Re-think Global Warming

Are we able to rethink ourselves?

The global warming debate keeps on popping in and out of our news headlines. It involves us all, yet not all of us are involved. Why?

Scientists are just like ordinary people. They have dreams, ambitions, and nightmares. They have strength of character and character flaws. Scientists seek the truth, yearn for it, and yet they do lie. Scientists can be spot on and totally beyond the point. So is science.

'Gestalt' switch

when a switch in perspective turns paradigmatic

'Gestalt switch' is a process whereby someone's perspective changes from one thing to another... You may experience this when looking at this picture. At first you see one image and then your eyes - in fact, your brain, recognizes the second one and stores it into your memory; forever. The next

RUBIN VASE

At some point in your life, you may have seen the image on the left known as a Rubin vase. The idea behind a Rubin vase is that it demonstrates the way in which the brain makes sense of the world. Or, rather, tries to make sense of the world.

UbuntuFM | Johnny Clegg | Personal Perspectives #3

We had a sit down with Paolo Genovesi, global citizen, self-declared pro-Apartheid supporter, turned pan-Africanist. On the effect of music, musicians, and one musician in particular - Johnny Clegg - who affected his life and altered his world view. Sit back for a lengthy read of an interesting conversation that covers a lot of topics.

Amy Winehouse | Love is a losing game

Reflections on a Jazz revelation.

I never latched on to Amy Winehouse when she was still alive. I thought she was hyped too much at the time. Her music was too subtle to reach me thru the noise of the crowd. Only after her death, once the hubbub had died down, I started to listen to her voice, her way of singing, her lyrics & music.

Suthukazi Arosi | Black and White

Youtube video by Suthukazi Arosi

BLACK AND WHITE is a song about us - human beings with all the hatred that has turned against all humanity for centuries. Civilised as we are but still dwelling on racism. God created us all with love and so beautifully without seeing any colour but embracing colour as his creation. The song is calling on all human beings to stop this mentality that is tearing us up - and our beautiful planet - from generation to generation.
