The Seven Sisters
Constellation | Stella | Stars and Significance
The Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters, is one of the most captivating star clusters in the night sky. Nestled in the constellation Taurus, this cluster has served as both a cultural icon and a navigational aid for centuries.
In ancient times, the Pleiades played a crucial role in nautical navigation. The Greeks, for instance, named them after the seven daughters of Atlas and Pleione from mythology. Sailors of antiquity, including those on epic voyages like those of Odysseus, relied on the Pleiades to guide their ships. The constellation’s prominence in the night sky made it an easy reference point for determining direction and seasons.
The heliacal rising of the Pleiades—when they first become visible in the dawn sky—was particularly important. This event marked the beginning of the navigation season in the Mediterranean, signaling safe passage for trading vessels and explorers.
Though modern navigators have advanced technologies at their disposal, the Pleiades remain a beloved fixture in the sky. The cluster’s bright stars, especially the seven most prominent ones, are easily visible and often used by stargazers and amateur astronomers for orientation.
The Pleiades consist of over a thousand stars, but seven stand out due to their brightness:
These stars form a tight cluster that can be spotted with the naked eye, making it an ideal marker in both ancient and modern contexts.
The Seven Sisters hold a special place in many cultures around the world. For the Maori and other Polynesian cultures, the Pleiades, known as Matariki, signify the start of the new year. In various indigenous cultures, the stars are part of rich mythologies and are often associated with agricultural cycles.
Matariki, also known as the Pleiades star cluster, holds deep cultural significance for many indigenous peoples, including Aboriginal tribes in Australia A. This celestial event marks the start of the new year and is a time for reflection, celebration, and connection to the land and ancestors.
For Aboriginal tribes, Matariki is a time to honor the past, celebrate the present, and look forward to the future B. The appearance of Matariki in the sky signals the beginning of a new cycle, a time to gather, share stories, and strengthen community bonds B. It is a period of renewal and hope, where the past year’s achievements and challenges are remembered and lessons are carried forward.
Matariki is also a time to reconnect with the land and its resources C. Aboriginal tribes use this period to prepare for the coming season, planting new crops and ensuring that the land is cared for C. The stars of Matariki are seen as guides, helping to predict the weather and the success of the harvest C. If the stars are clear and bright, it is believed to be a sign of a bountiful season ahead C.
Matariki celebrations vary among different Aboriginal tribes, but common elements include feasting, storytelling, and ceremonies B. These gatherings are a time to pass down knowledge and traditions from one generation to the next, ensuring that the cultural heritage is preserved. The stars of Matariki are often associated with specific stories and teachings, making them an integral part of Aboriginal culture.
In modern times, Matariki continues to be a significant event for Aboriginal tribes, serving as a reminder of their connection to the cosmos and their cultural heritage B. It is a time to celebrate identity, community, and the enduring bond between people and the stars.
Matariki is more than just a star cluster; it is a symbol of cultural resilience and continuity for Aboriginal tribes B. Its appearance in the sky each year is a reminder of the importance of community, tradition, and the natural world. As we look to the stars, we are reminded of our own insignificance and the Shortness and Limitations of our Life.
100 years are 4 generations of humans, but looking at the Seven Sisters, they seem to tell us:
„Your own 100 years are not more than one blink of your eyes. Guess the time it takes to send the light signals from our Cluster to your brain. Do you know how old we are? And do you know the distance between your eyes and our Cluster?
Anyway, when you and your generation has gone and will be long forgotten, we Seven Sisters will still be here in the sky.
Come and visit us here.“

What means Walkabout?
Its significance today
The concept of Walkabout holds profound meaning within Aboriginal Australian culture. Traditionally, it refers to a rite of passage during which young Aboriginal men embarked on a journey to live in the wilderness for a period of time, immersing themselves in their ancestral lands and spiritual heritage.
In contemporary times, Walkabout has transcended its traditional roots to symbolize a broader journey of self-discovery and connection to the land. It embodies the idea of stepping away from the hustle of modern life to reconnect with nature, culture, and oneself. For many, it represents an opportunity to explore Australia’s diverse landscapes and engage with its rich indigenous heritage.
This ancient practice continues to inspire people around the world, encouraging us to find balance, understand our place in the environment, and appreciate the deep cultural stories that shape our world.
In short: Walkabout means with Hermann Hesse
Understand who you are meant to be!
Follow the path of Education & Learning about yourself via walking through your memories, enjoy the NOW and live the day accordingly and do not worry at all about the Future.

Setting is The Ruby Gap National Park.
Read my Review via GoodReads.
Ruby Gap is a remote wilderness area located near Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia. It is known for its rugged beauty and unique geology, as well as its rich Indigenous history and cultural significance.
The Ruby Gap area is characterized by steep sandstone cliffs, deep gorges, and rocky outcrops. The area is home to a diverse range of plants and animals, including the red kangaroo, rock wallaby, and various bird species. The area also has several permanent waterholes, which are important for wildlife and for the Indigenous people who have lived in the area for thousands of years.
Ruby Gap is part of the West MacDonnell Ranges, which is a chain of mountains that runs west of Alice Springs. The ranges are sacred to the Arrernte people, who have lived in the area for thousands of years. The area has many significant cultural sites, including rock art galleries, ceremonial sites, and sacred places.
Ruby Gap is a popular spot for hiking and camping, but it is also a remote wilderness area that is not easily accessible. Visitors to the area should be well-prepared, as there are no facilities or services in the area and it can be challenging to navigate. Permits are required to access the Ruby Gap area, and visitors should be aware of the cultural and environmental sensitivities of the area.

Choice of Camp Sites and more
Having been around Europe, Namibia and RSA and NZ and Australia, I can camp and sleep and feel good according to circumstances.
However, for long term stays more than 2 nights I prefer a combination of reasonable price and shade and clean bathrooms plus pool plus no noise.
During school holidays I was asked to pay 100 AUD for an unpowered site per night, which is a Motel double Bed Price.
My experience with campsites depends on location and time (season) and spot clean and well managed chains with anual membership accounts are worth trying: One longer stay saves you more than the fees for two years.
G’day Parks Australia offers a fantastic network of over 300 parks across the country, providing travelers with a variety of camping and caravan sites in some of the most stunning locations A. Here’s why a membership with G’day Parks can be a great choice:
With these perks, a G’day Parks membership can enhance your camping and caravan experiences, making your adventures more enjoyable and affordable.
My favourite App to get information is WikiCamps Australia.
Reading the reviews, I tend to book short term and discuss details on the phone like time of arrival.
High Season like Xmas I drive 400km into the Hinterland, then move in wider circles back to the coast when some people are leaving early like 6 Jan.
After 2 or 3 nights at the ocean we drive back non stop to the Gold Coast in Queensland. Along the M1 we do not more than 400km per day.
Follow us here until mid Jan 2025.

Why? Good question, indeed. What means Brainrot?
Teaching does not work, and most students around the globe either love or hate their teachers.
Why? Good question, indeed.
Read about #brainrot and more!
Just writing my #eBook on Brainrot and Potatoes and Famines and Crops and Culture and Wars and more.
In recent years, the term “brainrot” has emerged as a popular way to describe the mental fatigue and cognitive decline associated with excessive consumption of low-quality, repetitive digital content A. This phenomenon, often linked to the rise of social media and short-form content platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels, has significant implications for communication and cognitive gaps.
“Brainrot” refers to the mental fog and reduced attention span that result from prolonged exposure to trivial or unstimulating media A. It’s characterized by a sense of being mentally drained or dulled after hours of scrolling through social media, binge-watching shows, or engaging with material that doesn’t challenge or stimulate the mind A. This state of mental saturation can lead to difficulty concentrating, reduced productivity, and a sense of dissatisfaction or guilt about wasted time A.
The constant bombardment of low-quality content can stifle creativity and critical thinking, leading to a homogeneous way of communicating B. When individuals spend most of their time engaging with online content, they may begin to lose touch with more meaningful, real-world interactions B. This can result in a decline in the quality of interpersonal communication, as people become more accustomed to brief, superficial exchanges rather than deep, thoughtful conversations.
One of the most concerning aspects of brainrot is its impact on cognitive development, particularly among younger generations C. Children and teens who spend excessive time online are at risk of developing cognitive gaps, where their ability to focus, think critically, and engage in complex problem-solving is compromised C. This can have long-term effects on their academic performance, social skills, and overall mental health.
To combat the negative effects of brainrot, it’s essential to promote digital wellness and balance. Encouraging breaks from screen time, engaging in offline activities, and consuming high-quality, intellectually stimulating content can help mitigate the cognitive decline associated with brainrot A. Additionally, fostering environments that prioritize meaningful communication and critical thinking can help bridge the cognitive gaps created by excessive digital consumption.
While brainrot may seem like a humorous term, its implications are serious and far-reaching. By understanding and addressing the impact of brainrot on communication and cognitive gaps, we can work towards a healthier, more balanced digital life. It’s crucial to recognize the importance of quality over quantity when it comes to media consumption and to prioritize real-world interactions that foster genuine connection and cognitive growth.
More here soon starting with political implications like banning Social Media in Australia or banning smartphones in German Middle Schools, High Schools, Secondary Schools or in University Classes.

In any Democracy the Majority of the population (The People) vote the Government they deserve.

Is the Blue Wall going to hold?
I find the discourse and comments on the US elections 2024 very interesting, for various reasons.
What is Democracy?

Music Is The Language
What are the expectations?
Why this Hype before and trend analysis?
My vote would be Kamala Harris, but one vote in millios of votes does not count at all. Only the total numbers are of any relevance counted in per cent.
Not voting is a vote: Like I had no time or would not know who to vote for.
Voting in Australia is compulsory, Pflicht , for many good reasons: The more votes the clearer the popular view. like 100 % have voted and 52 voted for Trump and 48 for Harris: This would be a very clear popular vote.
This does not mean, 48 % of the voters would be happy, but they would accept they lost.
The majority is not always rigt.
Only the Ocean is right, always right.
So why would people vote for Trump at all?
What are Swing States?
I would contact people in the country and ask them why Trump?
The answer would be more or less: We know what he stands for. We would neither agree with his behaviour nor his views.
But he sends out clear messages, he would not deceive us.
Do we know what Harris stands for?
The answer would be rather a clear NO.
Has she performed during the campaign? In fact Biden has not performed, and she had to replace him suddenly.
Was she a good Vice President?
No clue, in fact!
And she is a city person.
We do not like and trust people there in the Big Cities.

Elon Musk und Trump und Zuck und Cäsar
Trump und Putin
Comment from Munich before Election Day in SZ App | Author Heribert Prantl: (Example)
Die Lüge war und ist für Trump das Mittel für den Machterwerb. (Macht)
Schwindel, Betrug, Fälschung, Unverschämtheiten: Das alles hat es seit jeher in der großen und kleinen Politik immer wieder gegeben – aber selten so dreist, so unverfroren, so alltäglich und drecksfrech wie bei Trump.
(Trumpet Trump)
Zwar hat schon Niccolò Machiavelli vor fünfhundert Jahren das Lob der Lüge gesungen. Er war der politische Philosoph, der lehrte, dass zur Erlangung oder Erhaltung politischer Macht jedes Mittel erlaubt sei, unabhängig von Recht und Moral: Wer ein großer Mann werden wolle, der müsse ein „gran simulatore e dissimulatore“ werden, ein großer Lügner und Heuchler.
(SIC!) = SICK!!!
Man hatte bisher gedacht, das sei in Demokratien anders, man hatte gedacht, dass in Demokratien die Lüge den Lügner immer schneller einholt.
Trump widerlegt diese These! (Bisher)!
Dem Mann gebührt nicht die Wiederwahl, sondern die Verdammung seines Angedenkens.
Aber einen gewissen Dank hat sich selbst der Trompeter Trump verdient:
(Was lernt ein Krieger des Lichts von seinem ärgsten Feind?)
Trump hat den bequemen Glauben daran zerstört, dass Demokratie und Rechtsstaatlichkeit in den Kernstaaten der sogenannten freien Welt sich, und sei es auch nur langsam Step by Step, quasi weiterentwickeln zur Wahrheit hin.
Das Sichergeglaubte ist nicht sicher, weil Aufklärung nicht ein einmaliges und immer bleibendes Ereignis darstellt.
Aufklärung ist immer notwendig.
Immer und nicht nur manchmal oder von Zeit zu Zeit:
Immer wieder neu!
Wie notwendig sie ist, zeigt die Faszination, die ein Dauer-Lügner wie Trump auf eine Vielzahl von Wählerinnen und Wählern ausübt.
Vor 240 Jahren, im September 1784, hat Immanuel KANT einen seiner berühmtesten Sätze zu Papier gebracht: “Aufklärung ist der Ausgang des Menschen aus seiner selbstverschuldeten Unmündigkeit”.
Der Hype um Donald Trump zeigt heute oder morgen, wie wichtig dieser Ausgang noch und gerade im Herbst 2024 ist.

Wir leben in spannenden Zeiten …das ist sicher!
We all live in disruptive days for sure!
Certain is only uncertainty.
Carpe Diem!
Family First!
Education Second!
In a Nutshell: Why does Donald Trump become the POTUS of the USA a second time?
In these days of Uncertainty and Disruptions the United States population has voted clearly for a strong and white Man: In these days a vote for a non – white woman in the White House?
Obviously not at present, Kamala Harris has performed in the big cities, however not enough in the Country and smaller towns and communities in the United States.
But one day, Democracy will come to the USA as well (Leonard Cohen)

Sehr clever – indeed:
In seiner Rede sprang Trump von Thema zu Thema. Dass er jetzt hier stehe, nachdem es mutmaßlich zwei Anschlagsversuche auf ihn gab, sehe er als Zeichen. Er sagt: „Gott hat mein Leben verschont, damit ich unser Land rette und Amerika zu seiner Größe zurückführe. Und jetzt erfüllen wir diese Mission zusammen.“ In seiner Ansprache erwähnte Trump auch den Unternehmer Elon Musk, hob dessen Unterstützung heraus und lobte Musks Raumfahrt- und Satellitenfirmen, um die China und Russland ihn beneiden würden. Trump sagte, nun sei es an der Zeit, das, was die USA spalte, beiseitezulegen und zusammenzukommen, wie es schon während seiner ersten Amtszeit der Fall gewesen sei.
What will your life be like in three years?
Hmmm …
Not very different from now: I have managed 75 years successfully, and there may be 21 more years to come.
Or 7 or 14 …
Who knows?
I will be three years older and wiser for sure.
And reading and writing and blogging like in the last 21 years:
On Higher Education and Life Skills.
I might publish my first eBook …
Or even better: I might have published my first eBook successfully.
