What creative people understand about the importance of being alone
QZ.COM -- In the digital age, it's easier than ever to avoid spending time alone with our thoughts.... In fact, we so dislike solitude that we would rather administer electric shocks to ourselves than just sit and think. That's right--in studies that asked participants to spend six to 15 minutes in a room without any other stimulation, a significant portion opted to zap themselves just for the sake of breaking out of their brains. ...

News Flash for Digest + Ignition Ismaili Digest Has Left All Social Media. Here's why ...
As of September 1, 2019, Ismaili Digest will stop posting to all social media platforms. This major decision was, surprisingly, not as difficult as it seemed once we looked closely at the issue. Given admissions by top tech executives that they deliberately designed social media to be addictive (and don't use, nor allow their children to use, it), and given also the now virtually irrefutable, frightening psychological and social harm from social media (especially to children) we decided we could not, in good conscience, continue to use it at the expense of the Jamat's well-being. This newsflash details this and the many other reasons behind our decision. We hope the Jamat and other publishers find it useful in their own review of the value and harm of continuing to use or publishing to social media.

Tuesday's Teachings (From Life) The myth of "perfect"
OZANVAROL.COM -- The 2003 Mars Exploration Rovers project, sent two rovers to Mars. We had seen snapshots of the two landing sites taken from Martian orbiters so had some idea of what to expect. But once we touched down, our expectations for both sites were "totally, completely, utterly wrong," as Steve Squyres, the mission's principal investigator, put it. So we learned to use the rovers' tools to solve the problems that Mars gave us -- rather than the problems we expected. For example, when Spirit's right front wheel failed, we drove the rover backwards. There are important lessons here for us all. Absolute certainty is a mirage. When we face uncertainty, we often manufacture excuses ...

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
