One (out of many) reason for the 2008 financial collapse was the over-complication of the financial products and over-reliance on credit ratings to simplify the assessment. No one learned anything. Now just imagine how big the next crash will be when we let AI do all the "due-diligence"

The South Korean gov. recently pushed the initiative to adopt Linux with HarmoniKR (github.com/hamonikr). I can't believe North Korea beat them by 28 years with the Red Star OS (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Sta...). The Kims were cooking something.

I come to realize that there are mainly two kinds of people. Those who fear God, and those who fear those who fear God. In the modern day, everyone has the freedom to choose who they fear, including the God(s). I do not take this for granted.

We are all necromancers, just trying to see whose 'body' will last the longest, when our soul (will to a direction) eventually dries out. The body is the particle where the soul is the wave. And we are beings pushed through the ripples of time.
000
Hoon @hoon.kim · 13/12/2025
Why do we want that? Because every one of us wants to convince ourselves that we were alive. So we create corpse that can only move forward, and that 'zombie' changes direction every time it bumps into another stronger soul. That is what corporations, organizations, and groups of souls are.

Hoon @hoon.kim · 13/12/2025
Therefore, a corpus of knowledge is the dead remnants of the soul that is no longer. We are only allowed to guess what the soul of the 'once human' saw and thought through its remaining, and allows us to reflect on our own.
100
Hoon @hoon.kim · 13/12/2025
Fun fact, the word 'corpse' (dead flesh) and 'corporation' (company or legal entity) originates from the Latin word 'corpus,' which means body [without a soul]. A language is a tool to express what the soul thinks and sees, but the semantics are a reflection of its time.
