the truth lying on the couch

                         "Legend has it that it happened ONE day....

 aphorism of the philosopher Democritus     

"Of truth we know nothing, for truth is in a well".^[1]

SECTION  1  - who  said  what....

LEARN one of the adages /wise quotes about the topic

a)

A))    Machado,  Antonio -  already stressed the paradox:      

Man's passion for truth is such                  

that he will welcome                                    

the bitterest of all postulates                        

so long as it strikes him as true.             

B))  TWO to chose from                                        

• (1) A lie travels around the globe while the truth is putting on its shoes.

• (2) A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on   

• Mark Twain                         

                                        ALBEIT ......

adage was attributed to Mark Twain in 1919,

 but  A version of this adage may be false

 ............

  .........................Twain died in 1910.

Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it

(j. Swift  the one from Gulliver's Travels)

SECTION  2                                                                          A dialogue and a fabulous fable

   

"One day the truth and the lie crossed"

1. characters.... Ms Truth - Mr Lie

- Good day.  -  Mr Truth told Mr Lie. 

- Good Morning.  Mr Lie answered Ms Truth. 

- Beautiful day.    she told  Mr Lie. 

• Then Ms Truth leaned out to see if it was true. It was. 

- Beautiful day. Then he told Ms Truth. 

- The lake is even more beautiful. He told the lie.

• Then the truth looked toward the lake and saw that the lie told the truth and nodded.  Happily she ran the lie to the water and 

- The water is even more beautiful. We swim.   -said  she.

The truth touched the water with her fingers and really was beautiful and trusted Mr Lie. Both took off their clothes and swam calmly.

        So far, so good.  

2. topsy turvy times....       

• A while later Mr Lie came out, dressed in the clothes of Ms Truth and left.

The furious Truth comes out of the well, unable to dress in the clothes of Mr Lie began to walk without clothes first, and then runs everywhere to find Lie so she could get her clothes back.The World, seeing Truth all naked, ....

• 3.  mirroring reactions in our world.... everyone  turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage; everyone was horrified to see her. The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein, it’s shame. 

 3.  experiences and outcomes....

Since then, Lie has traveled the world dressed as Truth, satisfying the needs of society, 

because the World, in any case, harbors no wish at all to meet me: this is true - reflected  Truth to herself-  there will be a time in this new XXI century  where people prefer to accept the lie disguised as truth and not  the naked truth. "

colonialism I. conterpoint to the Russian great game

Russia In Central Asia In 1889  by the  by THE Hon. George N. Curzon

An authoritative voice who later baecame Viceroy of India 1899-1905)

Published in 1889 these articles were descriptive of a journey which I had taken in the months of September and October 1888, along the newly-constructed Transcaspian Rail way, through certain of the Central Asian dominions of the Czar of Russia.

• TO 'keep England quiet in Europe by keeping her employed in Asia, that, briefly put, is the sum and substance of Russian policy.

• ' Upon the occurrence of either of two contingencies,' he said ; 'if you tamper with the Russian dominions north of the Oxus ; or if you interfere with the realisation of our national aims in Europe.' (pag. 321-24)

When London *waived the rules*   -  XIX century 1______On February 16, 1768, the Court of Directors of the East India Company in London wrote to Warren Hastings: “we desire you to obtain the best intelligence you can whether cloth and other European commodities may not find their way to Tibet, Lhasa and the Western parts of China.” This spurred the British exploration of the Himalayas. 2______1880The British advances into the foothills of the Himalayas did not go unnoticed in Lhasa and Beijing. The Tibetans, who described the British penetration as “oil seeping into a cloth”, resisted British attempts to establish trade routes into Tibet and watched with trepidation as the British forged a network of railways and roads on the southern edges of the Himalayas to speed up trade.It ended with the 1890 no workable treaty.  3_______In 1899 Curzon became the Viceroy of India. He took a more menacing view of the absence of British presence on the Tibetan plateau, seeing Russia as the chief adversary, whose ambition was the total domination of Asia and thus a potential threat to the British Empire. In 1903, under Curzon’s leadership, the British invaded Tibet and marched to Lhasa. The first clause of the treaty that the British then forced on the Tibetans was the acceptance of the 1890 treaty.

Colonies -polis....new words- settlers, pilgrims, our worlds

3 ingots

New words - 

the discovery of unruled lands, 

that is conquest,

tercüman. 

cat: torsimany; cast: trujamán, truchimán (s. XIV y XV) o trujimán; pt: turgimão; it: turcimano; fr: trouchement, troucheman: Latin: dragoman): the entry comes from Arabic  turyuman and it was used in the  XIII century,  Las Siete Partidas (Partida II, título XXX) by the King Alfonso, as a  synonym of go-between and interpret. Probably derived from Turkish tercüman.

Plato was not willing to learn other languages. He considered the knowledge of languages slave wisdom. Contempt for the languages of the defeated was part of the arsenal of all conquerors.

1- On Cleopatra’s knowledge: “She spoke most languages, and there were but few of the foreign ambassadors whom she answered through an interpreter.”

2- The Normans despised the English language.

INTRO- Beatus Lullius (born in Majorca from a migrant Catalan family). Spreading the word of God.

Llull pressed for the study of Arabic and other then-insufficiently studied languages in Europe for the purpose of converting Muslims to Christianity. He travelled through Europe to meet with popes, kings, and princes, trying to establish special colleges to prepare future missionaries.
He returned in 1308, reporting that the conversion of Muslims should be achieved through prayer, not through military force. He finally achieved his goal of linguistic education at major universities in 1311 when  the Council of Vienne  ordered the creation of chairs of Hebrew, Arabic and Chaldean (Aramaic) at the universities of Bologna, Oxford, PAris and Salamanca as well as at the Papal Court.

Symbolically enacting colonial authority meant that ceremonies, actions, speeches, and records primarily targeted their fellow Europeans. It was above all their own countrymen and political leaders that colonists had to convince of the legitimacy of their actions, not indigenous people. (Seed, 1995: 11)

BIT 1. -Christophorus and the Jew

The European Discovery of the New World – In 1492, Christopher Columbus filled his frst two weeks of his journal with 75 entries with the words .... Lord? faith?, no: GOLD. His landing in the Bahamas changed the world forever. It helped establish trade routes between North America and Europe and ushered in a new age of voyage and discovery. Columbus brought Luis De Torres, born Yosef ben Levi Ha-Ivri, an interpreter who had converted in 1491 to avoid Isabel's expulsion edict, with him during his first voyage. Unfortunately, De Torres’s proficiency in Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, Portuguese, and Spanish was of little use in communicating with the natives.
Columbus hoped that the interpreter's skills would be useful in Asia because they would enable him to communicate with local Jewish traders.

After arriving at Cuba, which he supposed to be the Asian coast, Columbus sent de Torres and the sailor Rodrigo de Jerez for an expedition inland on November 2, 1492. Their task was to explore the country, to contact its ruler and to gather information about the Asian emperor of Kathay described by Marco Polo. The two men were received with great honours in a local village (our Indians), from where they returned four days later. They did report on the native custom of drying leaves, inserting them in cane pipes, burning them, and inhaling the smoke: the first European encounter with

BIT 2.  Indian subcontinent - Portuguese traders: 

Yusuf Adil Shah - Adil Khan - Hidalcão The story of Gaspar da Gama is a fascinating one. According to his own story, he was born in Poznan, Poland in 1444, but his family left due to religious prosecution. He became a Jewish traveller, made his way to Alexandria, was taken prisoner and sold as a slave in India, where he obtained his freedom and entered the service of the ruler of Goa. There, he took on the name Yusuf 'Adil. We do not know what his original name was.
When the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama arrived off Angediva in 1498, he was greeted in a friendly fashion by this flowing white long-bearded European on behalf of his master.

Startled, and believing he was probably a spy, Gaspar de Gama was immediately arrested and tortured. Realizing the man would be useful to him as he spoke various languages, including Hebrew, Arabic, Chaldean (Caldeu) and Italian mixed with Spanish.
Vasco da Gama self-righteously seized the Jew and compelled him to embrace Christianity under the baptismal name of Gaspar da Gama.

He was also known as Hidalcão, Gaspar d'Almeida and Gaspar de las Indias. As a Catholic, Gaspar da Gama became the pilot of Vasca da Gama's fleet. He sailed with several Portuguese fleets between Europe and India, including the fleet  that discovered Brazil in 1501.

Cantino planisphere -1502

 Former renegades and captives, natives and converted slaves, Jews and new Christians, adventurers and convicts formed an important contingent of a specific category inside the frontier society of the Portuguese empire: that of the interpreters or linguas. Furthermore, there were several technical problems. Individuals with proficiency in Eastern languages were rare in Portugal.

BIT 3.  "Welcome Englishmen" 1621  - English pilgrims

From the 1622 The booklet Mourt's Relation, where the narrator describes Samoset's visit thus:

Friday the 16th a fair warm day towards; this morning we determined to conclude of the military orders, which we had begun to consider of before but were interrupted by the savages, as we mentioned formerly; and whilst we were busied hereabout, we were interrupted again, for there presented himself a savage, which caused an alarm. He very boldly came all alone and along the houses straight to the rendezvous, where we intercepted him, not suffering him to go in, as undoubtedly he would, out of his boldness.

He saluted us in English, and bade us welcome, for he had learned some broken English among the Englishmen that came to fish at  Monchiggon, and knew by name the most of the captains, commanders, and masters that usually come.  

He was a man free in speech, so far as he could express his mind, and of a seemly carriage. We questioned him of many things; he was the first savage we could meet withal. He said he was not of these parts, but of Morattiggon, and one of the sagamores or lords thereof, and had been eight months in these parts, it lying hence a day's sail with a great wind, and five days by land. He discoursed of the whole country, and of every province, and of their sagamores, and their number of men, and strength.

Here's what really happened.

In 1614, six years before the Pilgrims landed in modern-day Massachusetts, an Englishman named Thomas Hunt kidnapped Tisquantum from his village, Patuxet, which was part of a group of villages known as the Wampanoag confederation. (Europeans had started visiting the northeast of what is now the United States by the 1520s, and probably as early as the 1480s.)

Hunt took Tisquantum and around two dozen other kidnapped Wampanoag to Spain, where he tried to sell them into slavery.

"It caused quite a commotion when this guy showed up trying to sell these people," Mann said. "A bunch of people in the church said no way." 

Tisquantum escaped slavery -- with the help of Catholic friars, according to some accounts -- then somehow found his way to England. 

BIT 4.   The North and East in Outer Mongolia. Manchu-Russian neighbours -XVII century

Russia could not maintain the Eastern border. She was more interested in trade terms. 

The new rulers, the Manchu (Qing dinasty -1644-1912). Their government sent two letters to the Tsar (in Latin) in 1685 suggesting peace and demanding that Russian freebooters leave the Amur river. 

The language used was Latin, the translators being, for the Russians, a Pole named Andrei Bielobocki and for the Chinese the Jesuits Gerbillon and T Pereira. The differences between Manchu-Russian versions of the treaty, see V. S. Frank, "The Territorial Terms of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nerchinsk, 1689". Then no need of Mandarin Chinese.... yet.

Not Chinese dynasties: Mongol (1212-1389). (Yuan  = Unity)

Manchu _ Qing - "Pure" 


Ok,,,,

you know the rest of the test.

Digital age posts-01 -Reported speech from California - Hey Siri

Choosing wisely

Section: Launching into Limbo

.........by Jericho. RAJNINGER.............. the Californian daily  2019 /08/08

Hey, Siri.Yes?I have an important question I’d like to ask you. Ask away, Jericho.Can a 19-year-old boy be considered a grown-up if the fourth-most-used application on his cellphone is NBA 2K18? And does it help if the New York Times is not too far behind? Here, I found this on the web.But what do you think about it, Siri? It’s your opinion that counts, Jericho.Sure, but I’d like to hear yours.Playing “Yours” by Russell Dickerson.Noooo! Forget it. I wanted to discuss cellphones, and considering you’re forever trapped inside of mine, I figured you’d be the one to go to. Perhaps that was a mistake. You know what, why don’t I talk and you can just listen for now?OK, talk to Siri.

Looking back at the nine months I spent in Berkeley this year, I don’t think I ever, not once, inhabited a phoneless space — lecture hall, library, dorm room, lounge, cafeteria, lawn, public bathroom or otherwise. 

In fact, let me rephrase: Not a second in a day passed without one of my peers using a phone in my presence. Even in settings where phones were prohibited, my classmates and I would all steal glances at our screens every few minutes, such that, inevitably, there was at least one person in the room on a cellular device at any given moment in time. 

Over the course of the year, this omnipresent preoccupation with phones — a result of living among thousands of screen-addicted teens — grew rather exhausting. So exhausting that even I, a fellow screen-addicted teen, began to take notice — you there, Siri? 

Wherever you are, that’s where I am, Jericho.  

Right, OK, just checking. 

When I returned home for the summer, I returned to a household occupied only by my parents — two 50-year-olds who do not, in fact, have unhealthy relationships with their cellular devices. ...

Recomended....   You're a social distancer

And I did — for a time, at least.

Soon after these rather explicit restrictions were imposed, however, my friends and I decided it was a good idea to go out for Korean barbecue. Disappointed that the semester was coming to a premature close, we wanted to celebrate. If you’ve ever eaten Korean barbecue before, you know it’s a rather foolish meal to share with nine other people in the midst of a global pandemic.
