Shangyang

The Shangyang (商羊), (or shang yang) in Chinese mythology was a rainbird (i.e. it could predict rain). It was one of several important mythical birds in this tradition. The Shangyang was particularly associated with the Lord of Rain, Yu Shi. Once the Shangyang was supposed to have visited the royal court at Qi, where it performed a dance upon its one leg, whereupon an embassy was sent inquire of the meaning of this event to Confucius in the neighboring state of Lu: the Shangyang was known to Confucius, who predicted imminent heavy rain and advised the digging of drainage and the raising of dikes. As a result of following the sage's advise, Qi was spared calamity due to the ensuing inundation, whereas the other states who did not heed the advice were heavily damaged.

This legendary incident has been often used to illustrate the folly of those who refuse to heed the words of the wise. Mythographer Lihui Yang associates Yu Shi with the Bi Fang bird, instead.

Rainbird's "The Universal Military Simulator" for the Amiga computer

Reviewing Rainbird's "The Universal Military Simulator" through a philosophical lens requires an exploration beyond its strategic and military simulation aspects, delving into the broader existential, ethical, and sociopolitical implications it presents.

1. The Nature of War and Human Conflict: At its core, "The Universal Military Simulator" is a depiction of war and conflict. Philosophically, this can be seen as a reflection on the human condition and the seemingly inherent propensity for conflict. The game, in simulating historical and hypothetical battles, allows players to engage with the deeper questions of why humans wage war, the ethical implications of warfare, and the consequences of military actions on a grand scale. It prompts players to consider the philosophical quandaries of power, dominance, and the human cost of conflict.

2. The Ethics of Simulation and Representation: The act of simulating war raises ethical questions about the portrayal and trivialization of conflict. Philosophically, this touches upon the moral responsibility of representing real-world violence and suffering in a virtual format. Is it ethical to recreate scenarios that in reality involve immense human suffering? Does the distancing effect of a simulation lead to a desensitization to violence, or can it be a tool for understanding and empathy?

3. Free Will vs. Determinism in Strategic Decisions: The strategic element of the game, where players make decisions that impact the outcome of conflicts, resonates with the philosophical debate of free will versus determinism. Players may feel they have complete control over their actions within the game, yet these actions are constrained by the game's programming and rules. This mirrors the philosophical question of how much free will we truly possess in life, versus being bound by the laws of nature and societal structures.

4. The Illusion of Power and Control: "The Universal Military Simulator" offers players a sense of power and control over vast armies and territories. This experience can be viewed through a philosophical lens as a commentary on the human desire for control and the often-illusory nature of power. The game acts as a microcosm of real-world power dynamics, highlighting how power is sought, used, and its transient nature.

5. The Role of Strategy and Rationality in Human Affairs: The game emphasizes strategy and rational thinking, requiring players to plan and execute military operations logically and efficiently. This focus on strategic rationality invites reflection on the role of reason in human affairs. It raises questions about whether human actions, particularly in conflict, are driven by rationality, emotion, or a complex interplay of both.

6. Moral Consequences and the Value of Life: Finally, "The Universal Military Simulator," by allowing players to control life-and-death scenarios on a large scale, opens up a discussion on the value of individual lives versus the greater good. The decisions made in the game can lead to reflections on the moral weight of commanding armies, where individual lives are often reduced to mere numbers or resources.

In conclusion, "The Universal Military Simulator," while a game of strategy and military tactics, offers a platform for deep philosophical exploration. It engages players with themes such as the nature of human conflict, the ethics of war simulation, free will and determinism, the illusion of power, the role of rationality in conflict, and the moral implications of life-and-death decisions. Through its gameplay, it prompts players to grapple with complex and challenging ethical and existential questions.

Europe Drip Irrigation Market Share, Growth Strategy, Trend Analysis, And Forecast 2028

Drip irrigation systems allow the use of controlled water in which water is slowly released into the plant's root system. Drip irrigation, also called trickle irrigation, is a type of micro-irrigation method that supplies water steadily and slowly over long periods of time to the soil surface through small-diameter pipes and tubes delivered to the root zone of plants. This method is intended to reduce the evaporation of moisture. Drip irrigation systems, when properly installed and managed, can achieve significant water savings by controlling evaporation and drainage. It can be used effectively on all soil types and can control soil erosion. Additionally, the drip system also helps feed the plants with organic matter and nutrients via the drip line. The Drip Irrigation technique is utilized for almost all types of horticulture crops and vegetables.

Kinda basic - hey Teald maybe don't eat that...

Rainbird just like me fr - man I love cereal! WET GRAINS. Hey quick question; Dereco what the fuck is that???

Neopets validates my writing! Stürmisch' coffee order at Teald's bakery is a dark chocolate mocha with a shot of orange syrup, because he likes chocolate and orange together! Ramune tried an orange too. Technically I guess so did Teald. Swoan. Swoan baby man baby boy please stop cannibalising.
