Year of the Snake Chinese New Year in 2025- Jan 29 2025

The year of the snake is meant to be a year of intelligence + inconsiderateness. Remember the idea of yin-yang is very present in many chinese schools of thought so it isn't merely what is emphasized that is positive but also what is negative. Intelligence in this case means search for knowledge which at its most negative is inconsiderate to the ramifications of such searches.

Dynamite with the noble prize, the nuclear bomb by oppenheimer, the 1900s computer by turing, all of these were acts of knowledge, the person that started these technologies wasn't a warrior but each regardless to their intentions had an inconsiderateness in their quest for knowledge to the dangers and destruction their technology in its form or advanced would bring. Turing was punished for being a homosexual, at least in my view,  so he took his life after the second phase of the war of white european empires. Oppenheimer had a role in giving the nuclear tech to russia to make sure the usa alone didn't have the technology which post hiroshima + nagasaki , which I can tell you from a first hand source was not needed militaristically, the usa proved it shouldn't have possession of any nuclear weapons and at the least none alone. Noble has a prize still awarded in his name, dynamite did tons of damage on the battlefield or to environments. I know some in the knowledge community, science[from the latin] means knowledge not wisdom or arithmetics [mathematics [[from the hellenistic]] means knowledge too, not arithmetics or wisdom],view the acquisition of knowledge is to be achieved regardless of how it is used. It is inconsiderate of inconsiderations , assuming a faith based notion to it. 

So the most positive outlook is to help those you can with your knowledge, embrace the erudition to derive more knowledge, and be careful of inconsiderations. 

 It is a wood year, so wood is strongest at springtime, the colors are greens or blues. Wood deals with growth, which at its best can be a time of great advancement at its worst can be a time where one is.. to big for their britches. 

ORchid or cactus are lucky flowers.The fourth lunar month is the month of the snake. So it is strongest then, any babies born from april 20th to may 21st

I hadn't considered the potential inconsiderateness of search for and acquisition of knowledge.  Interesting perspective.  I recently checked out from the library a brief biography on Alfred Noble, which I have not read.  I know nothing of this man but had been wondering lately.  The book was in my face as I looked for one of Denmark Vesey.   Your mentioning of it brings to mind the Rhodes scholarship and the man behind the name.  

Response from the author:

Yeah, I am working on some stories and may implement Ki-sho-Ten-ketsu , an east asian form of storytelling

I embeded the post , the world is full of many different types of storytelling , which reflect ways of looking at humanity. So few of us are exposed to even a decent fraction of them.
