He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·       Only human can understand other human; my husband does not understand me; therefore, he is not a human. Impress more but persuade less   Writing aims at self-projection establishes the intellectual cachet of a writer: it impresses more but persuades less; reader feels that through it comes the wisdom of the ages though much part of it is beyond his comprehension. Good writing moves reader many levels beyond his own thinking and opens him to the world in a different and better way.     Creating twist   The meaning of communication acts depends on what they are about ; the use of...

Manipulating or faking ethos, Points to ponder

Manipulating or faking ethos, Points to ponder   By  Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·       Implied talk is the talk about things that do not appear on the surface of conversation; or it is not about things that appear on the surface of conversation. ·       Objectivity of the anchorperson lies in feigning no direct interest in the outcome the debate. Manipulating or faking ethos  Words are partially limited by words. Ethos is not limited by what the speaker says because ‘ethos does not belong to the speaker but to the audience’ and it always extends to the history of the speaker ‘moral competence’; therefore, political marketing consultant having realized that speaker cannot establish ethos from th...

Stupid answer does not.. When the dismissal must be dismissed

Stupid answer does not.. When the dismissal must be dismissed   By  Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·       One of our major flaws is to see one as saint because of one quality despite many flaws and as devil because of one flaw despite many qualities. Stupid answer does not always prove you stupid.  Wrong questions are of various kinds: ask a child about the feelings he will be introduced much later in life and you will get the stupid answer; but the stupidity of answer proves the stupidity of questioner not of a child . Question is wrong for the person if it proves him wrong. Question the licentious hedonist of the rightness of asceticism. Answer: ‘This is the right way of living a life’ proves the stupidity of a respondent as ...

Atheist owes an explanation. Match maker.

Atheist owes an explanation. Match maker. By  Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. Atheist owes an explanation for replacing not provable with false.   Many things unknown hardly a century ago are known today because of the innovation and sophistication in technology. Every scientist or every enlightened individual knows and understands that things existed long before their discovery . Failure to prove as everyone believes cannot be the proof of non-existence . I am desperately at a loss to understand that how faith can be the enemy of logic as many of my friends those happen to be the people of logic tell me so. These friends of mine are the people of rationality; therefore, they are fully alive to the impossibility of replacing not provable with false; but the...

GOD is democrat. Justification for propaganda in autocracy and in democracy

GOD is democrat. Justification for propaganda in autocracy and in democracy By  Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. GOD is democrat Many people are washed down the drain because they opt for the discipline they are not cut for; but many people fail to excel despite channeling themselves in a right field. This is most often because people pursue things wonderfully well if constantly being reminded of the time-limit. Real challenges of a life, however, do not occur in the examination hall; therefore many academically brilliant fizzle out like the wet firecracker because they fail to follow implied time-constraints. Mass consumption mediated by technology made possible the democracy of consumption since the advent of industrial revolution but God is democrat since th...

He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·        True follower agrees with the conclusion evidence he is unaware of portends. ·        He is a great leader as his followers say, and I as well believe that he can achieve the impossible as I have seen him ‘diving down deeper into the sea of knowledge and coming up drier’. ·        Intellectual dishonesty ·        Intellectual dishonesty is used as a rhetorical device to frame an opponent in a negative light.

Validity of dismissal proves…; Muslim in color and Muslim in culture but..

Validity of dismissal proves…; Muslim in color and Muslim in culture but.. By   Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·        ‘Post modern subjectivity shifts and changes over time, across texts, and around competing spaces’ however, its classical interpretation persists: judgment not independent of a person. Merits and demerits are not examined on merit; they are simply seen through person.   Validity of dismissal proves… ·        Proving the dismissal of the argument invalid (proving that dismissal is not justified) does not prove automatically, as it is commonly assumed, that argument is valid. Analysis that rejects, for example, capitalism (emphasizes it as the flawed) without examining its inherent ...

Collective unconscious

Collective unconscious By   Dr. Sohail Ansari Collective unconscious ·        Even we tack on the personal unconscious as an appendix to our immediate consciousness, it is not, as we all believe to be the only empirical psyche, there is the inherited collective unconscious that does not develop individually and become conscious secondarily and give definite form to certain psychic contents. This pre-existent form accounts for the difference in attitude of two infants individuals those are raised together in a controlled environment because they demonstrate natural fascination to archetypal symbols embedded in their subconscious. Education is the instrument of homogenization; it imparts collective judgment and consensual value so that children having internalized value and norm demonstrate through their attitude the required behavior. The best example is USA; people of various regional and ideological origins share the same aspirations and are ...

Parties need culture; Stimuli and elaboration; Quotes By   Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·        Images do not need to be false to mislead, they are genuine, they just do not show the things that the person using them say they do. ·        I believe my leader is great because he says so. I question my detractor that why they believe an argument that takes its proof from a factor within the argument itself, rather than from an external one.    Parties needs culture to survive ·        Parties are born and die. Only those endure those create culture. This culture is made up of meanings between hard core voters__ bed rock of party’s electorate base__ and leaders ...
