Wisdom is a matter of perspective depending on who you ask. Although you can get it from experience, from living life & learning lessons, you can gain wisdom at any age. You can meet someone young who will give you something to use just as much as an older person can. #life #wisdom #openmind #age

I think it is important for anyone looking to understand the world we live in to have not only an #OpenMind, but to be able to see things from another perspective. So here is an interesting summary of where this world of ours might be in the next 10 years, written by Thomas des Garets Geddes, of crystal ball gazing from the #Chinese perspective (Source: Sinification on substack Follow the link to the article in James Farqharsan’s restack here. https://substack.com/@jamesfarquharson186716 )

1. US–China bipolarity will become firmly entrenched. The US will maintain an overall lead, dominating cyberspace, services and international influence, whilst China will dominate the physical economy, manufacturing and military scale.
2. Middle powers, including the EU and India, will reject ideological camps in favour of pragmatic, “issue-based alignment” [问题性结盟], navigating between the two superpower ecosystems.
3. Fuelled by populism, trade protectionism and the normalisation of “might makes right”, the current “counter-globalisation order” [逆全球化秩序] will reach its peak during the second Trump administration.
4. By 2035, prolonged political fragmentation and widespread popular dissatisfaction with almost two decades of counter-globalisation will generate global demand for a new international order grounded in basic moral principles.
5. AI-driven excess production and entrenched protectionism will fracture global markets, pushing states towards “club-style” coordination and cause a long-term shift away from the dollar towards gold and other currencies.
6. Cyberspace will supersede physical territory as the primary geopolitical arena, stratifying the globe into three tiers: intelligent technology standard-setters (the US and China), innovators and AI application economies.
7. The mutual estrangement of the US and Chinese R&D sectors will result in two distinct global digital standards and market spheres, while also reflecting a pattern of “homogenised development” [同质性发展] as the US increasingly mimics Chinese industrial policy.
8. The growing lethality of intelligent weapons, combined with nuclear deterrence, will constrain major powers to cyber operations. Yet the lower immediate lethality of such operations may increase the frequency of unmanned cyberattacks and conflict.
9, China should transition its diplomatic focus to cyberspace, encouraging enterprises to “go out” [走出去] via a “produce locally, consume locally” [当地生产当地消费] model to bypass protectionism and internationalise its tech standards.
10. To secure its global standing and achieve “high-quality opening up” [高水平对外开放], China must actively mitigate domestic populist currents and attract foreign research talent through institutional reform.

Who want people to choose as their Messiah and how they view God

In previous weeks, people could see “The Passion” on television and hear a lot of talk about God. It was striking that several talked about their god Christ.

Today Donald Trump posted an AI photo of him depicted as Jesus healing a man. Trump insinuated that he is the one who brings peace and heals people. Striking even though Trump has started a war in Iran, many Americans still support him and almost, as it were, worship him as their deity. Many consider him as the present Messiah.

Today, as in the time of Jesus, several religious leaders are seen lounging with the ruling power in order to benefit from that power.

The current situation reminds us of the warning Jesus gave during his public life. He asked his disciples to be careful not to be overcome by the Pharisees’ words. He called the attitude of those religious leaders hypocritical. During Jesus’ lifetime, some inattentive believers were swept away by common theological teachings. Much of that imposed teaching was not really in accordance with the previous words of the Old Books.

Jesus pointed out that one had to be careful not to be hypocritical. That would be folly, because in the end everything will be made known. We must realise that nothing will remain hidden, that should not be made public, or not disclosed. Eventually, there will come a time when everything will become clear.

“17 For there is nothing hidden that will not become visible, nor anything secret that will not surely become known and then come to the light. 18 Because of this be very careful how you listen. For whoever has, more will be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.”” (Luke 8:17-18 MHM)

“2 There is nothing that is covered up that will not become known, for what is secret will become known. 3 So then, whatever you [disciples] say in darkness, it will be heard in the light; and whatever you whispered in secrecy will be announced from the rooftops.” (Luke 12:2-3 MHM)

Jesus tried to give his disciples more insight into the Words of God and asked them to look at the world with an open mind and question everything carefully in the light of the Holy Scriptures.

So the disciples had to be open, not two-faced, about the way they lived. He warned them to guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, that is, their doctrine, for it was hypocrisy. [In Scripture, yeast often refers to something evil, evil, or sinful (cf. Mark 8:15).]

“It was then Jesus warned them, saying: “Keep looking and be on guard against the leaven of the Pharisees, as well as the leaven of Herod.”” (Mark 8:15 MHM)

Jesus made it clear to his disciples that they would not always have an easy time, but that they still had to be fearless because God would take care of them.

Instead of fearing people who might kill their bodies (cf. 11:48–50), they should fear God, the One who has the power to throw someone into damnation. It is God Who makes and disposes. He decides about life and death. People can kill someone, but God can then bring them back to life.

God knows everything and knows every heart. The disciples were much more valuable to God than sparrows, which were sold for a small sum (five birds for two cents). The word for “penny” is assarion, a Roman copper coin worth about 1/16 of a denarius (a daily wage), and used only here and in Matthew 10:29. Since God cares for ordinary little birds (cf. Luke 12:22), He will also take care of His own.

“Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion? And not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s [awareness].” (Matthew 10:29 MHM)

“Now Jesus turned to his disciples and said: “And so I tell you [disciples], do not be anxious regarding your souls as to what you will eat, nor regarding your body as to what you will wear.” (Luke 12:22 MHM)

In these turbid or troubled times, several people fear that everything will go wrong and that we are heading for a world war. Those who believe in Jesus Christ and His Heavenly Father do not have to be afraid. They do know that there will one day be a very big war that will be much worse than all previous wars. But they need not fear that, provided Armageddon is the very last war before Jesus’’s return, which will let us pass through the gates of God’s Kingdom, where a peaceful life lies ahead for true believers.

In these times, it comes down to making the right choice. We will have to decide whether we want to view Trump, Jesus or someone else as the Messiah and hope for that person for our salvation.

How do you want to view God, and who do you see in Jesus Christ, who has risen from the dead?

Freedom is a balancing act that requires knowing when to relinquish authority.... Too much control prevents us from seeing possibilities beyond our immediate desires. Too much order stifles the healthy chaos, the restlessness, of a truly open mind.

You never fully know where you’re going. But at some point, you stop waiting and begin.

Not with a map. Not with a plan. But with your mind wide open to the quiet signs, the unexpected turns, the moments that feel like coincidence but guide you like a compass in the snow.

You didn’t search for them. But they found you anyway.

A quotation from David Eddings

A man my age is willing to accept almost anything. After the initial shock of astonishment that comes each morning when I wake up and discover that I’m still alive, I can face the day with an open mind.

David Eddings (1931-2009) American writer
The Shining Ones, Part 1, ch. 7 [Fontan] (1993)

EVERY BELIEF IS A MENTAL POSITION WE HOLD
What if belief isn't truth—but just a position your mind has taken?

In this post, I reflect on how our beliefs shape us, limit us, and how freedom begins when we question them.
Includes a real-life story that changed how I see belief itself.

A quotation from John Adams

The English Constitution is founded, tis bottomed And grounded on the Knowledge and good sense of the People. The very Ground of our Liberties, is the freedom of Elections. Every Man has in Politicks as well as Religion, a Right to think and speak and Act for himself. No man either King or Subject, Clergyman or Layman has any Right to dictate to me the Person I shall choose for my Legislator and Ruler. I must judge for myself, but how can I judge, how can any Man judge, unless his Mind has been opened and enlarged by Reading.

John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)

Daily Inspiration: "While you might never open many closed minds, be careful to never close your own!" - Futurist  Jim Carroll

A closed mind is a dangerous thing.

There's a lot of them about.

And the fact is, many innovation efforts fail because of all the closed minds that surround any new initiative. It's often said that the best antidote for a closed mind is an open book, but many refuse to read. It is also said that minds are like parachutes - they only function when they are open Things like this make it extremely difficult for forward-oriented organizations and innovative people to move forward with new ideas.

Remember my innovation killer list? "You can't do that, because we've always done it this way!" "It won't work!" "It's doomed to fail!" These phrases and many others are indicative of the closed mind - the inability to change the way things are done, to conceive new ideas, or to accept a different way of thinking.

And the problem is, if you are always surrounded by this type of negativity, it can drag you down into a swell of conformity.

Don't let that happen. Always keep in mind the characteristics of open-minded people:

- they are open to new ideas and opinions and willing to consider them.

- they are willing to accept different lifestyles, cultural norms, or day-to-day behaviors

- they respect the belief systems and deep values of other people

- they know how to take any challenge and turn it into an opportunity

- they are sympathetic to other viewpoints

- they make sure to take the time to see both sides of every situation.

- they are curious, eager to learn, and always exploring new things

And most important, being open-minded involves treating all people with deep respect and dignity for who they are - regardless of who they are.
