THE IMPORTANCE OF COMPREHENSION
Comprehension is a fundamental cognitive skill that plays a pivotal role in human communication, learning, and problem-solving. Its importance cannot be overstated, as it forms the bedrock of our ability to make sense of the world around us. In the realm of language, comprehension enables us to understand spoken and written words, allowing us to engage in meaningful conversations, read and interpret literature, and follow instructions. Beyond language, comprehension extends to various aspects of life, such as comprehending complex mathematical concepts, scientific principles, and the nuances of social interactions.
In education, comprehension is the cornerstone of effective learning. It is not enough for students to merely memorize facts and figures; they must grasp the underlying concepts and ideas to apply knowledge creatively and critically. Comprehension enables students to connect new information with existing knowledge, fostering deeper understanding and long-term retention. Moreover, it empowers individuals to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information, promoting higher-order thinking skills that are essential in the modern world.
Comprehension also plays a crucial role in problem-solving and decision-making. Whether it’s deciphering a complex issue at work, navigating personal relationships, or making informed choices as citizens in a democratic society, the ability to comprehend diverse perspectives, data, and consequences is indispensable. Without comprehension, individuals are prone to misinterpretation, miscommunication, and making hasty or ill-informed decisions.
Furthermore, comprehension is intrinsically linked to empathy and cultural awareness. When we comprehend the experiences, beliefs, and perspectives of others, we can foster empathy and build bridges of understanding in an increasingly interconnected world. This skill is vital for promoting inclusivity, tolerance, and cooperation across diverse communities and global contexts.
In summary, comprehension is a multifaceted skill that underpins our capacity to learn, communicate, solve problems, and engage with the complexities of life. It is an essential tool for personal growth, education, and societal progress, contributing to more informed and empathetic individuals and a more harmonious and prosperous world.
Certainly, let’s delve deeper into the significance of comprehension.
Comprehension is not just a cognitive skill; it’s a lens through which we perceive and interact with the world. It enables us to extract meaning from the barrage of information we encounter daily, whether through text, images, or conversations. In an era defined by an overwhelming abundance of information, the ability to discern what is relevant, accurate, and valuable is paramount. Comprehension empowers us to sift through this data deluge, distinguishing between fact and fiction, making informed choices, and participating in meaningful discourse.
Moreover, comprehension fuels innovation and progress. It allows us to grasp the discoveries and inventions of those who came before us, building upon their knowledge to push the boundaries of human achievement. Scientific breakthroughs, technological advancements, and artistic creations all rely on the capacity to understand, synthesize, and innovate based on existing knowledge.
In the workplace, comprehension is an essential skill that can lead to professional success. It facilitates effective communication, ensuring that ideas are conveyed accurately and that tasks are executed with precision. Furthermore, it supports critical thinking and problem-solving, enabling employees to tackle complex challenges, adapt to changing circumstances, and contribute meaningfully to their organizations.
On a personal level, comprehension enriches our lives by fostering a deeper connection with the world and with others. It allows us to appreciate the beauty of literature, art, and culture, transcending surface-level experiences to engage with profound ideas and emotions. It also enhances our relationships, as it enables us to truly listen, understand, and empathize with others, strengthening bonds and resolving conflicts more effectively.
In the context of lifelong learning, comprehension remains a lifelong companion. It is the key to continued personal growth, adaptability, and resilience in a rapidly evolving world. In essence, comprehension is the bridge that connects us to knowledge, to each other, and to the possibilities of a brighter future. Its significance extends far beyond the boundaries of academia; it is a fundamental skill that shapes our identities and our collective destiny.
“I used to think that communication was the key until I realized comprehension is. You can communicate all you want to someone, but if they don’t understand you, it won’t reach them they way you need it to.”

Non-dualism and logic
Is it the answer to questions, or is it just more questions? Do we see a lot of things around us, or are we missing many more things that exist? This is my take on looking at ourselves and our world with logic, not eyes.
What should one follow – a religion, belief system, spirituality, or ‘how-to’ guide? I don’t know the answer to that, and nobody does because the one you are following may also be following someone else, and the chain may be going on and on. So, who are you following in the end? Nobody knows, and neither do I. But I know one thing for sure – I am on a path to understanding the world around me,…

Review: Cognizance – Phantazein (Willowtip)
My review of Cognizance – Phantazein (Willowtip), written for Heavy Music HQ:
Originating in Leeds, UK, Cognizance are adept at crafting a sublime technical death metal album. Three years after the release of Upheaval, they celebrate their return with their third album Phantazin, another prominent effort which brings a special sonic exhibition to the fore once again.
Phantazein is striking, catchy and groovy technical death metal, whose progressive strains also stand out. While it becomes atmospheric in many moments, it institutionalizes its musical horizon in the soundscape of modern death metal in the strongest form. From David Diepold’s drumming to Alex Baillie and Apostolis Karydis’ riff exchanges, Chris Binns pounding bass tunes, and Henry Pryce’s performance, which is like a beast behind the microphone, all keep Phantazein at the same peak quality of the last two albums. The songwriting and performances are impressive and the production pushes the album to the point it needs to keep the listener excited until the end. Phantazein is a special work for the band’s new audience and a respectable work for Cognizance fans.

Burrows End is SO SO good and Aabria is such a master of story telling. This season, despite being genuine DnD vs other systems Aabria has used, hasn't actually seen all that much full blown combat. Like, of course they've fought things throughout, but it's been so much more information hunting and puzzling together all the lore. But this obviously means those scenes we do have such full blown COMBAT with sets so much more important, which was obvious in the reactor....but the bear....so obviously it's been focused on in reference to Tula's reveal, or as a show of how fucked up biology wise this world they live in is and how dangerous it is in the forest.
But it's also Aabria laying such incredibly subtle groundwork. It's showing us "this is possible in this world. This happens. They can get inside of you, burrow into you, and you will be their walking warren. Parasite and host intertwined."
And then we move on...we focus on the secrets of the first stoats and learning of all these human things, and the chipmunks and bear are just fun tidbits to throwback to about how scary and fucked up things are, but no longer relevant.
Last week we heard those tapes, and I thought "that voice change there...the 'they're so sneaky'...was that a first stoat, who we only heard as squeaks, instead speaking through Dr. Wenabocker as he died?"
And I forgot about the bear too.
But the SECOND it was revealed that Wenabocker left, that his body was gone and that Phoebe left too? It all clicked.
The Bear wasn't just a fun, really cool fucked up battle set for an episode, it was incredibly important foreshadowing. The foundation, the trap, the big bad all at once hidden behind a cool, fucked up bear in the second goddamn episode of the season.

So, on my [redacted] rewatch of OFMD, I noticed that the cadence when Ed says "and tonight I'm supposed to kill... you" and when he says "what makes Ed happy is... you" is the same. The movement of his head is the same, the moment when he looks at Stede is in the same place in the phrase.
DJenks talked that one time about how he actually thinks the bathtub scene is the most intimate scene in the show, how these two people who are so closed off from others sit there and open themselves up to each other for the first time, and how beautiful that is. And I think Ed is confessing the same thing in both these moments.
Now, hear me out. They sound like opposite confessions, right? "I was trying to kill you" vs "I love you". But they're both saying "I love you". It's just in different ways.
"Love of a pet makes a man weak."
"You don't belong in doggy heaven."
I couldn't do it. I was weak. I love you and it made me weak.
By episode 9, by "what makes Ed happy is you", it's changed, but it's not the opposite. It's not 'I love you and it made me strong'.
It's 'I love you and it set me free'.
In the bathtub, Ed is confessing it like a crime. On the beach, he confesses it like a truth. It's such a beautiful development.
