is revealed.
Let us go deeper into the finer tapestry of human comprehension and knowledge mediation.

"Arrival"
How might our understanding of time change if we perceived it as a circular concept rather than a linear one, as portrayed in the movie "Arrival"?
Inspiration: Arrival (2016), a thought-provoking moving movie about aliens, language, and a new concept of time
"Arrival" is a fantastic science-fiction film that goes into the complexities of interacting with extraterrestrial beings. After twelve unexplained spacecraft appear throughout the earth, a linguist collaborates with the military to decode the alien communication and speak with alien lifeforms. The plot revolves around Louise and Ian, who are seeking to interpret the extraterrestrial language that has landed on Earth. Louise's experiences with the aliens reveal a nonlinear perspective of time as the story progresses. The shocking surprise shows that her recollections of her late daughter, Hannah, are not flashbacks, but rather foreshadowings of the future. Louise, influenced by non-linear time perception, predicts Hannah's death, Ian's departure, and her daughter's awful end. Despite this, she chooses to enjoy the joy of raising her baby for the next 12 years, well aware of the impending pain. The film is a thought-provoking voyage into the complexity of time, language, and the human experience, leaving audiences emotionally touched and pondering their choices in the face of fate. Denis Villeneuve skillfully crafts this profound narrative, adapted from Ted Chiang's short story( or a science fiction novella) 'Story of Your Life,' creating a remarkable and genuinely touching experience.
