Science and technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response. Expelled from individual consciousness by the rush of change, history finds its revenge by stamping the collective unconsciousness with habits, values, expectations, dreams. The dialectic between past and future will continue to form our lives.

This technology will obviously become more prevalent. Who knows what will result? One thing is certain, computer technology will revolutionize the way we tell stories as much as movie film has.

I have a better internal and intuitive understanding of folklore and myth than science and technology, so in that way fantasy is easier.

We have designed our civilization based on science and technology and at the same time arranged things so that almost no one understands anything at all about science and technology. This is a clear prescription for disaster.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

These maxims and the art of interpreting them may be said to constitute the premisses of science but I prefer to call them our scientific beliefs. These premisses or beliefs are embodied in a tradition, the tradition of science.

I've been thinking about the distorted view of science that prevails in our culture. I've been wondering about this, because our civilization is completely dependent on science and high technology, yet most of us are alienated from science.

The march of science and technology does not imply growing intellectual complexity in the lives of most people. It often means the opposite.

The respect for human rights, essential if we are to use technology wisely, is not something alien that must be grafted onto science. On the contrary, it is integral to science, as also to scholarship in general.

Teej woman
Everywhere in Nepal
Likewise a garden blossomed red roses
Seemed to be fascinating sceneries
One can think it is like a
Revolution done by communist women
But it's a myth or may be an exaggeration
A few days happiness
Given by Hindu Tradition
To feast, to dance and to enjoy
Not for them almost
But for the sake of husbands
Fasting for good health and
Prosperity their husbands
To control their lives
A symbolic happiness
Eternal sorrow in it
Finishing day today works
Shouldering in bound burden
Into their souls
Keeping beauty
For sex, showcase and then
Bends backs to the other of rest.
God created and
After destroyed
Given deriving from
Tradition to the sign
A rose of slavery patriarchy
Naturally go drying and eliminating
To the Sun of god husband

Parker Clare
To a forgotten culture perhaps he now belongs
The man who could sing over a thousand songs
The father of the famous poet John Clare
Even in his own time people like him were rare.
The ballad singer of the Helpston countryside
Hundreds of the old songs he sung with him died
So little of the oral tradition now remain
Forever lost not to be found again.
Two hundred years ago one of a dying breed
Poor Parker Clare he could not write nor read
Yet through his son his name lives on today
A memory lost but yet to fade away.
He came from an oral tradition that is forever gone
Yet memories of what was still living on
And at a time when great change was happening in his English countryside
Most of the songs he sung with Parker died.
A fading memory that won't fade away
And through his son his name still lives today
Still a genius in his own right the thresher Parker Clare
And even in his time his type were quite rare.

When they talk about family values, it's in a repressive way, as if our American tradition were only the Puritan tradition or the 19th century oppressive tradition. The Christian tradition.

An Old Tradition
An old tradition,
An old love;
Strap, trap, rap, tap, map, crap, cap, wrap, frap;
We brought nothing into this world and,
It is certain that we can carry nothing out!
But, food and clothing are needed in life,
And like your sensual desires.
An old tradition,
A person who lives for pleasure is dead while he or she still lives! !
But, i want to marry you my love;
So, keep yourself clean amd pure always,
And pay attention to yourself!
For, i am ever prepared for you.

But the first the general public learned about the discovery was the news of the destruction of Hiroshima by the atom bomb. A splendid achievement of science and technology had turned malign. Science became identified with death and destruction.

how do you know that God is a myth?
a myth
like the sphinx
and the phoenix
as the story goes
on and on
somehow
there was this death
at the end
and then immortality
in the same way
that my God
died and lived
forever
killing a myth
can be another myth
like asking how do you kill a myth
that does not exist?
when you finally give the correct answer
about our humanity
the sphinx gets killed.
