Some things I noticed 05/18/2020:
- Depraved Masochist Enjoys Following The News ?
- “both social media and traditional media are dominated by voices strongly averse to the political risks posed by a viable third candidate“
- How the Buddha Got His Face
- “although Buddhism is not actively nontheistic, it is so reticent on the subject of god as to virtually eschew [Buddha].”
- “In the omission of the figure of the Buddha, the Early Buddhist art is truly Buddhist. The rest is an art about Buddhism, rather than Buddhist art.”
- “under the first ever confluence of Greece, China, Persia and India, a reconstituted form of Buddhism, known as Mahayana flourished”
- “In the wake of Alexander, first centralized Indian state, founder Chandragupta. Support shown of Buddhism by grandson Ashoka not unlike Constantine’s conversion.”
- “Was the depiction of the Buddha as a human being the legacy of Greek influence in Bactria?” ??
- “as Buddhism a reaction to hierarchical Brahmin orthodoxy, so Chinese warlords who felt disparaged by Confucianism attracted to the ‘egalitarian creed.'”
- “trying to describe their projects using only one syllable words“
- Inside the Strange, Psychic World of Indigo Children
- “Zoom sees their architecture as a competitive advantage.“
- Stanford Pupper
