What is Hermeneutics? By Ali Zaka Baryar

Hermeneutics refers to the art of interpreting texts, whether they are sacred, philosophical or literary.

Also, through hermeneutics it is intended to find the true meaning of words , both written and verbal.

Hermeneutics has its origins in antiquity, when various thinkers concentrated on the task of interpreting the texts or sacred writings in order to differentiate the truth from the spiritual, and clarify what was ambiguous or unclear. Some of them were Philo of Alexandria, Augustine of Hippo, Martin Luther, among others.

The World After COVID

The day will come when we look back at the pictures of spring 2020: on the horsemen of the apocalypse in the intensive care units from Bergamo to Manhattan, on the artificial coma of civilization, on empty city centers, air spaces, and school buildings. As radical as the break may be, the acute phase of the pandemic ends at some point. Then the economic revival will have to begin. Zero hours are approaching. Political and economic certainties lost their validity in a few weeks. The pathogen will be brought under control, the uncertainty will remain with us for the foreseeable future.

Thought through…
Is an economic development in the form of a “U” or at least an “L” beckoning us? The Federal Government wants to spend well over a trillion euros in the economic cushioning of the crisis - relative to the gross domestic product more than any other country. However, Olaf Scholz's bazooka strategy will probably not be enough, and further stimulus packages will have to follow in the second half of the year.

But it will be worse than Germany in other, more fragile regions of the world. Many emerging economies, in particular, are at risk of losing part of the wealth they have gained in recent decades. Even before it hits the top of the wave of infections, its capital markets are already collapsing. Neither their health systems nor their state coffers are able to pass the Corona stress test.

The rise of the emerging markets was a result of global economic networking, which in its previous form probably seems to have come to an end. Welcome to the age of deglobalization! To increase their resilience to upcoming black swans, many corporations in the West will have to rethink their global, highly efficient, but also vulnerable value chains. Protectionism and unilateralism, political pathogens that spread before Covid-19, will do the rest. “Industrial repatriation” is the new catchphrase.

Many countries leaned on their strong technology, specifically artificial intelligence (AI), and technology to track and fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

What is deja vu?

Déjà vu is a phenomenon that affects the vast majority of people. All, or almost all, ever had the feeling of living a certain situation a second time, even though it has never happened before.

A study from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, performed MRI scans to try to find the origins of this - so far - unexplained event. For that, they used the classic method to generate 'false memories'. This consists of reading to a person a list of related words –such as water, thirst, heat, among others- but without mentioning the connective –for example, 'drinking'. This exercise produces that when the person must list the words, he assures that 'drink' was one of them.

But since creating a false memory is not the same as déjà vu, they added a new step. First, they read the participants all the words without naming 'drink' and then asked if they had heard any that begin with "B". The answer was unanimous: No. However, when asked if they had heard 'drinking', they could not deny it and most showed signs of confusion.



"Faced with this contradiction, the participants commented that they had had this strange experience of déjà vu," explained Akira O'Connor, leader of the research.

O'Connor explained that "the phenomenon that occurs in the brain during déjà vu is actually a process of decision-making or conflict resolution." The brain, he said, would be doing a fact-checking operation ; checking your "memory base" and sending a signal when some kind of error occurs, like this contradiction.

In this way, they determined, déjà vu would be an indication that the brain's control system is working properly. And, in addition, this would explain why it occurs much more in young people and very little in older adults, since at an older age memory begins to deteriorate. Finally, the researchers explained that more studies are still needed to determine all the functions and other possible causes of the instantaneous generation of a "revived memory."

We want Zombies instead of Coronavirus

Novel Coronavirus, or in other words COVID-19 is not coming slow and it sucks. We don't want it. We'd rather have a zombie plague and that's what we want.
