Bakul : 'Everyday Baskets' Exhibition with Jennifer P. Linggi
The Godown presents Bakul: Everyday Baskets from Sabah from January 7 to February, 2023. This 7-week long exhibition showcases the bakul collection of Sabahan author and collector Jennifer P. Linggi and wants to momentarily transport you into their world:
~ To know these baskets is to go into their world. And this world springs from rattan, bamboo, bemban, mengkuang and other plants from the jungle. It is also from the sun, the rain, the mud, the leeches, the insects, the microbes, the things that make up the fierce forest. Each basket is a kind of fresh wonder, a transformation, from a plant, cut, carried back to a village, shaved, peeled, woven, filled with rice, strapped on the human back, trapping fish, carrying a mountainfull of bananas, storing medicine, working, carrying a baby ~ Ling Hao
This is a no-shoes exhibition at the Main Hall of The Godown.
Opens daily 12pm-6pm (Mon-Thu), 12pm - 7pm (Fri-Sun).
Presented by The Godown

The Good Ancestor Mindset by Roman Krznaric
Переглядів 793 роки тому
Human beings have an astonishing evolutionary gift: agile imaginations that can shift in an instant from thinking on a scale of seconds to a scale of years or even centuries. The need to draw on our capacity to think long-term has never been more urgent, whether in areas such as public health care, to deal with technological risks, or to confront the threats of an ecological crisis. And there i...
Passion for learning (Isaac Asimov)

Isaac Asimov Interview with Bill Moyers (1988) Firstly he mentioned about his ideas of future studies with his book "As far as the human eye can see." Later he goes in more details of how to cultivate a passion for learning. Really interesting and inspiring man. Wished i had the privilege to meet him in the same time period 😇. To see full video look for World of Ideas by Isaac Asimov or just se...
He already explained searching and learning on Google/search engines way before they were produced!
I really love this video ❤
❤
Too bad he didn't predict biased search engines, algorithmic censorship, and social media tribalism. :/

Asimov on the possibility of the Internet. Genius.
Wow this man actually predicted Alexa
I saw this segment a long time ago and it stuck with me. Now here I am with copies of Asimov's "New Guide to Science" (80s edition) and "The History of Physics." You can look at Asimov's prodigious non-fiction output as his way of reinforcing his learning. After all, as Thomas Sowell said (paraphrasing), one sure way of testing how well you understand an idea is how easily you can explain it to someone else. Lucky for us that a considerable portion of his non-fiction is still available and I can't wait to dig into these two books with the spirit of self-teaching that Asimov inspirationally speaks about here. :)
wonderful intervention by Isaac Asimov! yes, we should learn until we know nothing about every thing...learning and enjoy learning as you can, whenever you can
small changes have big result, especially in system in a super critical state; like the atmosphere of the terrestrial globe
I have a degree in Pedagogy and man, I can say Asimov was really ahead of his time
To paraphrase Elvis Presley's "If I don't move I'm dead" - If I don't learn something new everyday...
I think it was ""If I don't move my bowels I'm dead"
Beautifully Said!
I wonder when Isaac talk to you four years ago and express his feelings of life reality of what it was and by the evidence of this present time by looking at the way all religious people are getting fat really fat rich from followers and all the corruption damage that the government done by supporting them with these lies is it something you can do by looking the truth and help to rescue our lives from religious fanatics that make no sense and stop people from reality to learn something better instead of wasting their times on magic I wonder what size of the coin you are you interview a very very bright man not a religious lucrative rat
This man was a genius.
No, he was someone who decided to see, and learn, accept reality and give reasons for people to learn and to dream.. There no geniuses.. even if there are even they could be failures sometimes. But a free thinker is someone we all can be
Yes, by all definitions of 'genius', he was.
He was a person with an IQ of about 155, so we’ll, if not like Stephen hawking, Asimov was pretty smart by all means. Excelling in many fields, not just one or two.
Please fix the audio/video sync. It's 2020, not 1920.
I couldn't imagine a day without learning, that would be a sorrowful day indeed.
@Link Age But that is indeed something you learnt that day, so there you go :-D
@Link Age Such a filter to view life through, what a wonder it is to be you :-P
Asimov is superb here. Terrific interview by Moyers.
I enjoy learning and reading books, not because I want to become a genius, but for the reason of trying to understand how things works and do some projects.
How could he have been so wrong about curiosity and education in the age of the internet?
Yes. It's very sad.
Capnmax Such a very smart man. We live in an age of directionless people. And sucking up useless info and content is the new addiction. Let's hope it comes right before this century is done. Peace!✌
Capnmax - Asimov was an optimist.
Speak for yourself.
He certainly wasn't wrong in my case. I've learnt far more from the internet than I did in five years at one of Australia's top universities.
