ignorance
"Ignorance is like cholera," he says. "It cannot be controlled by the individual alone: it requires the organised efforts of society."
"Ignorance of history is like floating down the river of time with a box over your head."
"What must happen to the the 21st century man sans knowledge about HOS? In society, history matters because this is where the social foundations are rooted. Ignorance of history is like being lost in an ocean of uncertainty. No identity. No cultural pride. Remove HOS from the intellectual education of an integral man and he will be no different from an ordinary man."
METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
