The practice of translation rests on two presuppositions. The first is that we are all different: we speak different tongues, and see the world in ways that are deeply influenced by the particular features of the tongue that we speak. The second is that we are all the same--that we can share the same broad and narrow kinds of feelings, information, understandings, and so forth. Without both of these suppositions, translation could not exist. Nor could anything we would like to call social life. Translation is another name for the human condition.

RE: https://mas.to/@rolf/116577832295849870
@rolf Good one. And here is more of her. Worth a look. 👍
Shirley Baker (1932 – 2014) was one of Britain’s most compelling yet underexposed social documentary photographers. Her street photography of the working-class inner-city areas, taken from 1960 until 2000, would come to define her humanist vision. Shirley’s curiosity and engagement with the everyday world around her resulted in many different strands of work, many of which are yet to be exhibited, each of which confirms her acute observation, visual humour as well as compassion for the lives of ordinary people as distinctive in its exploration of post-war British culture.

We are NOT all in the same 'Boat'. We are in the same 'Storm'. Some have yachts, some have canoes, and some are drowning. Just be kind and help when you can!

Men first felt necessity then look for utility, next attend to comfort, still later amuse themselves with pleasure, thence grow dissolute in luxury, and finally go mad and waste their substance.

Preparing the fish
I took this shot late in the evening in the harbor of Aden, Yemen. It was late, but these guys were still working on the latest catch in order to sell it early the next morning. This man was shouting something - I did not understand what.
Yemen is a fascinating country in every aspect. I met some amazing people.

No stranger to being late to a party, and amazed that this book is not cited more beyond its (magnificent) prologue.
Prescient analyses of transhumanism and utilitarianism, and a super inspiring writing/thinking style."It is quite conceivable that the modern age - which began with such an unprecedented and promising outburst of human activity - may end in the deadliest, most sterile passivity history has ever known."
