History PhD. I map the more esoteric inclines and declines of science fiction published primarily between 1945-1985. When SF tackles the greater morass of things and our oblique interiors I am happy. My website Science Fiction and Other Suspect Ruminations, with over five hundred reviews, charts these movements. https://sciencefictionruminations.com/
“Translation Issues in the Rapid Transmission of Esoteric Buddhism from India to China to Japan.” Gyankosh Journal of Educational Research, 1(1), 1-4. Central University of Himachal Pradesh, India (June 2023).
From the ABSTRACT: "Three consecutive patriarchs of Esoteric Buddhism were Amoghavajra of India, Huiguo of China, and Kūkai of Japan. This paper foregrounds the usually taken-for-granted but vital historical role of language education and translation in the international spread of religion and culture ... Japan's great saint Kūkai was educated in Chinese and Sanskrit, thus able to contribute to Sino-Japanese relations as well as to systematize Buddhism."

It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don't shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren't damaged; they're strengthened, matured, humbled. The U.S. needs to do same with slavery.
In 1968, at 30 years old, Lynn Conway transitioned. In doing so she lost her wife, her children, and her job at IBM. She continued on, living authentically as her true self and continued her career as an electral engineer. In 1978 she became an associate professor at MIT and taught a course in VLSI (very large scale integration) that became the basis of the Mead-Conway VLSI Design Methodology, changing how we design integrated circuits. In 1985 she became a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Michigan, and later the associate dean of engineering.
32 years after transitioning, Conway came out publicly as a transgender woman. Since than she has been a advocate for transgender people in the tech sector. In 2020 IBM formally apologized for firing Conway for being trans, over 50 years after the fact. Just a bit of #transHistory I learned today.
Read #QuinnNorton about #whiteness:
"The great thing about the divide-and-conquer of creating white-skin #privilege is that you don’t have to give people thusly bought off anything more, and American power structures didn’t. In places with black #slavery, the whites suffered terribly.
"There is a simple truth to American history for the majority of people who have ever been American: the worse the black experience, the worse everyone else’s experience, including whites. Driving down (or eliminating) black #wages, while always agreeable to whites, drove white pay lower than their European counterparts for most of our history."
As the numbers of enslaved Africans and their descendants in the Americas increased with the continued growth of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and Atlantic #plantation economies, non-slaveholding whites could serve on patrols to help protect against slave rebellions.
