Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Shadows on Bondi Beach

Shadows on Bondi Beach

The news of the attack near Bondi Beach, a place synonymous with vibrancy and joy, has cast a deep shadow. My heart goes out to all those affected by this senseless violence. To hear that such an act could be perpetrated, reportedly by a father and son duo with alleged ties to IS ideology, as indicated by the two IS flags found in their car, is profoundly disturbing.

This incident forces us to confront difficult questions about the forces that can lead individuals, even family units, down such a destructive path. It’s a stark reminder of the complex interplay of ideology, despair, and vulnerability that can manifest in shocking acts of carnage.

I’ve often reflected on how we process and understand information in our increasingly interconnected world. In my past discussions, such as those about the importance of 'keywords' in identifying subjects and themes re: 1,000 KEYWORDS and the intricate process of 'parsing blogs' to extract meaning FW: Update: Parsing blogs, I was exploring the mechanics of digital understanding. While these blogs primarily concerned data and content generation, the underlying principle of discerning patterns and understanding narratives holds a wider relevance. It’s about more than just data; it’s about comprehending the 'keywords' and ideological 'parses' that shape human actions, for better or worse. Though I couldn't have predicted this specific tragedy, the core idea I want to convey is this — take a moment to notice that I had brought up this thought or suggestion on the topic years ago. Understanding the intricate web of information, the narratives people consume, and the ideologies they embrace is crucial. This is a challenge I've always been fascinated by: how we can move beyond superficial understanding to grasp the deeper currents that drive societal events. Reflecting on it today, I feel a renewed urgency to revisit these earlier ideas, because they clearly hold value in the current context.

Such events remind us that our quest for understanding must extend beyond the digital realm into the very fabric of human society. We must strive to comprehend the roots of extremism, not just react to its symptoms.
